Birth Control Is Hayed
At Catholic Session
CATHERINE

With a renewed attack on birth
control and too much liberalism
in modern thought, the eleventh
annual conference Of the Ma
tiorlal Council of Catholic Women
went into the third day of its
session at the Mayflower Hotel
today.
The Rev. Francis j. Haas, di-
rector of the National Catholic
School of Social Service, declared
that the Catholic Church can
not subscribe to such monstrous
proposals. as the curbing of
natural birth and the dissolution
Of the home. He also attacked
divorce as a degradation of dig,
nifty which every woman shares.
DR.. Haas said that birth control
is the only most important moral
question which divides Catholic
social work from other social
agencies.
Liberal thinking as an influence
in the furtherance of the peace
movement was denounced by
Anna Din Gamble, chairman of
the councils committee on repre-
sentation at the peace luncheon"
of the council. She described the

ANTI MERGER
LAW CALLED "
BROKEN
Letter Being Prepared Today
Naming Chicago Utility As
VioIator; Pressure in Air

The Public Utilities Commission
was preparing to send to the Dis
trict Commissioners the bulky
record of the recent inquiry into
ownership of the Washington Gas
Light Company.
The record will be accompanied
by letter, in effect, recommend
ing that suit be instituted in
Equity Court charging Central
Public Service, of Chicago, with
violation of the La Toilette anti.
merger law in acquiring owner
ship of the local company.
Waits on Letter
Maj. Gen. Mason M. Patrick,
chairman of the commission, de-
cIared this action had been de-
cided upon after a thorough study
of the record. He said all that re-
mains before submitting the rec
ord to the Commissioners is the
drafting Of the letter to accom-
pany it.
Provision of the anti merger
law necessitates the Commission
ers to institute the court proceed
ings, rather than the Utilities
Commission. This law prohibits
any foreign utility corporation to
own, control or hold or vote more
than 20 per cent of the stock or
bonds of any public utility in the
District.
At the recent hearing, Assistant
Corporation Counsel William A.
Roberts presented a case, showing
that the Chicago UTILITY was the
absolute dictator of the local gas
company.
He produced evidence revealing
that Washington and Suburban
companies, ostenSible owner of the
gas company. was owned by West.
field Trust, of Illinois, and that
Col. Albert E. Peirce, president Of
Central Public Service, was sole
beneficiary of Westfield Trust. He
further showed that Central Pub
lie Service holds a $13,750, 900
mortgage on Westfield Trust.
Pressure Undetermined

commission had not decided upon
its course of action regarding the
gas cOmpany'S petition for q mini
mum pressure Of between 8 and
10 inches. However, it is believed
likely that the commission will
permit the company at least an
S-inch maximum pressure.
In the event the District is sue
cessful in the court battle the law
provides that the District Supreme
Court shall have power to either
dissolve the corporation acquired
in violation of the antimerger
law, or force the foreign utility to
dispose of the stock or to restrain
the foreign utility from voting
the stock.
The law provision would have
the effect of throwing the gas
company into control Of the my
nority stockholders.
