The office of Superintendent of
Public Buildings was created by Act
OF the Legislature in 1906. The Sup
erlntendent is appointed by the Gov
ernor and receives salary of fifteen
hundred dollars per year. He is charg.
ed with the maintenance and upkeep,
and is custodian of the public build
ings in Annapolis. These buildings are
the Governors Mansion, the State
Capitol and the Court of Appeals
Building.
The Department of Legislative Re-
ference was created by the Legisla-
ture in 1916. 1t is under the super
vision of Director, who is appointed
by the Governor, with an annual sal
airy of three thousand dollars. The
purpose of this Bureau is to keep a
record of all bills introduced into the
Legislature, whether passed or not, to
study subjects Of legislation and OBJ
tain information from other states
and countries as to how particula
laws are drawn and function. This
department is also required to make
surveys and studies of proposed lCgis-
lation for the Governor and advise and
inform him upon such subjects. Dur
ing sessions of the Legislature this
bureau is unusually active, As its staff
is called upon to draft proposed bills
for introduction, by numerous men,
bers of the House of Delegates and
the Senate, who are not familiar with
the formal requirements of legisla-
ton under the Constitution and Court
decisions. This bureau also maintains
a very complete and valuable library
+of legislative surveys and studies
from many other states and foreign
Countries.
The Commission on Uniformity is
an outgrowth of the modern tendency
to bring about uniformity in the
laws of the several states relating to
subjects affecting dealings between
the inhabitants of different states.
The wisdom of such a move must be
obvious to every one. Maryland had
adopted several of the so-called uni
form laws before the creation of the
Commission, which was established in
1927. Chief of these laws are the
Uniform Sales Act, the Uniform
Negotiable Instruments Act and the
Uniform Warehouse Receipts Act.
The Commission consists of three
members, appointed by the Governor.
The members receive no compensation
but modest allowance is made each
year for the actual expenses of the
commission. The three members of
the Commission are also designated
as the Maryland representatives to
the National Conference of The Com
missioners Of Uniform Laws.

All Eyes Same Size

Contrary to general opinion. says a
specialist, there Is no small eye or
large eye. All eyes are approximately
CT the same size. The reason for the
apparent difference depends upon the
oriace OF aperture through which the
eyes are seen. 1t Is the variable diam
eter Of this opening that creates the
erroneous impression of different sizes
Of eyes.

BOSTON, July 30.--The United
States District Court today denied the
petition of Charles Ponzi, get-rich-

sion Of the immigration authorities
to deport him to Italy. Ponz served
more than IL years in various Jails

TO return so per cent interest on IN

The action of the District Court
marks another step In the fight OF
the little Italian financier to remain
in the country of his adoption where
he spent most of his life.
Ponzi, acting as his own counsel,
has been waging lone battle against
the United States authorities in their
efforts to send him back to Italy on
the grounds that he had committed
two crimes involving moral turpitude.
He contends that he served two SEN
tences for the same crime, get

than a decade ago, and that the
immigration authorities err in accept
ing them as two separate crimes
His petition to the District Court
asked that the deportation warrant
be invalidated.
Judge Elisha Brewster ruled that
there was no merit in Ponzi's claim
that the proposed deportation is
Illegal and that the warrant, issued
after a fair and impartial trial" in
1927, was valid.

IMPORTANT LABOR

The new National Labor Relations
Board was reported today 70 be
planning announcement of q highly
important decision within the next
few days as to its stand on the labor
malority-rule question.
Disputes as 10 whether the labor
organization representing a majority
Of the workers in plant should speak
for all that plants employees have
plagued the administration since Con-
gress guaranteed the right to bargain
collectively.
Thus far there has been no uni
formity in the decisions of the Presi-
dents numerous arbitration agencies
when confronted with the problem.
Company Unions Wiped Out.
Company unions were practically
wiped out IN the soft-coal industry
when Hugh s. johnson. the recovery
administrator. cracked the whip TO
have operators sign closed-shop con-
tracts with the United Mine Workers
of America. This insured the United
being the major spokesman for soft
coal miners.
On the other hand, the settlement
Of the automobile strike specifically
provided that minofities were to be
represented in proportion to their
strength on the agency created to
work out agreements. President
Roosevelt personally arranged that
settlement.
The old National Labor Board stood
firmly for majority rule. In the Dem
yer street railway case, union affili-
ated with the American Federal of
Labor, won an election, 353 to 325, for
a workers committee.
The board was equally firm when
company union man won an elec-
ton. After the Full Fashioned Hosiery
workers Union, an A. F. Of l.. unit.
1bst to the Employees Mutual Benefit
association in an election at the In
danapolis Real Silk Hosiery plant, the
Full Fashioned union demanded rec
ogntion. The board turned 1t down.
Problem Arose Again.
No sooner had the new board taken
Office than the problem popped UP
again in the Houde Engineering Co.
case.
The United Automobile Workers,
another A. F. of L. unit. won an elec-
ton, 1,105 to STA, from the Welfare
and Athletic Association, an inside
union, at the Buffalo plant. The ma
tional union then demanded a written
contract with the company. The COM
pany said it would make contract
only If the inside union we're repre-
sented In its writing. Unable to settle
the dispute, the Buffalo Regional
Board handed 1t to the new Supreme
Court for Labor"
The boards decision in that case Is
expected to serve as a precedent, and
both labor and industry are keenly

against any action against L. Greif
g. Bro, Inc. concerning the removal
of its Blue Eagle.
Hungerford In letter to @ Harry
Poucer, executive vice president Of
an organization of the standing Of
the Baltimore Association Of Com
merce should have acted hurriedly on
a mere press report without securing
the facts"
Declared without Facts.
Saying it was TO be regretted" that
the association accused the Govern
ment of unfairness." Hungerfold wrote
that neither the Association of
Commerce nor its representatives, as
far as can be learned. made any
effort to secure the facts from any
Government official or agency con-
cernedr
The Blue Eagle was taken from the
Greif company last week by N. r. A.
authorities in Washington after Judge
william c. Coleman in United States
District Court here had restrained
Maryland officials from taking such
action. The concern, announcing it
had a large supply, said 1t would con-
tinue to sew the labels on its clothing
until the supply was used up.
Pouder last night remarked con-
corning the letter that he still thought
the N. r. A. was moving contrary to
"the intent of the Federal court order
in ordering the Greif company's Blue
Eagle taken away pending a court
trial on the merits Of the case"
No Additional Information.
Pouder added that Hungerford's
letter did not convey any additional
information he hal: not had. THE
news reports seemed to us to be
rather authentic and complete" he
said. I'VE had been hoping that the
N. r. A. would not take any action
which would be in conflict with the
court order"
Judge Coleman, who is at North
Haven, Me-, for a vacation, declined
today to make any comment on the
N. r. AS action. saying the case was
fully covered in his decision and fur
