in Washington, as President La

the measure.
With confiscation Of private pro-

the first of the year, business and
industrial interests reacted ap-

be applied sweepingly.
AS passed by the senate and
chamber of deputies, the act en-
powers the government to take
over property "for general social

Article one of the bill provides
that private property may be ex-
propriated "for construction Of all
works of general interest, also for
the establishment, exploitation, or

Article two gives the federal gov
ernment power to appropriate
private property for its own inter-
est or purposes or for the direct
or indirect benefit of the mass of
the people.
Without hope of intervention by
their governments, Americans and
others may have recourse to the
courts. Valuation Of confiscated
property, for purposes of compen-

taxation basis.

Labor Active in Defeating
st. Johns Commission Rule

ST. John, N. B. (ILNS)-Organized
labor played a prominent role in a
successful campaign for change in
type OF st. Johns civic government.
The campaign was climaxed recently
with referendum in which the voting
was three to one for the change from
commission form to aldermanic type.
The change was forced by exorbitant
taxation, and mounting costs of civic
administration, resulting in an in
creasing exodus from the city of in
dustries and householders.
Politicians had built up machines
at the cost of the taxpayers and were
trying desperately to continue. Now
there will be formal end to the
commission government in November,
with general civic election, the win
ners to replace the present four COM
missioners and mayor on December
/. The ST. John Trades and Labor
Council was lined up solidly behind
the move for the change, first in seek
ing legislation from the provincial as
sembly for the referendum and then

new JERSEY
Will Enforce W0men's Mini
mum Pay Law

Trenton, N. J. (AFLNS)-A belat-
ed decision to enforce New Jerseys
minimum wage law for women, enact
ed by the state legislature in 1888,
was announced by State Labor Com
missioner John j. Toohey, Jr., who
said he would appoint an advisory
council of IL members to initiate the
procedure. There will be four persons
representing labor, four representing
employers and four representing the
public on the council.
According to Mr.. Toohey there are
about 10000 women employed in
5000 factories who will be subject to
the law, which is similar to the New
York statute recently held unconstitu-
tional by the United States Supreme
Court
Actual enforcement of the law will
be preceded by an educational CAM
paign extending over two or three
months to acquaint manufacturers
and the public generally with the pro-
visions and purpose of the act in the
hope that the information thus i'm
parted will lessen opposition to the
measure.
Williams j. Egan, counsel for the
labor department, said there was a
feeling New Jerseys law would be up
held if it was enforced in the proper
manner"
In the meantime, Attorney General
David I. Wilentz was asked by Mr..
Toohey to study the New Jersey legis-
lation for the purpose of recommend
ing amendments that might be neces-
sary to bring it within the scope of
the federal constitution as interpret
ed by six out of nine justices of the
supreme court-that being the major
ity which held the New York law un-
constitutional.
