Did you know that more than II 900

There. mothers of the District col

Streams Of children, brought by par
ents who have been defeated by the
shame their boys and girls express
over entering class rooms in wretched
wearing apparel. wait in line each
Wednesday. and their needs are full
filled within the limitations Of the

"Shoes - shoes!" exclaims Mrs.

FEAR FAULTY LAW
Job Insurance Bills Constitution.
atty Question Rouses
Opposition.
By a STAFF Correspondent Of The Star.

By Staf Correspondent of The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, December To-
Questions concerning the constitu-
tionality of the unemployment insur-
ance bill pending before the General
Assembly, raised during yesterdays s
hearings on the measure, served to
crystalline some of the opposition to it
among Montgomery and Prince
Georges Delegates.
A typical view, expressed by q
Delegate who insisted on remaining
unidentified, was that the legislators
are reluctant to pass q measure un-
constitutional on its face merely be-
cause probably no one will chal-
lenge 1t.
Features Of the bill regarded by
many as unconstitutional consist Of
creation of a commission. and chang
ing the duties Of existing officials by
an emergency measure, and the impo-
sition of retroactive tax.
Those who support the bill admit
It may be unconstitutional for those
reasons, but argue that no one. prob
ably. will challenge it. Employees
would have nothing to gain by having
1t declared unconstitutional, and en-
ployers will have to pay the Federal
tax anyway, regardless Of whether
Maryland has a constitutional or un-
constitutional law. If the States act
should be held void, employees would
have to continue to pay the Federal
levy. But Maryland would not get
Its 80 per cent refund.
In answer to constitutional critics of
the bill. its advocates say it can be
changed, or, If necessary. an entire
new bill can be enacted at the regular
session, which convenes in January.

The Van Sweringen brothers for

into the records of the Senate Railway
Finance Investigating COMMITTEES.
- The one-time newsboys held the
reins Of their $4,000, 100000 rail and
industrial empire when they were bor-
rowing money for household expenses
during the depression, the record
showed, because it was too vast and
complex for any one else to handle.
Long after ]. P. Morgan banking
syndicate had seized control of the
23,00O-mile rail network, Investigators
were told, 1t retained the Van Swerin-
gems as active managers, because
they were "the only ones who can
handle this very intricate situation
Eventually the bankers were glad to
hand the whole system back to the
Van Sweringen interests at a $40
100000 loss, Chairman Wheeler of the
investigating committee said.
William C.. Potter, chairman of the
Guaranty Trust Co. of New York. tes-
titled yesterday his firm eventually
''got sick of putting up money" to sup
port the brothers towering corporate
pyramid.
The syndicate then sold the systems
controlling securities at auction in
September, 1885, to George A. Ball,
Indiana manufacturer.
In explaining the syndicate's rea-
son for selling the key securities at a
S4o,oo0,000 loss, Potter said some
bankers - including Morgan and
George r. Baker of the First National
Bank of New York-were eager to
take the loss "for income tax pur-
poses"
And We did not feel we we're COM
petent to run those railroads our
selves" he added.
A memorandum from Bakers per-
sonal files described the brothers.
