breach while many OF the 5000 Pitts

turning to the job and while he was
awaiting a conference with window
glass manufacturers regarding a con-
tract involving 5000 others.
McCabe said:
The Libbey- -Owens-Ford Co. now
objects to the 8-cent-an-hour increase
granted by Pittsburgh Plate Glass.
The company Is hedging. They are
not moving as fast as I thought they
would yesterday when we reached an
agreement here.
THE company is using the argu-
ment that General Motors Is down

customer and that they do not need
the glass anyway. Lbbey- Owens

Walter r. Rudy, State Commission

regarding changes in the system Of
handling trials of speeders and other
violators of the motor vehicles cade.
States Attorney James H. Pugh
wrote to Mr.. Rudy today, announcing
plans for returning jurisdiction in
traffic cases to justices of the peace
as result of the recent decision of
the Maryland Court of Appeals hold
ing unconstitutional the establishment
of police justice court with exclu-
sive jurisdiction over such cases.
The ruling will revive the old prac-
tice of having speeders taken to the
nearest justice for trial, but will not
abolish the Police Justice Courts at
Rockville and Takoma Park, which
will continue to have jurisdiction in
criminal cases and civil cases up to
$100, as heretofore.

David ]. Lewis
AND THE
Supreme Court
By THE OBSERVER

WHETHER OR NOT the question
of reform of the Supreme Court is
permanently settled, it is interesting
to recall that one of the severest
criticisms of various actions of the
court, Throughout it's long history,
was made by our doughty represen-
tative in Congress, David j. Lewis,
ON the sixth of last July, in a
speech in the House.
THIS SPEECH was given a large
amount of space in the Baltimore
Sun of the next day, but seems to
have attracted little attention else
where. The House had been com
sidering tax-saving flaws in the rev.
enue laws, when Representative
Lewis, a member of the Ways and
Means committee of the House,
charged that the Supreme Court
had provided loopholes which had
cost the Federal Government nearly
$4,000, 100000.
MIR. LEWIS DID NOT content
himself with general statements, but
gave facts and figures which could
be verified by reference to the files.
The following table is a summary
of his charges as TO losses to be
laid at the door of the court:
