Our Corporation Business

Delaware must look to its
courts, as well as to the suf-
ficiency of the law, if it is to
continue to attract corpora
tions, declares the Morning
News. "Our courts must not
only continue to be capable
and fair, as they are recogniz-
ed to be, but our system of
Jurisprudence must be made
as strong as it can be made.
Capital, seeking incorporation,
is attracted to Delaware be-
cause of the laws of the state,
and because the corporations
are assured intelligent and
fair treatment by the courts
in litigation.
with a judiciary set apart
from the turmoil of elections,
and with long tenure, Della
ware has been able to attain
high rank in this respect. 1t
has gained the esteem and
confidence of the rest of the
country, as well as of our own
state.
Zone improvement, many
informed persons believe,
could be made by creating a
separate Supreme Court,
Chancellor Josiah o. Wolcott,
who favors such a move, ex-
planned its advantages, as he
sees them, in an address be-
fore the Masonic Club the
other day. He gave logical
reasons for his opinion. The |
Supreme Court now is made
up Of the chancellor and the !
five law judges. 1t passes
upon cases appealed from the
decisions of the chancellor and
the law judges. Members of
the judiciary whose decisions
are at issue, however, do not
sit in the Supreme Court In
cases upon which they have
already passed in lower
courts.
"Under the existing system
court business has reached
such proportions that the Su-
preme Court is handicapped.
It's members are so occupied
with the regular court work
that their time for Supreme
Court service is limited.
"A separate Supreme Court
could concentrate at all times
on appeals and dispose of
them with much more dis
patch than is possible now. In
all probability the present
Legislature again will be ask
ed to create a separate Su-
preme Court. The subject is
one of the most important
that could come before the
lawmakers"

CAPT. T. A.TENNENT.
DIES IN NEW YORK
Dental Corps Officer Was
One of First to Serve
on Battleship.

Capt. Eugene Hunter Tennent.
Dental Corps, U. S. Navy, aged 81
years, died yesterday at the New York
Naval Hospital, the Navy Department
was officially informed. He was on
duty at the Naval Medical School here
from 1890 until 1888
Born in the District January 81,
1883, Capt. Tennent was lineal de-
scendant of the Rev. William Tennent,
founder of the Log Cabin Academy at

tered the Navy in January, 1918, being

resentation, with an equally selfish
reason being charged here in the claim
that federation leaders do not want
the negotiations to 60 beyond the
membership of the Executive Council,
which through the action of tn last
two conventions has accumulated oil
garchic authority over the federation.
In the face of all these difficulties,
there still are some powerful forces
being exerted toward peace, most sig
nificant probably being a serious de-
sire by the rank and file in many
industries for an end to the costly
competition.
This feeling has cropped out, for
instance, within the international
Typographical Union, an organization
still nominally AFFILIATED with the A.
F. of L., but whose president, Charles
Howard, is secretary OF the c. I. o.
1t is understood to exist, also. within
the ranks of the Amalgamated Cloth
ing Workers and the Ladies' Garment
Workers, two c. I. o. afiliates which
have shared a considerable part of
the cost of the c. /. o. growth.
That reports that these two unions
were on the verge of deserting the
c. I. o. is mostly wishful thinking
by those who spread them seems ap-
parent, however, from the vehement
verbal pledges of support for the c.
l. o. movement and its policies given
at Atlantic City by their respective
presidents, Sidney Hillman and David
Dubinsky.
. Not far in the background Of the
pressure-for- peace department is the
Federal Government. Already the
President. the National Labor Rela-
tions Board, the Labor Department,
the Commerce Department. the Mari
time Commission and other agencies
have been embarrassed by charges of
partiality or demands for support In
the factional strife Reconciliation
would end much Of this embarrass-
ment.
Standing close by, too, are industry
and the great unorganized masses Of
labor, neutral in some instances and
violently partisan in others.

Acting or the eve of q peace con-

the 200 members OF Evening Star
Chapel, Columbia 10l, international
Typographical Union, yesterday
threatened to seek new labor lead

to settle the differences between the
two labor groups.
The action OF the local union was
in line with a stand taken early last
week by printers in Amarillo, Tex.
The text of the resolution adopted by
The Star Chapel, copies of which
have been sent to William Green,
president Of the A. F. Of L., and John
L. Lewis, c. I. o. chieftain, follows:
I'VE, the 200 members of Evening
Star Chapel, Columbia 101, Inter-

that it is necessary for the leaders
of the A. F. of L. and the c. I. O.
to reach an amicable agreement. We
therefore respectfully demand that
every effort be put forth for set
tlement Or we shall seek new labor
leadership"
Columbia 101, more than 100 years
old, is said to be the Oldest continu-
Gus local printers union in existence.

trial chapel here with the exception
of the Government Printing Office
