New Hobeos Corpus
Ruling Is Adopted

District Court has adopted a new
program, requiring that petitions for
habeas corpus, arising from criminal
matters, will have to be heard before
justice sitting on the bench of one
of the Criminal Courts Hitherto,
any justice-either in the civil or
criminal division-was likely to be
called upon to decide a habeas
corpus.
While no official general term
order has been published concerning
the new policy, it is understood that
it was brought about by one of the
justices, sitting in the civil division,
passing on habeas corpus petition,
when all the information relating
to the criminal aspects of the case
were not before him.

the intent of Congress to effect
better labor relations, and whether
changes in the Labor Board per-
