Columbus, o. (OLNS).-A meas
ure proposing to give the Ohio High
way Patrol full police powers, one of
three introduced in the Ninety Third
General Assembly, was fought to a
temporary standstill in the high
ways committee of the House of
Representatives last week by the OBJ
jections of labor spokesman.
Sponsored by Representative Ben
jamin F. Reading of Lucas County,
the measure contains no provisions
for the exclusion of the proposed
state police force from participation
in labor disputes. 1t is identified as
House Bill No. 462.
President Michael j. Lyden of the
Ohio State Federation of Labor told
the committee that the measure was
a svicious piece of legislation" and
that labor was unalterably opposed
to it. His objections were echoed by
Frank Snyder, representing the
American Federation of State, County
and Municipal Employees.
In answer to question by Repre-
sentative Reading, who asked how
labor was involved or affected by the
bill to the extent that it should op-
pose it's enactment, Thomas j. Don
nelly, secretary treasurer of the Ohio
State Federation of Labor, declared:
sThe rights of the people | repre-
sent are involved. We do not pro-
pose to have our people dubbed over
the head by persons who are not re-
sponsible to local authority"
Secretary Donnelly advised Repre-.
sentative Cyril R. Culp, also of Lucas
County, who claimed to be member
Of organized labor, to read the his.
tory of constabularies in other states
to realize the danger of a state police
system to Ohio labor.
J. Russell Lloyd, representing the
Ohio State Automobile Association
also appeared in opposition to thu
measure.
Colonel Lynn Black, superintend
ent of the highway patrol, appeared
before the committee as neutra
speaker. He stated that the traffic
enforcement work of the highway pa
troll would be cut in half if the bill
was enacted into law, and pointed t.

GUILD TRIES TO
GET CASE into
u. S. COURTS
By JOSEPH A. WISE

Chicago (ILNS). - Ben Meyers,
Chicago attorney for the American
Newspaper Guild, has succeeded again
in making that organization appear
ridiculous by his antics.
He went before Superior Judge
Grover C. Niemeyer, who had granted
temporary injunction against the
guild, and put up an argument to have
the case transferred to the United
States District Court.
Edward G. Woods, opposing coun-
sci, argued that there was nothing
IN the case warranting such pro-
cedure. There were no elements of
federal law involved, he said.
Seeks To Involve Uncle Sam
Judge Niemeyer denied the motion
of the guild attorney.
Meyers makes every effort to in
volve the federal government in no
end of trouble and expense.
He put Uncle Sam to the needless
expense of holding nine weeks of
worthless hearings by the National
Labor Relations Board at Chicago.
'No SOAP" Then he filed an appeal
for a hearing before the board at
Washington.
On top of all of that he is again
asking the La Toilette Civil Liberties
Committee of the United States Sen
ate to come to Chicago and investi-
gate.
Thinks Sans Money Comes Easy
The young and inexperienced but
busy Mr.. Meyers seems to think that
Uncle Sam picks his money off trees.
Meyers is receiving his pay out of
contributions of money sent to Chi
cago by well-meaning but deluded
and deceived trade unionists residing
at distant points in the United States,
and from a few Communists in Chi
cago, as all of the Red brethren rec
ognize the guild effort as in the in
terest of the advancement of "der
tag"

work of the patrol in that respect,
work which he believed should not
be curtailed.
Walter F. Kirk appeared before
the committee as proponent of the
bill in behalf Of the Ohio State Grange
and the Ohio Farm Bureau. He told
the committee state police system
would provide better protection for
rural areas. The bill was also sup
ported by George J. O'Brien, repre-
senting the Ohio Chamber of Com
merce.
Representative William F. Eirick,
Cleveland, member of the commit
tee, declared that the measure was a
violation of solemn promise made
when the highway patrol was created
that the power of the patrol would
never be increased.
Representative Herman E. Werner,
Akron, also a member of the COM
mittee, said the promises of previous
legislatures were not binding upon
the present General Assembly, and
strongly urged approval of the bill.
Following lengthy debate, a mo-
tion was made by Representative
Culp to report the bill favorably for
passage by the House, but the motion
was lost by vote of eight to eight.
Voting for the approval of the bill
were Representatives Austin j. Bow
ser, Montg emery County; w. D. Bur-
gett, Ashtabula; J. F. Church, Ash
land; Cyril R. Culp, Lucas; Ray B.
Huston, Henry; Walter L. Tarr, Ham

Opposing were Representatives

Kirkpatrick, Licking; Cloyd L. Bar
ricklow, Belmont; William Glass, Ma
honing; H. L. Mason, Wyandot, and

County.
A motion was then made and car
ried to postpone further hearing on
the bill until this week.

Columbus, Ohio. - Governor John
w. Bricker on March 2 completed
the reorganization of the top admin
istration of the unemployment COM
pensation law, made possible by
ripper bill enacted as an emergency
measure by the Ninety Third General
Assembly, and the new administrator
and three-member board of review of
the Bureau of Unemployment Com
pensation replaced the commission
on March 3.
For the $500 four-year job of ad-
ministrator, Governor Bricker selected
Herschel c. Atkinson, 36-year-old ex-
ecutive manager of the Akron Cham
ber of Commerce, a former news
paperman and executive.
William T. Roberts, Bridgeport, la
Dor representative on the commission,
was reappointed to the board of re-
view for two-year term, and Walter
j. Mackey, employer representative
on the commission, was reappointed
to a four-year term on the board.
Werner E. Metcalf, Marietta, Re-
publican floor leader in the Senate of
the Ninety-Second General Assembly
and unsuccessful candidate for the
Republican nomination for attorney
general in the 1888 primaries, was
appointed to represent the public on
the board Of review. He was named

ceive $4,000 per year.
All appointees were confirmed by

Governor Bricker last Friday an
nounced that appointments to the
seven-member advisory council will
be made this week, but did not indi-
cate whom he was considering. Coun-
Gil members are paid $40 per day
when attending sessions, but not to
exceed $4,000 per year.
Questioned by newspapermen con-
corning reorganization of the per.
sonnel of the bureau, Governor
Bricker said that, following a com
plete survey, any changes thought
necessary would be made under the
theory that the enactment of the rip
per legislation was the enactment OF
a new law, and changes in personne
and key positions could be made or

ing the practice of dismissing suits
at the close of business each day
when both parties fail to appear
Judge Aukam explained that the
new rules will permit the court to
return the case to the files for fur
ther proceedings on a later date.
The judges also have decided to
change the work to be handled later
in the day by the judge who sits in
the landlord and tenant branch
The judge in this branch will take
over the small claims branch and
thus half hour more time will be
available for handling work in the
landlord and tenant branch. Court
will open at $50 o'clock and run
until 1890. when the judge will go
to small claims. Heretofore, only
half an hour has been devoted to
landlord and tenant
A proposal to hold landlord and
tenant sessions later in the day was
not adopted. Judge Raedy pointed
out that the most convenient time

part of these litigants, is in the
morning, Immediately after the
children have been gotten of to

In the matter of fees, the Judges
took no action. 1t was pointed out
that a reduction in the cost of bring

However, if further reduction can
be effected later, when operating

Charles O'Connell, who started
out as music critic and wound up
with a baton in his hand, is still
critic at heart. Currently he is dis
pleased at the way Americans treat
their own composers.
The tall, 39-year-old conductor,
was relaxing comfortably in an easy
chair during an interview at the
Raleigh Hotel yesterday until the
conversation shifted to native COM
posers and why American orchestras
neglect them so.
You'd think their music isn't
good" he stormed. Why, American
composers are turning out some of
the best music of the day.
Take George Whitfield Chad
wick's Jubilee for example" he
continued. There's a number that
has practically everything. It's beau
tiful, gay, melodious And yet or
chestras don't seem to find time to
play it very much.

rope with a big name on it we'd
think it was wonderful and we'd

men working to convert the project

K. Vanderbilt began drilling nearly
sc years ago and killed four men,
three instantly.
The fourth lay for more than an
hour with an arm crushed under
the terrific weight of the stone be-
fore a physician arrived from this
Western Pennsylvania mountain
town Is miles to the east.
Dies on Way to Hospital.
The physician amputated his arm,
but the victim, 33-year-old William
Leach of nearby Boswell, died en-
route to hospital. Meeting a priest
the ambulance driver stopped and
the last rites of the Catholic Church
were administered to Leach by the
roadside.
Killed instantly were Walter B.
Daley, %, of Langloth, Pa, and Olaf
K. Schooling, Is, and Leonard An
derson, 26, both of near here.
A fifth man, Supt. AL Huntingdon,
escaped death when he heard the
rumbling of the rock fall and leaped
aside. He shouted warning to the
others, but they could not hear.
An official of the construction
company, who declined use of his
name, charged the project was "un-
safe" and blamed the accident on
"haggling' by the Pennsylvania
Turnpike Commission over the type
OF reinforcement to be used.

Raedy. will benefit those litigants
who have good grounds for defense,
yet are without funds to employ
counsel.
Movement Begun in 1888.
1t will be another experiment in
simpliflcation of justice, in keeping
with a movement launched here in
April. 1898, with the opening of
Small Claims Court. Now in oper-
alton for more than a year, this
branch of Municipal Court was
established as tribunal where per-
sons who cannot afford lawyers
can obtain prompt and inexpensive
trial.
The Landlord and Tenant Branch
may profit by the manner in which
Small Claims Court has been con-
Quoted. For a similar technique will
be followed in the branch where
both hometown and renters go to
settle their troubles.
Changes in procedure were de-
cided on at a recent meeting of
judges following a conference with
a committee from the Housing As
ISOLATION, the membership of which
included j. Bernard Wyckoff, Law
renee F. Schmeckebier and Seton
Darf.
In Keeping With Rules.
Adjustment of the terms of court
is in keeping with new rules of Fed
eral civil procedure. Heretofore, ex-
piration of the term took away a
judges power to take any proceed
ing in any action pending in the
branch. The effect of the new rule
is to hold the term of court open
when a defendant may have a good
ground of defense and a valid reason
for not having asserted it on the re-
turn day. Only in cases of fraud
or clerical error could the judge take
action under the old setup.
Doing away with the necessity of
filing any answer, plea, affidavit, or
other defense in writing will be a
long step toward simplification.
Under the new procedure. judges
will make a special effort to settle
controversies by Cancellation prior
to trials. The court will hear an
informal statement as to the nature
of the defense and attempt to in
duce parties to settle differences
without trial. This technique, the
Housing Committee explained, is
