Tri-board Session
AtCo|umbia Hospital
Reviews Activities /
First Joint Meeting
Weighs Accomplishments
Of Past Year

Meeting In joint session for the
first time, the three boards Concerned
with management of Columbia Hos
pital reviewed their activities of the
past year yesterday afternoon in the
nurses home of the hospital. The
session was arranged to acquaint
the Board of Directors. Women's
Board and Medical Board with work
of their associate bodies.
Capt. Chester Wells, president of
the Board of Directors, said the in
stitution had a most successful year
both financially and from the stand
point of service rendered.
In reading his annual report, Capt.
Wells pointed out that the board had
been unable to obtain a deficiency
appropriation from Congress to re-
imburse the hospital for the cost of
oil burners installed during 1898, but
said that efforts to procure a 100000
item for this purpose would be con-
tinued.
DR.. Jerome F. Crowley, president
of the Medical Board. told the meet
ing that it need not fear depletion
of revenue from private patients
upon completion of the Doctors
Hospital. DR.. Crowley explained
that most private patients were those
of physicians attached to Columbia
and that a few relatively inexpensive
improvements would be sufficient to
counteract any inclination of such
physicians to favor the new institu-
tioh.
Mrs. D. Lawrence Groner, presi-
dent of the Women's Board, re-
viewed the efforts of her group to
improve the appointments of the
hospital building and announced
that it was now receiving the second
largest share of Thrift Shop pro-
ceeds.
Col. P. NJ Ashburn, superintendent
of the hospital, told the boards that
study was being made of the rela-
tive desirablities and costs of several
types of incubators.
Since the joint session was in
tended as informative only. no
formal action was taken on institu-
ton matters, but it was understood
that the tri-board meeting would be
made an annual affair.

Last Libel Case Against
6. h. Carter Dismissed

The last Of the libel cases against
George H. Carter, the former public
printer, was dismissed yesterday In
District Court by agreement Of
counsel, Assistant United States At
torney Allen j. Krouse, announced.
In March, 1885, James E. Rennie,
who lived in the 1900 block Of Ken
yon street NV, brought suit for
$4,000 against Mr.. Carter, on the
ground Of libel, claiming that the
official had written a defamatory
letter to the personnel Of the office,
as the outgrowth of a voting con-
test conducted by a local newspaper
columnist, on whether the then
administration of the Government
Printing Office should be changed.
Mr.. Rennie contended that he had
nothing to do with this poll and
that Mr.. Carter wrote the objec-
tionable letter in March, 1884, to the
Government Printing ONCE en-
ployes and had it posted about the
building, including the cafeteria, in
which Mr.. Rennie was named among
others.
Mr.. Rennie, who was a proof
reader, and some of his fellow en-
ployes brought separate libel suits
against Mr.. Carter. Mr.. Krouse re-
called today that Frank S. Lerch,
printer, who sued Mr.. Carter for
$4,000 libel, last March lost his
suit before Justice Oscar r. Luhring
in District Court. A directed verdict
for the Government was given,
after Mr.. Krouse cited a number of
Federal cases, designed to show that
a public officer is not answerable in
damages for anything done In the
course of his official duties.

A. F. of L. May See New
Qpportunities at Meeting

The sharp break in the leadership
Of the C. I. o. auto workers union
may provide American Federation
of Labor leaders meeting next week
in Miami, Fla, with new oppor-
tunity to resurvey the changing
labor scene.
The meeting will bring together
members Of the A. F. of L. executive
council, headed by President VIII
liam Green, and numerous union Of
f1cials concerned either with legis-
lation or jurisdictional disputes.
One well-informed source said
there had been some occasional in
formal conferences with representa-
tives Of the United Automobile
Workers Union, but that there was
little likelihood the Federation
would try to set up an auto workers
union at this time.
The c. I. o. auto workers unior,
originally was chartered as an in
dustrial union by the A. F. of L., but
after the labor movement split on
the issue Of craft against industrial
unionism the auto workers went
over to g. I. O.

frankly said he disagreed with
counsel.
Concerning the allegation by de-
fense counsel, however, that the
Government representatives had
"harrangued" the grand jury, JUS
tice Proctor said that this would
be an entirely different matter.
Mr.. Richardson. in explaining to
the court that defendants given a
right under the law to file a plea
in abatement were required to sub
init specific evidence in support
thereof, declared that the secrecy
now surrounding the jurors placed
the defendants in difficult position.
The grand jury, Mr.. Richardson
said, during the trial had been
"thronged by long-nosed busy
bodies on the Streets" who submit
ted all kinds Of material to them
concerning the health situation in
many parts of the United States.
The grand jury was known to have
been presented evidence in this case
from Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Ok
lahoma, Illinois and other places,
Mr.. Richardson said, concerning
matters happening long after" the
conspiracy alleged against organ
lied medicine to violate the Anti
trust Act.
Wish to Attack Evidence.
The doctors desired to attack the
competency Of such evidence, he in
dicated.
The indictment in the case, re-
turned late in December by the
grand jury, charged four bodies of
organized medicine and 81 promi-
nent doctors with combination and
conspiracy" in restraint of trade,
through their alleged tactics against
Group Health Association of this
city.
When Mr.. Richardson supposed"
that the Government counsel may
have told the grand jury that the
medical profession constituted a
trade within the meaning of the
act, and that this would be objected
to by the defendants, Justice Proc
tor replied that this was one of the
bases upon which the indictment
was founded. Justice Proctor indi-
Gated to defense counsel that, in
stead OF attempting plea in abate-
ment, they had better file a de-
murrer. To this suggestion Mr..
Richardson objected, contending the
plea IN abatement was the only legal
approach to the question now in is
sue.

away from it another powerful
union"
Mr.. Martin, emphasizing an ap-
parently hopeless breach between
himself and the c. I. o. leadership
and a possible secession by his fac
ton, went on:
THE International Ladies Gar
ment Workers Union left the G. I. O.
because it, as democratic union,
could not tolerate the dictatorship
over labor which the c. I. o. pro-
posed and sought to carry out. Mr.
Lewis will find - that the Ameri-
can workers will not readily accept
his Dictates
Observers said an alliance might
be formed between Mr.. Martins ad-
herents and the garment workers
union.
A new development incidental to
the U. A. WIS internal fracas was a
statement by Harry Bennett, person.
mel director of the Ford Motor Co.,
indicating the unions turmoil
harmed any chances for it to ar
range a pact with Ford.
Organization of Ford workers has
been major goal of the U. A. w.
Mr.. Martins foes have accused him
Of "conspiring" to form a company
dominated" Ford union during con-
ferences with Mr.. Bennett.
Bennett, pointing out the U. A. w.
had been free to organize Ford
workers, said the anti-Martin boards
action in Investigating Mr.. Mar
tins conferences with me puts me in
a position where I can't talk to any
union organizer.
If I confer with a labor leader
his followers will only call it con-
spiracy, anyway, so what is the use
of my talking to them?" Mr.. Ben

disclose to him, in violation of their
oaths and of the charge of this
court as above set forth. the reasons
which actuated the grand Jury in
voting for an indictment.
"One grand juror" continued the
Department of Justice, having been
approached In the foregoing man
ner by the said defendant and there
after in the same manner by two
other doctors, complained to the
Department of Justice that such
visits by and on behalf of defendants
were interfering with the conduct of
his business and asked protection
against further harassment."
Doctors Counsel Resents Claim.
Charles S. Baker, counsel for the
| Medical Society of the District, In
arguing that Justice Proctor had the
right entirely to lift the veil of
secrecy, referred to the case of a
doctor faced with a jury-tampering
charge and declared:
Il resent the implication Of jurors
being harrassed or hampered" He
said that counsel for the defendant
doctors had told the doctors that
IF member of a jury wants to
talk there is no rule in law to pre-
vent it," Since that time, he added,
I'VE have been warned that no one
can tamper with the grand jury in
the face of contempt of court"
Quoting from a decision of the
Supreme Court of the United States,
Mr.. Baker insisted that there is no
question about the right of grand
jurors to speak their minds volun-
tarily, or the right of defendants
to interrogate them
|, "Not Robbery"
Taking exception to some citations
of authority by Government coun-
sci, Mr.. Baker insisted that I'VE
are not dealing with a murder or
a robbery. We are dealing with a
situation difficult of explanation.
Government counsel in its zeal may
have gone beyond the limits of pro-
priety."
In summing up, Mr.. Baker asked
for relief from the present injunc-
ton against interrogating the grand
jury and insisted the court had dis
cretion in the matter.
Douglas B. Maggs, who argued the
Governments case, declared that
one of the reasons for secrecy after
the return of an indictment was
to prevent "harassment such as
that to which one ex-juror has
already been subjected"
Proctor Disagrees:
The defense counsel insisted that
the Government representatives had
no right to instruct the jury re-
garding the law in the case.
