Meanwhile, the Government to-
day won a major victory in District
Court, when Justice Jennings Bailey
held that the courts lacked power to
grant relief to firms blacklisted un-
der the Walsh Healy Act, governing
wages and hours of firms doing pub
lie business.
The Lane Cotton Mills Co. of New
Orleans, which supplies millions of
yards of fabrics to the armed forces
of the Nation annually. sought an
injunction. This, Justice Bailey re-
fused to grant. Secretary of Labor
Perkins had barred the firm from
receiving Government orders for
three years on charges Of violating
the statute by failing to pay over
time to it's workers and by employ
ing child labor.
Secretary Perkins, after extended
hearings, placed the Lane Cotton
Mills Co. on a Government black
list and fined it $42 000-s29 900 of
this being scheduled for employees
who had accumulated overtime and
the balance a fine for employing
child labor at the rate of $40 a day
per child.
Representing Secretary Perkins

Assistant to the Attorney General

Mr. Elliotts ruling adds another
chapter to a controversy that has
ragged since the Defense Commits
sion's enunciation of labor policy
was followed by an opinion of At
torney General jackson which held
in effect that a firm adjudged by
the Labor Board in violation OF the
Labor Act should be held to be
guilty until the board finding was
reversed by a court.
When the Smith House committee
held brief investigation of this
situation to determine what effect
the Defense Commissions policy
would have on contracts, Assistant
Secretary of War Patterson said
that the restrictions could be ap-
piled when contracts were awarded
without bids, but that ii was not be-
lieved that the laws governing COM
petitive bidding would permit the
injection of labor law compliance.

Of the fact that it was generally
understood officials resigning to en-
ter political campaigns would not
be considered eligible for reap
pointment. In his case. however,
reappointment was recommended
by Senator Truman, Democrat, of
Missouri, victor in the primary, and
Senator Clark, Democrat, of Mis-
souri,, and the nomination was ap-
proved unanimously by the Senate
when Senator Hatch, Democrat, of
New Mexico, author of the Hatch
Act, vigorously supported the ap-
pointment and said it was entirely
proper.
When Mr.. Milligan's assignment
to the election inquiry was made
known Chairman Gillette said the
Senate Campaign Expenditures
Committee would Cooperate in
every way" with him.
Senator Gillette said, however,
the committees field of Investigation
was much wider than that of the
Justice Department because the
committee was authorized to investi-
gate election abuses, and recommend
remedial legislation, even if no law
was being violated.
The committee thus far has found
no case, Senator Gilletet said, in
which charges have warranted
further investigation and possible
prosecution by the Justice Depart
ment, although it has turned evi-
dence to State authorities in some
instances.
The Senator said he had arranged

have followed political sentimen.
among the Iowa farmers, the farmers
in this State are swinging back to
old Republican moorings for two
principal reasons. The first is the
hatred farmers have for debt. The
size of the Roosevelt public debt
may not mean anything to city
dwellers-it gets right under the
skin of these farmers. The second
reason is that the farmers have
about made up their minds that the
farm aid program of the Govern
ment will go right ahead under a
Willkie administration and some of
them think it may be improved Mr.
Willkie has said he would continue
the program and work to better it
and he has as his running mate
Charlie" McNary, known for years
as the farmers friend, co-author with
the late Representative Haugen of
Iowa of the original McNary- Haugen
bill, designed to help the farmers
way back in the days of the Coolidge
administration.
The farmers. it is said, are not
worrying much over the third-term
issue, although it is having come
effect.
The war situation, on the other
hand, is believed up to now to be
working for President Roosevelt in
this State. Here and there the feel
ing is found that he is taking this
country eventually into war, and
where that feeling exists the Presi-
dent is losing ground. Take it by
and large, however, the cry that the
President is needed to handle for
eign affairs because of his expert
ence is still potent
The city and town vote will have,
of course, great bearing on the out
come of the election. But even in
1886, when Roosevelt was rolling up
61.4 per cent of the farm vote, he
had only 564 per cent of the city
vote, which shows how the towns
and cities stick to the G.. o. P. in
this State, comparatively speaking.
In 1882 the President had only
53.5 per cent Of the city vote and
702 per cent of the farm vote.
The Republicans have control of
the courthouse rings" and they
have the State government this
year. Many more of the business
people are supporting Mr.. Willkie
than supported Mr.. Landon. 1t all
adds up to the fact that Mr.. Roose-
welt has a fight on his hands in
Iowa, Notwithstanding his running
mate Is q native son.

A resolution urging that immediate

Managers Association of the District
at the last meeting held in the AM
bassador Hotel. Funds to purchase
site for the incinerator were ap-

were deleted by the House Appro-
priations Committee. The associa-
ton will endeavor to have the sum
restored by the Senate so that by

D. c. May Move Up
In Runkinq of Cities

Launching of the 1910 census has
brought to the front the possibility
of important changes In the relative
population standings of the big
cities.
According to Samuel S. Spruce,
who for a number of years has been
a close student of Washington's de-
velopment, the National Capital
stands q very good chance Of NOV
ing up two places or three in the
population table. Instead Of being
in fourteenth place as it was in 1899,
Washington may move up into
twelfth or possibly eleventh place,
Mr.. Spruce said.
"The census of 1880 gave WASH
ington population of 486,869," he
pointed out. I'm the same census
the four cities Immediately ahead
of us were Buffalo, Milwaukee, San
Francisco and Pittsburgh. Their
1880 populations were: Buffalo,
573,076; Milwaukee, 578,249; San
Francisco, 634, 1894, and Pittsburgh,
669,817. On July l., 1887, the Gen.
sus Bureau estimated the population
of Washington as 627,000. This was
an increase of 141 900 in seven years
or an average of about 10000 per
year."

Building Associations
Finance 40% Of
Homes in Is States
Bulk Of People Live
In Small Towns,
Rother Than Big Cities

With but two exceptions the
States where savings, building and
loan associations did the bulk of the
home financing last year are those
where most of the people live in
small cities and towns rather than
in metropolises, the United States
Savings and Loan League reports.
Analysing State by State the figures
on mortgage recordings from the
Federal Home Loan Bank Board,
the savings and loan organization
finds that 16 States and the District
of Columbia depended on the thrift
and home financing institutions for
more than 40 per cent of their home
loans in 1899.
ITO find out why the greatest de-
pendence on these specialized insti-
tutions with their long experience
In financing homes was where it
was, the league examined the kind
of States where this type of financ-
ing was dominant" said Paul Endi-
colt, Pomona, Calf, chairman of
the leagues Home Building and
Home Owning Committee. Their
variety was great, ranging all the
way from Maine and Massachusetts,,
where savings and loan and CO.
operative banking are more than rs
years old, to the wide plains of Mon
tana, where this business is just
turned SO years old There seems
to be no common denominator for
the areas which use these institu-
tions most except the general dis
tribution of their population in
small municipalities, rather than
concentration of people in cities
of great size
District Is Exception.
Maryland is the only exception to
the rule, in addition to the District
of Columbia. Majority of the popu-
lation in Maryland lives in Balti-
more, but savings, building and loan
is the source of as per cent of the
home mortgage funds of the State.
That is because there is an unusually
high per capita of building and loan
assets in Baltimore. The same is
true in Washington, Mr.. Endicott
said.
These II States where the chief
dependence for home financing was
on savings and loan were the scene
of the recording of $1,118,119,000 of
the total S3,765 ,595 900 home mort
gage loans. which are estimated to
have been recorded in all the States
by all mortgages last year.
Mr. Endicott said that some of
the areas in which savings and loan
is the dominant leader today are
the result of concentrated effort Of
the last few years to inform the
public Of savings and loan services.
Others are inheritors of long ira
dition of taking this institution for
granted as the place to 60 for home
mortgage money.
