Izaak Walton Chapter
Opposes Conservation Bill

The Silver Spring -Takoma Park
chapter of the Izaak Walton League
of America, through its president,
Charles V. A. Smoot, today voiced
its opposition to the conservation
authorities bill now in Congress.
This bill proposes the establish
ment of eight regional corporate
authorities, patterned after the
Tennessee Valley and the proposed
Arkansas Valley Authorities, to take
possession of our public waters,
manage them and saddle them with
high dam on high DAM" Mr.. Smoot
said. Under its provisions farmer
could not even build a bridge across
his creek, or the urban riparian
owner could not build building or
dock alongside a stream without
first securing a permit to do So"
He added, Nowhere in the bill is
there any recognition whatever of
the public values in water or pro-
vision for protecting them against
exploitation from special utilitarian
uses as outlined in the bill"

New fire engines henceforth will

Appeals Court Takes
Arcade Contempt
Case for Decision
Attorneys Say Laundry
Complied With Order
From Tribunal

The United States Court of Ap-
peals today heard arguments on a
request of the National Labor Rela-
tions Board to hold in contempt of
court the Arcade-Sunshine Laundry
Co., Inc, and Harry Viner, Melvin
Viner, Robert Viner, Leonard Viner,
Carl Linker, Lewis Brisker, Paul
Jackson, Edmond Royal, Rose
Moran, Stanley De Petro. William
Mattingly, Harry T. Sarkin, John
Risher and William Kidwell, its
officers and agents. A decision was
taken under advisement. The case
was heard by Chief Justice D.
Lawrence Groner and Associate
Justices Fred M. Vinson and Henry
w. Edgerton.
The board contends that the
court entered a decree on December
9. 1910, and that the company and
its agents, which has been troubled
recently by labor disputes, had
failed to comply with the court
order.
Contends Order Ignored.
The court directed the company
to cease and desist from discrim-
mating against membership in the
Laundry Workers, Cleaners and
Dyers Union or other labor groups
or interfering with the right to self
organization and ordered that cer-
tain employees be offered reinstate-
ments. The board contends that the
company and its officers failed to
live up to the terms of the order.
Attorneys Edmund M. Toland
Frank Buckley and Alvin L. New
myer, representing the company, told
the court the firm, its officers and
employees concerned in today's hear
ing have complied with the court
order.
Say Decree Was Observed.
They insisted there has been no
violation of the decree and that the
company reinstated the employees as
required and posted the necessary
notices. The attorneys filed a mo-
ton to dismiss the Labor Boards
petition
The laundry firms lawyers as
serted that the company has not
interfered with unionization of the
plant, but said the union itself has
refused to ask for an election, as
provided under the law.

that of 1910, Mr.. Morris expressed
optimism over the prospects for the
two remaining weeks of the roll call.
I'm many respects the Roll Call
this year is most encouraging, he
said Many of the units in this
years effort are we'll ahead of their
previous records and are making
up the Is per cent increase in our
quota for this year. These improve
mentS demonstrate to me that the
people of Washington are sub

which are tagging behind, but

will make up this difference and it

one in the country as welf versed
in treatment of a broken leg as in
the legal ointment for broken
LAWS the distinction held by the
United States Court of Claims,
Seventeenth street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue NV.
Its proficiency in the art of first
aid is due to the alertness of Chief
Justice Richard S. Whaley, 67-year-
old jurist, who got down from his
bench himself and learned how to
bandage a wound and bind frac-
tured limb.
A newspaper article gave him the
idea. 1t told of the Red Cross offer
to instruct the public in first aid,
to send out experts in that field
who would hold classes whenever
sufficient students were assembled,
and the thought came to him that
first aid would be a useful thing for
the personnel of the court to know,
even if bomb never fell on Wash
ington.
q Out of so Join Class
The chief justice dropped a sug-
gestion that it would be nice if the
Court of Claims formed a class.
The idea spread, and 27 out of the
so persons who daily 60 to their
Offices or their jobs at the court
answered the call. In this group
were all of the judges. the COM
miSsioners, the chief clerk, Secre-
taries, stenographers, the chief mes
senger, custodian and other en-
ployes. Six were colored persons
To the first-aid course daily for
20 days they devoted one hour
half of which they took from their
lunch period and half of which the
court allowed them to take from
their scheduled working time
Twenty-Five out of the 27 never
missed class, and these % were
graduated. Among them were the
six colored students, all high in
rating, the lowest with an 85.
The other five potential first aid
ers had been forced, by one thing
or another, to miss phases of the
instruction and, consequently, were
unable to take the final examina-
ton. In this group was the chief
justice, just three lessons short of
his certificate, all because his eyes
went bad on him and the doctor
placed him in dark room for the
duration of the three classes he
missed. When these absences are
made up, which he plans to do soon,
he will be added to the %.

Whaley's preparedness program is
noticeable generally now at the
court. Judges, clerks, stenographers
