vanced him the credit and Mr..
Thomas returned to Texas. BY 1896

Federal Court Refuses
To Force Newspaper
To Open Records
Woqe-Hour Unit Denied
Quest for information
In New Jersey
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
NEWARK, N. j., April 3-The
Federal District Court for New Jer-
sey today refused to compel . news
paper to open its records to the
Wage and Hour Bureau on tho
ground the latter was simply in
quest Of information which
might or might not disclose q vio-
lation"
L. Metcalf Walling, Wage and
Hour administrator had subpoenaed
records of the Patterson Evening
News and Harry B. Haines, presi-
dent of the publication, had refused
to give the books to inspectors on
the ground the Federal statute did
not apply to the newspaper or its
| employees.
The administrator insisted, the
court said, that the question of COW
erage was no defense; Congress had
intended him to have full power to
administer the act, with phases OF
administration left to him and not
the courts.
| In denying the Governments re-
quest for show cause order, Judge
Thomas F.. Meaney did not rule on
applicability of the act to the news
paper. saying the administrator has
not had opportunity to argue that
point sufficiently.
In the instant case" Judge
Meaney's opinion said, 'the admin
istrator without complaint and SIM
ply in quest of information upon
which to base proceedings, should
they be justified, issued his subpoena
directing the production of certain
records, the examination of which
might not disclose violation
Desirable as the contribution OF
experts to the Government is, there
is no indication that Congress has
as yet determined to substitute
Government of mere expert opinion
for Government of law.
THE trend and tendency of the
present day is to enlarge the func-
ton of administrative bodies in
order to carry out purposes of social
legislation. Commendable as this is,
the functions of the courts remain,
and those functions are not merely
to act as an adjunct of administra-
tive bodies, but rather in such in
stances as have been categorically
indicated by Congress, to implement
the operations of such bodies"

NEW YORK. April 2e-supplies
Of fuel oil. light and heavy. were
moderately last week,
the first upturn in both categories

these inventories was shown.
Eastern Seaboard finished oil

dangerously low in relation TO

100000 barrels in that period, de-
mand averaged 1856. 900 barrels

JOSTON, April % - Reports

that plans 10 eliminate the ac-
crued dividends on the preferred

The difficulty of evolving a plan
which will satisfy the preferred

stockholders is recognized.
Any plan needs the affirmative
vote Of two-thirds of the common
and two-thirds Of the preferred,
and 10 be successful must COM

large percentage of the preferred

Under the circumstances IL is
improbable even if A feasible and

Sixth Service Command, which
includes Detroit. boasts that its
automobile conservation pro-
gram saved 633 gallons of gas

ton in January.
This is the equivalent Of
9.i95 miles of driving. Maj

Gen. Aurand credits an eff.
