be closely and clearly defined, since
1t is an exception to the great prin-
cipale that trial by jury is essential
to due process of law.
A famous case, Fisher versuse
Pace, was decided by the Supreme
Court early this year. Five of the
justices upheld a Texas Judge who
convicted a lawyer for contemptu-

for contempt in open court must
be narrowly confined, lest it be-

Westinghouse Head
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

PITTSBURGH. April 20.-West-
inghouse Electric Corp. stockhold-
ers met in q production aisle amid
the bang and clatter Of workmen's
hammers and drills today and
heard . comparatively optimistic
prediction Of business for 1s49.
More than 400 stockholders at
tended the session at the corpora
tion's big East Pittsburgh works.
1t was the first time the company
had brought its shareholders into
a production area for their annual
meeting.
Gwilym A. Price. Westinghouse
president, said there are indica-
tions the total volume OF the Ma
tion's business for 1s49 may not be
too far below the peacetime record
Of 1s4s."
Despite declining orders" he
said, there are convincing rea-
sons to expect the market for
capital goods to hold this year at
q physical volume about double
the average for the years 1888
through 1889. Even this lower
level Of operations provides . solid
base for continued prosperity
assuming only that 1t is not de-
stroyed by Government policies
thwarting private business and
private investment"
Mr.. Price disclosed net income
for the first three months OF ls4s
was Sl0,S66 .921 compared with
Sl3 .l35, ,7sS in the first quarter OF
le4S. unified orders on hand
March 81 totaled $642. .035, $40 a.
