GARNISHEE LAW WITH TEETH IS RETAILERS' AIM Present Frail One in Need of Strengthening, View of Merchants. Business men of the city hope to see action by the legislature now in session that will strengthen the garnishee law, giving more protection to the creditor, and at the same time safeguard the honest debtor. The present law has been ruled unconstitutional by two judges here and others have stated that they do not enforce it, though they have not as yet decided it is unconstitutional. "We must have some sort of garnishee law,” declared a downtown merchant today. "Without it, we are the prey of dead beats. But the present law is too frail, though it was the best we could get after years of fighting. We are utterly opposed to the killing of even this law, however. We want a better law, with teeth in it. One of the most prominent of local manufacturing establishments, employing a large number of young men and women, has taken the initiative with a “test case” in the two municipal courts. Money Held by Company As the first step in the case, the employer deducted 10 per cent weekly from pay of a young woman who was garnisheed, but did not make payment to the sheriff's office. All demands for payment were refused, in an effort to force the issue. Asa result, the creditor took recourse in the manner provided by statute and instituted a civil suit for the money, which, from the original account of $31.29, had been swelled to SSO, because of court costs and attorney’s fees. The suit was filed in municipal court two before Judge Dan V. White in September. Because it was recognized as a test case, it has attracted attention among members of the bar and others interested in the garnishee law. In view of the general interest and the importance attached to the case, it was agreed that Judge Thomas E. Garvin, in municipal court one, should hear the proceedings jointly with Judge White. Floyd W. Burns, associated with the law firm of Bamberger & Feibleman, counsel for the* manufacturing concern, argued apainst constitutionality of the laW in the hearing several weeks ago. William S. McMaster, counsel, w r hose arguments had been upheld in superior court rulings, aided in presentation of the case.

Decision Expected Soon It is understood that the two judges will give their ruling within the next week. If the municipal courts concur in the opinions of Superior Judges Russell J. Ryan and Clarence E. Weir, only the justice of peace courts will remain for obtaining garnishee orders. Temporarily, at least, debtors have been relieved from garnishment through municipal courts by mutual agreement, the judges have refrained from issuing garnishee orders pending their decision. In the case of orders obtained before the hearing, there has been no cessation in the weekly deductions, but here again, some employers have arisen to the assistance of their employes. Under arrangement with the sheriff's office, payments have not been made on garnishments, although the weekly deductions are made. The employers are holding the payments in special funds, awaiting decision of the court. If a way is shown, the funds will be available for restoration to the employes. Opinions differ among attorneys as to solution of the problem created by the garnishee law, although, regardless of opinion, they agree that change is necessary. They are looking to the present session of the general assembly for relief.

HALF WORKERS’ WAGE IN CAPITAL PAYS RENT Report Made to Senate In Attempt to Slash Charges. H;i Scripps-ll oxcard Xnrupapcr Alliance WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.—Rents which take more than half the wages of families of working people Were reported to the senate today as "average samples” in parts of the District of Columbia. The report was a survey by a Tenants’ League of two blocks inhabited largely by the poorer working classes, residents of 160 homes being interviewed. One block was largely white, the other mostly Negroes. The report was made to the District of Columbia committee of the senate to stimulate an effort at rent reduction. The average rent per home has •■dropped in the last year from $34.52 to $33.84 —less than 2 per cent —while the total wages per dwelling dropped more than 30 per cent, the report stated. The average dwelling, many of them housing persons from more than one family, received $65.28 a month in wages to its inhabitants. As the average number in each dwelling was six, the wage payments per person were only $10.86. The average rent charged per person was $5.63. Charity aid was being given in nearly one-fifth of the 160 homes. Many persons reported they were one or more months behind in their rent, and 17 per cent of those interviewed on this point said they had been threatened with eviction at least once while living in their present dwelling.

ACT TO MEnGE 2 CITY UNITS Park, Recreation Boards May Be Combined by Assembly Action. Approval has been given by city park and recreation boards to a proposal of A. C. Sallee, superintendent of parks, that the two departments be combined under one budget in interests of “greater economy and efficiency in administration. Bill providing for the plan will be introduced in the legislature. Recreation department now is controlled by park commissioners, but a law, adopted in 1919, requires that it have a separate levy of not less than 1 cent nor more than 2 cents. The statute also requires a 5 to 9-cent levy for operation of the park department. Sallee, in a letter to the board, pointed out that “under the present arrangements, it is necessary to keep two seta of pay rolls. In developing new and maintaining old playgrounds. baseball diamonds, tennis courts, swimming pools, taking care of community houses, it often is necessary to use park employes, material and equipment on recreation work because of lack of funds in the recreation budget,” Sallee pointed out. He declared that “this proposed change is in line with the economy program of Mayor Sullivan and the board of park commissioners. I do not anticipate serious objection to the proposal,” he wrote.

The plume of the snowy heron not only was a costly thing for the milliner, but for the birds as well. The demand for the plumes, as decorations for women’s hats, depicted the ranks of the herons almost to extinction. Since the plumes were grown only by the mother birds, and then only during the bredeing season, hunters shot them as they sat on their nests. This meant double destruction . . . sacrifice of the parent, while the young were left to starve. NEXT—Where did the word “boycott” originate?

(Iggy) Varecha, 17-year-old killer. “I am interested in this boy as I am interested in all unfortunate boys who fall into the hands of the court through some act of their own or otherwise," he said. Darrow recently won from the su* preme court a third trial for Russell McWilliams, who at 17 killed a Rockford street car motorman in an attempted holdup, after McWilliams twice had been sentenced to death. Varecha. who killed Frank Jordan in a holdup, also faces the death penalty. Judge John Prvtalski allowed thirty days for an appeal Thursdayafter reaffirming Varecha's sentence which Darrow attacked on the ground the youth Is a ‘defective, a moron and feeble-minded.”
