warranted litigation or interpose unfounded defenses in the hope of forcing an adjustment which could | not be secured upon the merits. This | situation frequently results in ex- | treme hardships. The small business- | man or the litigant of limited means | labors under a grave and constantly | increasing disadvantage because of his inability to pay the price of justice. Statistical data indicate that in| many districts a disheartening and | unavoidable interval must elapse | between the date that issue is joined | in a pending case and the time | when it can be reached for trial in| due course. These computations do not take into acocunt the delays that occur in the preliminary stages | of litigation the postponements after a case might normally be expected to be heard.

‘Evil

Is Growing’ The evil is a growing one. The business of the courts 1s continually | increasing in volume, importance | and complexity. The average case | load borne by each judge has grown nearly 50 per cent since 1913, when | the District Courts first were organized on their present basis. When | the courts are working under such pressure it 1S inevitable that the character of their work must sffer. | The number of new cases offset | those that are disposed of, SO that | the courts are unable to decrease the enormous back-log of undigest- | ed matters. More than 50.000 pending cases (exclusive of bankruptey | proceedings) overhang the Federal | dockets—a constant menace to the | orderly processes ol justice. When- | ever a single case requires a pro- | tracted trial, the routine business of | the court is further neglected. It is | an intolerable situation and we| should make shift to amend it.

‘MUCH TO BE DONE

Efforts have been made from | time to time to alleviate some of the conditions that contribute to the slow rate of speed with which move through the courts. Congress has recently conthe Supreme Court the rity to prescribe rules of procedure after verdict in criminal ~s and the power to adopt and praccivil actions at law in the district courts. It has provided terms of court in certain places at which Federal courts had not preiously convened. A small number of s have been added from time

United Press DETROIT, Feb. 5.—The complex General Motors strike situation simplified: Q—Who are striking? A— Members of the United Automobile Workers of America are striking against the General Motors Corp. Q—What does the union demand | of General Motors? A—The U. A. W. wants recognition as sole | agent of all the workers in collective bargaining with the company. It wants to bargain for these | points: (1) A 30-hour week of five sixhour days with pay and one-half for overtime; (2) abolition of piece work ; (3) establishment of a minimum pay rate; (4) seniority rights based on length of service; (5) restatement of employees justly discharged’; (6) mutual agreement on production speed; (7) collective bargaining on a nationwide basis rather than with individual plant executives. (These points are subject to change in current conferences between the company and union.) Q—What has G. M. C. offered to the workers? A—The company agreed last month, in return for evacuation of its plants by sit-down | strikers, to bargain with the U. A. W. on the above points. 3. M. C. refused to bargain exelusively with the U. A. W. and offered to meet representatives of the Flint Alliance, a group of Flint business men and nonunion Yorkers. Estimate 100,000 Idle

aggregate over $23,000,000 for the maintenance of the legislative branch of the Government, and over $2,100.000,000 for the permanent agencies of the executive branch, the estimated cost of maintaining the judiciary is only about $6.,500,000. An increase in the judicial personnel, which I earnestly recommend, would result in a hardly perceptable percentage of increase in the total annual budget. This result should not be achieved, however, merely by creating new judicial positions in specific circuits or districts, The reform should be effected on the basis of a consistent

RACKET SOLVED BY ARRESTS, POLICE SAY

With the arrest of three young men, police today claim they have solved a problem which has worried the State Auto License Bureau for some time. What they term a works like this: Petty thieves steal ‘license plates from cars parked along the street. Before the owner can report them stolen, the thieves turn the plates in at the bureau under the owner's name, They receive the rebate payment and are gone with the wind. Arrested and held under $1000 vagrancy bond are: Major Williams, 22, of 1509 E. 25th St.; Richard Coffee, 20, or 2919 Ralston Ave. and Theodore Williams, 19, of 2827 Caroline Ave.

LEGISLATION ESSENTIAL

I append hereto certain statistical information, which will give point to the suggestions I have made. These suggestions are designed to carry forward the program for improving the processes of justice which we have discussed and worked upon since the beginning of your first administration. The time has come when further legislation is essential. To speed justice, to bring it within the reach of every citizen, to free | it of unnecessary entanglements and delays are primary obligations of our Government. Respectfully submitted, Homer S. Cummings, Attorney General.

THIS WAY—Asking Your Doctor About Home Remedies You Use?

Child

Practically every mother knows the physician's rule. Don’t give your child unknown remedies without asking your doctor first. Children’s specialists give this warning continually. And educators and writers on child welfare repeat it everywhere. When it comes to the widely used children’s remedy — “milk of magnesia” — many doctors for over half a century have said “PHILLIPS.” For Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia is the standard of the world. Safe for children. Made by an original process in a laboratory devoted solely to making this important remedy; there is no other quite like it.” Keep this in mind, and say “PHILLIPS® MILK OF MAGNESIA” when vou buy. Comes now, also in tablet form. Tablets that taste like peppermint candy, and that contain the equivalent of the liquid Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia. Get the form you prefer.

kins for post-graduate medical work and there he began getting the breaks. The great Osler, under whom he was studying, called him one day and gave him an assignment that filled him with trepidation. He was to take charge of Postmaster General Payne — this was in 1903—take him to Florida, and try to put him on his feet again. Payne was suffering from nervous breakdown and was barely

| able to walk.

Grayson worked at the job with endless thought and care, and six weeks later he had the Postmaster General back in Washington, fit and well. In 1928 he retired from the Navy, which he had served, all during his Washington years at the Naval Dispensary and Hospital. He was still a young man and he entered private practice here, further extending the long line of prominent men whose health he had guarded. Franklin D. Roosevelt made him head of the Red Cross and put him in charge of his inauguration this year,
