Such control, "te itimire a secret bill
t free from intimidation or miMepre
itntlen, iitnl its honest count," was
urped by Mr. T.eree following n dec
laration that the American worker nee-d
te be rescued from what he tonne 1 tlic
tyranny of "labor tirefpv.iini.illv or-
jtanized where the great mass responds i
te pressure from alxive, exploiting and
belnc exploited for the benelir of its I
rulers." lie quoted President Hard
ing's coal strike address te Congress te '
dhow that these labor rulers are reeking
te impose en the country their policies
vrhlch, Mr. l.eree said, for the most
part are rank economic heresies."
The rescue of labor "from an orpanl erpanl orpanl
ratien that has become its tyrant" can
only be accomplished from the outside,
Bald .Mr. l.eree. nnd he urged his henr
ers te devote time and thought te ways
and means of helping the laborer "In
his fafety and comfort intel
lectuallj and spirituallj ."
Urges New Prevision
In addition te his recommendation for
State supervision of all strike ballot
ing, Mr. l.eree urged that the following
previsions be made in new laws:
First. Te provide that voluntary as.
roclntleiis of .-even or mere members may
sue or be sued.
Second. le ninke the records ami
accounts of such associations

te uublic autherit. uml te make neliti

better facilities for Inlsir dispute inves
tigation through the power te suhpeen.t
witnesses: also te make available te the
public full reports of such investlgc investlgc
tlens; then te compel fourteen days'
notice of intention te strike or lookout.
Mr. l.eree traced the development of
trades unions te rhew hew "demlirint
fplrlts exerted pressure ' ion the i-"-lated,

leadership gradually shifted "from tin

is well as 'he killing of incentive for
Increased production "nn Intecnt,

Judge Barratt, in Address te
Grand Jury, Urges Indictments
Without Fear or Faver
DECRYS MAUDLIN SYMPATHY
Judge Rnrratt, In his chnrge te the
Grand Jury, opening the fall term of
Quarter Sessions Court today, urged
drastic enforcement of the automobile
traffic laws In order te safeguard life.
He urged that nil offenders be held
criminally responsible. "Among the
matters which will engage your atten
tion." said Judge Harratt. "will be
reckless driving nf automobiles nnd
crimlnnl responsibility therefer. "Par
ticularly dangerous te the lives and
limbs of our citizens Is the driving nn
the wrong side nnd pnsslng a trolley
car when the car Is halted te take en
and discharge passengers.
"This is contrary te law, but we sec
It almost dally, "Seme people, it
seems, cannot learn te drive nn auto
mobile either with safety te ethers or
themselves. This occurs often bv rea
son of deafness, ethers by defective eye
sight or hearing, but these conditions
de net excuse them when a citizen I"
killed or injured.
Should He.strlrt Knur Cases
"Inexperienced or reckless drivers or
these physically defective in sight or
hearing or these rendered incapable by
drunkenness, narcotic or ether habit
producing drugs should net be permitted
te drive n motorcar, as It is prohibited
ny inw.
"In tlic meantime nil Hint can be
done, when the violations are brought te
our attention. Is te punish the offend
ers for injuring or killing ether persons,
or meter homicide ns It is commonly
known. When 11 case of thin .kind Is
presented te you. consider the grim fncts
nnil usecrtnin It the law has Iieen vio
lated for which Kime one is criminally
responsible.
"If .1011 find it was net nn accident
but criminal negligence or recklessness
your dut) te protect the community Is
plain."
Judge Harratt then quoted the laws
nppl.ilng te the operation of automo
biles, nnd snld :
"Cnwlse mercy, maudlin sympathy
nnil unjustifiable clemency, it Is snid,
hnve been carried te such an extreme
as tn make this country the most law
less Iu the world, especially since the
wnr nnd I lie prohibition amendment, but
while they may be contributing causes.
let us by our snne application of enx
lnw. fully protecting the defendant in
his constitutional right, show the world
that this is net true in Philadelphia."
Must AttaeJ. Drug TraUlc '
Judge Harratt then passed en te Ihe
ding traffic, saying: "The activity 01
the authorities in arresting drug sell
ers nnd nddlcts has brought te the pub
lie i-onseepience the knowledge nf the
proinlenoo of the drug evil in the com
munity. "Te stamp It out is our problem, and
when 11 prima facie case is presented
te )ou that the law has been violated
either ns te the possession, selling ,
ether illegal uses of the baneful drugs, it

cant by Miller's Death
DEFEATED IN THE PRIMARY
The Republican women of Delaware
County who lest an assembly nomina
tion for one of their sex in the primary
scramble new want a woman named for
the ticket vacancy caused by Repre
sentative Henry P. Miller's denth.
At the sprinc primary, the Repub
licans of the county nominated for the
Legislature Mr. Miller, William G.
Alexander, Media, and W. Heward
Metcalf. Upper Darby.
-Mr. Miller died last week, and the
resulting vacancy en the ticket will be
filled by the committee en vacancies
of the Delaware County; Executive
Committee. It meets tonight in Media.
Back of the women's efforts is the
fact tlint the 1021 Legislature Increased
the assembly membership from two te
three for the Second district of Dela
ware County.
Prier te the primary, lenders of the
Republican women sought such new
places for members of their sex. Thev
reasoned the women voters should have
the recognition nnd that by naming
them for the exfrn places no men would
be displaced.
The Delaware County women became
se engrossed, however, In the fight, be
tween Glfferd Plnchet nnd Attorney
General Alter for the gubernatorial
nomination that they lest sight te the
ueiiiesiN ier tne legislature.
Ihe result was that all three Assem
bly places were captured by men. The
next highest vote. 7fi04. was polled bv
Mrs. Mary h Worrell, while Harry
Ileyhurn polled 74fi.'t votes and Mrs. Ei.
h. Mellcl. received ("01) votes.
The women argue (hat the custom in
Delaware County is te give a meaner
te the unsuccessful candidate with the
highest number of votes. Adoption of
this plan would gire the plnce te Mrs.
V errrll.

Harry Heyburn. Is a member of the
