FAMILY COURTS TO MEET MENACE [Continued From First Page.] to save it is by the establishment of family courts in which social evidence, as distinguished from legal, will be considered," Judge Hoffman said. "There will be more 'than 400,000 divorce cases tiled before the courts of the land this year, and something must be done to save our family life, the greatest civilising force we have," he continued. "The family court should be an extension of the principle upon which juvenile courts are founded. Correlate Work "It will be possible, under this system, to correlate the work of the juvenile and divorce divisions of the court and .obtain reliable , scientific data. This is the tinal purpose of the family court and it will be through the facts developed that the requisite knowledge and information necessary for the regti " lation of nThrriage and divorce will he acquired. Xo scientific law has ever heen made on the subject of divorce. Divorces are granted for ( . certain causes, but no effort is made to classify basic causes." Eli hit Hoot, former secretary of state, speaking before the judicial section of tbe Bar Association said lie favored wiping out the "business of attempting to bring about justice by statute" and that he believed it best to "leave it to the judges to do justice." Root Speaks "A few meager rules embodying the fundamental principles are all that is necessary he added. "One of the great troubles with legislation to-da.v is that it does not permit the 4 judges to do justice." Young and • inexperienced lawyers in the legis latures who, "because they did not turn out the way they thought it should, proceed as soon as they get .1 chance in the legislature to bring about the change tlicy think ought to be made." were largely responsi ble for the condition, he thought. Tho real reasons for criticism of the courts is not that the people have lost faith in the couits and confidence in our judges, but that they have come to where they want loss and less to lie bound by law." Criticism of the League of Na tions Covenant as lacking a deii n'te pledge that the nations w'i * uphold international law was made by Dr. David Jayne Htil, 'former ambassador to Germany, in an address before the American Bar Association last night. Speaking on "The Nations and the Law," Dr. Hill said: "The fundamental issue of world order is not the possibility of form ing a union of powers strong enough to impose its will upon other states, hilt the question whether (he pow ers entering into such a combina tion are disposed to bind themselves to the acceptance and observance of lotinite legal principles, irrespective of their commercial interests and military strength. We must repu ' diate, as inconsistent with the na ture of a truly constitutional state, any form of international associa tion that does not assume as its first postulate the authority of interna tional law over all nations.". Immediate rivumptlon of business relations with Germany and Austria was advocated by Klb t H. Gary, chairman of the board directors of the United States .Steel Corporation, in an address. Mr. Gary prefaced his speech with a declaration that the majority of tho people of America were in favor of the peace Treaty and th" League of Nations and that h would assume that it would be adopt ed without material change. We \eed the Goods , The re-establishment of trade be tween the United States an dthe Cen- tral powers was urged by the speak er on the ground that he need Ger man and Austrian goods and also that such purchases would have a decided influence in stabilizing international exchange. "From an economic standpoint," he said, "considering of paramount sig nificance the question on benefit to ourselves, we ought to resume busi ness relations with Germany and Austria at once." As further means to restore the in ternational business situation, Mr. Gary declared that the United States "should finance other deserving coun * tries, less fortunate in rehabilitating their productive capacity and re sources," and that "wo should pur chase their products up to the limits of our requirements and ability." He also suggested that the adoption of the American dollar as a basis of standard of currency and values was worthy of universal consideration. Game on I'. S. Nx Fertile Field Referring to the question of race discrimination, Mr. Gary asserted that "it is possible that if comparisons as to intelligence and general merit were to he made between those who are f permitted to immigrate to the United States gnd those who are denied that privilege, the advantage would bit - found in favor of the latter." He de , declared that these questions were appropriate for action by the League of Nations which should pass upon them by unanimous vote, "without unnecessary delay," after the League | s completed and adopted. Plenty of Work American business men were warn ed that they were facing the fiercest commercial struggle in the history of the world. "Foreigners," he said, "are gazing upon this country as the most fertile Held for adventure and i xploitation. By evei, known means of operation Great Britain, France, Germany and other lands will seek to control or excel in the overseas trade. \ x x x x in justice to ourselves we must be diligent and agressTve. As of vital consequence there should be the most consistent and intense spirit I of co-operation between all our peo- | pie, between labor and capital, em ployers and employes, between the tit ate and private interests. Turning to the labor question, Mr Gary said that the antidote for Bol shevism was plenty of work at reas onable compensation. He maintained that employers must not give Jcct by injunction, rather thun bv THURSDAY EVENING, barrisburg TELEGRAPH SEPTEMBER 4, 1919. destruction of property or business? If cupitui Is proceeding or threatens to proceed improperly it can be re strained by injunction and the order enforced in the regular way. A court i of equity should have, if necessary, enlarged powers of preventive reme ! dy, unlimited by statutory provisions. If there is punishment to be inflicted it should be upon the individuals who are responsible and not upon the own ers, stockholders or otherwise, of the properties involved, who are in no j wise responsible for misconduct." I Mr. Gaiy closed his speech with a ! declaration that this was not the , worst, but the pest period in our his tory. "It is the best," he said, "for it looks forward to a future that is bright and glorious if we but rise to the heights of practical advantage." 5 ONE BOARD TO DECIDE ON R. R. [Continued From First Page.] create an agency to determine wages | as well us rates. All Interests Demand It "Men will not strike," said the j Alabama senator, against the jusL j i decisions of the government. Alter | i a fair determination ot' the contro- , ' vei'sy by an impartial tribunal, pub- I ' lie sentiment will force the contend- ; ing partfes to accept the verdict ren dered as tinal. It must bo dono in j tbe interest of the men involved, the industry of the people and the | ; peace of the nation." The tribunal he proposed Senator | | Underwood continued, "must have 1 ; authority and power to protect the] lights of the whole people ugulnst j the recurrence of strikes and lock- j outs." Disturbance of transporta- ! tion, he said, affects the whole pub- 1 lie and therefore railroad employes ] owe obligations in their action dlf- ; ferent from those in private Indus try. Urges Tribunal "There is but one .way out, in my 1 judgment," he continued, "and that ] is to appoint a tribunal with the , power to adjust these matters, which | has the time to consider and the op- j portunity to know the facts. Such ! a tribunal must not only have tho j power and be prepared to do what j is right and just, by the labor cm ployed on the railroads, but must I have authority and power to see that 1 property is not confiscated by Its | decisions. For, should you confls- 1 ctite the property of the transports- ' tion companies you would 'break down the channels of transporta- ! tion as effectively as you would break them down in a strike, with the resultant injury to the people. ] A tribunal of this kind must also 1 have the authority and opportunity ' to consider the rights of shippers 1 and travelers who in tho last una- j lysis will bear any increused burden I 1 hat falls on the carriage of prop- j crty or persons over the transpor tation lines. "If you want a final and just solution of such a controversy, you are practically driven to leaving the decision to a governmental commis sion that has full and ample oppor- 1 tunity to investigate the rates of j wage, the earning power of the ! transportation companies, the cost j of living, the burden that rests 011 ! the shipping public and to deter- 1 mine: First, what is a fair, just ' aiir) living wage for lite men: second, how far this charge can be placed 1 on the capital of the corporation , without breaking it down, destroy- ! ing the value of its securities, bank rupting its property and taking away from the investing public a fair return for capital inverted; third, how far an Increased charge for labor, interest or supplies, can be handed down to the public with out doing injustice to the shipper and traveler and without becoming a menace to the development of industry. Contests Must Ccnsc "It is essential trhat the board or commission that is given the power to adjust the wage scale of the men must also have the power to reflect ] its findings in the rates charged for the transportation of persons and ' property over the railroads." Senator Underwood said the time ! has conic when contests of "brute force" between capital and labor j must cease and that the rights of ; labor should be recognized and pro- 1 tected by law as are those of prop- ' erty. These conditions he said, "are j primitive," and collective bargain ing. ho assorted, cannot he pursued against general public interest. Use of force in diminishing or increas ing wages must end, he declared, adding, however, that he did not favor laws requiring labor by com pulsion. Ashes of Hundreds of Dead Are Stolen From Morgue at Pittsburgh Pittsburgh, Sept. 4. —Seventy j pounds of tho dust of unmounted | and unsought derelict humanity last night was surreptitiously removed j front the Allegheny county morgue, j 1-or what purpose and for what rou- j son these ashes, the accumulation ] for many years, were taken, no per son connected with the county 111- i stitution has yet been able to de termine. The morgue records include many i unclaimed dead during the -JUS*. thirty years. Ashes l'rom these remains have 1 been allowed to accumulate all the long years that cremation has been j practiced in the county until au amount estimated at close to sev- ] enty pounds was kept in a large 1 receptacle in one of the morgue ! ante-rooms. Deputy Coroner Home, after an investigation, stated that the ashes | were gone and that whoever had taken them had surrounded him self with a polyglot circle of friends | as every known race, creed and ! color was included in th e outpour- I ings of the crematory.
