r.ponslbllity, together with it willing
ness on the part of citizens to make
their appeals from the action or
non-action of the local governing
body to the electorate and not to
the legislature, will help reduce the
size of the printed volume of session
laws."
Goes After Congress.
Uniform campaigns and concerted
action demanding that Congressional
committees report out bills designed
to modernize and make uniform the
procedure In the courts, was recom
mended today in the report to the
American Bar Association, by the
committee on uniform judicial pro
cedure, of which Thomas W. Shelton
it chairman. The report declared
the same billB previously paprovod
by the association will be Introduced
again in Congress In December, and
rays "It is only necessary for the
committees to report."
Strong personal opposition may~T)e
expected from certain Senators, tho
report declares, but a majority, in
favor of the proposals is assured
once the bills come from comrnit
t ecg. _
The bill which it Is dcjlred to
bo made a lat^-has for Its purp:nso
giving to the Supreme Court of tlie
i.mieu man's i ne auuioruy 10 mane
rules governing the entire procedure
in casr3 at law to the same extent
that It now has power to regulate
the procedure In equity and ad
miralty and the bankruptcy courts.
The report reviews much of the
efforts and history of the bills intro
duced and says the proposed law
‘will ret the Judges and lawyers
free to perfect the machinery of the
courts for which they are held
solely responsible by laymen.”
Help Peer Litigants.
The Bar can no longer bo charged
with neglectlqg the interest of poor
litigants. Reginal Berber Smith,
chairman of the Committee on Legal
Aid Work reported today.
In the past year the number of
legal aid associations has increased,
until now there are 40 such or
ganisations. Their purposes are to
furnish lawyers' services to poor
•persons. In 1922 more than 125,
000 persons received such assist
ance. The legal aid associations and
bar associations are working to
gether.
“In the more populous states the
bar has recognized its responsibility
and in divors ways lias rendered
joa^eervice," the report said. “Legal
Hid workers hold the clear convic
tion that the begt guarantee for
toe maintenance of legal aid work
on its present high plane will cotnej
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
from a tradition that legal .old work
is one of Ihe most Important con
cerns of every bar association. This
tradition hus been started. It is our
task to foster and encourage it."
The committee reported It hoped
during the ensuing year to draft a
model which will help overcome the
baffling problems to the poor man
growing out of the present system
of court coets.

(lie hardwood lumber casts, according
I u. Attorney General Barrett.
After the anti-trust decisions of
[ Federal and Suite courts some inteen
years ago, holding that it was 11-;
; legal far competitors to come to-1
gether and agree upon prices, lawyeis1
over the country began searching
j for a method which would keep with-1
in the law and yet advance the in
! terest of their clients, the attorney j
general said.
A plan was found which has been!
generally culled “The open price as !
I soctartton plan,” according to Mr. Bar-!
rett, whereby competing companies
formed a central association with a
manager and secretary and reported
to it all prices on sales by members.
The association regulated the terms
of credit and the general business
practices of its members, and provid
ed for cooperation that went far
but stopped short of the actual fix
ing of prices. Books were written
describing the plan as “The New ,
Competition,” and it was believed, the
attorney general said, that the me
thod would be proof against prosecu- *
tion by the State or Federal authori
ties.
Attorney General Barrett main
tained that the net effect of the plan
i was to lessen the full and free com
| petition which the Missouri laws re
quire and to impose upon the public
much higher prices. The court in a
sweeping decision declared that the
Missouri statutes forbid not only
agreements to lessen competition, but
I agreements which te*d to lessen it.
! The decision said that the very crea
tion of a system of machinery which
can be improperly used, is in itself a
violation of the Missouri law. The
court found that the increased cost
1 of lumber was due to other factors
as well, such as higher freight rates
and greater labor costs, but condemn
ed the lumber exchange in the most
positive terms.
