Fat Fees Snatched From Outstretched Hands | | 2... Whole Fight of Administration is Centered on Single Suit ... Elec- trle Bond and Share Is Big Target. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Dec. 20.—With all the humility which most lawyers feel is becoming to a layman, it is suggested that many of the attorneys have long been biting the hand that fed them and that the hand now has bitten back. More than 2,500 suits have been flied against the government as @ result of New Deal legislation. If you were to guess that the average cost of fighting such cases up and through the supreme court was $50,000 (some cost hundreds of thousands), you could figure that there was a possible $125,000,000—mostly in legal fees—for the lawyers of the country to scramble for. Anyway, that’s the idea, even though the figures may be cockeyed. * * * Fees Snatched Away Now comes the government, through Attorney General Homer 5S. Cum- mings, in a move that is likely to take millions in fees out of their reach, Faced with 50 widely scattered suits against the public utility holding com- pany act and the threat of 50 more, Cummings asked the federal district court here to hold everything until the government could get a U. 8. Supreme Court decision on its main case against the Electric Bond & Share Co. “Of course,” said Cummings, “many attorneys will be professionally dis- appointed.” What he meant was that many at- torneys would be financially agonized. For the big money in these cases comes from the work in the circuit FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1935 ‘Faster! Faster!’ courts of appeals and the supreme court itself. His plea was calculated to break the hearts of some of the world’s biggest and best corporation lawyers and a host of smaller fry in New York, Washington, Philadelphia, and other places.

To be able to do this|than to get the name of condoning A GOVERNOR’S TROUBLES and a desire to reach an amicable agreement—and most of them are. But the number of emotionally unstable persons seems to be increasing. That, in the final analysis, is the cause of killings such as this. Greed Is the Cause Few things prove the temper of modern gangdom better than the experience of young Caleb Milne, fourth, released by kidnapers Wednesday night after an apparent siege of torture. The motive behind this crime is greed and the methods used were heartless. Not only was the young man physically tor- tured but a finer, more subtle torture was applied to his relatives in an effort to obtain money for his release. Here the money influence is obvious. But the motive behind the killing of Walter Liggett in Minneapolis was exactly the same as that for this crime in New York and Pennsylvania. Liggett was attacking vice and rackets which, apparently, | are lucrative enough to have considerable influence with the public officials of Minneapolis. They feared his attacks would diminish their profits, perhaps even cause them to be driven out of business and into prison. As a result, Liggett was slain in cold blood. silenced forever. Desire for money is the answer, and what difference does it make to such men how they get i They prey on decent, law- abiding folk that they may take their ease. Some men have grown rich and powerful as the result of such activities, sneering at the public which they mulct. There is a good deal of cause for thought in that—and opportunity for the exercise of honest citizenship. His voice was Cheaper Than Charity In a recent address, W. J. Cameron of the Ford Motor com- pany took occasion to challenge the oft-repeated assertion that it is up to industry to employ the 11,000,000 persons, more or less, who still are without jobs in this country. His attack was from the factual standpoint that industry, using the term in its most accurate sense, never has employed as many as 9,000,000 persons, hence cannot be charged with con- tributing greatly to the unemployment situation nor with the responsibility of taking up the slack. His analysis of normal employment statistics is that roughly 10,000,000 work on farms; 10,000,000 in public and personal service, such as doctors, lawyers, nurses, teachers, cooks, enter- tainers, etc.; 8,000,000 to 10,000,000 in wholesale and retail trade; 4,000,000 in transportation and communication; 4,000,000 in the building trades and 1,500,000 in forestry, mining and fishing. On this basis, he lists industry at 8,800,000, the high- est point in its history, the definition in this case being the 16 branches of activity which supply the nation’s basic commodity requirements. The point is made that industry exists by making the tools and utensils with which others earn their living, such as shovels for diggers; plows, trucks and cream separators for farmers; ovens for bakers; hammers, saws, nails and lumber for car- penters; cloth and sewing machines for clothiers and so on through a long list, This definition is undoubtedly narrow and most of us think of industry as any occupation which is carried on in a factory. Nevertheless, the observation does serve to bring home a point which every American should ponder., That is the fact that unemployment is not merely a problem for attention by the other fellow but deserves the consideration of everyone. If and when the mass of people feel and understand that responsibility we may find the means of meeting it. To do so would be a great deal cheaper and more satis- factory than charity, no matter what adjustments in our habits or ways of thinking are necessary to accomplish the end. ‘Will of Chicago “man with two stomachs” who left both of them, plus sok bene aeieeines, ‘Toover Se coodent history will assert battleaxe. amagetedoarert eile tod ag s time an attorney general had ever appeared in a mere district court, be- cause this was the first time the gov- ernment had ever fought back in such manner against a myriad of lawsuits, and because Cummings made the un- |precedented promise that if federal district courts were going to deny his plea, the government would let the utilities get all the injunctions they liked without contest while it kept concentrating on the Electric Bond & Share case. * * * Shock to Attorneys It was a bad shock to lawyers for the holding companies, whose spokes- men had been boasting that the gov- ernment would have to get together with them and agree on four or five suits as test cases. (Which had made government law- yers rather sore, because it sounded like an arrogant threat that the “power trust” had enough money to run them ragged in the courts if they wouldn't negotiate with the corpora- tions on their own terms) Those lawyers were hard put to explain why, since they all insisted the act be voided as unconstitutional in its entirety, a straight clear-cut test couldn’t be had in a case involv- ing the best known and most wide- spread holding company. John C, Higgins, of the enormous and expensive Wall tSreet firm of Sullivan & Cromwell, even told the court it had no power to do any such thing and cast so many aspersions around that some of the utility Wash- ington counsel began to whisper about the egenius of New York big shots in “coming down to the provinces and saying the wrong thing.” Whatever the judge decides, the government will concentrate on the E. B, & 8. case and let the rest go hang. In so doing, it probably will ruin the “power trust” strategy of “ganging up” to bring more suits than it pos- sibly could defend. x ok OK Legal Talent Cornered Cummings and his men found themselves opposed by a horde of highly trained permanent company counsel familiar with affairs of the suing companies, plus eight or 10 big New York and Washington law firms, which had been cooperating for months on the issues. A frantic effort to find new and competent legal talent to help SEC defend all these cases revealed that practically all available able talent had been hired by the utilities or was connected with them in one way or another, The new federal technique is tough on the big lawyers. But it’s a Christ- mas gift to taxpayers—and utility stockholders as well as consumers, (Copyright, 1935, NEA Barve) ine) A BIT OF HUMOR NOW AND THEN IS RELISHED BY THE BEST OF MEN (Valley City Times-Record) The country is pretty much aroused over the killing of the editor in Minne- apolis, and very naturally the hunt for the assassin is accompanied by various claims as to persons who may have connection with the murder. The bitterness of feeling which has long marked the doings of the several political parties in Minnesota has a fresh occasion for expression as the outrage of the murder is contem- plated. And of course Governor Olson, just because he happens to be in office at the time, is the target for attacks coming out of the crime. One of the troubles of a governor or a president or any other official leader is that he must be held respon- sible for many things he has nothing to do with personally. Just because he is in office he is supposed to fore- see and prevent doings that will bring discredit upon the community or the he would have to be a superman, en- dowed with more wisdom than is usually found in any of the leaders now in office. Nevertheless his attitude toward certain elements in the mass of people concerned with him has its effect. porter of law and order, willing at any cost to repress the violent and to take @ firm stand on the question of preserving the peace, his influence is felt down to the humblest individual as an encouragement to all people to join in efforts to limit strictly the activities of criminals. Supporting the orderly forces of the community in this way will often lead an official to incur criticism or even open attack from those who number themselves among his followers; but he had far better take the course of supporting the fundamental decencies and make enemies where he must in so doing If he is known to be a sturdy sup-| violence. Especially just now are the people of the United States nervous and ap- prehensive over the matter of conniv- ance between gangs and officials, So many dastardly crimes have gone un- punished, so many vice lords have grown great and lived unmolested, so terrible has been the effort required to bring well known criminals to ac- count at the bar of justice, that a good many people have concluded there must be’some secret doors open- jed for their refuge. The public gaze jis directed toward officials for this reason, and official acts are being scrutinized more closely than ever jbefore. If there is an understanding’ |with the gangs, such a condition must jbe stopped, no matter whose career is wrecked. An appeal to Washington is less convincing as a method than rig- orous and determined uncovering of conditions by the officials concerned. bound to be dizzy if she’s been fol- lowing your trail! “Because of his drinking, Tom’s out in the cold when it comes to parties.” “You mean nobody invites him?” “No, I mean his wife won't let him in when he gets home.” “Now, when your wife is unhappy are you unhappy, too?” “Yes, when she has no happiness she won’t let anyone else have any.” “I think the boss married his wife because of her mind.” “Yes, her mind was made up to get him and she got him.” “You can tell the band leader's character by his mouth.” “Yes, it’s usually covered with some girl’s lipstick.” “I showed the producer of the re- vue what I had and he hired me im- mediately.” “To sing?” “No, to show what I have.” “I make a lot of money pigeons.” “Do people buy them?” “No, they take their clothes to my dry cleaning shop.” raising “Can_anything turn without mov- g?” “Seemingly a paradox.” “Think of. milk.” If I were the Republican party my slogan would be “Save the New Deal from its friends.”—William Allen White, Kansas editor. * * OK The church is much safer than an automobile.
