SUBPOEN A IS UPHELD IN “BUILDING TRUST” New York, Nov. 22.—The joint legis- lative committee investigating the alleged “building trust” won the first court test of its powers here tonight when Supreme Court Justice Hotchkiss denied a motion to vacate service of a subpoena for Miss Elizabeth O'Dea, an employe of the Luilders’ Supply Bureau. Under Justice Hotchkiss' decision Miss O'Dea will be required to appear as a witness before the committee and bring with her books, papers and records of thes concerned, demanded by the subpoena. Application for an order vacating the subpoena was_made on the ground that the committee's action in calling an em- ploy and not an official of the firm to produce private accounts constituted sefzure without a warrant, that the com- mittee's power expired with the adjourn- ment of the legislature, and that the fourth amendment to the constitution was violated. i Justice Hotchkiss held that it Miss 0'Dea is an employe and the records de- scribed are in the custory of the sec- retary-treasurer of the company, he' did not see “what right the witness has to object that the subpoena constitutes an unreasonable search or seizure of the books or papers of the builders' supply bureau.” “If the witness has the custody of] papers which she may have been lawful'v subpoenaed to produce,” the decision add- ed, “it is her duty to obey the subpoena and if the:constitutional rights have been Invaded it is for her to appear and object at the proper time and place.” “With respect to the lawfulness of the | committee itse!f and its power to issue subpoenas,” the decision said, “either be- cause the resolutions was not sisned by the governor or that the committee was not authoribzed to continue after the ad- journment of the legislature, I am unable to agree with contention of witnesses counsel. T do mot think that section 9 of Article 4 of the comstitution has anv application to joint resolution and * CASE view has certainly been followed Inj practice.” Justice Hotchkiss declared that “from: time immemorial” it has been the cus- tom of legislative committees in this state to sit after formal adjournment of the legislature, even though the resolu-| tion under which the committees acted may not have given them power to. STATISTICS SHOW DECLINE IN THE COST OF LIVING Chicago, Nov. 22.—Statistics which he said were intended to show that there was a spirit of retrenchment in the na- tion's industry, and that wages and the cost of living were going down through- out the country were presented to Fed- eral Judge Samuel Alschuler today by L. H. D. Weld, representing the pack- ing companies in the hearing over the demands of 225,000 packing company employes for an increase of 31 a day in their wages.

The hearing was reopened at the request of the packers who maintained that the de-| crease in the cost of living Which has, come into being since the previous hear- ing_should be taken into consideration. | Mr. Weld, in his testimony, declared that the packers were asking only that wages be. mot increased. Mr. Weld said that in South Carolina 24 cotton mills had reduced wages, and | that wage reductions also had been made by 17 industries, mostly automobile, in Ohio, ten in Indiana, 25 in Massachu- setts, eight in New Hampshire, 17 in Missouri, 19 in Illinois, not including Yackers. The 879 firms on which reporis nad,_been gathered had reduced their, working forces by more than 200,000 during the past ninety days, he said. | Bach of the 879 industries employed | more than 100 men, he said.

L. OF N. ASSEMBLY CONSIDERS ARMENIAN-TURKISH PEOBLEM Geneva, Nov. 22 (By the A. P.).—The assembly of the league of nations decided without a dissenting’ vote today to appeai to the powers in the hope of finding a gov- ernment willing to undertake mediation Detween the Turkish nationalists’ under Mustapha Kemal Pasha and the Armeni- ans. An earnest debate preceded the vote on the resolution, which was presented by M. Viviani, former premier of France, invit- ing the council of the league to take the juction indicated. 1t threatened at times, {however, to justify the predictions of the !league’s opponents that the v_# of the assembly would founder on ti: rule re- quiring a unanimous vote. Lord Robert Cecil, A. J. Balfour, Rene Viviani, Hjalmar Branting, Dr. Fridtjof Nansen, C. J. Dougherty (Canada) and 3. Stalaiovich _ (Jugo-Slavia) participated, but the real contest was between M. Viviani and Mr. Bolfour. to ar Mr. Balfour explained the failure of the league council to find a mandatory for Armenia. He referred to therefusal of the United States to accept such a mandate, and hoped that.the committee of the assembly might do better. The former Frerch premier pleaded warmly for prompt action, provoking thc first_enthusiastic demonstration of the as- sembly. He declared that if the assembly was unable to do better than name an- | other committee it would peoclaim its own impotence. It was remarked that Lord Robert Cecil applauded vigorously from the South Af- rican bench, while the English delegates, Mr. Balfoy, d H. A. L. Fisher, re- mained Siv...; indifferent. It seemed evideit that Mr. Balfour was fighting against an eventual military expedition more than against mediation as proposed by M. Viviani. Although Dr. Nansen was the only one to speak boldly in favor of an expedition- ary force to deal with the Turkish na- tionalist leader, Mustapha Kemal Pasha, all the others, with the exception of Mr. Balfour, approached as closely as they could to this eventuality without actually saying so. The general impression after the debate was that the assembly favored fighting {Kemal Pasha if no other way was found to end the coiiflict in Armenia. There was a moment of supreme ten- sion when the vote was reached, as the attitude of Mr. Balfour seemed to indi- cate that he would prevent a unanimou: vote. M. Viviani, Lord Robert Cecll, Gag= ton De Cunha, M. Lafontaine (Belgium), Hjalmar Branting and Dr. Nansen con- ferred and decided to combine on the proposition as advocated by the French and South African delegates. To the great relief and, surprise of the assembly, Mr. Balfour was one of the first to rise and vote in favor of the reso- lution. The council of the league met this even- ing but took no action relative to the res merely described the proceedings as “that curious meeting this morni g Dr..Da Cunha of Brazfi, .n replying to a question as to what action had been taken, said: “Unfortunately, no action has been taken.
