We said, "Mr. Arnold is said to have hadll the assistance of an economist in the prepare tion of this brief but its reception in Washington has been with sharp ridicule. Critics view the brief as one of masterly incompetence. So.i.c clLi-cs have even had the temerity to brand it as intellectual dishonesty. The dishonesty lies in the fact that generalizations are made about the building construction industry which are not in accord with facts and which are based upon exceptions rather than the rule." VAGUE AND UNCERTAIN Justice James M. Proctor in the Amer- ican Medical Association case declared: "The indictment is afflited with vague and uncertain statements. In some instances, material facts are altogether lacking. An important instance concerns the charge that one purpose of the conspiracy was to restrain the business of the Washington hospitals. The indictment is barren of any statenlent of the business methods used by a single hospital in the letting of its facilities and service to patients. This is fatal to that particular speieieaton, for without such facts it cannot be known whether loss of patients through operation of the scheme would injuriously affect the ,conomic welfarr of any hospital Moreover, the particular plan and pul-pose of the conspiracy as erspits the hospitals is only inferentially stated in that part which deals with the plan and purpose of the scheme as against the asscktion and its doctors. Such a muethod of stating a material part of the charge does nut meet the fundamcnlal requiirem ent that a criminal ac.us. itin he stated fully, clearly, andi with cetaimty.

But alas, destiny and a few hungry souls on top of the pile decree that John's children shall never go to college. Poor John at $2 an hour never sees $2,880 a year. If he geLs $1,800 he feels that he is doing remarkably well, considering that there are so many like himself with whom he has to share the little work there is. it was only recently that John and his fellow workers, from their bitter experience realized that unless tliey cut the working day down to six hours, more and more men would be idle; and through a united effort and possibly with a little help from the more humane and fair- minded contractors they won their battle.
