Senator Bur. ton. of Ohio. sssailed today the meas ure as a dangerous experiment in u eminent ownership and asserted tha It would open the way to tne ouuain un flf mncia.l Interests. The Ohio feenator talked several boars after Senator Fletcher, in charge of the measure, had succeeded over nsralxtent oDDOsitlon in bringing it sauarely before the Senate for discos Inn Later the LMstrict of Columbl appropriation bill took tho right of way. but the debate will be resumed as soon as that measure is out or me way. Piloaa-ed Debate Iadleated. Kautor Burton, who emphasized th ef t-retterated determination of the Be Miblinm to debate the measure at s-reat length, had not concluded his ad drnu when he cave way for the appro priation bill. He challenged advocates of the bill to tell any specific route o trade on which it was proposed to es tablish a Government line. Senator Kletcber replied . that the duration of routes was one which mus h worked out by the shipping board tlfat It Involved a great deal of careful study to determine Just wnat lines o traffic would be most benefited. H declared that the minority report indl rated that iu the opinion of its signers the I'nlted States Government was tiowerlen to assist its people in the mrnfr nresented to American co mcree bv the war. It contended, he aid. not for some other plan of relie than that offered by the majority of the committee, but that nothing what ever be done that American shippers should be toid they would have to wait until their difficulties settled them selves. Uh a O.veraaaeat Predicted. Even the advocates of the bill. Sen ator Burton Insisted, believed the Gov ernment ships would be operated at a ImiL and he argued that to believe those ships ever could be disposed of and the Government retire from the business without a tremendous loss on the original investment as well as the deficit of operation was folly.

Senator Burton gave it as his opinion that the President, "with the manifold duties which he Is discharging so ably," could not have all the available data before him when he concluded that transportation facilities were lira ltert. Th. fact Is." said he, "that trans portation facilities to Central and tfouth America are abundant. Ships going from New York to South Amer ica have plenty of extra room in them, the reason being that the buying ca pacity of South American countries is rreatly reduced, owing to the financial stress which began before the war and later developed Into a real crisis.

By the de cision here today of a special Federal Court of Appeals the Arizona anti-alien law. recently adopted as an Initiative measure, was declared void. The court held that the statute violated the guar antees of life, liberty and the posses sion of property made to all alike, whether aliens or not. under the 14th amendment to the United States Constitution. The court said that if tbe State of Arizona could forbid any employer to hire more than 20 per cent of aliens it could with equal Justice forbid him to hire 1 per cent or even an individual alien. This struck at the vitals of the act, which ordered that any employer, 1th a payroll of five or more names. must see that at least 80 per cent of those names were of duly qualified electors. Arizona, through the state Attorney General, defended the act as necessary to its police powers over dangerous gatherings. Labor troubles in the mining camps gave birth to the act. "Tbe law was intended." said . the court, "to be a police regulation.' but under guise of police regulation the state was in effect depriving the com plainant of his right to labor, guar anteed to him by the 14th amendment to the United States Constitution. . ' "If under the guise of police regula tion a state can. prohibit an employer from employing more than 20 per cent of alien labor, it can prohibit himTtrom employing more than 5 per cent, and If a per cent, any at all. "The Supreme Court of the United States recently has held that the right to labor is a right of property. An alien cannot be deprived of theright of property under the Constitution of the United States." endow the maternity hospital com prises four lots at Broadway and Burnside street Tiow . occupied by the H, L.
