The subcommittee reported to the entire majority membership of the committee later in the day, but a decision was deferred, adjourn-1 ment being taken until next Tues day so as to give committeemen not members of the sub-cornmittee time to study the whole matter. Some of those professrng to have sounded sentiment among the ma jority merjbers were ot the opin ion that tnless there were unfore seen developments between now and Tuesday the action of the sub committee probably would be rail fled. Aside from the ballots on the sales tax and "a bill without a ev eme provision, there were said to have been several other votes In i the sub-committee. It was learned 1 that a motion to report a bill car- j rylng only an Insurance provision was defeated, six to two. Roth proponents and opponents 1 of a sales tax appeared to be stir- , prised by the vote on that propo sition. Roth sideg had been claim ing R victory with each seemingly expecting a fairly close vote. Four members of the sub-committee were reported to have fav rred a further postponement of bonus legislation in the belief that in time the problem ot finance would solve itself. Postponement is opposed, however, by a big majo .' th cornmlttee and also by mn - V members gf the house.

There is one very simple objection to a reservation, it was said, hat is. if this govern ment cannot do things designed to promote understandings and bring nations into accord without hav ing such things vetoed by congress or the senate, it will be In a. very poof position to accomplish any thing in the world.

Ctttunimt, rt AthtviUi mum! BTATE8 VILLI, Feb. 24. The municipal bond bill Is not Invalid, according to a statement here to day by Harry P. Grier, speaker of the house of representatives, un der whose direction the corrected bill was passed. The bill did pass only two rcndlngs after a "material amendment" had been made, but this does not affect the validity of the bill, according to h ruling of the supreme court, which has held I tnat two readings are sulllclent, even if a slight change In the cap- i tlon has been made after the bill tins been read the first time. The law requites three readings in both the house and the senate. This statement was made by Mr. Grier us a result, of a . statement made by Charles F. Masslich. of New York, who represents a New York bonding company. Mr Mass lich's statement was made in re gard lo Ihe validity of the SI 25.000 worth or city bonds which were offered by Ihe city of Wilson. N. C. and holds that I hey are invalid because the lull, after being amended, was not read three times. Mr. Grier makes a detailed state ment In regard to the question and cites the supreme ourt opinion in which it Is held that two readings after a slight change Is " nplc '. The statement in full follows. "The municipal finance act in its first passage through the house was materially amennea on its' second readings, and after Us pas- sage on the third reading was en- fcionscu, ,tiiu ein io, die Kriirtir." The error in its passage on second reuding was then discovered, and the bill was recalled from the sen aie. and the vote by which it passed the second and third read ings were reconsidered. ' The bill then took its place up on the second reading roll call i a I endai , and passed lt$ second read log on the day following and Ihen was placed upon the third reading calendar, and upon the next ilav it duly passed the third and final reading in the house, and was sent to (he senate, where it regularly passed its three required muling--'. "The point tpade by the alter- ! ney for the bonding company is that the bill not did pass Its flr.M i reading after it had been amended, i Our suprfAe (ourt has held, how -1 ever, in Blown vs. Road Commis sioners, 17J North Carolina, page 808.

FOUR PRINCIPLES SET UP BY DECREE Builders Will Be at Liber ty to Buy Materials Where They Wis - - - WASHINGTON, Feb. '-'!. Executive heads of the interna tional organization of bricklayers, masons nnd plasterers In confer ence loday with Attorney-General Daughter.)' consented to the entry of :i decree In the federal court at New- York enjoining certain practices of the union which have boon under investigation by th" government The decree, which Is directed against "vicious practice." series of "mttlon-w id abuses," and .various discriminations by the lOO.Oou members of the organization in building operations throughout the country was described by Mi Daugherty as a new bill of rlghitr tor the homo builder, the rent payer, the manufacturer and the business man who was to build. It lays down and adopts, i said, four basic principles: "1-liThero la to be no limit to the productive capacity of the in dividual workman within the working day or any other given time. "K There is to be no limit up ONC PROBE IN GOTHAM on t lie rigni oi in employer t" purchase his materials wherever and whenever and from whomso ever he may choose, whether those materials be unfon made or othei -wise.

Mr. Daugh erty explained, was the result of several months Investigation by -District Attorney Wm. Howard of New York In conjunction with the Justice department's Investigation of building trades and the houtdug situation. - "The department." ha said, "would not have hesitated fttr n . moment to proceed by indictment as it has done in a number of other cases In New York and other large citiea but U did not feel Jus tified to pursue that course with labor leaders who have shown every desire to ro-operste wi'.h the government in cheeking the ;ibusc comphiined of and who hav lrt 'f dulged in those agreements ' and practices not for the purposo of any personal gain but witn the alms ot their organization at heart." FREES EMPLOYERS FROM SHAC KLES. IS SAID Discussing the effect of the de tree upon the building situation throughout the country, Mr. Dougherty, declared It I eed em ployers "from the shackles." thrown around them by "these numerous illegal restrictions," H "recognized all the lawful ilms oi projects of labor unionism." and finally, "and the most Important, il gives Ihe public a chance." There is nothing in the d -re he asserted, prohibiting Ihe regu lation of the hours or condition- "L labor by the unions. "Il does, however, he sal. I ' un qualifiedly forbid any concerted ef fort, a: c'urtallmei t of production by anv rlich limil.i.ions upon 'be prod'K live capaciiv of th individ ual.
