I represent a conference of 6 organizations in bringing this suit against the directors and officers of the society to enjoin them from usurping the rights and powers of the members. This society was organized by the workers of Brownsville to build a hospital for the workers, to be governed under democratic principles, whereby the members at large had a voice in the government of the hospital. Here was an attempt by the directors to abolish the meetings at large of the members and to usurp the election rights by ousting certain members of the nominating committee and placing in their stead four members of their own choice. It is this action Charges and Counter-Charges. insuiuuon.

ana tne sick and the needy are kept out that much longer. The group which is bringing this action against the directors has no conception of what it costs to maintain i hospital. It is impossible to conduct a (150,000 a year institution on contributions of 6 and 10 cents. This group is standing in the way of the people who want to see the hospital become an efficient part of the life of Brownsville." The president, Herman Treibitz; Hyman Meyerson, an ex-president of the board, and Simon Pier of the present board claim that the group which is bringing the action against them is "radical and Socialistic."

Result Hinges on Court's Interpretation of Constitution. "When the row between the two the proposed termination of Government war control, and the necessity for laws which should at the same time protect the railroads in their right to fair earnings and protect the public against undue exactions, the millions of American citizens have organized. The small investor had always beea obscured behind the big corporation. When the small investor came out and spoke for himself he got a hearing practically for the first time." Representative Esch said: Private Ownership on Trial. "The Transportation Act can be made a success only through the hearty co-operation of all interests affected.

Private ownership is now on'tpial; if it fails. Government ownership may have to be the only alternative. The railroad owners under the act have been given fair and reasonable terms. They must now work out their own salvation. If any fail to realize the changed conditions and still Insist on playing the part of Bourbons, an aroused public sentiment will push them aside.

Self-interest, rivalries and prejudice must yield to an earnest desire to serve the general good.

Peace conferences have been organized and are conceding the wrong done by the directors and offering reparation. But at the recent meetings of the committee of the conference of the 63 organizaUons it was declared that there can be no compromise. The hospital must belong to the people and must be governed by the people." Simon H. Kugel said: "The hospital was built for the purposes of a hospital.

The constitution is an unwieldy instrument, something like that of a Labor union. A strict interpretation of it would defeat the very purpose for which it was drawn up, the operation of a hospital.

Sixty-three organizations, whose members belong to the hospital society, have retained Max I Kane, Leonard Wallstein and Ralph M. Frink to contest the board's action. WARY OF CHARTER. REVISION "Municipal Government" was the theme of an address delivered last evening by Supreme Court Justice Isaac M. Kapper at the forum of the Brooklyn Synagogue, 933 Eastern Parkway.

Justice Kapper referred to a news article he read stating that a new City Charter Revision Committee would be appointed, and urged those present to be on their guard lest some of their rights and privileges under boro administration be curtailed, especially by the abolition of offices. He urged the retention of the office of Boro President and the Board of Aldermen, and told of the functions of each. Nathan Sweedler. who presided, called attention to the fact that Judge Kapper was one of the three Brooklyn representatives who served on the original Charter Committee, having been appointed by Governor The president of the hospital so ciety, Herman Treibitz, the other of ice. To insure It in tne rullest degree there must be team-work.

The public must lend its aid and offer during these critical days of reconstruction the most hearty co-operation." Mr. Warfield said: "The great life insurance companies and the mutual savings banks alone, taken collectively, hold in their keeping railroad investments upon which over one-half of the population of the country largely depend for their livelihood or for the protection of those who are to come after them. For the 58,000,000 life insurance policies outstanding, protecting 40,000,000 lives, and the 10,000,000 depositors in the mutual savings banks are the real owners of the investments held by these mutual institutions." The Brooklyn and Long Island din- ficers and the board have retained Simon H. Kugel to represent them. Mr.

Kane said today: "This is a matter wherein over 'ij unable to be present because of a viait to President -elect Harding at ii Marion. Ohio, sent a telegram.

"The American people resent paternalism, or too much governmental interference. They are willing to have the Government umpire the game, reserving the right of free criticism of the decisions, but they are determined to play the game themselves.

"In the hands of the Government, i the railroads became a red-hot poker, and the Government held the hot end. There was quite as much anxtety on the part of the Government to return them to their owners as there wag on the part of the people to have them turned back.

Thus, for a long time our.

laws gave all the authority to the railroad cor-poration, and, in many eases, the authority was abused. Then we swung to the other extreme, and pretty much all authority was taken away from the railroad corporations and their earning power was restricted to such an extent that their credit was almost destroyed; development and the service suffered.
