INJUSTICE IN OUR COURTS. Perhaps the courts in America are more efficient and just than those of many other countries, but they still leave much to be desired. Consider this unjust trial which occurred in a civil court in Los Angeles: In 1956 Athletic Model Guild contracted with the Bikini Pool & Landscaping Co to build a pool by its studio. Full confidence was had in this company because of the lavish advertisements carried in the Los Angeles Times and the advance payment Bikini demanded was made. However, even before the work was finished, the dishonest manager of Bikini absconded with all company funds, and it tumed out that none of the subcontractors or workers had been paid. According to the Mechanic's Lien Law all of these could legally collect from the owner of the property, even though the owner had previously paid the general contractor in full. Realizing how badly we had been duped we worked out settlements with most of these subcontractors except one who refused a settlement of anything less than his outrageously inflated profit, and refused to furnish data on his wages and costs until the actual day of thal when it was impossible to check on their veracity, This last sub-contractor is now known as the DON BURGESS POOL COMPANY.

In as much as we had already paid the general contractor in full, we asked the Burgess company to accept a payment of their actual labor and material costs, but they refused this and took us to court demanding the full amount. As was our right under the 4th ammendment of the U.S. Constitution we demanded a jury trial to settle the matter (which included our complaint of shoddy workmanship performed by Burgess Pool Company), but the court refused to let us have the jury and decided against us. Appeals to several higher 18 Courts were unsuccessfore the Burgess Pool company goes on boldly advertising in every week's issue of the Home Magazine of the Los Angeles Times. We hope other residents of the Los Angeles area will not have the same misfortune we had.
