VIRGINIA COUNCIL WINS
Upheld in Controversy With National Council J.
o. U. A. N.

The conflict between the two Virginia
factions of the Junior Order OF United
American Mechanics was decided by the
L. ). Supreme Court Monday in favor OF
the faction chartered by the State Of Nir-
ginia against the faction chartered 10y
the national council.
The council possessing a state charter
sought to secure an injunction against the
opposing body The application was re-
risted. on the ground that the action ol
the State legislature in granting a char
ter was unconstitutional. The state
courts upheld validity Of the act, and
their position was sustained by Mon
days opinion.
Justice Holmes. who delivered the Opin-
ion. upheld the State charter on the
ground that it had the right to exclude
foreign corporations. The national
council insisted the legislature had no
right to alter the constitution OF the
order. which it had done by emitting
the provisions for the protection OF Amer
leans from foreign competition, Tor the
maintenance of the American school Tree
from sectarian interference. and the dec
laration favorable to Bible reading inthe
schools

about $3.50, 900 of the voting stock

makes it a matter Of great import

we are glad to learn that, whether
through pressure or otherwise, MIR.

that a basis of agreement will be
