Virginians Win in Supreme Court.

Through a decision handed down by
the U. S. Supreme Court, the Chancery
Court Of Richmond is sustained The
court refused reopening of contempt
proceedings brought about as a result
OF a split in the ranks of the Junior
Order United American Mechanics.
The case originated nearly ten years
ago, when Virginia's delegates TO the
Grand Council of the Junior Order
refused to pay the State assessment on
her large membership on the ground
that her representation in the Grand
Council was only equal to that Of States
having less than one-third of the en-
rolled membership.
A majority of the councils in the
State backed up the action of
the delegates, forming a separate
organization Incorporated under the
laws Of Virginia. The State or
ganization then proceeded to enroll
members as a fraternal and bene-
ilcial society, without regard to the ma
tional organization. A few councils
remained ''loyal" TO the Grand Council.
and these were enjoined by court order
from using the name or any of the
rites of the Virginia organization. A
test case was finally made out, several
loyalist members violating the injunc-
ton OF the court. Judge Grinnan i'm
posed fine of $50 each on J. w.
Forbes. Thomas Tatum Osborne and
John 7. Cox. The refusal of the Su-
preme Court TO reopen the case is a
victory at every point for the Virginia
organization.
Members of the Grand Council have
suggested settlement by giving the
States representation in the national
organization in proportion to member
ship. thus yielding to points for which
the Virginia delegates originally con-
tended

Business growth tells briefly our
reason for moving from 6O4 Pa. Ave.
to 636 Pa. Ave. Our new home is
nearly twice the size of the old. We
have equipped it with every modern
convenience known TO an up-to-date
liquor business, and we believe we
have the finest establishment of the
kind in the National Capitol. We
lald our plans very carefully in con-
structlng our new building. and have
spared nothing that would promote
comfort or convenience. In our new
quarters we will be better able than
ever to handle local business and will
be particularly well equipped to look
after our mail order business. which
Is increasing every day, and has
made this the leading mail order
house of Washington, We attribute
our phenomenal business growth as
tribute to the merits of the goods
we sell.
