We clergymen feel. too. that we have
no right to assume such authority and
lay down law of our making. The
resolution in the matter passed by the
council OF the church In Virginia was
not mandatory, and was passed by a
very decided protest from the mi
nor!ty. Had this resolution been
mandatory we are OF the opinion that
in passing such measure the council
would DC transccnding It's authority.
Inasmuch then as the council could

Senate and the matter will be thor
oughly gone into. BY that time the
labor leaders expect to have had
eminent legal advice given them as
to whether they will be affected.
Chancellor Walker was asked this
afternoon for his opinion, but said
he would not care to render an opin-
ion offhandedly. He promised. how
ever, to give the matter serious con-
sideration.
One of the most serious problems
is whether or not the prohibition con-
tained in the bill against any cor
poration, persons or business firms
pooling or uniting their interests and
thereby restraining competition or
affecting the prices of any commod-
ity would apply to labor unions. The
clause ''or in any other manner by
which the price might be affected"
is the one which seriously bothers the
labor leaders.

WINS SUIT AGAINST MAN
WHO KISSED HER ON DARE
Miss lnez Lawson Lost Stage
Contract.

NEW YORK, Jan. s1.-Ten thou
sand dollars for a kiss!
The girl who received such balm
for q stolen smack is Inez Lawson,
solo trumpetist of renown in vaude-
While. She not only has the documents
to prove that $4,000 buss was
stamped on her ruby lips, but a tiny
scar left by the fortune kiss is pointed
to by the fair vaudevillist in sub
sanitation of her story.
How that $4,000 kiss was stolen is
a simple recital. Miss Lawson was
appearing In the Fifth Avenue The
atre, where she was billed as 'the
dintiest instrumentalist in vaude-
VILE" A taxicab party was arranged
after the show and forthwith Miss
Lawson, two girl companions and
three merry clubmen piled into an
enclosed whizz car. The party was a
merry one and in the course Of the
gaiety one of the girls dared any one
of the three masculine escorts to kiss
Miss Lawson. One of the men took
the def, and In Miss Lawson's fight
ing endeavor to escape the kiss she
cut her lip against the side of the
taxicab. She was FASTENED to Belle
vue Hospital and three stitches were
taken in her upper lip. The injury
barred her from playing the trumpet;
by necessity her engagement was
cancelled and other bookings also
were called off as the result of the
scuffle caused by the stolen smack.
Miss Lawson sued the clubman for
10000 damages and got It.
