CONCESSION FROM ENEMY.
Lewiston Journal Cites Decision OF
Supreme Court Holding Two Thirds
Vote Necessary in Farrar Case.

A new feature has developed in the
question of the legality of the election of
certain members of the Maine House OF
REPRESENTATIVES because of their holding
commissions as postmasters. In Vol q
of the Maine law reports the court. an
swering questions submitted by Gov
Huntoon, SAYS "a member of the Senate
who has been duly elected and declared
so to have been by the proper tribunal,
cannot be deprived of his seat in any
other way than by vote of expulsion,
two-thirds concurring.' This answer was
made in reply to four problems growing
out of peculiar situation which then ex-
listed. In 1929, but 16 of the 20 senators
were elected The constitution provided
that in the event that no senator was
elected in a given district. the House and
Senate in Joint convention should elect a
senator to represent that district. When
the legislature met early in $50, eight
of the IS senators elected met in Joint
convention with the House and elected
four senators to fill the vacancy. Govern
or Huntoon, among other questions, ask
| ed the court to say if the election We're
| legal The court decided it was not and
| in so doing used the words quoted. 1t
| is now claimed by the opponents
to the unseating of the four members
| of the House who are postmasters, that
| by reason of that decision Mr.. Farrar
| was not properly unseated, as the vote
was carried by a majority, not by two
| thirds vote-Lewiston Journal.

The Maine and Massachusetts Constitutional
Conventions.

The history of Article s. Section of the Maine Constu
ton throws much light the meaning of post officers 1t
reads in part follows: No member of Congress, of the
Legislature of this State any person holding any Office
under the United States (boStoeeS ereefed any civil
officers under this State Justices of the peace and
public exceped shall be Councillors
Mr.. Whitman of the Constitutional Convention moved
amend this section by inserting place OF the word under
the words in the execui0e department of-'the United
States" The amendment adopted, and though
sderaton afterwards rejected grounds bearing
the point the action and discussion show clearly
that the convention have regarded postocers being
in the executive department of the United States which
would be true of postnastes but of officers of military
posts This alone should be conclusive upon the meaning
"postoicers understood by the craftsmen of Con
stitution

GIRLS AT WORK But
VIOLENCE IN GARMENT
STRIKE IS INCREASING.

New York, Jan, 20.-A few thousand
girls went to work in the dress and
shirt waist factories, today, but in
other branches of the garment makers
trades, the strike developed more vio-
lence than the police have had to con-
tend with on any other day since the
trouble began Rioting started before
daylight when members of the United
Garment Workers of America learned
that the strike breakers were to be
brought into the factories as early as
o'clock. Last week, these employees
had slept and eaten at the factories,
but. Saturday night, they were allow
ed to go to their homes.
The strike breakers were attacked
as they came out of the subway sta
tions and the police say that East
Side gangsters played an important
part in the battles. Most. of the riot
ing, occurred in the area bounded by
Fourth and Fifth avenues and the
Bowery Blocker and 18th streets.
Men and women were beaten and
trampled and policemen engaged in
rough and tumble fights all over the
street. More than 50 arrests were
made The supreme court was asked.
this afternoon, to grant sweeping
injunction against the employees of
manufacturers belonging to the New
York Clothing Trades Association.
The Injunction, if granted, will re-
strain the strikers from all manner
of interference with employees, who
remained at work.

The opinion of former Chief Justice
Wisweil is shown by the following eX-
tract from an editorial in the Portland
Evening Express:
"when Horace Mitchell of Kittery first
made his entrance into the arena OF
State politics as a representative from
Kittery. in 1891, the question of the IN
depreciation of the Constitution "hlch
yas factiously raised in the effort TO
deprive him of his seat in TINS Legs
latnre. was brought to his attention
for he was then, as now, postmastet
at Kittery Point. The late Hon. Anofe"
F. Wiswell since one of the most
honored Chief Justices of our supreme
court, was to be speaker OF that
House. Mr.. Mitchell went to him WITH
the question, and was assured that IL
had long since been settled, and that
he was eligible to the seat In the
House TO which he had been elected.
Since that time he has served the
House, at the same time holding his
commission as postmaster at Klttery
Point. in the years in 1898, and in 1907
and the special session of 1908, and I'M
til il was thought that his vote Tor
senator might be prevented, no one
has suggested question as to his
eligibility
II has also been stated that Hon.
Enoch Foster, formerly a justice OF
our supreme court, has given his un-
eauivocal opinion that post Officers
refers to postmasters and other Off
Gals OF the postal service, and not TO
officers of military posts.
Professor George T. Little, librarian
of Bowdoin College for many years,
testifies as follows:
| Hon. John A. Peters,
Augusta, Maine.
| Dear Mr.. Peters: Permit me 10 caii
| to YOUR attention the following reasons
| for believing that by the WORD post
officers used in Section IL, Article ~ OF
| tho Constitution the trainers of that
document meant the persons we now
term nostmasters and mail contractors.
The word post-ofIicers, though it
is now obsolete, was regularly used
in the sense of IAN onlcef or oilicla'
of the post from 1869 to ls4S, see New
English Dictionary, Vol. I, rage no

We're many mail contractors VINO were

II. If postmasters were not eX-
cepted by this word. how did 1t hap
pen that in the Legislature of 1924 Sc
soon after the adoption OF the State
Constitution, the following Unitec
Sta ties pestmasters were allowed tt

FIGHT OF MRS. SLATER
AGAINST TRUSTEES IS
ENDED AFTER 3 YRS.

Worcester, Mass, Jan. 20.-The fight
which Mrs. Mabel Hunt Slater has
continued unremittingly for three
years against the trustees of her hus
bands estate, to keep the property in
the family. ended, today, when the
supreme court confirmed a compro-
mise
The case was a notable one and the
outcome IS regarded as a victory for
the widow, who has been defeated in
each successive action instituted, the
decisions against her including an
opinion from the full bench of the SUI
preme court.
When Horatio M. Slater died the
control of the Slater Textile property
in southern Worcester county, valued
at many millions, passed by the terms
of his will into the hands OF trustees.
The latter arranged to sell the prop
erty, to n corporation financed by a
Boston banking house.
Mrs. Slater sued to prevent the sale
as She wished her children to inherit
the industry established by their
grandfather, Samuel Slater Defeated
at law she persisted until the trus-
tees agreed to compromise.
By the terms of the settlement the
plan to dispose of the properly is
abandoned and the two surviving
trustees, Charles G. Washburn and
f. b. Smith of Worcester resign. The
third trustee, Amos Bartlett of Web
ster, died some time ago. The court
appointed John C. Grey of Boston
guardian Off the four minor Slater
children. three girls and a boy, and
Robert Romans of Boston, guardian
for any contingent interest.
Mrs. Slater, who is a daughter of
the late Richard NJ. Hunt. the artist,

ployes in he Slater works.
