we're argued today before the Supreme
Court in litigation against the United
Mine Workers and American Flint
Glass Workers. Unions. Assistant At

ernment's counsel who will defend The
Adamsoh Act, was an interested list
ener.

West Virginia, seek permanent IN
functions against the respective IN
ions 10 prevent solicitations of mem
bers among their employees who are
under specific contract not 10 join

companies contend. violates consti-
tutional liberty Of contract. In the
Adamson law case its alleged abroga-
tion Of railroads employment contracts
with employees is raised.
The West Virginia corporations. at

operate in restraint Of trade, while

strain trade by barring out all union
workmen. The arguments Will be
concluded Monday, extra time naVlng

! OF A DAMAGING FIRE

SHAMOKIN, Pa, Dec. 15.-The
business section of this city is threat
ened with destruction by fire which
broke out tonight in the Williams
building on Independence street.
About dozen buildings have been de-
stroyed at an estimated loss of S250,-

still uncontrolled.
Fire departments from Sunbury,
Mount Carmel and other nearby towns
were summoned when it was found
the flames were gaining on the local
firemen. but even with this assistance
the fire ragged unchecked. The hre
fighters were handicapped by the bit
ter cold weather, it being necessary
TO thaw the ice in some water plugs
before they could be brought into use.
One OF the buildings DESTROYED
sixty Families, mainly Of foreign birth.
All escaped injury but they were
driven out into the cold scantly clad.
Suffering, especially among the Wom-
en- and children was intense.
The fire is believed to have started
from a defective flue.
The fire was finally gotten under
control after property valued at be-
tween ss5O,O00 and 100000 had been
destroyed. Several spectators were in
jured by falling walls and were taken
to hospital. None or them is believed
to have been seriously hurt.

CONTINUE TO GROW
IN HOUSE AND SENATE
Little Hope That Prohibition
Amendment Will Get the
Necessary Two-thirds.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15-Legisla-
tive measures aimed at destruction OF
the liquor traffic continue to accumu.
late in Congress as both houses are
delueed with petitions from all parts
of the country urging adoption OF the
national prohibition constitutional
amendment and passage Of other anti
LIQUOR measures including the Shep'
pard bill 10 prohibit the manufacture
and sale Of liquor in the District OF
Columbia.
1S4 House postoffice committee
opened the door to another phase Of
the problem today in reporting favor,
ably bill by Representative. Randall
Of California. designed to close. the
mails absolutely to advertising OF any
Intoxicating liquors, and to deny mail
order houses the right to go into either
"wet" or "dry" territory to solicit
sales through the medium OF the
mails.
No move was made during the day
by prohibition leaders in the House
regarding the constitutional amend
ment reported yesterday from the jul
dietary committee, but Representative
Webb, chairman of the committee,
plans to ask the rules committee Tor
a special rule to get the resolution
before the House soon after the mol
idays.
Little Hope of Passage
Now that excitement occasioned by
the unexpected action of the Judiciary
Committee in recommending the res
olution has subsided, House members
are reflecting on the prospects lot
its passage and the consensus or opin'
ion seems to be that it cannot get the
a,ooe,ar,y t1ro-fhirdc ma aiOrity In the
SiXty-Fourth Congress. Even Repre-
sentative Webb is not sanguine Of sue
cess now, but he is confident that toe
amendment will receive more votes
than it did In the last Congress, when
It had thirteen votes more than ma
iority. BY the time the next Congress
has considered the issue, he DelleVes
the victory can be won.
The District OF Columbia prohibit
ton bill was under consideration for
several hours in the Senate today but
was temporarily laid aside after Sena'
tor Sheppard had sought an agree
ment to vote next Monday. When op
ponents of the measure signifled that
they would be ready for final ote
at that time. Senator Jones OF WASH,

to fixing the date. Debate on cn2
measure and the Underwood amend

the issue to the voters Of the district,
will be resumed tomorrow.

that the Sheppard bill. is d makeshlft,
