CLAIM DRAFT Is
VIOLATION OF
CONSTITUTION
Arguments Begun in Kansas
City On Appeal From
Consumption Law
INJUNCTION
PROCEEDINGS
Every Point Raised Passed
on By Supreme Court
Says Attorney
(By Associated Press.)

Kansas City, Mo-, May S1.-Argu-
ments were begun in circuit court to-
day on the injunction petitions filed by
officers of the Federation for Demo-
cratic Control to enjoin officials from
enforcing the draft registration next
Tuesday.
The argument to be presented by ].
that the registration and draft violat-
ed amendments to the federal consti-
tuition.
Jacob Harzfeld, attorney for Mayor
Richards, was prepared to submit quo
tations from United States decisions
which say that a man may be COM
PEELED by force against his will without
regard to his personal interests or even
his religious or political beliefs, to
take his place in the ranks of the
army.
Every point to be brought out by the
attorney, Mr.. Harzfeld said, had been
overruled in previous supreme court
decisions. To add weight to his argu-
ments he expected to say the state
courts had no Jurisdiction.
The injunction proceedings were
filed in the names of r. l. Moore and
Thos. Sullivan.
Shewalter appealed to the doctrine
Of states rights" in his argument, say
ing that state, county and city officials
had no power to carry out the federal
duties assigned to them in the registra-
ton work. His argument contained
such phrases as "militaristic empire"
liberty Is threatened to be struck
down and when you strike down
free speech you strike down the bull
warks of government"
He declared the newspapers had
forced the country into the war.
