Digs, took no part in the case. The
majority opinion. given by Justice Day,
held that while Congress may have in
tended to prohibit only traffic in
women for pecuniary gain its plain
terms include Introduction of their
transportation for any other immoral
purpose" If it was not so intended the
ma jority said, 1t was Congress func-
tion--not the courts-to amend the
law.
The ruling affects many pending
cases. including that of Jack Johnson,
the Negro pugilist. who is a fugitive
from justice.
Whether the law makes accom-
plices of women involved in personal
escapades is not definitely decided by
the court, but their testimony against
men indicted was upheld as permits
sible.
In the test cases, Caminetti was SEN
fenced to Is months imprisonment and
fined $500; Diggs to two years and d
$4,000 fine: and Hays to Is months in
prison. These sentences will go into

AL Demaree, member of the Phila-

not believe there would be strike
because he believed the club owners
and players will set together before
the trouble has gone too far"
There seems to be no very serious
differences" Demaree said. Salaries
may not become involved, for this
question is personal issue between
the players and club owners, and is
not recognized as a fraternity prob
lem One real grievance was the dis
ability clause but this has been elm
