VETS LOSE SKIRMISH
TO COMPEL REFERENDUM
Had Sought to Force Colorado Secre-
tary of State to Submit Ratification


Judge Henry q. Hersey of the dis
trict court at Denver, Colo, on July
| refused to issue an alternative writ
of mandamus asked by the anti-Pro-
hibition forces of the state to compel
Secretary of State holland to place
the ratification of the National Pro-
hibition Amendment before the vot-
ers at the next general election.
Although an alternative writ usu-
ally is issued to bring the matter be-
fore the courts and does not become
peremptory until after the hearing on
the date set for its return, Judge
Henry stated that in this instance he
would consider issuing the alternative
writ only on notice; that is, the sec
rotary of state must have an oppor-
tunity to come into court if he desires
and offer objections to the issuance
of the alternative writ. 1t is thought
the vets will seek the writ later be-
fore another court.

Rising Wet Hopes
Are Dashed Again
President Gives No Hope of Lifting
Lid

Several weeks ago President Will
son in a cablegram crushed the hopes
Of the vets by declaring that he had
no legal power to end wartime Pro-
hibition. They were given some hope
by the following statement in this
same message, when rehabilitation
is terminated my power to act with
out Congressional action will be ex-
ercised."
In interview with newspaper men
soon after his arrival in America,
however, the President again crushed
the renewed hopes of the vets. The
Chicago Tribune gives the following
account of the situations:
From remarks made by the Presi-
dent today in conference with news
paper correspondents it is inferred
that the present dry spell is to be
somewhat protracted.
"The wet holiday between the ter
mination of wartime Prohibition and
the beginning of constitutional Pro-
hibition next January may be only a
few weeks in duration.
Here are Conditions
"The preliminaries to the termina-
ton of wartime Prohibition, it ap-
pears from the Presidents remarks,
are numerous and difficult:
Ratification of the peace treaty
by the Senate, which may take
three months, and by the other
powers.
Proclamation of peace by the
President. which will be made as
soon as ratihcations are ex-
changed with Germany.
Complete rehabilitation OF
the army, which may not be
achieved for some time after the
proclamation of peace.
Much Depends on Teutons
"The speed with which demobiliza-
ton is accomplished, the President
indicated, will depend upon the speed
with which Germany fulhlls various
military provisions of the peace
treaty"
The Chicago Journal published the
following in its account of the Pres
ident's statement aand its, bearing
upon the operation of wartime Pro-
hibition:

SAY THERE'S NO PROFIT
IN MERE BEER SALES
New York Dealers Fear Places Open
for Such Sales Will be Under Sus,
picion, Therefore

A dispatch in the New York Herald
of July says that saloonkeepers of
New York City say that they cannot
continue in business depending upon
the sale of beer only.
They also declare that this business
is so Improbable that the law-abiding
dealers are fearful that suspicion will
soon be directed to any place which
remains open. They say that it is
only the dealer who disregards the
law who can afford to do business
now. There is some whisky being
sold clandestinely.

According to the San Francisco

BREAKING THE STEEL STRIKE.

IN THE Literary Digest of November 22 appears ac
count OF the policing of the steel regions of Pennsy
vana during the steel strike by Leland Ods formerly
professor at Amherst and afterwards member of the
War Labor Board. 1t is reprinted from recent issue
OF 'The World Tomorrow, a radical New York weekly
The writer presents theyewpont of the strikers in SYM
pathetic vein and reveals regime of brutality and repres
sion reminiscent of darkest Russia.
Numerous incidents are given showing injustice mis-
fortune and poverty among the workers. Freedom of

be used in riot but they daily used to prod to goad
to cot and bse to terrorze and provoke the strikers
Despite the provocation the strikers have not retail
lated realizing that rotng and violence would defeat the
strike and this despite the fact that leaders have been
jailed aid assembage forbidden Most of the strikers are
foreigners and speak in broken English but they have
learned their rights Americans are striking for their
rightsthe right to be treated freemen instead of
slaves.
The steel barons refused to arbitratehe old answer

to the cheapest labor the world in order to swell

CONFERENCE FAVORS
PAYMENT OF WAGES
TONOTHER WORKERS

! Washington, Nov. 2S-The Interna-
jtional Labor conference today, by a
vote of AZ to 26, adopted a provision
imposing on various governments pay
ment of three months wages to women
workers for loss of time incident to
child birth
Under the provision women would
be given six weeks leave before and
six weeks leave with pay after child
birth. Under the provision as original
ly drawn employers would have had to
bear the burden of making the pay
ments but employers delegates defeat
ed this.
Germany today cabled an expression
of regret at its inability to participate
in the labor conference, due to failure
of it's delegates to obtain passage until
! it was too late.
| "Evrything possible was done to Sc
cure passage but the delegation was
compelled with heavy hearts to give
up their journey and participation i'll
! the conference. The German delega.
| tion is convinced that their absence
will under the circumstances be not
misconstrued by the conference" said
! the cable.

Billy Cappelle and Leo Houck, coast hEhtWeights, await the sound of the gong that will call them together in 1O-round bout before the Phoenix Ath- letic club in Aracadia hall tonight Both men finished their training yesterday afternoon with light workouts in the gymnasium
 The opening boxing card of the new club is one of unusual excellence, con sisting of three bouts, two of which might well be classed as headline att fractions.
 Much interest attaches 10 the main event, as it brings together two Of the best boys of their weight on the Pacific Coast Cappelle is a veteran of many hard ring battles, and at one time was sparring partner for Ad Woi- gast, the Michigan Bearcat. He later fought a 10-round draw with Joe. Riv- CTS. Mexican lightweight, who many critics believed defeated Wolgast in their memorable fight at Vernon.
 Incidentally, it matches two boys who have yet to suffer defeat by the knock out route. Houck, former boxing in structor at the naval training station at Seattle, has met and defeated the best boys of his weight in the north west and has only recently come south in quest of larger game, as he puts it.
 There is little choice between the two men. Both are long on mixing it, with a result that a real battle can be ex- pected HOucl1 is the more clever of the two and a trifle faster, but Cap pelle's experience should offset this handicap.
 As to hitting ability, there is little advantage with either man. Both arc two listed men. possessing terrific punching power in either mitt.
 Cappelle will have weight advan- tage of two or three pounds when the men enter the ring tonight. After he had finished his work yesterday he tipped the scales at 134 pounds even. Houck weighed 131% after getting out from under the shower.
 After the weigh-in hour this after noon, however. both men will take on weight and Cappelle will probably strip at 1S6 when he jumps through the -opes Houck expects to weigh between i33ia and 134.
 In a short bout, however, this diff ference of weight will not give Cappelle any advantage to speak of. Rather, he may find it disadvantage
 Tommy Chapple and Young Garcia bantamweights, are likewise in splen- did physical shape for their six-round semi final tonight. Both are expert enced boys and should put up a crack ing good bout. They are boxers first last and all the time, ana devotees oi the manly art will see d true enough exhibition of boxing.
