by the statement made to him by
the delegation from the Brotherhood

What Can Be Done1

What can the government do?
There are plenty of laws ON the
statute books TO prevent combina-
tions in restraint of trade and to
prevent agreements TO keep prices
at fixed levels. The President could
invoke many powers vested in him
by Congress during the war or until
the Senate ratifies the peace treaty;
these powers are still in the hands
of the executive.

Coal for Europe - Nations Work
Together

Shipping and fuel representatives
of France, Belgium and Italy con-
ferred with Herbert Hoover, head Of
the International Relief Organiza-
tion, in Paris Monday and decided
to urge the Supreme Council of the
Peace Conference to appoint an Eu-
ropean coal commission TO co-ordi-
nate the distribution of European
coal in an effort to avert what
threatens to be a disaster.
Mr.. Hoover said that Europe's
coal production was 35 per cent be-
low normal, and that the United
States could not offer relief because
of the shortage of shipping. Dur
ing his address Mr.. Hoover said:
"The fate of European civilization
now rests in the hands of the coal
miners and coal mine owners Of Eu-
rope TO an equal if not TO a greater
degree than in the hands of the pro-
yiders of food and supplies during
the next year"

BRIDGE ACROSS ROGUE
UNSAFE FOR FOOTMEN


The Sixth street bridge across
Rogue river is and has been for sew
eral' weeks in an unsafe condition for
children, and in fact, all pedestrians,
due to the fact that the railing or
a portion of the railing is missing in
at least three places, one on the ap-
proach and two directly over the
water. The bridge should be made
safe at once.
A great Improvement could also
be made to Sixth street by the plac-
ing of one or two loads of gravel
or crushed rock at the bridge ap-
proach. The experience of every au-
tomobilist who enters the city from
the bridge is a severe Jolt as they

travel the road constantly are pre-
pared for the hole but strangers are
not expecting bump and the jolt is
apt to give strangers the wrong i'm

Washington, June 25.-A mans
right to store liquor in his home for
the long dry period after July stood
up today against an attack on that
provision of the prohibition enforce
ment bill before the house Judiciary
committee.
Near the end Of an all-day session
the committee voted down an
amendment which would have made
it unlawful for citizens to have
liquor in their possession, struck out
section which would have prevented
'use" by citizen of liquor in his
private dwelling, and decided that
in the matter of general enforcement
there would be no difference be-
tween wartime and constitutional
prohibition.
Even with this and other changes
the bill as 1t will be reported out
is considered as ''all embracing" So
drastic are its provisions. members
of the committee said. that while a
man may put a keg of beer in his
cellar, he may be. convicted and
fined If. for instance, he wears

ture Of the keg as an advertisement.
In a general consideration Of the
measure the committee made num-
Der OF minor changes. but the prin-
cipal fight was over the question Of
the right to home storage for per-.
sonal use.
