PRO ENFORCEMENT
LAW IS VALID IS
CLAIM Of PALMER


Washington, Nov. 13--Attorney
General Palmers position with re-
spect to enforcement of wartime pro-
hibition has in no way been altered by
court decisions in Rhode Island and
Kentucky, it was officially stated to-
night at the department of justice.
The governments contention that the
time law is valid, it was added

decision has been handed down by the

straining order, there was nothing 10

covered by the order. Others did not
agree with this belief.
With regard to the effect on the

the date of which the prohibition
amendment to the constitution goes
into effect Until the number of
states ratifying the amendment falls
below thirty-six, the department will
not concern itself with the changes in
their identity, according to the opin-
ion expressed by the officials of Mr.
Palmers staff.
Reports of a new attack to be made
by anti -prohibitionists in an effort to
stave off constitutional prohibition
have reached the department of just
ice from several sources. This as
sault is expected to be based on the
reversal in Ohio's stand, it was said.
Officials, however, said they felt sure
of their ground. None believed that
more than re-issuance of the proc
lamation of ratification could be
forced while a majority held firmly to
the suggestion that SO long as thirty
six states remained in the dry col
umn the government need take no
heed of the names of the states.

LID IS TORN OFF
AND SALE Of REAL
BEER IS RESUMED


Providence, r. L., Nov, 13.--Follow-
ing the entry Of a Gecree in the United
States court today enjoining federal
officers from enforcing the war pro-
hibition law, saloons in this city and
state began at once the sale of four
per cent beer. Outside of Providence
saloon keepers continued to sell as
long as their supply at hand lasted,
but in this city the police commits
sion at 8 p. m. notified every dealer
to stop the sale of anything stronger
than one-half of one per cent
The commissions order stated that
although the decree had been entered
the police would not allow the four
per cent to go on sale until after the
case had been heard in the court of
appeals in Boston.
Following the entering of the decree
Judge Brown refused to grant a su-
persedeas which would have acted as
a stay to the enforcement of the or

United States District Attorney
Harvey A. Baker announced that he
would take an appeal to the United
States court of appeals in Boston and
II was later learned that the appeal
will be entered next Tuesday. Be-
fore an appeal from Judge Browns
decision can be heard by the circuit
court in Boston il is probable that the
whole question of the constitutionality

SOUTHERN COLORADO
MINERS RETURNING
TO THEIR OLD JOBS

Trinidad, Colo, Nov. l3.-The
atmosphere in the southern Colo
rado coal fields cleared perceptibly
today with the return of a large
number of miners to their old
places following the receipt by To-
cal district officials of the United
Mine Workers of America of Off
cial notification from Indianapolis
calling of the strike. The Colo
RADIO Fuel and Iron company re-
ported an additional number of
men at work in their camps in
Huertano and , %nilnas coun-
ties. The Off SShis COM
pany repeated sement
of yesterday that - Spd
Starkville mines, clos Ssso D
tember on account of - w Y
strike, will resume operate Va
soon as a sufficiently large nj. -
ber of men report for work.
Officials were gratified by two
developments contained in reports
from the various adjacent dis
tricts.
One was the large number of
men who reported for work in
Fremont county which have been
idle, and the showing in tonnage
increase for Wednesday, the larg-
est days output since November
/. Wednesdays production in the
Trinidad and Walsenburg districts
was 4,6SS tons.
The tension of the coal strike
was visibly relaxed today and inn
proVement in the situation was
noted by business men and citi-
zens generally not to mention the
miners themselves, large numbers
of whom spent the day in town
with their families, taking in the
moving picture shows. The pre-
fiction seemed general that condi-
lions in and about the coal mines
would be close TO normal by the
first of the week.

cases of smallpox at the Indian pueblo
of Santo Domingo, thirty miles north

will submit quietly to the vaccination,
although the Indians there have rep
utation of resisting sanitary measures.

Drilling In a Hitherto Peace

I
| Holbrook. Ariz., Nov. lS,--With a
simple ceremony which was attended
by large numbers of the residents of
| Holbrook, and representatives of COM
| panies engaged in the development of
the prospective Fields, the Zuni oil
company spudded in its first well in
| the heart of the Painted Desert on
! Sunday. That this company was
enabled to spud in at all this fall was
] due to the ceaseless effort of the com
pany's field manager, William Wes-
/ ley, who has been identified with OIL
development both here and IN Russia
for the last thirty years In hither

Painted Desert, one of the country S
scenic wonders, the clank of an oil
drill is being heard for the first time.
No Stoppage of Drilling.
The Painted Desert, as does this
section of Arizona, will have its share
| of cold weather this winter, but Mr.
| Wesley declared yesterday that he
anticipated no stoppage of drilling on
account of frozen pipes or other OBJ
stacles placed In his way by the cold
1t is thought probable here that IL
oil lies beneath the drill of the Zuni
company, it will be obtained at shall
low depth, probably between one
thousand and seventeen hundred feet.
The Zuni company is drilling in 4
section hitherto not under drill, north
east of Holbrook, seven miles from
the main line of the Santa Fe railroad
1t is equipped with a standard drill
ing rig
1t is not thought probable that the
Allen Oil company, which is backed
by an eastern syndicate, will com
mence active operations until in the
spring, due TO weather conditions An
announcement to this effect, how
ever, has not been definitely made,
but it Is understood here that it will
be highly improbable that a company
would brave the northern Arizona
winter to commence operations.
Drill Shows OIL Signs.
The Adamana Oil and Land com
pany's drill is now at a depth of 1,775
feet in a blue lime formation, which
is very hard and ii is thought proba

The Apache Oil and Development
company, which has moved its rig to

PROSPECT BRIGHT
FOR SETTLEMENT
Of COAL STRIFE
Both Factions Are Hopeful
That An Agreement viii Be
Reached at Conference Be-
ginning at Capital Today,

Washington, Nov. 1S.-Coal miners
and operators from the nations btu
minous coal fields will enter into ne
gotiations here tomorrow for a new
wage agreement, with the question of
the time OF termination of the Wash
ington agreement of 1918 apparently
as the chief stumbling block.
Both miners and operators on the
eve Of the conference at which the
points in dispute in the recent strike
are expected to be settled, were hope
full, however, as TO the outcome and
expressed the belief that the question
of when the WASHINGTON agreement
terminated could be disposed of
through mutually agreement along
with the demands OF the miners for
so per cent increase in pay and short
er hours.
Announcement by the executive
committee of the operators of the CEN
trail competitive field, in a formal
statement tonight that the Washington
agreement is one of the matters ito
be determined by the conference" was
taken generally to mean that the op-
orators do not intend TO stand pat on
their contention that the present con-
tracts remain in effect during the "du-
ration of the war;" or until March 81,
1920, in case a satisfactory settlement
is made with the miners on that and
othed points.
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1919-11-14
Operators May Yield Ground.

The statement disclosed that the
message from Thomas r. Brewster,
president of the coal operators asso-
citation, in the central competitive
fields inviting the miners to con
ference ito negotiate a contract to be
In force upon the termination of the
contract now In effect" was an at
tempt to "entrap the miners into a
tacit acknowledgements OF the binding
force of the contracts, and pointed out
that the text of the agreement was al
most Identical with that of the call
for the Buffalo conference
II was said by those in close touch
with the situation that the operators
were going into the conference tomor-
row in conciliatorv spirit, and would
not insist on the Interpretation that
the war is not over although their
stand has been supported by the pro-
nouncement of the administration and
the mandate of Federal Judge Ander-
son at Indianapolis.
Miners arriving today for the par
ley attached signficantN to the an
nouncement by SeerS sSy Of Labor
Wilson that Fuel Administrator Gar
field had accepted his invitation to be
present at the opening of the confer
ence. No explanation Of the role DR..
Garfield is to play was given other
than the announcement that as 1t was
through his influence that the Wash
ington agreement was negotiated, his
presence was logically to be expected.
There was speculation as to whether
the fuel administrator with revived
war powers, might not be able to ex
ercise his authority in a similar man
ner on this occasion.

Conference Begins at 2.SO.

DIR. Garfield will not arrive until to-
morrow morning, but at the fuel ad-
ministration offices here it was said
that Dr. Garfield's opinion might be
asked as to how much of the burden
of increased cost of production of coal
in case wage advance is agreed to,
the public should be called upon to
bear.
The conference will begin at 2:30
o'clock instead of at II o'clock, the
department of labor announced to-
night, owing to the fact that John L..
Lewis, acting president of the United
Mine Workers of America, and other
participants will not arrive until after
noon. on account of the storm in
northwestern states, a number Of mine
officials and operators are not expect
ed to arrive before saturday
The first question to come before
the conference will whether the pro-
ceedings shall be open. Secretary
Wilson said today that he would rec
ommend that newspaper men be ad-
mitted to the conference hall.
