New York Situation.

NEW YORK, oct 31-Counsel for
the brewers will today ask the feder-
al court to set date for hearing the
application for an injunction to pre-
vent enforcement of wartime prohi-
bition. 1t is believed the hearing, the
most important thus far brought to
set for November or 6, and the
question from a legal standpoint may
be cleared up next week.
Elihu Root is expected to appear
for the brewers. While the action
was brought for Jacob Rupert, it is
a test case for all the liquor selling
interests They believe the Presi-
dents statement to congress in his
veto message, that the emergency
justifying wartime prohibition is at
en- end, will be a great aid to them.
If the injunction is granted against
the United States attorney and act
ing collector of internal revenue it
would end, in the opinion of the
brewers counsel, wartime prohibl-
ton. as well as the Volstead Enforce
ment Act.
One of the outstanding features II
to-day's development was the decis
ion of 1000 Of the $500 liquor deal
ers in Kings County, and 25O of the
700 in the Bronx, to close at A. NJ
to-day and remain closed until The
war ban is lifted The vote of the as
sociations of which they are member!
is understood to have been unanimous
and must be obeyed under penalty o
expulsion.

English High Taxes Cause
Much Land to Change Hands
Bu qha Associated Press.

LONDON, Sept. 17-England is
changing hands because taxes are so
high. landed proprietors cannot afford
to own and maintain their estates, ae-
cording to accumulating evidence of
the past few days
The crushing taxation which has
resulted from the war" said the no
tice sent by the Duke of Rutland to
his tenants, coupled with the great
rise in the price of all commodities
and labor, have placed such burdens
on my property as to compel me to
largely diminish the size of my es-
tate" The Duke of Rutland sold his
Hardy estates in the vale of Belvoir,
much to the regret of his tenants.
Brigadier General William Strong,
of Thorpe Hill, Peterborough, is
another landed proprietor who is
parting with his property. He ex-
planned to the villagers that he re-
gretted to do SO, but as one-third OF
his income now went in taxation, 1t
was impossible for him to maintain
| the hall and the estate.
Property of this class is being
bought by the newly-rich who made
their fortunes during the war. but
| in almost every instance each estate
! is sold to a number Of persons rather
! than being taken by one.

STRIKE TONIGHT, LEADERS SAY
STOP SHIPPING COAL
ORDER TO RAILROADS
HERE, REPORT TODA Y

In order to protect themselves by
keeping on hand sufficient supply of
coal with which to fire their locomo-
tives during the general strike of coal
miners which was scheduled to go into
effect at midnight tonight, it is under
stood that railroads in this city and
near here have received orders to ship
no more coal or to ship only to those
on their priority list.
AS the strike would mean the ces-
sation of coal shipments here to be
used in firing tn locomotives and be
cause of fhe uncertainty as to how
long it will be before the strike is set
tied, it is reported that in order to be
on the safe side no shipments or just
as few as possible are being made at
present.
The variety of coal not consumed
in the locomotives is still being ship
ped in some instances and at the
South Amboy docks this afternoon it
was said that tidewater shipping was
being continued. Several barges also
left the Lehigh Valley docks here,

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct 31:-A tem-
porary injunction restraining all
strike activities of the United Mine
Workers of America was issued in
the federal district court here today
on application of the United States
government. Judge Andersen signed
the order and the showing set forth
by G. B. AmeS, assistant attorney
general, that national disaster was
impending and on the broad general
grounds that the government has the
right to enforce its. laws and protect
its people from calamity.
The order was directed against
Frank G. Hayes. the incapacitated
president of the union; John L..
Lewis, acting president; William
Green, secretary ry-treasurer, and all
other officials of the organization.
1t took effect when served and will
continue in force until after the for
NAL hearing which Judge Andersen
set for November 8.
In presenting the petition Judge
Ames made it clear that the cause
will not involve the general right of
workmen to organize or quit work.
He said it would have no bearing on
other industries and merely involved
the right of labor during the war to
restrict or destroy the supply OF food
and fuel"

SETSPR PRICE
IN COAL.
Rules Set Up During War Gov
erning Margins of Profit Are
Re-eStabIiShed Today.
By The Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 31-An execu-
tive order fixing Maximum prices for
bituminous coal was signed today by
President Wilson. Prices of anthra-
cite are not affected.
The Maximum prices are fixed by
states and for prepared sizes range
from $3.50 a net ton at mine mouth to
$3.50.
Rules set up during the war govern
ing the margins of profits of middle
men and wholesale and retail dealers
were re-established and fuel Admins
traitor Garfield was given all the au-
thority to regulate production, sale
shipment, distribution, apportionment
and storage or use of bituminous coal
that .he had during the war.
1t was explained that while labor
naturally opposed government by in
junction in this case, the government
was moving for the public welfare.
Applications for injunctions will shift
the governments fight to the heart
of the coal field territory and actually
will mean the first offensive warfare
to prevent industrial chaos by the
closing of the soft coal mines, involv-
ing 100000 men.

will be held to keep in touch with

Drastic action has been taken at
the Port Reading Railroad Com
pany's docks and it is likely that sim
liar steps will follow at the Lehigh
Valley here and Pennsylvania docks
in South Amboy.
At the Port Reading docks prac-
tically all shipments of coal have
been ordered held up in order that
they might be assured of having suffi-
cient supply on hand to keep their
locomotives running until the strike
has been settled. Very few ship
ments are being made and these are
of only small quantities as compared
with the usual shipments from those
docks Those heading the priority
list only are being cared for in this
way.
1t was said at the Lehigh Valley
railroad offices here today that they
are continuing to ship hard coal, this
being the only kind which they make
shipments OF. No shipments of soft
coal are made at any. time, it was
said.

PLAN CLOSE Of
PEACE CONGRESS
May Complete Work in Paris by
End Of November

PARIS, Oct rS1-The. end of No
Vember may see the close of the Paris
peace conference, which has negotia-
ted the peace treaties with Germany
and Austria and has carried the nego-
tiations with Bulgaria well towards
completion.
Unless the conference can speedily
reach an agreement with Roumania
and compel it to discontinue its in
reference in Hungarian affairs there
seems little chance that a peace
treaty can be negotiated with Hungary
at present, in which case the confer
ence probably will close without max
ing that treaty.
The Adriatic question will not ne
cessarily prolong the life of the con-
ference, and there is no disposition
among many of the peace delegates
to drag out the conference much long
er for the discussion of the European
political questions involved in the
Roumanian and italian difficulties.
December 1 now is looked upon as
the latest probable date for the ad-
journment of the conference. Rou-
mania is sending a special delegate
with the conference and a definite
settlement of the Roumanian tangle
or the abandonment of the effort at ris-
ENHANCEMENT is expected very shortly.
Indications are that the Bulgarian
treaty will be signed within a week
or ten days. Then, the discussion
will begin with Roumania in the at
tempt to settle the questions arising
from it's seizure of Hungarian prop
erty and it's objections to guarantee
ing the rights or minorities which
was the cause of it's refusal to sign
the Austrian peace treaty.

: of 100000 Men

BIZ The Associated Press.
WASHINGTON. Oct. -31T-Disagree-
ing with War Department recommen-
dations, a permanent army of 100000
men, General John Pershing today
told a joint meeting of the senate and
house military committee that he
thought the number could be placed
at IAN outside figure of 275,000 to
100000 and possibly less" The cost
of maintaining a large army, he said
was an element, which in his opinion
would make it impracticable to set
the figure any higher.
General Pershing, who appeared at
a special session of the committee
which are considering a permanent
military policy said universal military
training was essential to prepared
ness.
The general said the regular army
would be sufficient to protect the ma
ton against a sudden attack and to
meet Americas international obliga-
tions both on the American continen,
and elsewhere, and that this should be
backed by trained citizen reserve.
Military training makes better cit
izens," he declared.
Its benefits should be extended to
all our young men. Through service
it increases the physique, it broadens
their, view of life and it's democratic.

Marriage Sancfity Imperiled
The establishment of 'family courts"
to meet the menace to the marriage re
laton presented by the divorce evil, was
recommended by Chief Justice Charles

Relations at Cincinnati, o., in an ad-
dress last night before the American
Institute of Criminal Law and Crimi-
nology, in session here in connection
with the annual meeting of the Amer

Marriage as an institution is en-
dangered in America today through the
divorce evil, and the only way to save
it is by the establishment of family
courts in which social evidence. as dis e
tinguishcd from legal will be con
sidcrcd," Judge Hoffman said.
"No scientific .faw has ever been
made on the subject of divorce. Di-
vorces are granted for certain causes,
but no effort is made to classify basic
causes.
