SPECIAL Despatch TO TIE srx.

TRENTON, July 30.-Cnder n decision
announced to-day by Judge Rellstab and
Judge Davis the constitutionality of war
time prohibition will be tested In the
United States District Court for New
Jersey in equity proceedings brought In
the name of William Duhne, O. saloon
keeper of North Hudson. To enjoin
United States District Attorney Joseph
l.. iodine from enforcing prohibition.
Some time ago the Federal Court re-
fused to grant temporary injunction
against the District Attorney and an
appeal from this refusal was taken to
the United States Circuit Court of Ap-
peals. The case came up to-day on a
motion to dismiss the bill OF complaint
on the ground that enforcement of a
criminal statute is not properly review
able in equity proceedings.
In successfully contesting this view
George w. Tucker Of the New York bar,
representing Duhne and sos other liquor
dealers in Hudson county, contended
that property right was involved and
hence that equity proceedings could be
maintained as was done when the Fed
eral child labor law was under attack.
The court sustained this view, and in
multiplicity of equity litigations might
result, remarked that this could not in
fuence the court as any person has the
fundamental right to be heard and to
select his own defence. The District
Attorney will have twenty days within
which to flo an answer.

Court for Arbitration When
Men Return.

PROVIDENCE, R l., July 30.-By a de-
cree issued in the Superior Court by
Judge Doran late to-day authority for
the receivers of the Rhode Island Com
pany to arbitrate their differences with
the Garments Union Is provided on con-
dition that the strikers resume work
1t does not specify when the car
men shall return to work. but reads
that when" they return and accept one
or two plans outlined in the decree the re-
celvers shall submit to arbitration three
questions, how much the wages shall be,
the date for that wage TO take effect.
and what working conditions shall be.
The arbitrators, who would be either
the Utilities Commissioners acting as In
dividuals or citizens OF the State chosen
by both sides and the third member and
chairman chosen by the Governor. would
determine what 10 proper evidence TO be
considered and decide the questions in
dispute. The decision OF the majority
would be deemed an award. which. in
any case, would be subject to approval
OF the court.
Objections of the union on these two
points were again indicated tonight
when tho officers. although declining to
discuss the court action or probabilities,
pointed to the absence OF their counsel,
John J. Fitzgerald, at to-daya hearings
as the answer to the unions attitude
They would not say whether the subject
would come up again for vote by the
men. The opinion OF union members
was, without variation, that the men
would reject the newest proposals en-
tirely.
