(OAL CONFERENCE
MAKES PROGRESS
wage Scale Receives Considera-
tion Il and Amicable Adjustment
i Looked FOr-Injunction is
Not Needed.

Washington, Nov. 17.-There were
audiences of real progress today in
no wage scale negotiations between
,oal miners and operators of the CEN
t,al competitive field, although no
Meeting of the joint wage scale COM
n;ttees was held. The conference was
uostponed until tomorrow at the re-
mest Of the operators, who spent the
day preparing a reply to the demands
yesubmitted Saturday by the workers.
The operators were in touch by wire
With owners not represented here, for
the purpose Of obtaining their ap-
proval Of the counter proposals which
have now assumed definite shape. Re-
ports also were prepared to show the
/ effect that higher wages, taken in
connection with the suspension of pro-
duction, would have on coal prices this
winter.
With the nations visible coal supply
rapidly diminishing the administra-
ton is determined to bring about the
resumption of production without de-
lay, and intends to hasten the settle
|ment between operators and miners, it
was said Officials of the department
Of labor stated, however, that reports
TO the effect that the government
1 might take over the mines and oper-
ate them were without foundation,
Such action, they said, would be taken
|only as the last resort and after full
| DISCUSSION by the cabinet.
Meanwhile, in behalf of the central
field operators committees, a series
! d telegraphic reports from mining
centers was given out showing that
not a mine was operating in it's ter
/ |ritory.
Production was absolutely at a
|standstill in southwestern states, the
reports declared, and averaged only
about so per cent of normal in Penn
sylvania outside of what is classed as
/ the central competitive field. In West
sfglnia, however, production was
close to normal, except where held
pack BY car shortage.
The reports show that the court
injunction calling off the strike is
not being obeyed," said Thomas T.
brewster, chairman of the opera
s0rs scale committee in the central
territory.
The mine Workers have obeyed
!ne order of the court implicitly" said
resident Lewis of the Miners. "Its
mandate required that the strike or
yer be cancelled and revoked. That
sep was taken. The court has af-
nfmed the resembling order which was
snt out. Our every legal obligation

LIQUOR INTERESTS
GET ANOTHER JOLT
Chicago Federal Judge Decides
Prohibition War Time Act is
Observation-Disclosures Personal
Liberty.

Chicago, Nov. 17.-Liquor interests
were given another setback today
when Judge George A. Carpenter
handed down a decision in the United
States district court which held that
the war time prohibition act and Vol
stead enforcement act were constitu-
tional. Judge Carpenter announced
that Judge Louis Fitzhenry of Peoria,
ILL, had concurred in the decision.
In making the ruling, Judge Car
penter denied the suit for injunction
brought by Attorney Levy Mayer, re-
presenting Hannah and Hogg, whole
sale liquor dealers, to restrain United
States District Attorney Charles Cline
and julius F. Smietanka, collector of
internal revenue, from enforcing the
dry act and the enforcement law.
Under the fifth amendment to the
constitution which provides that legis-
lation restricting personal liberties of
individuals may be passed if the COM
munity as a whole is benefited, Judge
Carpenter held that congress was en-
powered to pass the two acts involved
in the case.
He held the two acts constitutional
because Rehabilitation of industries
mobilized by the war was not yet
complete, and that the country was
still in state of war, regardless of
General Pershing's statement that
army rehabilitation was complete,
and despite the presidents veto of the
Volstead act indicating that the war
was over"
Judge Fitzhenry is expected to
hand down his decision in Peoria to-
morrow.
Washington, Nov. 17.-While argu-
ments on the validity of the war time
prohibition act will be heard by the
supreme court Thursday, decision is
not expected before December 8, when
the court reconvenes after a recess
announced today to begin next Mon
day.
Meantime machinery for the en-
forcement of the act which has been
set up by the internal revenue bureau
is getting under way and is expected
to be in full operation before the end
of the week.
Should the supreme court hold the
war time act unconstitutional millions
of gallons of whiskey and wine would
be placed on the market Immediately
in the states which had not voted out
liquor before the operation of the
| federal act
