A Agreement Reached OE1
 Pay For Freight Men
AND ADMINISTER ALTON AN NOUNCE NEW PAY SCHEDULE EFFEC-
 TIVE DECEMBER

Washington. Dee. 15-Under an agreement between the railroad ad- ministration and the four Brother hoods of train and enginemen, an nounced today, time and a half for overtime in slow freight service will become effective as of December 1.
 All arbitraries and special allow ances formerly applicable between terminals were eliminated, but special allowances for switching and similar work at initial terminals were pre- served. These, however, will be at the old rate.
 Allowances for switching and de- lays at the final terminals are pre- served payable at the former rates where the work is performed prior to the overtime period, the announce ment said. ''These allowances have been agreed to in the past for reIiev- ing men of work which has not been considered 6 part of their regular duties and correspondingly it is felt that the same conditions existed in connection with the payment of time and one-haIf for overtime

$175,OOO SUIT AGn.NST CLARK
 UP FOR TRIAL
Expect Action Will Be Very
 Hotly Contested.

The $l75,0OO suit brought by Sam uei Friedman of this city against former State Senator Hon. George B. Clark, is assigned for trial before Judge Webb in the Superior court tomorrow. This case, which involves the ownership of real estate on East Main street, has been postponed sev- eraI times and because of the large amount involved the suit will be hot Iy contested.
 Friedman claims he had an agree ment with Clark May ?, 1918 where by il was understood that Clark would buy Friedmans property on East Main street, between Evitt's lane and Nichols street. for $160,OO0. He de- cIares Clark refused to carry out this agreement. The court is asked to order Clark to accept a deed to the premises.
 Clar1l's defense is that on the day after the agreement was made, Fried man went into bankrutpcy. The de fendant says he tried to get deed of the property from Attorney F. E. Morgan, who was trustee of Fried mans estate, but without success Clark alleges that Friedman also re- fused to give him deed and he de- nies that Friedman tendered him a deed as the complaint states.

EXPECTING PEACE BETWEEN SOVIET
 AND ESTHONIA
Indications Powerful E'n tente Influences Against
 It.

Dozpat, Esthonia, Friday, Dee. 12.-- U5y the A. P.)---UnIess some unfore- seen development occurs peace be- tween FSthonia and Soviet Russia probably will be an accom- p1ished fact in the near future. Desite denials to the contrary, there seemingly is nc doJot that the object of the negotia- tions which have been going on daily is not merely an armtstice but has in .<-w full peace along the F@l er:al Hines framed by the BoIs!lavihi. Tha present main aim of the soviet seems 60 De to faIlow up the defeat of Gen araI Yudenitch by making it impossi- lie fer him or any other military leader 10 organize a new campaign in E1Ethonian territory against Soviet Russia.
 For weeks the BOlsheviki have been concentrating troops on the Narva front, where extremely heavy attacks are now in progress, and the fear is rot concealed that Esthonia may be occupied if that country refuses to conclude :. pc2ce. On the other hand the indications seem to be that pow ereuI entente influences are operating to prevent a peace, so that Esthonia, as a well-inforned observer puts it, is -'between the devil in the Gufse ot the BoIsi1eviEi, and the deep blue sea- with it's b1ockadinz squadron.

SIGNING OF ARMISTICE DID ACKNOWLEDGMENT WAR
 POWER OF CONGRESS
GOVERNMENT DID NOT APPROPRIATE LIQUOR BY STOPPING DOMESTIC SALE-BINDING ON STATES
 AND FEDERAL GOVT.

Washington. Dec. 15-The wartime prohibition act was held constitutional today by a unanimous decision of the Supreme Court.
 The decision deciding ap- peaIs from Kentucky and New York involving the constitu- tionality of the war time prohi- bition act was read by Justice Brandeis.
 No decision was rendered in the oases involving the constituIonalty # the Volstead law, the prohibition enforcement act, framed to carry out the intent of the prohibition amendment to the constitution.
 The court will render opinions again next Monday at which time the beer cases are expected to be decided. after which the court will recess un- il Jan. ,.
 Upon the courts decision on the prohibition enforcement law will de- pend whether the federal government has at hand any legal means for making the amendment effective.
 In deciding the question the SU- prene Court also dissolved injunctions restraining revenue officials from in. terfering with the removal from bond of about 7O,000,0OO gallons Of whiskey valued at approximately ST5. 900. coo held by the Kentucky DistilIeries and Warehouse co. of Louisville, Ky.
 The signing Of the armIstice did not abrOgate the war powers of con- gress. Associate Justice Brandeis said in reading the decision of the court.
 Justice Brandeis said the govern ment did not appropriate the Iiqu0c by stopping it's domestic sale, as the way was left open for exporting it
 Justice Brandeis also called atten- ton to the continued control of the railroads and reassumption of poweFs' by the government relative to cal and sugar under war acts to show that the government continues to exerc- -se various was powers despite the sign ing of the armistice.
 The constitutional prohibition amendment is binding on the federal aoyernment as well as the states and supcrsedes state laws, the court de- clared.
 Justice Brandeis said there was nc dent Wilson's statement in his mes sagc Eetoing the prohibition enforce ment act that the war had come to an end, was 2. proclamation announcing the termination of the war.

3,0O0,O0O,OOO FRANCS FRANCE
 MUST SPEND

Paris. Dec. 15 - Some 5000, O,O00,- 600 francs is the amount that France will have to spend in the URFed States during the coming yeilr on wheat, cotton. oats, coal and nyGclin- cry, according to Eugene Schneider, who has just returned from a mission on behalf of the government to the United StGtes. in an interview in Le Journal.
 The American state, as a govern ment,'' NI-e Schneider is quoted as having said, cannot and will not ad- vance this sum. The day of state loans to a state is over. It is essen tially a war measure, and it's continu- alton would paralyze private initia- tive.
 Furthermore, the situation among our overseas allies is far from bein. as brilliant as people might think Unforeseen strikes have suro-7'---e public opinion, and President Wilson's illness is impeding the whole machin- cry of government. And there are the discussions of the peace treaty Those discussions should be regarded in their true light-that is, that the opposition reported is not solely polf- ticaL For the Senate's Republicans the League of Nations represents a breach in the constitution.
 This does not mean that the American government will not help US. It will support every effort We make to obtain credit by private is sue. It may subscribe an important part thereof itself and place at ols: disposition the machinery which foated it's liberty loan.''
