MANY ORDERS FILLED

Louisville, KY, Nov. IA. Two
local distilleries sold whisky openly
in Louisville to-day at SIS a case.
regardless of the wartime prohibi-
tion law. Hundreds of orders, filed
before July l, when the wartime
law went into effect, it was said, were
being filled by these distilleries,
which resumed sales following the
granting of an injunction to them
yesterday by Federal Judge Evans,
restraining the Government from in
terfering with the sale of nearly
million gallons of floor stock"
whisky.
Wright and Taylor and the Brown
Forman Companies, which received
the temporary injunctions, expected
to sell all their whisky in a hurry,
it was announced. They made their
sales, however, with the knowledge
that they are liable to prosecution,
according to District Attorney w. V.
Gregory, if the Federal Supreme
Court reverses Judge Evans in a de-
cision it is expected to make Novem-
ber 20.
Other DistiIIers Wait
other Kentucky distillers appar-
emily were disposed not to ask for
injunctions and would await the Su-
preme Courts decision as to the war
time prohibition laws constitution
ality before trying to dispose of their
whisky stocks, all of which is said
to approximate 40,000,0O0 gallons.
The case before the Supreme Court
was appealed TO 1t by the Govern
ment from a previous decision of
Judge Evans, who held both the war
time law and the enforcement acts
were unconstitutional and granted
the Kentucky Distilleries and Ware
house Company an injunction forbid
ding interference by the Government
with the sale of nearly 69,000,000
gallons of whisky.

PUT in HANDS
OF JURYMEN
Prosecution Is Pressed by the
Brother of Man Said to Have
Received Shoddy Funeral

room and may agree upon a verdict

a brother of the dead man, to fur
nish casket and shroud and bury

buried the body in a rough pine
box instead, and when the body was
exhumed it was found that the man
had been buried wearing a suit of
underwear.

District Attorney Michael E. Stroup
as the prosecuting attorney. Mr..

jury this morning after all the testi-
mony was heard, and Judge Kunkel
began his charge when court con-
vened this afternoon.

Without Commitments
Success of the conference of coal
miners and operators depends on all
parties coming into the parley with
out commitments" Fuel Admins
traitor Garfield said to-day.
DIR. Garfield arrived here this
morning at the invitation of Secre-
tary Wilson, who desires his assist
ance in the conference which VIII
begin this afternoon with the labor
secretary presiding.
Although the strike of miners has
been called off, DR.. Garfield retains
all the wartime powers which the
President again conferred on him
when the strike was called.
John l.. Lewis, president of the
United Nine Workers of America,
and the union scale committee and
other union officials arrived here to-
day.
The question of the termination of
the Washington wage agreement oil
1918 can be disposed of through mu-
tual agreement along with the de-
mands of the miners for sixty per
cent. increase in pay and shorter
hours, it was believed.
Announcement by the executive
committee of the operators of the
central competitive field, in a for
Washington agreement is one of the
matters ito be determined by the
conference" was taken generally to
mean that the operators do not in
tend to stand pat on their conten-
tion that present contracts remain
in effect.
The statement disclaimed that the
message from 7. T. Brewster presi-
dent of the Coal Operators Associa-
tion in the central competitive fields,
inviting the miners to a conference
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 acknowledgment of the bind
ing force of the contracts. and point
ed out that the text of the telegram
was almost identical with that of the
call for the Buffalo conference.
Garfield to Be Present
Miners arriving here to-day for
the parley attached significance to
the announcement by Secretary of
Labor Wilson that Fuel Administra-
tor Garfield had accepted his invi-
tation to be present at the opening
of the conference.
The conference will begin at $50
o'clock owing to the fact that John
l.. Lewis. acting president of the
United Mine Workers of America,
and other participants will not arrive
before that time.
The first question to come before
the conference will be whether the
proceedings shall be open. Secre-
tary Wilson said he will recommend
that newspaper representatives be
admitted to the conference hall.
Must Not Restrict Output
In keeping with his recent an
nouncement that operators as we'll
as miners attempting to restrict the
output of coal would be prosecuted,
Attorney General Palmer vest erday
sought further information about
companies at Birmingham, Ala,
which the miners claim have dis
charged and turned back men who
were returning to work in compli-
ance with the court order of Judge
Anderson.
