in the department and the declarations
Of Mayor Hague and F. X. O'brten.

Foreign ship captains are complain

being enforced by the New York
Health Department and the Port
Health Officer. Some, it was said yes

may be communicated by rats from
ships.
Vessels are required to submit to
fumigation or to moor six feet from

Say Union Destroys Efficiency
The resolution follows:
Resolved, THAT the members OF the
Jersey City Fire Department resign
from the Uniformed Firemen's Associa-
ton. Branch ~.
"That the charter Of the Uniformed
Firemen's Association, Branch ", of
the American Federation of Labor, be
surrendered and returned to lnterna-
tional headquarters at Washington.
"The reason for taking this action by
the firemen Of Jersey City Is that they
find a unionized Fire Department de.
stroys the efficiency and discipline OF
the department., and is also detrlment
to organized labor, inasmuch as they
cannot be true to the oath Of the union

Several Cases Regarding War
Time Prohibition This
Week

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE SUI
|preme court today consented to hear
on November 20, cases from New
York federal courts involving the
constitutionality of wartime prohibit
ton and the Volstead enforcement
act.
The cases came up on appeal from
the decision of Federal Judges Hand
and Knox who upheld the two laws
and will be heard along with similar
cases from Louisville where the
courts held against the war time act.
The cases. were appealed in the
name of Jacob Rupert, representing
the brewing interests. The govern
ment made no objection to the motion
to advance.
Chief Justice White today announc-
ed the supreme court would recess
from next Monday to December 8.
This makes it certain no decision on
the LIQUOR cases will be handed before
the latter date.

Similar TO Plumb Plan.

United Press Leased Wire Service.l
LONDON, Nov. II. Commenting
upon additional disclosures regarding
the governments proposal to the ma
tional union Of railway men revealed
by J. H. Thomas, president of the
railway union, in an address at Bris-
tol yesterday, the Daily News said
today: 1.-THE plan apparently repro
duees the essential features of the
Plumb plan" which aroused violent
opposition in the United States.
Premier Lloyd Georges proposal,
Thomas declared in his speech, pro-
yides for three representatives of the
union upon the railway executive
board. Thomas urged the union to
accept tho offer.
The unions representation would
be equal to that OF the managers
upon the executive board, he said. All
disputes would be referred to a joint
board of five members each as rep
resentatives of labor, the managers
and the public.
Appeals from the decision of this
board could be made to a board of
twelve with four members each for
the three groups.
The premier's proposal apparently
opens the way for substantial adj
vance in the democratic control Of a
great industry" the Daily News de-
clared.

Government Wins Case.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE gov
eminent in supreme court today won
its fight to take from the Southern
Pacific railroad valuable oil lands in
Elk hills.
The government charged that the
agents of the road swore falsely to
title to disputed lands contrary to act
of congress which granted the road
certain sections of land provided they
did not contain minerals. The roads
answered their agents had no way Of
knowing that the lands contained oil
and questioned whether the oil was
mineral within the meaning of the
act The district court decided for
the government and the appeals court
for the road "The lands at the time
the patents were issued were known
to be valuable for oil we believe" the
court said. Correspondence between
officers shows they believed the lands
had much oil value"

MAY BE WET
CHRISTMAS
Peace Issue Probably Settled by End
of November Thus Making
Few Days of Liquor
Selling.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. !
|, WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-=-lt is be-
ginning to look as though there might
be wet Christmas.
The peace issue, according to to-
days indications will be settled be-
fore the end of November. That is by
that time the treaty either will have
been adopted, or it will have been
killed and congress will pass reso-
luton declaring the war over.
In either case, as the wet hopefuls
figured 1t today, before the end Of this
month the way will be cleared for
President Wilson to issue his procla-
nation Of peace and lift the wartime
prohibition ban.
Millions of gallons of liquor, now
held in bonded warehouses will prob
ably be thrown on the market prac-
tically at cost II the vets hopes are
realized.
