Washington, Dec, 15.-President
Wilson's statement that he had mo
compromise or concession Of any
kind in mind" and that would
make no move toward disposition
Of the treaty, but would continue
to hold senate Republicans respon-
sible for the delay in its ratifica-

Revived Saturday by a proposal
of Senator Knox, debate on the

sumo much of the time Of the SEN

though leaders declared the White

Both sides were in accord on the
view that regardless Of compro-

nounced today, time and half for
overtime in slow freight service
will become effective Dec. l.
All arbitraries and special al
lowances formerly applicable be-

but special allowances for switch
ing and similar work at initial ter
minals were preserved. These,
however, will be at the OIL rate
Allowances for switching and
delays at the final terminals are
preserved, payable at the former
rate where the work is performed
prior to the overtime period" the
announcement said.
These allowances have been
agreed to in the past for relieving
men of work which has not been
considered q part Of their regular
duties and correspondingly it is
felt that the same conditions existed
in connection with the payment of

Washington, Dec. 15.-Justice
Brandeis' decision upholding war
time prohibition In part follows:
THE war power Of the United
States is subject to applicable con-
stitutional limitations; but the
Fifth amendment imposes in this
respect no greater limitation upon
the national power than does the
14th amendment upon state power.
It the nature and conditions of .
restriction upon the use or DISPOSE
tion of property is such that a
state could, under the police pow
er, impose it consistently with the
14th amendment without. making
compensation, then the United
States may, for q permitted pur-
pose, impose a like restriction con-
sistently with the fifth amendment
without making compensation; for
prohibition of the liquor traffic is
conceded to be an appropriate
means of increasing our war EN-
cheney.
Fixed Period Of Sale.
There was no appropriation Of
the liquor for public purposes. The
wartime prohibition act fixed q
period of seven months and nine
days from its passage during which
liquors could be disposed Of free
from any restriction imposed by the
federal government. Thereafter,
until the end of the war and the
termination Of mobilization, 1t per-
mits an unrestricted sale for ex-
port and, within the United States,
sales for other than beverage pur-
poses. The uncompensated restric-
tion upon the disposition of liquors
imposed by this act is Of q nature
far less severe than the restrictions
upon the use Of property acquired
before the enactment Of the pro-
hibitory laws which were held to
be permissible in cases arising un-
der the 14th amendment. The ques-
ton whether an absolute prohibi-
tion Of sale could be applied by a
state to liquor acquired before the
enactment Of the prohibitory law
has been raised by this court, but
not answered, because unnecessary
to q decision. But no reason ap-
pears why q state statute, which
postpones its effective date long
enough to enable those engaged in
the business to dispose Of stocks on
hand at the date Of its enactment,
should be obnoxious to the 14th
amendment; or why such . federal
law should be obnoxious to the 9Th
amendment. We can not say that

"It is conceded. that the mere
cessation of hostiiities under the

pend the power Of congress to re-
sort to prohibition Of the liquor
traffic as q means Of increasing our
efficiency, that the support and care
Of the army and navy during de-
mobilization was within the war
emergency; and that hence, the act
was valid when passed, The con-
tention is that between the date of
its enactment and the commence
ment OF these suits it had become
evident that hostilities would not
be resumed; that rehabilitation
had been effected; that thereby the
war emergency was removed and
that when the emergency ceased
the statute became void.
