LOCAL ORGANIZER
TAKES ACTIVE PART
IN The LABOR meet

Robert f. Graham, district labor or
ganizer of Richmond, played an impor-
tant part in the national labor con-
gress being held in Chicago when he
made a motion which was carried, that
no business be taken up in the con-
gress until decision was made In the
Mooney case.
Mr. Graham said that he tried many
times to get the floor but that this oc-
casion was the only one in which he
was able to make himself heard. He
said that when man was through
speaking a hundred men would rise to
their feet and 1t took half an hour to
get them quieted so that one man
might be given the floor.
Mr. Graham said that there were
approximately 1000 delegates there
representing four million workmen.
The galleries were thronged with spec
tators.
He said that there never was con-
vention in which the needs OF the
workers every place were discussed.
Among the delegates was Jap,
anese who sat in the convention with
full authority from Japanese workers
to act in full harmony with any action
that the American workers might
take. This man said that the Jap
anese workers were in full accord
with American workers and stood
ready to act as they did, even If II
came to strike.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Railroad
administration officials said today
higher express charges would be col

The law specifies that state TAXA

effected by government control of rail

brewers will succeed in having the
prohibition constitutional amendment
declared unconstitutional. They say
that any attempt to nullify the law
will fail.
Prohibition workers asserted today
that they understood the liquor ele-

the ground that fifteen states which
ratified the amendment provisions de-

all legislation action. The attorneys

prominent Anti-Saloon worker. will
allege in a suit which they will bring,
that the ratification of the amendment
in these states is null and void.
Anti-Saloon leaders said they had
made a careful study of this claim
and pointed to Article V of the federal
constitution which provides that the
legislatures or state conventions are
the only bodies which can ratify an
amendment to the constitution of the
United States. In the case of the
prohibition amendment, they said, con
