CHICAGO JUDGE
SAYS LAW VALID
HANDS DOWN DECISION TO EF,
Feet FEDERAL PROHIBITION
ACT is CONSTITUTIONAL.
JUDGE FITZHENRY CONCURS
Judge Carpenter Declares Central Gov.
eminent Has Same Rights as States
to Prohibit Manufacture and
Sale of Alcohol.

Chicago.-Federal Judge Carpenter
handed down a decision declaring the
wartime prohibition act constitutional
and denying the injunction asked by
Chicago liquor dealers. Federal Judge
Fitzhenry concurred in the decision.
Referring to the national prohibit
ton act, Judge Carpenter in his de-
cision said:
IF the state of Kansas under its po-
lice power had the right to prohibit
the manufacture and sale of ardent
spirits, so had each one OF the other
AZ states in the Union. II all of the
states had the right, granting the fed
eral government under the constitu-
ton while prosecuting the war was
entitled to exercise police power nee.
essary and proper for the efficient
carrying on of the war, there is no
reason why the central government
could not provide against the manu-
facture and sale of intoxicating liQ-
uors in all the states, and that with
out compensation to the owners and
dealers"
The Judge further said:
Congress had the power before the
eighteenth amendment was passed to
make police regulations in the aid of
war. This amendment certainly did
not destroy this right. If this amend.
ment had been passed in January, 1917,
with the one year OF grace for the
liquor interests to readjust them
selves and their businesses, could any
one in reason contend that congress
had not the power in April, 1917, to
prohibit the manufacture, sale or even
use Of ardent spirits?
81 cannot agree with the decision
of Judge Brown in Rhode Island that
the eighteenth amendment necessi.
tates the declaring of war and ma
tional prohibition acts unconstitu
tonal.
What congress has done is in the
interest OF public welfare and public
morals. II plaintiff, not entitled to
compensation, the prohibition laws be-
ing valid, may sell and distribute their
produce among people of the country,
the damage to the general welfare
has been done and never can be UNI
done. II the action OF congress was
wise, and so we must assume 1t to be,
believing the prohibition acts to be
lawful, even were the question here
involved doubtful, we would have to
resolve the doubt in favor Of the gov.
eminent.

LABOR WINS IN
R. R. LEGISLATION
NATIONAL HOUSE REJECTS PRO-
POSED PLAN FOR coMPUL-
sorry ARBITRATION.
NO DIRECT VOTE is TAKEN
Those FaVoring Plan Of Unions Won
BY Large ajoritles-commere
Committee Suggestion ls
Defeated.

Washington. Railway workers
scored complete victory in the House
through incorporation Of their plans
for voluntary Cancellation OF labor dis
putes in the Esch railroad bill. The
House rejected plan Of compulsory
arbitration. including an anti-strike pro-
vision, and also the plan written into
the bill by the Houes interstate com
MERGE committee, which was described
as a middle ground" between that
adopted and compulsory arbitration.
No direct vote on the anti-strike pro-
posal was taken. On both votes the
proponents OF the unions plan won by
large maiorities. First, by vote Of
Isl to rs the House substituted the
unions plans for compulsory Grbitra-
ton, and then, 161 to 10S, cast aside
the committee plan for that Endorsed
by the workers. Final action came
after practically the entire day had
been devoted to debate OF the three
plans, and after adoption of the work
ers plan renewed effort to include an
anti-strike provision met with defeat
through parliamentary tactics
The plan approved by the railroad
employees, which was drafted by Rep
resentative Sweet, Iowa, and offered in
the House by Representative Ander-
son, Minnesota, would legalize the ma
chinery used by the railroads and their
employees before and during the fed
eral control for the settlement OF dis
putes, with commission on labor dis
putes being added to consider cases
from the joint boards that first con-
slider them. In brief, the plan divides
the railroad workers into three classes,
and for each 1t establishes an adjust
ment board and an appeal commission.
No penalty against strike or lockout
is imposed, and membership on all six
Of the boards would be restricted to
the workers and their employees, and
divided equally between them.
Both the roads and the employees
would be directed by the plan, and
written into the bill, Ito exert every
reasonable effort and adopt every
available means to avoid an Interrupt
ton" of traffic, and to this end the
three boards of adjustment would be
created, these being substantially the
same as those existing under the rail-
road administration.

Washington.-Inf was re-
ceived at the State Department that
Gabrielle D'Annunzio, after declaring
his occupation of cara in Dalmatia,
where he landed with 1900 troops, re-
turned to Fiume and was received
with an enthusiastic demonstration.
D'AnnunZio, according to the State
Departments news, has declared his
purpose to occupy other territory I'M
der discussion, including part of Is
tria. which, in his opinion, should be
created an independent state, which
would relieve Italy of responsibility to
the allies. D'Annunzio left an officer in
command Of the troops he took to
cara and regards the city as in his
possession.
The exploit of Gabrielle D'Annunzio
who sailed from Fiume to cara, in
Dalmatia. under the eyes and guns Of
the Italian fleet, is only explainable,
in the opinion OF state and navy Of
ficials here, on the theory that the
Italian fleet had orders not to inter
fere with the warrior-poets adventure.
DAnnunzio and his whole staff were
on destroyer, which easily could have
been captured or blown out of the wa.
ter. The Italian fleet commander did
not even interpose a squadron between
D'Annunzio and the harbor OF lara.
One Of the navy officials who has
kept in touch with this latest departure
In Dalmatia, said that it was very well
known that D'Annunzio had taken
the temperature" OF the navy and army
officials and men who we're expected
to pen him up In Fiume, and found
that 1t was just as high as his own.
The American officials. however, be-
lieve that as the news from Trieste
is that D'Annunzio went to cara to &C.
cupy 1t merely as a base from which
to stir up the whole Of Dalmatia, there
will be some important news from
there soon.
With the Italian fleet itself pa.
tiently friendly to him and the Ameri.
can fleet under Rear Admiral Andrews
a hundred miles away. D'Annunzio
was free to act. II was otherwise at
Trau. where some OF his followers
landed some weeks ago and where the
American forces went ashore TO pre-.
vent fight between D'Annunzio's fol-
lowers and the Juso-Slavs.
The comment Of navy officials is
that there will be no more Incidents
like that at Trau. They say the sit.
uation Is plainly one for handling by
Italy, in whose zone the incident took
place.
