 Mir. Wilson is said to have formally presented definite proposal for settle inent of wage disputes which would sen dbituminous miners back to work before the country was in the throes of a coal famine. but it's nature was not disclosed. It was generally believed he suggested wage increase of about 3f per cent.

It was said he proposed an increase of approximate y .3l per cent. the difference between the cost Of living and wage increase figures announced by the secretary al the opening of the conference last week.
 An ultimatum served by the opera tors that their offer represented the maximum was resf1irnled tonight bs Mir. Brewster. who declared it could not be increased unless the govern ment says We should do it."

Lewis stated that the new demand for 40 per cent. wage advance for all sorts of work represented the margin be- tween the wage increases received by the miners since 1914 and the jump taken by living costs
 The mine workers also insisted that all local differences not covered by in- terstate agreement be referred back to the districts i'll which they originated for settlement.
 The offer Of the operators as finally rejected by the miners at today's ses- sion was slightly different from the terms submitted yesterday, MT Brew ster said. The operators stood fast on the amount of wage increase but agreed to waive demands for other changes in the present contract.

IN DIRECT CONFLICT WITH
 7t2 THE LAW IN MISSOURI

St. Louis. Mo, Nov. 21.-On the ground that beer of 2.75 per cent. all coholic content is not intoxicating, Judge John c. Pollack of the United States district court today handed down a decision granting a. temporary injunction to restrain the United States district court today handed down a decision granting a temporary injunction to restrain the United States district attorney and the col lector of internal revenue from inter fering with the manufacture and sale Of such beer by St. Louis brewers.
 Judge Pollack's decision while con- flnfng itself to ruling on 2.75 per cent. beer. calls attention to the fact that war was being waged at the time the constitutional prohibition amend ment was submitted by congress to the state legislatures and that congress at that time did not attempt to arrogate to itself the passage of a prohibition act as a war measure. The state leg islatures voted on ratification, the de- cision said. on the promise of congress that after the necessary number o1 states had ratified the amendment a year would be permitted to lapse be- fore it should be enforced by the gov ernment Congress therein recognized the rlgnlS or the states, even Tn wal | times, the decision said. and it had | not now the right to infringe on state 1 powers with reference to prohibition l enforcement.
 In passing the enforcement act, the 1 decision said, congress attempted tt i re-exercise war powers when the wal l emergency no longer existed.
 The decision further points out tha' l congress, in this instance, has passed I a law which does not pretend to con | cur with the state laws of Missouri but is in direct conflict with it." I
 says that the laws of Missouri d. not prohibit the manufacture of tn, I brewers product and that the brewers
 have paid large sums in+o the stat ] treasury from the proceeds of a busi
