INVOKE WORK STATUTE
AGAINST MINERS CHIEF
President of Louisville Local Held
in $500 for the Grand
Jury's Action.

MORGANTOWN. w. Va. Dec. IL
The West Virginia wartime law
which compels every able-bodled man
between the ages of sixteen and sixty
years to work at least thirty-six
hours week, has been invoked here
against Charles Boswell, president OF
the Louisville local union of tho
United Mine Workers Of America

The charge against Boswell was

2.75 BEER LEGAL,
VETS WILL ARGUE
Supreme Court Is to Be Asked Today
to Make Ruling on
Volstead Act.

More attacks in the Supreme Court
on wartime prohibition are to be
made today.
The issue is whether sale Of 2.75
per cent beer is illegal under the war
time act. The stand Of the liquor in
terests will be tnat before the Vol
stead act was passed. defining in
toxicating liquor as any beverage
that contained y of / per cent or
more of alcohol, the Government had
no right to prohibit the manufacture
and sale of 2.T5 per cent beer. The
claim is that the Government all dur
ing the war accepted any product of
this amount of alcohol as non-intoxi-
eating.
The liquor interests do not admit
that Congress had the right, under
the Volstead act to fix the maximum
amount of alcohol in q non-intoxicat-
ing beverage as y OF / per cent. but,
to make their present case stronger,
they claim the Government had no
authority for it's move against near
beer before the Volstead law was
passed. The court therefore must al
low the sale of near beer made or on
hand during this period.
Elihu Root again will appear for
the vets, being counsel with Williar,

peal from New Orleans, where the

GARFIELD MAY QUIT
0VERSTR|KE ENDING
Labor Joyous Over Defeat Of
Fuel Chief-See New In
dustriaI Principle.

The settlement of the bituminous
strike may cause a breach within
President Wilson's official family.
In some quarters 1t is predicted
that DIR. Harry Garfield's resignation
as Fuel Administrator Is now only
matter of a few days, since his au-
thority has been curtailed by the new
commission proposed by the Presi-
ient.
Labor Sees Victory.
Labor is firmly convinced that IL
has won a great moral victory in the
settlement. and rejoices over what it
calls the "sidetracking" of Garfield.
The miners go back to work under
conditions which virtually promise a
new order Of things in the industry
q commission with practically manda-
tory power over wages, prices, work
ing conditions, profits. etc In this
body labor sees the initiation OF a new
principle in industry, one for which 1t
has been contending for years.
The operators are disconnected over
the turn events have taken, and keenly
resent further Government control
over their affairs, especially control of
a sort which may permanently estab-
Hsh Federal regulation as means of
preventing such a crisis as that
through which the nation has just
passed.
1t is expected that President Wilson
viii appoint the Governments repre-
sentative on the tripartite commission
as soon as Attorney General Palmer
returns to the city. so that work can
be opened Immediately. The commits
sion Is asked to report before Febru-
ary 1, IL possible, and its determina-

That is why the long, narrow skirt is hanging in the balance. Fashion ex- perts agree that it rarely is seen in proper proportion, hence the predic- tion is that it will give way to the model of shorter and fuller line with the coming of another season. The woman who is individual in dress,
 however, will give scrupulous atten- tion to such points as the becoming length of her skirt, proper height for
 her waistline and becomingness of cos
 tune accessories.
 Favorably commented upon are the frocks of English print, class of cot tons becoming more numerous since
 the signing of the armistice. In some
 effects the patterns is widely scattered and resembles somewhat the shot silks and shantungs. They require
 very little trimming, as in the case
 of a one-piece dress in ecru with fig
 ures of dark brown. The dress fas- tens at the side, buttons extending from the shoulder to we'll below the

 deeply cut and filled in with vest of tucked organdy. A triple belt Of brown velvet ribbon holds in the full

 Sat1n-hSur ed challlS complned With foulard or taffeta is a stylish idea and one sees it in many of the most origi- nal of the seasons costumes. Some times a third matcrial--crepe geor- gette or chiffon cloth is added for flare sleeves and yoke. A model with a long Russian blouse is attractive, the color scheme being blue. There is a suggestion of green and old rose in the floral design of the challis, how ever. Dark blue georgette forms the sleeves while foulard in the same shade is used for the deep founce in the foundation skirt, the upper sec tion being of lining. Most of the ul- tra-modish blouses are of the straight type, gathered into restraining bands at the hips or held in with a belt.
 Women who love the dainty and practical will find much pleasure in wearing the new organdys and dimi- ties. On a pretty rose pink back
