SOFT COAL MINERS ASK
FOR DISSOLUTION OF
RESTRAINING ORDER
TO TEST OUT WARTIME
PROHIBITION M COURT
Judge Walter Evans of Federal Court
at Louisville Will Hear the Ar
guments on Nov. II.

Louisville, Ky, Nov 6.-Judge Wal
ter Evans of the federal district court
here on Nov. II will hear arguments
on suit to test the war time prohibi-
tion act and the Volstead enforcement
law. He set this date following filing
of the suit late yesterday by Attorneys
William NJ Bullitt of Louisville and
Levy Meyer of Chicago, on behalf Of
Wright and Taylor and the Brown and
Forman Distilling companies of Louis
Vile.
The defendants are United States
District Attorney W. " Gregory and
Elwood Hamilton, collector of internal
revenue, for Kentucky
The petition, which seeks to prevent
interference with the sale of nearly a
million gallons OF taxpaid whiskey
owned by both companies, charges
that title one of the enforcement meas
ure relating to the duties of the reve-
nue. department to prevent the man
ufacture and sale OF whiskey is un-
constitutional in that Congress violates
the 10Th amendment by exercising gen
eral police power over a subject matter
not within its jurisdiction. Further, it
says, the war time prohibition act vio-
hates the 5th amendment, which pro-
vides that the government shall not
take private property without just
compensation.

'INSURGEN1" STRIKERS
AGREE TO RESUME
New York Longshoremen Will Submit
Their Case to National Adjust
ment Commission for
Re-Hearing.

New York, Nov. 6 The strike Of
10000 longshoremen which has tied up
port activities here for several weeks,
appeared TO have been broken to-day.
Tire deciding factor was the sur.
render Of the ''insurgent" strikers, who
promised Mayor Hylan they would re-
turn to-day at the old rate OF pay.
pending decision from The national
adjustment commission for re-hearing.
The insurgents who at one time
claimed more than 10000 members Of
the longshoremen's union, broke with
the international officers during the
strike. The international official
steadfastly refused to authorize the
strike and endeayored to induce the
men to return.
Within the last week, longshoremen
have slowly returned to work and. the
great congestion Of shipping was re.
lieyed to some extent Steamship own
ers would not hazard a guess today as
TO their approximate loss. Early in
the strike officials Of the United States
shipping board estimated daily loss
Of Sl,000O00 to 81 100000. On this
basis the cost would be between S25,.
100000 and S40,0O0,000.

In Day or So He Will Present Them
to Senator Hitch

Washington, d. G., Nov, g. Presi-
dent Wilson's views on reservations to
the treaty of Versailles will be given
to Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska. the
administration leader, at White
House conference within the next dsy
or two. Secretary Tumulty said to.
day he was arranging with Rear Ad-
miral Grayson, the presidents physi-
clan, for Mr. Hitchcock's visit
The Nebraska senator plans to lay
the entire treaty situation before the
president and give him his opinions as
to what reservations are likely to re-
ceiye the support of majority in the
Senate. The president in turn will say
what reservations will be acceptable to
him. Mr.. Wilson has repeatedly said
that no change in the treaty which
would require its renegotistion would
be acceptable.
Unofficial returns from 80 counties,
including all the wet centers and big
cities, showed wet majorities on all
four proposals and unusually large wet
majorities against the Crabbe prohibit
tion enforcement act and ratification Of
national prohibition.

MOTOR INVESTIGATIONS.
Vermont Secretary Of State Suspends
License of Cecil H. Page.

The yermtnt secretary Of state has
suspended the automobile operators IL
censc of Cecil II. Page Of Springfield
on the. grounds that investigation
shows the man was the cause of an
accident by attempting TO pass a team
while another car was approaching on
the right hand side Of the street
The secretary is compiling statistics
relative to the number of accidents by
days and months. The figures, thus
far compiled, show that 49 accidents
occurred in July, August and Septem
Der, in which teams were involved, and
that only dozen of these occurred at
night time
The secretary of state is iDveStigat-
inc the accident that took place last
Sunday night near Lyndon, when Way
land Pierce received cuts from glass
as a result of the automobile of Me-
Koy P. Ford of St Johnsbury running
into him. A team was involved in the
accident,
He has also investigated the acci-
dent in which Harry j NJ. McCaflrey
is involved McCaffrey is alleged to
have been operating an automobile
when suspension of McCaffrey's Ii
cense had taken place.
The reports of accidents received this
morning include two in Montpelier, one
being that of Lawrence H. Hedges of
Mortified, who collided with bridge
in Montpelier. 1t appears, that with
three friends. he was coming towards
the city and that his steering gear
broke as he entered the bridge, with
the result that the automobile went
into the side Of the bridge Both the
bridge and automobile escaped dam
age so that Mr. Hedges must have
been driving slowly. Stella Gomez was
knocked down by the automobile Of All
fred J. Doucette Of Montpelier. 1t
appears from the report that the child,
who is about four years old ran into
the street when Mr.. Doucette's car was
only IA few feet from it, and that the
child, although hit, according to the
report, escaped injury,

Grafton Mandamus Proceedings.

Benjamin Gates. state auditor was
directed in Vermont supreme court on
Wednesday to file answer 10 the man
damus proceedings brought against him
by Claude d. Grafton on or before Dec.
]. Grafton, soon after bringing the pro-
ceedings, entered the army Of the ma i.
tion and the auditor, according to the
information in court, has not answered
the writ so that now he is directed by
the court to do so.
In court during the afternoon the
arguments were made in the case of
Hamilton s. Peck VS., NJ. Louise La
Grande ct al, foreclosure case. In the
lower court the petition was dismissed,
according to the records and came to
the higher court on exceptions. The
case was to have been argued in the
morning but Roswell Austin did not
know the train left st. Adams at $3.50
o'clock now, so he missed his train
Wednesday morning.

tive TO the notes in the case of Track
vs.. karrick in Chittendeu county when
on Wednesday morning he asked II he
could see them He stated that he had
been advised by the clerk that they
had been left in his possession but
that they had been sealed. Mr.. Peck
thought they were for inspection. The
court ruled that he might see them at
the clerks office because they are being
kept in the vault and that they could
not be taken away. They are the notes
which Attorney Mckay Of Boston did
not want empounded because he
claimed that things of that nature dis

About 10 Inches Of Snow Fell in the

met difficulty More than one autoist
had to have recourse to horses TO haul
him out Of the bitches, especially be-
tween this city and the quarrying dis
trict
But the transportation problem was
only one of several, telephone service
and electric service being two other
serious situations. Locally, the tele-
phone service was hampered but a
trifie since all the wires in the city are
in cables either underground or over
head. The repairmen were, therefore,
able to devote about all their time to
the out of-town lines. Connections
from Williamstown and the quarrying
districts were not easily attained, due
to the fact that heavily laden branches
prevented communication, and it was
not until these distractions were To-
Gated by the men which, Of course,
required considerable time that the
condition was remedied The toll line be-
tween Montpelier and Woodsville was
out of commission greater part of
the day, made so by the falling of a
heavy limb which effected a bAken
down line.
Hand in hand toiled the telephone
linemen and the Tenney Service com
pany's men, and in this way coped with
conditions in much quicker time. No
less than seven electric wires were
down yesterday, necessitating for short
periods stop in the stoneshed activi-
ties. Superintendent 4. A. Harris with
large Cadillac touring car conveyed
the men about to locate the break
downs in the least time possible.
The Burnham meadow district was
held up for period of Is minutes and
later the Blackwell street and south
end sections came to sudden halt In
no case were these compelled to re-
main idle for a very large period Of
time. The electric cars ran partly off
schedule.
