HAT the yolstead Prohibition Enforcement blL'
known as the National Prohibition Act, is IN
constitutional, in so far as it provides Tor me
continuance of war prohibition. They know as
most American citizens know, that 1t is oi3-
criminatory and unjust. Nevertheless the prev

mass upon it. A suit will be brought to test the
constitutionality of these provisions, and every
effort will be made to have a prompt hearlh8'
TT HE original war prohibition measure was
enacted ten days after the war had ended,
as declared by the President himself. The pres
ent act imposes its unexampled and oppressive
provisions upon the American people almost a
full wear after the last shot was fired in the
great conflict, and when the millions of men
who were summone to sustain our cause upon
the high seas and upon the battlefield have re-
turned to the pursuits Of peace. Yet in its i'm
mediate effect and application it is founded up
on a ~pretense of actual and existing war neces-
sity. The annals Of legislation disclose few in

 The Rt. Hon, W. Adamson, the labor loader in the British Parliament ques- tions whether the so-called Jaw of sup ply and demand" Is the controlling fac tor in business He believes it is the productivity of labor. This confirms the oplnlon of that eminent Journalist of London, formerly of New York. Pome roy Burton, that the chief error of British trade unionism has been it's de- liberate polict of restricting output and opposing the introduction of lahor-eov- ing machinery, while the more efficient American workmen advocate an oppo- site course. MT Adamson conclusion is in line with that of President w. c, Teagle of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey. He believes that the true value of labor Is the wealth it pro- duces, and the less it produces, the less there is to share in the community. He says. There is no problem in industry which may not be successfully solved" and he refers to the fact that in his corporation. with over 11.000 employees, "the various wage increase and adjust ments made during the last year have all been settled in joint conferences be- tween the employees and the manage ment and in conformity with the an nounced policy of the company of pay ing at least the scale of wages pre- vailing in the localities in which the plants are situated" The importance of these wage decisions is indicated by the fact that during the year $5,0o0,- 900 was added to the company's pay roll Such evidence confirms MT. Tea gle's conclusion that problems of in dustry are not necessarily beyond so- lution MT. Teagle's great industrial in- stitution has followed the right way of doing things.
