mer local legislation for that island
which provided for local prohibition
until specified period after tho end
Ing of the war. Similar legislation Is
pending in the colonial council for
the islands Of st. Thomas and St.
John.
The treaty of sale by which the
islands were transferred from Den
mark to the United States provided
that laws in force at the time of the
transfer should remain in full force
and effect until congress enacted
special legislation for the islands.
This has not yet been done. In the
meantime the constitution of the
United States, In all of it's provisions,
Is not applicable to the islands and
the eighteenth amendment has no
meaning there.
AS war measure the colonial
councils, the local law making bodies,
passed prohibition acts to be en-
st. Thomas, where champagne sold
for a dollar a bottle and other liquors
were equally inexpensive. and the
two other islands gradually became
dry. Merchants In St. Thomas whose
business is largely that Of supplying
ships stores have contendsd that pro-
hibition was one OF their greatest
handicaps while the sugar makers In
st. Croix were deprived OF lucra-
tive trade In an important bypro-
duct OF sugar when they were forced
to cease making rum. With war pro-
hibition removed by local legislation.
rum making has already been re-
sumed.
Indirectly. however, the Virgin
Islands are feeling the force Of the
United States prohibition laws. Pro-
hfbition Director Donaldson has re-
fused to permit the shipment Of al
cohol to st. Thomas from here to be
used In the manufacture OF bay rum
unless manufacturers bind themselves
to denature their product SO that 1t
cannot be used for beverage purposes.
The manufacture Of bay rum is one
OF the chief industries of st. Thorn
as and st. John.

IDENTICAL cars were still on track
seven days later.
Mine operators say they were
forced to idleness many days each
week lending to the strike OF the
miners which recently tied up the
mines just when the farmers were

same time before the strike in
Christian county, at Clarksdale and
at Willeys, two trains of coal cars
totaling 50 cars were reported empty
at both first and last days Of the
count
.At Bristol, Kendall county, thirty
eight cars were unmoyed during the
entire week. At Dakota, Stephenson
county. twenty loaded box cars stood
on track all OF the seven days.
"If wo may take the total number
OF freight cars Of the country on De-
cember 81, 1918, as a basis for COM
