BURLESON REMOVES
ELEVEN CLERKS FOR
POLITICAL ACTIVITY

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-Albert S.
Burleson, postmaster-general, Wednes-
day ordered the removal of IL clerks
in the Chicago postoffice for having
solicited or caused to be solicited sums
of money from the public and for
having published or caused to be pub
lIshed false and slanderous state
ments relative to the postal service
The clerks whose removal was or
dered by the postmaster-general are
Pierce E. Butler, Fred Anderson,
Solomon A. Cohen, John j. Stewart,
Harold Hoffman, Jay J. Adams, Fred
erick C. Albrecht, John ]. Byrne,
Thomas J. Drury, Leo E. George and
Frank r. Halas. .-..t
Evidence obtained by postoffice in

that the Chicago Postoffice Clerks un-

lions of 500 from a number of bust
ness men who were patrons OF the

"The acknowledgement said that
such practices were in violation OF a
warning given by the department in
1918 and consequently the removal
was ordered lin conformity with the
notice promulgated at tlaC llme
The postmaster-General made public
the report of inspectors, which says:

public, uncalled for and reprehensible
AND was continued or renewed both In
their meetings and in the public press
after we had interviewed them and
expressed our opinion fully to them in
regard to the matter.
We believe their conduct in this re-
spect fully justifies removal, but in
the matter of the soliciting of contribu
tons from the public there is unde'
nable evidence of distinct and fla
grant violations of Section III of the
postal laws and regulations, which
have not been responded to satisfac'
torily and cannot be condoned.'

Washington, March 4.-The state
Of New Jersey filed today in the
United States Supreme Court a bill
of complaint asking that the pro
hibitiGn amendment and the Vol.
stead enforcement act be declared
null and void, Joseph A. Lanigan,
assistant attorney general Of New
Jersey, filed the bill OF complaint,
which was drawn by Attorney Gen
eral McCran by the authority of
Governor Edwards, elected on a
wet" platform last November One
of the objects of the suit is to pre-
vent United States Attorney Gener-
al Palmer and Internal Revenue
Commissioner Roper from enforc.
ing the Volstead act in New Jersey.
Attorney General McCran, of New
Jersey, will appear in the Supreme
Court to proceed with the suit. New
Jersey charges that the 18th amend
ment is null and void for these rea
sons:
That the 18th amendment Is
not proper under article five of the
constitution.
"There is no power in congress to
propose an amendment regulating
conduct and morals, and that ar
ticIe five permits only such amend
ments as alterations or additions
within the scope of the constitu-
tion.
"That there is no power in the
states to ratify an amendment such
as the 18th.
"That two-thirds of the members
OF both houses Of congress did not
deem such an amendment neces-
sary,' within the true intent anil
meaning of article five of the con.
sHtution.
"Tlst the prohibition contained
in the amendment is legislative
under article one of the constitution
and not properly an amendment un-
Tor article five.
That as a legislative mates it
was not properly passed by con
gress and submitted to the presi-
dent Of the United States and 1t IS,
therefore, void and of no effect
Martinsburg W Va evening journal. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1913-1920, 1920-03-04
BILL SAYS CONGRESS
DID NOT PROPERLY
RATIFY AMENDMENT

THAT in o. states the legislature
had not ratified it as provided by
the constitutions Of such states
md that, therefore, three.fourths Of
the states had not ratified 1t in the
constitutional sense.
The 81 states are South Dakota.
Oregon, Nevada, Montana, Okla
homa, Maine, Missouri, Michigan
Arkansas, Colorado. Arizona, Cali
fornia, Ohio, Nebraska, North Da
kota, Washington, Mississippi,
New Mexico.
That the alleged 18th amendment
establishes a GENERALIZATION of pow
er and authority without the con
sent of the people Of the state OF
New Jersey, and Is unalterable and
unreformable at all times by them.
md Is therefore inconsistent with
fundamental purposes expressed in
the preamble of the constitution
TO form a more powerful unioa
and to secure the blessings Of lib
erty and posterity," and establishes
a precedent whereby no powers
will be reserved to the respective
states as provided in Article one Of
the constitution, because the re-
serve powers of the several states
may be destroyed under the guise
and pretense of amending the con
stitution.
