A great many calls are coming in

prevent further offense. Very often

a session at police court. In a num-

they want 1t done without and dis

the complainant. Officers attend to
the matter to the best OF their ability,
they report but the offences are re-

run at large indefinitely unless strong
err measures are resorted to, say the
city authorities.

received letter of thanks signed BY
w q Lee, president Of the Brother
hood Of Railroad Trainmen. to thank
you most heartily for your position.
and toassure you that your action IN
this connection is appreciated Z. Each
member has his letter, and he may
have use for it before his individual
campaign gets well under way.
Labor leaders admit a bull In their
startegy when the conference report
on the railroad bill was before the
House for adoption or rejection, which
was only 9 days before the date. set
by the president to turn back the
roads TO their owners. And they
frankly blame nobody else but their
own leaders in the House. Their
blame is bitter, and they make
charges which are too serious to be
repeated here. For instance, when
their leader moved to recommit the
bill, he included no specific thing to
be done to the bill after its recommit-
tai. Had his motion prevailed, 1t
would have let down the bars to every
sort OF consideration. Some Of the
leaders Of labor say that It was the
understanding that the motion should
have been made to recommit for the
purpose Of substituting the Anderson
labor amendment, in place Of the con-
ference compromise which took its
place. Had that been done, as Shad
been agreed on, the motion might
have, and probably would have, car
ried, and the House would have re-
inserted the Anderson motion. 1t had
previously adopted the Anderson
amendment by large majority. There
wasn't the faintest chance to kill the
bill, to rewrite bill, none whatever
for government ownership. with only
nine days in which to get the law pass.

the roads.
All the West Virginia members
stand on the same footing in respect
to the tribunal Of union leaders that
is now squabbltng over a division OF
"friends" and enemies. Their
friendship for, and support Of labor,
and labor's Friendship for, and sup
port of them, has never been ques.
toned before, and it may not be that
it is being questioned now. But they

COURT UPH0LDS
PROHIBITION BILL
LIQUOR INTERESTS LOSE LAST
FIGHT, WARTIME DRY LAW
BEING APPROVED.
Decision Rendered by Supreme Court
Reverses Contention That Measure
Was Outside Of Emergency
Powers Of Congress.

WashingtOn.-By unanimous decis-
ion, consttutonality Of the wartime
prohibition act was sustained on Mon
day, December II, by the supreme
court. The opinion, given by AssOci-
ate Justice Brandeis, held in effect,
however, that the war-invOked "dry"
period still may be terminated by pres
idential proclamation OF demObiliza-
ton.
In rendering its opinion the court,
however, did not act upon the validity
of the VOlstead prohibition act or on
appeals involving the alcoholic content
of beer leaving those cases to future
opinions. Mondays decision practic-
ally swept away all hopes of wet"
Christmas. as the possibilities of the
wartime act being repealed before con-
stitutional prohibition becomes effec-
tive one month hence, were considered
remote.
The cases decided were those of the
Kentucky Distilleries and Warehouse
company of Louisville, Ky, and Dry
| foOs, Blum and company of New York,
instituted for the purpose of compel
| ling the government to release whiskey
from bond.
In both cases the court denied con-
tentions of Elihu Root and other at
tOrneys for the distllers that the act
| in violation of the constitution takes
private property without just compen-
satiOn, that the period of the war
emergency for which the act was
passed had terminated. that the law
was an interference with the state
police powers and an undue exercise
of the war powers of congress.
Congress did not intend for the war.
time act to terminate on the conclu'
sion of the war, but at the end of the
period of rehabilitation, in the view
| of the court, which held that the
conclusion of the war clearly did no,
mean cessation of hostilities."
The wartime act. the court alst
said, is not confiscatory, asserting thai
more than nine months were giver
distillers to dispose of their stocks
which time the court believed to b.
adequate. The act also was not re
pealed, the court held, by the prohi
bition constitutional amendment
which, ii asserted, is binding not onl!
in peace but also in war times.
