TERMINAL OFFICIALS
TO SEE UNION LEADER
L. A. Sterne Hopes Strike Of Mail
and Baggage Handlers May
Be Avoided.

Officials of the Washington Termi-
nal were to confer with Organizer L.
A. Sterne of the American Federation
of Labor this afternoon in an effort
to adjust the dispute over wage in
creases demanded by station plat
form freight handlers and truckers at
Union station. These terminal en-
ployes are members of Baggage and
Mail Handlers Union, Local No. 1906,
and have demanded an increase Of II
cents an hour.
Dissatisfaction among members of
the organization, Mr.. Sterne pointed
out today, has reached such point
that drastic action is contemplated.
However, he said, he had urged them
to defer any contemplated action I'M
til the monthly meeting, which is
scheduled for August 10. By this
date it is believed the wage dispute
will be amicably settled.
Organizer Sterne said that the bag
gage and mail handlers at the termi-
nal are organized SO per cent. and if q
strike vote should be passed they
could tie-up baggage moving out of
washington through Union station.

AWAITS REFUSAL
!. OF POLICE TO ACT
Revenue Bureau May Test
! Maryland's Stand on VOL
/ stead Law Enforcement.

1t developed today, upon inquiry at
the internal revenue bureau, that At
torney General Palmer probably will not
be asked to render an opinion on the rub
ing made by the attorney general OF
Maryland forbidding federal officers to
enlist the aid of state police in enforc-
ing the Volstead act Instead, it was
stated, the bureau will wait for some
specific instance wherein the state Off
Gals refuse to take part in the federal
dence there probably will be based a
test case.
OF National Importance.
The situation in Maryland is said to
BE nationally important, for it brings up
a question significant in every state OF
the Union. The internal revenue bu-
reau is enforcing the Volstead law large
ly upon evidence turned up by the state
or city police. Without this co-opera-
ton, the federal officials are seriously
handicapped, it is stated. Prohibition
Commissioner Kramer recently stated
that the Washington police. for instance,
had given the greatest cooperation pos
sible and without their aid the drive
against bootlegginG here would not have
been so successful.
While unwilling to give an official
opinion on the Maryland situation until
he has read the state attorney general s
ruling, A. D. Van Buren,. in charge of the
ment, said he did not believe the Mary
land case, as reported in the newspapers,
would be upheld.
., Every Citizen Responsible.
Every citizen, it is pointed out, is
e3eld responsible for the enforcement OF
a federal law. For instance: A by
ISLANDER can be called upon by police
man to help him stop a fight. If he
srefuses. he is liable to prosecution. The
sQuestion then arises, can state officer
refuse to aid a federal officer who calls
supon him to enforce federal law, ap-
splying in that state as well as In any
Estate of the Union?
Police in Maryland have been eau
6oned that while they must actually en-
force a law when violation taxes
place before their eyes," they cannot
be called upon to enforce the law when
the evidence has been gathered by fed
seral officials. In other words, they cannot
take part in a raid planned by federal
officials on a residence or plant supposed
10 be violating the prohibition law.
Loopholess Found in Law.
While this case is being left to further
developments. the legal branch of the
internal revenue bureau is at work
patching up" some Of the weaker points
in the Volstead law which have become
apparent in the work of enforcement.
OF course, these '1oopholes" will not be
made public, but it is intimated there
are several through which evaders of
the prohibition laws can legally escape.
When Congress convenes, it is antici-
tpated there will be some amendments to
the existing laws, framed to catch those
who SO far have been skillful enough to
escape.
