STOCKYARDS MEN OUT
PACKERS AT CHICAGO FACE A
COMPLETE TIEUP.
Embargo Is Placed on Shipments as
Cattle Drivers and Others Demand
Wage Boost.

Chicago, March 30.-Complete tieup
of the union stockyards is faced by
packing companies as result of what
they brand an unauthorized strike of
nearly 1000 cattle drivers, feeders,
handlers and weighers, who are de-
handing a fiat increase of $50 month.
An embargo on all live stock ship
ments except horses was declared by
the Chicago Junction railway, with the
result that not a carload of stock was
delivered at the yards. Stock in tran
sit will be handled as conditions per-
nit, railway officials said.
According to stockyards officials, the
men walked out without warning. The
officials claim that the strike is not
authorized by the accredited union and
is in violation of the agreement enter
ed into between the men and the COM
panies providing that no strike should
be called for one year after the war.
The men on strike are those who re-
ceive live stock as it is brought into
the yards, including feeders, cattle
handlers, weighers, drivers.

DRY LAW
HIT IN NEW PLEA
New Jersey Declares Amendment
Exceeds Nations Authority.
SAYS ACT IS TOO RADICAL
Attorney General in Argument Before
Supreme Court Asserts Law De-
prives Commonwealth of Police
Power Without Consent.

Washington, March 30.-The con-
stftutionality of the prohibition amend
ment to the United States constitution
and portions of the Volstead enforce
ment act were argued before the
United States Supreme court again in
connection with consideration of the
original suit brought by the state of
New Jersey and appeals from that
state and from Wisconsin. Because of
the number of cases, arguments were
not expected to be concluded before
tomorrow.
The cases involved virtually the
same questions as the Rhode Island,
Kentucky and Massachusetts, cases re-
Gently presented to the court, but the
original New Jersey suit embodied a
more extensive attack upon the valid
ity of the eighteenth amendment and
parts of the enforcement act than had
heretofore been brought to the courts
attention.
Right to Brew Involved.
The other New Jersey case, brought
by Christian Feigenspan, a Newark
brewer, and the Wisconsin suit, while
attacking the validity of the amend
ment, involve principally the right to
continue the manufacture of beer al
legged to be mountaineering, but con-
tanning more than one-half of l per
cent of alcohol, the maximum allowed
under the enforcement act.
AttorneyGeneral McCran of New
Jersey argued that the right to
amend the constitution is a right of
the people Of the United States as dis
tinguished from the people of par
ticular state; that the people of the
United States have only national pow
ers, the police power being reserved to
the states, and the right of internal
police being a right of the people of
New Jersey over which the people of
the United States have no control.
This right may not be taken from them
without their consent
Overstepping of Power Charged.
His brief declared that three-fourths
of the states had not ratified the
amendment in the constitutional sense.
1t also declared that there was no
right in congress to legislate outside
the words of the amendment; that the
words beverage purposes" sufficiently
described the limit within which con-
gress should legislate and that the
term Intoxicating liquors" was its
own definition.

Thousands Are Made Homeless.

thOuSanoS Are MADE 6OfneISSS.
Thousands of persons were made
homeless by destruction of dwellings
throughout six states and outside re-
lief was necessary for a number of
places.
The twisters which swept through
Michigan and Ohio and Indiana appar-
emily were distinct from the Illinois
storm. In each instance, however, it
was the same tale-wrecked houses,
prOstratiOn of wire communication and
many killed.
A dozen or more Michigan cities
were cut off from the rest of the world
and it was reported they were in the
path of the twister which swept north
eastward across the state from Lake
Michigan. The storm was said to have
been particularly severe in the vicini-
ties of Kalamazoo, Battle Greek, Lans-
ing, Bay City and Saginaw.
In Ohio and Indiana, however, the
IornadO'S fury apparently was wreaked
on rural districts. None of the large
cities was struck. according TO reports.
Sweeping over the open country an6
semi-isolated districts, it was believed
a number of persons had been killed.
and much property damaged.
Big Damage in Central Illinois.

GOMPERS To HEAD
GREATEST UNION
Big Railway Unions Join Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.
ALL FRICTION AT AN END
Organization Will Have an Enrolment
of More Than 5000, 700 Members
Considered Most important Ac-
ton in Movements History.

New York, March 30-Following
years of friction between the big
Four of the railroad unions and the
American Federation of Labor, it was
announced here that the two bodies
will join forces.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, who
is at the Hotel Continental, said the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
and the Order of Railway Conductors
would be admitted to the federation
very shortly" The other two organi-
cations of the big Four" probably
would join later, he said.
100000 Members.
The merger is considered by union
leaders as the most important in the
! history of labor movements. More
than 100000 members will then be
enrolled with the American Fedora
ton of Labor, and when the remain
ing two branches of the Big Four
are taken in the number will be near
100000.
The decision of the railroad unions
TO bury the Ratchet and combine with
the federation is expected TO put an
end to future useless strikes" 1t is
also stated that the joining of these
labor forces will force out all extrenl-
ism in the ranks of organized labor.
Great Surprise.
The news came as Il great surprise
to labor leaders, although the move
started nearly year ago. The CON
sensus of opinion was that it was a
triumph for GOmpers, who heads the
most powerful labor organization in
the world.
