The murder case which aroused so
much interest in the proceedings of the
district court was postponed yesterday
for April 10th. The prisoner in his tes-
timony before the court disclaimed the
responsibility for the murder which was
not caused by the blow he inflicted: but
by subsequent battery by Mr.. Martin
he alleges.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-The contro-

charges of Senator Watson, of Georgia,
with respect to the hanging and shoo--
ing of American soldiers in France and
the brutalities of officers toward men
took new turn to-day. The movement
to discharge the special committee of

collapsed, and instead of this a modi-

adopted which throws the doors wide

of American officers during the World

whether soldiers were hanged without
court martial and men were shot by
officers failed.

away from the district, but returned

was. They all used to live in the same

Writ Went Too Far Is Up

CHICAGO, Nov. (By The Associa-
ted Pressl.-The check-off system of
holding out union dues and assess-
ments from coal miners pay, against
which an injunction was handed down
by Judge A. B. Anderson, of Indianap-
oils, will continue in operation until
further order Of the United States
Court Of Appeals, that court held to-
day in suspending that part of the in

AN appeal hearing was granted the
uni~n for Wednesday, November 16.

counsel for the union, presented the
history of the case briefly, pointing out
the possibilities of enforcement. Vi une

tual demand that q legal contract be
broken. He pointed out that the check
Off was a matter of contract between
the miners locals and operators, with
the consent Of the individual miner.
Glasgow declared it was Beyond the
power of the international union to
prevent disturbances by locals, and
said it was his belief that an imme-

was the only means Of averting "inter-
Controversy Reviewed
Mr.. Glasgow told the court that the
present controversy had begun in the
filing of bill by the BorderIand Coal
Company, operating in Kentucky, but
shipping into other states, against the
union, its officers and several coal COM
wages established in, the central COM
petitive district were to be spread into
West Virginia, tending to create a
monopoly of labor by the union and in
restraint of trade.
The lawyer said that the bill charged
that this check-off system was a part
OF the conspiracy to unionize West
Virginia. The union counsel asked
sufficient time of Judge Anderson, he
said, to prepare reply to the charges.
Judge Anderson then sought to get
my promise that no attempt would be
made to unionize West Virginia." At
torney Glasgow continued. II could
not make such promise in good faith,
as | had no means of carrying it out.
He also asked John L. Lewis, president
OF the union, to make the same prom
Use, but Mr.. Lewis had no power to do
so. He thereupon granted the injunc-
tion restraining the union from using
funds. in unionizing or attempting to
unionize miners in West Virginia"
Mr.. Glasgow expressed his opinion
that Judge Anderson "went too far"
inasmuch as the check-off system is
part OF contract
He should have limited the injunc-
tion against expenditure of money to
unlawful means of spreading unionism.
Here he undertook to rip up by the

by which money is collected for per-
