BELIEVE RUM RUNNERS ARE TAKING LICENSES Numerous Thefts From Au- t0mObiles Traced to
 Liquor Activities.

Hartford, Oct. 15.-Within the past few weeks an unusually large number of thefts of operators icens- es and registration cards throughout the state have been reported to the state motor vehicle department.
 There seems to be an epidemic of these thefts' was the statement made today by Deputy Motor Vehicle Com missioner John A. Macdonald. The licenses and the cards were stolen from cars and from pockets of coats left in the cars.
 MT. Macdonald thinks that it is possible in some instances to trace the thefts to whiskey runners whose licenses and registrations were re- voked. The attention of the motor vehicle department was first directed to the thefts by the increase in the number of applications which have been received for duplicate licenses and for registration cards. The state police department will be noti- fled of the thefts and special steps will be taken to suppress the prac- tice.

WON'T INCREASE HOUSE
Failure of Members To Vote For Addi- tionaI Members Believed To Be End of Agitation Just Now.

Washington, Oct. 15.-The second failure of the house within year to increase it's membership beyond 435 virtually means there will be no addi- ton, according to the view expressed today by leaders of the fight to keep the number at it's present total
 Having rejected overwhelmingly a proposal to jump the total to 4S3, the house last night refused to make it 4S3 sending the bill back to committee with the certainty that it could not be report ed again this session. The 4S3 meas ure it was explained could not have reached the house except for the action of house committee in voting to re- port. it so as to get it on the floor. These two committee members at the same time filed minority reports against the increase.

 Set = Unless Executives
 Give in Union Leaders Predict Nation Wide Tieltp

Chicago, Oct. 15.-Leaders of the railroad hrotherhoods assembled here today to consider the challenge of the railway executives in proposing a further wage reduction of approxi mately 10 per cent in the face of the strike vote just authorized by the railway men because of the 12 per cent reduction of last July.
 The brotherhood chiefs indicated that an immediate walkout-at least on some roads-was under considera- ton following yesterdays conference of the railwaymen's leaders with the executives after the executives had announced they would apply to the railroad labor board for wage re- duction.
 Looks Like Walkout.

 The final decision is only the mat ter of a few days" said Lee. What else Is there left to do? Since the men have already voted for a walk out I don't see how the roads can have the nerve to suggest another cut"
 Thirty days notice of the contem- plated wage reduction which is tech- nically a return to the wage prevail ing prior to the increase of July, 1920, is expected to be announced today or Monday by the railroad executives. Reports were current today that the railroads would announce the wage cut effective in 30 days, without ref erence to mediation to the labor board.

 UPHELD BY JUDGE City of Chicago Loses Its $10,-
 00O,00O Suit Against Tribune MOST IMPORTANT DECISION
Result is Far Reaching as it Was First Time Any Municipality Had Tried pOrate Acts.

Chicago, Oct 15.-Judge Harry Fisher today sustained the demurrer of the Chicago Tribune to the $10,- 100000 libel suit brought by the city of Chicago. He declared the city had no cause for action and denied it the right to amend it's petition.
 The city brought identical suits against the Tribune and the Daily News, asserting the papers had printed false statements, regarding Chicago's financial standing, and thereby injured the city's credit.
 Freedom of Press
 Judge Fisher declared the portions of English common law and statutes which restricted the liberty of the press. had not been inherited by this country This action" he said, lis not in harmony with the genius, spirit and objects of our institutions
 The decision was of far reaching importance to newspapers as the suit was the first on record on which a municipality sought to restrict the right to criticize it's corporate acts.
 England No Precedent
 Judge Fisher said that the case in which the city of Manchester, Eng, sued in 1891 was of no value in the present case because while the Eng fish count held that municipal cor poration may sue for libel the reasons for that finding were not stated and the decision of foreign tribunal in itself is not a precedent. He held fur ther that English municipalities are more in the nature, of private corpora tions and that therefore the question whether government bodies can sue for libel could not have been consider ed in the Manchester case.
