Washington. February 27.-Present railroad rates on news print paper and other stock papers are seriously interfering with the sales of rhese products, T. T. Webster, representing the Pulp and Paper Traffic league, testified today at the interstate com merce commissions hearings on gen erai rate levels. In behalf of the paper industry he petitioned for the removal of all increases given rail- roads in 1920. By this, he asserted, the commission would force the car riers to make reductions in their op- erating expenses which would cor respond to reductions made by the arrangements of other industries. MT. Webster said he represented POS paper mills operating in various parts of the United States.

washington, February 27.-Proee- cutioh of employment agencies which are ''exploiting the people and prey ing upon the unemployed" in connec- tion with prospective operations at the Muscle Shoals power and nitrate projects, was recommended today by Major General Beach, chief of army engineers, in letter to Francis 1. Jones. director general of the United States employment service of the de- rartment of labor.
 The letter of General Beach was sn reply to communication from Director Jones enclosing copies of ad- vertisements appearing in the press throughout the country stating that there was possibility of employment for large number of industrial workers at Muscle Shoals in the very near future and soliciting an enroll ment fee of $1.
 Director Jones declared that from the information in possession of his service there was no basis in fact for such advertisements and ex- pressed the belief that measures should be taken at once to inform the public of the true facts concern ing Muscle Shoals. He requested an expression from General Beach re- garding the status of the Muscle Shoals project, and stated that the

May Fix Passenger Fares Re- gardIess of State Lines, Is Decision in Wisconsin
 Rate Case
By Assoeiated Pres.

Washington, February 27.-
 Declaring that scommerce is
 unit and does not regard state
 lfnes," the supreme court today,
 through Chief Justice Taft, and
 without dissent, handed down a
 decision upkolding the authority
 of the interstate commerce com-
 mission, under the transportation
 sct of 1920, to fix state railroad
 passenger fares when necessary
 to remove undue, unreasonable
 and unjust discrimination against
 interstate commerce..
 Two cases were presented to the court. One was brought by the rail- road commission of wisconsin and others against the Chicago, Burling- ton and Quincy railroad seeking an injunction to prevent the railroads of the state from putting into effect on state passenger traffic the rate of 3.6 cents per mile allowed by the government on interstate travel. The other was brought by the state of New York against the federal gov ernment, the interstate commerce commission and certain railroads of tbat state on the ground that the Scent fare fixed by the public utiI- ity commission produced reasonable returns to the railroads upon their state traffic. In both states freight rates had been advanced to the in- terstate level without objection from the states.
 
 Congress Has Full Power
 Congress in its control of it's in- terstate commerce system Is seeking in the transportation act to make the system adequate to the needs of the country by securing for it a reason able compensatory return for all the work it does" the chief justice stated in the opinion. "The states are seek ing to use that same system for in- trastate traffic. That entails large duties and expenditures on the in- terstate commerce system which may burden it unless compensation Is re- ceived from the intrastate business proportionate to that for interstate. Congress is the concomi-

rStACE $ 5 MARY
 WOMAN'S 'SSUFFRAGE AMENDMENT VALID, DECLARES DECISION
Contention That Suffrage Amendment Is Invalid Is Brushed Aside in Unani-
 nous Decision
Fly Associated Pross

Washingto ton, February 27--The eonstitutionality of the womans suf- frage or nineteenth amendment, was sustained today by the supreme court tn unanimous decision rendered by Justice Brandeis.
 'i'fo hftienEs came ffd.s4 sh. stzte of Maryland. whore oscar Leser and others sought to prevent the regis tration of two women as qualified voters in Baltimore. Leser and his associates eontended that the consti- tuition of Maryland limited suffrage to men; that the legislature of Mary land had refused to ratify the wom- ans suffrage amendment and that the amendment had not become a part of the federal constitution. The Mary land state courts sustained the amendment.
 The contention that the federal amendment relating to additions to the electorate cannot be made with out the consent of the state, the court disposed of by reference to the fif- teenth or equal suffrage amendment, declaring that "one cannot be valid and the other invalid" It pointed out that the validity of the fifteenth amendment had been recognized for half a century.
 The suggestion that several of the 90 states which ratified the nine- teenth amendment had provisions in their state constitutions which pro Hhibited the legislators from ratify- ing could not be entertained, the court stated. because the state legis- latures derived their power in such matters from the federal constitu- tion, which "transcends any limita- tion sought to be imposed by the peo- pie of state."
 The remaining objection that the ratifying resolutions of Tennessee and West Virginia were imperative because adopted in violation of leg islative procedure in those states may have. been rendered "immaterial." the court declared, by the subsequent ratification of the amendment by Connecticut and Vermont. The con tention was disposed of however, on broader ground. the court stated, adding that the Secretary of State, having issued proclamation of the ratification of the amendment by the legislatures of 36 states, the amend ment to all intents and purposes had become a part of the constitution. As Tennessee and West Virginia had power to ratify and had officially notified the Secretary of State that they had done so, their action was binding upon the secretary and upon being certified by that officials had become. conclusive upon the courts.
 The court announced in dispOsing of the case, which had been brought on appeal or a writ of error, that 1t granted the petition of the parties for writ of certiorari. but the de- cision today so thoroughly disposed of the objections urged, there seemed in the opinion of the court official no probability that any argument could he presented which would cause the court to change it's views.

 Two Indictments
 Two indictments were returned covering identical transactions and accusing the same persons. One charges a conspiracy to defraud the United States by defrauding the United States shipping board.
 United States Attorney Peyton Gordon, it is stated, will require the defendants to appear in the District Of Columbia supreme court for ar raignment when they can be released under S10,000 bond in each case.
 in a statement issued after the in- dictments were returned, MT. Morse charged that "the indictment, which is terribly unjust, as will be proven later, I believe was secured because of personal feeling against me on the part of Attorney General Dough erty and certain present officials or the United States shipping board MT. Morse's attorney, Wilton J. Lam bert, said that indictments against Mir.

 The contract between the Emer- gency Fleet corporation and the Groton Iron Works and the Virginia Shipbuilding corporation on which the charges resulting in the indict- ments were based, involved an amount said to approximate S40.- 900, ,O00. No estimate was made, how ever, in the indictments of the full amount which the defendants are charged with having misappropri- ated and Fletcher Dobyns of Chicago, special assistant to the attorney gem eral, who prosecuted the investiga- tions for the government, declined after the indictments were returned to estimate the amount of money out of which it is alleged the United States was defrauded, but it was un- derstood the sums which the gov s (Contfnued on Page seven.)
