u. S. SUPREME COURT
Badger Senator Issues Bitter Criticism
on Decision in Regard to
Union Labor.
tBy Associated Prese Leased wire.)

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)
Washington - Declaring that the SUI
preme court decision in the Coronado
coal case was the "most ominous in
what it foreshadows for the future Of
union labor in this country" Senator
LaFollette, Republican, Wisconsin, to-
day issued statement in which he
criticised the court. The opinion, he
stated, twas significant because of
what the court says on questions not
involved in the case rather than be-
cause of anything that is actually de-
cided."
After reviewing the conditions which
led up to and prevailed during the
strike in the Arkansas coal mines in
1914, upon which the case was based,
the Wisconsin senator declared six
line decision was all that was required
to dispose Of the case on its merits, for
the supreme court was reluctantly
obliged to admit the fact as ] have
stated" the reference being to his
assertion that "there is not and never
was any case against the defendants
in the federal court"
The supreme court, however, Sena-
to LaFollette stated, went out of its
way through 20 pages to berate the de-
fandants and to characterize them as
outlaws and murderers and the chief
justice wound up his opinion by say
ing:
"The circumstances are such as to
awake a regret that in our view of the
federal jurisdiction, we cannot af-
, firm the judgment"
The court also went out of its way
the senator said, "to change the law as
it has existed in the United States
since the beginning of the government
that un-incorporated associations, such
as are involved here, could not be sued
as an entity"
Reviewing what it stated was the
authority of the court upon which il
based that finding, Senator LaFollette
charged that "Chief Justice Taft neg
lected to state that as the result of the
Taff-Vale case, the British parliament
passed a statute which cut up that
decision, root and branch and made il
impossible for an English court tt
even render a similar decision"
mo doubt our supreme court feels
sure behind the bulwark of writer
examination, the meaning of which thai
court has arrogated to itself the func
ton of finally determining" the sen
ator concluded.

RAIL STRIKE JULY 18TH
MQuiring Reporter
.TODAY's QUESTION:

What do you think is the best way
to spend your Wednesday half holiday :?
ANSWERS:
Charles Shaw, 112 Hamilton avenue,
clerk Pm going to see Simmons
wallop the Logan Squares this after
noon, and | think that that is an ex-
cellent way to spend every Wednesday
afternoon-at ball game. There's
more rest and relaxation in witnessing
ball game then there is in doing any
thing else that I know of.
Dan J. Ctemens, office clerk - The
Wednesday half-holiday doesn't mean
anything to me, but if I had chance
I'd go fishing. You can't do much in
Lake Michigan in the afternoon 'cuz
the fish won't listen, but you can get
out to one of the lakes nearby and
fish to your hearts contentsand really
enjoy it.
Fred Plous, SIC Rowland avenue -
If the weather is nice the younger peo-
pie ought to go out hiking. That's
one of the most beneficial forms of
exercise that there is. You'll never
have to do daily dozen if you go on
a hike once week for several miles.
That's why all the scouts do it. And
everybody in town is member of the
Boy Scout council now, if they've paid
their subscription.
Mrs. H. J. S., South Main street, =
We went to the theater yesterday aft
ernoon and you'd be surprised how cool
it was. And it was so terribly hot
outside. The show was grand, too. If
people haven't anything else to do they
could go to the theater and have a
splendid afternoon.

CHILEAN OFFER OF

Would Have United States Act as an
Arbitrator With Peru for Her
Regarded as Deadlock.

washington-W Without accepting the
Peruvian proposal to arbitrate the
question of plebiscite in Tacna-Arica,
the Chilean delegation to the Chilean
Peruvian conference here, today pre-
scented counter proposal under which
the plebiscite would be held and the
United States would act as arbitrator
of the plebiscite conditions. The Pc
ruvians are understood to have reject
ed this suggestion, insisting that the
whole question of whether plebiscite
is to be held should be submitted to
the arbitrator. AS a result, today's
session of the conference ended in a
situation which many diplomatic OBJ
servers regarded as virtual deadlock.

Washington, D. C.-Secretary Hoov-
err in a report to the senate today dis
closed that he and Secretary Davis
had sought to present recently sug-
gestions which it had been hoped
would lead to settlement of the ex-
listing coal strike but so far their eff
forts had been without result.
The commerce secretary's statement
which was the first disclosure that the
government had sought to intervene in
the struggle between the miners and
tanned in a response to the resolution
by Senator Walsh, democrat, Massa-
chusetts, adopted by the senate sew
eral days ago calling for information
regarding the coal situation.
Replying to the inquiry in the Walsh
resolution as to "what action, if any
government agencies have taken to
terminate the strike" Mr.. Hoover said:
"The governmental agencies have
no legal authority to terminate or to
intervene in the strike. Quite in
formally and repeatedly suggestions
as to proposition on which the dis
putents might we'll confer and hopes
and settlements have been through
the department of labor and this de-
partment, or both, but thus far the
suggestions have been without result.
Referring to the conferences he re-
Gently has held with the operators
which resulted in an agreement to
maintain certain price levels, Secre-
tary Hoover said the government chad
no legal authority to intervene" in
such matters as prices and the "agree-
ments had no force of law, but it was
hoped that they would be observed.
Mr.. Hoover said that much interven-
ton was resorted to when prices began
to rise after the strike began last
April l. Citing that the price of bit
luminous coal rose to $12 ton in 1920
Mr.. Hoover said:
81 am in hopes that the actions tax
en- may save the public from recur-
renee of such profiteering as devel-
oped in that period"
Coincident with receipt by the SEN
ate of Secretary Hoover's report, a
movement was gotten under way by
Senator Borah, republican, Idaho, chair
man of the labor committee and Sena-
tor Walsh for bringing the coal price
situation before the senate. They
planned to inquire into complaints of
the National Retail Coal Association
as undue prices had been demanded by
operators. A committee investigation
was under consideration, according to
Senator Walsh, who also planned to
introduce another resolution to call
upon Secretary Hoover for similar in
formation regarding the anthacite sit
uation as that secured on the bitum-
nous.

Ballots ReturnabIe June 80.

Chicago, Ill.-Strike ballots return

reductions ordered by the United
States Railroad Labor Board.
The vote will be taken by individual
unions whose 100000 members are
affected in orders either issued or
pending.
Paralysis of the nations railroads
July 1 doomed as possibility as a
result of the reductions which have
already slashed $110,000,000 from the
wages of the workers. The cut is eff
fective July 1. Meanwhile the board
is preparing to hear disputes this
month between shop crafts employees
and some of the roads over alleged
unauthorized wage reductions and piece
work. B. M. Jewell, head of the rail-
way employees department of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, who is lead
ing the fight against the boards orders,
was informed that the first of the hear
ings will be held tomorrow. Twenty
unauthorized wage reductions for the
hearings.
Hearings May Last Weeks.
Hearings on the disputes are expect
ed to run into several weeks.
1t was indicated today that no wage
decision affecting telegraphers, the
next class of railway labor to be taken
up by the board, will come from the
board for. some time.
The split in the labor board was ap-
parently widened by the latest wage
reduction, the S6O,00O,000 slash in
wages of shop craft employees. The
minority report by the three labor
representatives on the board, severely
condemning the majority which order
ed the reductions, was still topic of
considerable discussion today and pro-
vided all ammunition for union men
who attacked the order.

ARMY MAN FACES
FORGERY CHARGE
Detectives Have Hard Time
Tracing Layton-Found
at Madison.
PASSED CHECK HERE

Detective Frank McCluskey returned
Tuesday night from Madison with
Frank Layton who will face charges
here today of issuing a forged check
on Louis Crystal on May 10, 1922. And
thereby hangs a tale.
Three weeks ago, Louis Crystal,
proprietor of the Crystal Clothing
store at Rowland and Pearl street,
blew into the police station all out Of
breath and announced that someone
had forged check upon him for $50.
Crystal did not know the mans real
name, but said he had signed the
check Frank Harrison" Crystal also
did not know where the man lived,
whether he was a stranger in town or
a resident. The address which he had
given in Kenosha had proved fake.
All this Crystal told in one breath.
He said that Harrison" had appeared
at his store the night before and pur-
chased some gingham and other dress
materials, and turned in a check for
$85, for which Crystal gave him cash
in balance of his, bill. This happened
at 8 o'clock in the evening and at
o'clock the next day, when the mer-
chant presented the check at the bank
window, he found that the man had no
account in the bank and that the check
was as good as paper handful, SO
far as money value was concerned.
But Detectives Use Skill.
It was a knotty little problem for
the police detectives to solve and Ser
geant of Detectives Rock and his as
sociates received the meager informa-
ton from the clothing store man with
/ frowns.> They didn't know who the
man was, his name, his address, or the
names of his associates, and yet they
were supposed to search the landscape
for him and bring him in on charge
of forgery. AS we'll search the I'M
charted heavens, the blue regions of
the air or the green depths of the sea
Only one little clue served as the
string which helped unravel the knotty
problem, for it was learned that the
man who had cashed the check was an
ex-service man who had seen service
overseas and it was thought that he
might appear at medical bureaus to
seek aid.
Traced to Madison.
Following up this beginning the de-
tectives learned that "Harrison's" real
name was Frank Layton and that he
might possibly be found in Madison
where he had relatives. This is where
the work of the police secretary began
and he succeeded in tracing the man
resulting in his arrest at Madison
early this week. Detective McCluskey

at Madison that the man had been ap.
pretended, left at once, bringing Lay,

SKI VICTORY
ST|RS PARIS
RACE FIGHTS
CRUSADER Service

PARIS, Oct. 7.-Battling Skis un-
expected victory over Georges Car-
pcnticr has resulted in frequent fights
between American whites and menu
bers OF the Partisan Negro colony,
especially in the Montmatre section,
where the latter have been celebrating
the browning OF the new champion.
In most instances the Negroes have
been accompanied by pretty French
girls. Directing American whites
have precipitated quarrels and III
many cases free-for-all battles have
taken place with unpleasant result Tor
the white Americans.
The Paris Negro colony-and II Is
big and varied-is carrying its chest
out and its head high while the
French womens color blindness, so
far as they are concerned, is increas-
ing, even to the embarrassment OF
many Negroes themselves who find
themselves hunted by French women
OF all types and stations in life.
The new idol is cheered wherever
he goes. The French have shown him
no discrimination. He makes speeches,
receives the flowers and garlands
thrown to him and smiles all the time.
Almost every other Negro seen on the
streets is mistaken for Sikh and is sur
rounded by an admiring crowd until
the poor fellow-he is usually a Jazz
band players forced to take to flight
in taxi in self-defense.
Sikh visited all the sporting news
paper Offices, took little champagne
and blocked traffic by appearing on
balconies, wreathed in garlands and
waving to the crowds below. But on
the whole he takes little liquor, stick
/ ing to vichy and victuals.
The new champion is being mum

wants to use his name to advertise
