MORE FEDERAL
AID FOR STATE

State highway authorities were ad-
vised yesterday that free confer
ence committee of the house and
senate had agreed on the federal aid
appropriation to be made by congress
within the next two or three weeks
and that the amount would be $780,
100000 for; %.
Of this $50, 100000 South Carolina
will receive approximately 100000
and this will be available July l of
this year. The appropriation will be
for the fiscal year beginning the first
of next month, but the entire amount
can be had July 1.
Charles H. Moorefield, state high
way engineer, said yesterday that
sufficient funds to match the $780,
600 for South Carolina were already
pledged by the counties and it is ex-
pected that many applications will be
made for the money.
Under the agreement of the free
conference committee, $65, 900, 900 for
federal aid is to be appropriated for
1924 and $75,OOO,OOO for 1925. South
Carolina can share this years fund
and the 1924 amount under the pres
ent system of county matching. but
will be unable to share in the 1926
appropriation unless some provision
is made for the state to match the
funds. Under the provision of the
recent federal aid act the govarn-
ment will begin to deal only with the
states and will not accept the county
matching scheme, this to become eff
fectiye after the 1924 appropriation
has been allowed and used.

browns in Lake

Fitchburg, Mass, June 5.-Howard
S. Jennings, a member of Company
X of the Fifth United States in
fantry, stationed at Camp Devans,
and a resident of Honea Path, S. c.,
lost his life by drowning here this
afternoon. Jennings, who is a veter-
an of the World war, lost his balance
in shifting positions in canoe with
two who were with him on Lake
Whalom, which lies between Camp
Devens and this city. Up to late
hour tonight the police had failed to
recover his body, although the lake
was dragged during the afternoon
and night. jennings, according to
the story told by the other two SOL
diers to the police, refused to heed
their repeated warnings and started
to change positions, falling over
board Being unable to swim he sank
out of sight before any attempt to
save him could be made by his COM
panions. The other men, B. r. Sher-
man and c. S. Merkle, who are mem
bers of the same regiment, are brok-
en- up over the tragedy. Calling for
help, Sherman and Merkle padded
to the Leominster side of the lake
and notified the Leominster, Fitch
burg and army police of the acci-
dent. All three responded, the two
men being placed under arrest by
the latter body pending the outcome
of the investigation.

worth, it was estimated by police anc
newspaper men.
Mills in New Market, Exeter. anG
Suncook did not attempt to reopen
The mills throughout the state have
been closed since February 13, as q
result of strike in protest against
20 per cent wage cut and a 81
hour week.
-Four arrests were made during the
day, two at Manchester for the jeer-
ing of returning workers and two in
Nashua for alleged violation of an in
junction against picketing in force
there. The four men were later re-
leased. Six men arrested at N, -hua
tonight on similar charges furnished
bonds for hearing later. Idle op-
eratives and sympathizers made dem
onstrations this morning at each mill
center where attempts were made to
reopen, but there were no serious dis
orders.
Textile mill workers claimed that
many of those who reported for work
today were foremen and second
hands. At Nashua, according to the
police, strike sympathizers attempted
to evade the injunction by transfer
ring their pick}eting operations to
streets a few blocks from the mills
A clash between James Starr,
strike leader in Manchester and Chief
Of Police Healy was an incident at
the gates of the Colidoge mill. Starr
said later that Chief Healy had
charged that he and Organizer Gala
han as we'll as President Mcmahon
of the United Textile Workers were
responsible for the presence of strike
sympathizers on the streets this
morning in violation of rules laid
down by the police department. The
chief, however, took no official action
and later issued statement thanking
citizens for their orderly behavior.
Strike leaders asserted tonight that
the situation in New Hampshire
would be brought to the attention of
the United States senate BY Senators
Lafayette and Gooding and that a
senate investigation might result.

UNION HELD
LIABLE BY COURT

Washington, June 5.-Deciding the
celebrated Coronado coal case, the su-
preme court today held that labor or
ganizations although unincorporated
are amenable to the Sherman anti
trust act, and that under it such or
ganization may be prosecuted for re-
straint of interstate commerce. The
court also held that labor unions are
suable. Chief Justice Taft in an
nouncing the decisions did not indi-
cate any dissent.
The case which presented the ques-
tions passed upon by the court was
an appeal by the United Mine Work
ers of America, district No. 81 of that
organization and the officers, 27 local
unions in that district and their Off
GERS and 65 individuals, some of the
latter not members of any union,
from a decision by the United States
district court in Arkansas, approved
by the circuit court of appeals hold
ing them guilty of violating the Sher-
man antitrust act during the coal
mine strikes in Arkansas in 1914, and
imposing damages of 100000, which
were trebeled under the antitrust
law.
Labor leaders in Washington, in
cluding officers of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, while expressing
conc over the sweeping provisions
of the decision, declined to authorize
any statement in advance of care
full study of the findings of the court.
They were particularly interested in
that section of the opinion which held
that the treasury of labor organiza-
tions could be held liable for dam
ages caused by labor unions.
The Coronado case" was the name
applied to one of the most famous
proceedings to reach the supreme
court within recent years. Its fame
arose not only from the long period
it remained on the docket but from
it's Importance, involving as it did the
question of whether organized labor
as represented in the United Mine
Workers of America could be prose-
cuted under the Sherman anti-trus;
law for restraint of interstate COM
merce resulting from strikes:
The Coronado and Associated Coal
companies of Arkansas instituted in
the limited States district court for
Arkansas civil proceedings against
the United Mine Workers to recover
trebel damages under the Sherman
act for property losses suffered by
them during a strike in the Arkansas
coal fields in 1914. The coal CON-
panies alleged that the United Mine
Workers had unlawfully conspired to
suppress non union competition, and
that the destruction of the property
had been resorted to, with attendant
restraint of interstate commerce, to
accomplish that end. The decision
of the court dismissing the suit was
set aside by the United States circuit
court of appeals for the Eighth cir
cult, and in the same court, on second
trial, before different federal Judge,
the jury found that the destruction
of the mine property was due to a
conspiracy to prevent the mining OF
coal by non-union labor, and had re
suited in a restraint of interstate
commerce. The jury placed actual
damages at 100000, which were
trebeled by the court under the Sher-
man law. The award, affirmed by the
circuit court of appeals, was brought
to the supreme court by the labor
unions on the ground that being in
corporated they could not be sued.
