are demanding that you stop your
procrastinating and make these ap-
pointments and that the women who
supported you be given an equal dis
tribution of patronage"
Commissioner Henderson declared
he shared Mrs. Griggs' views in re-
CARDS to procrastination and appoint
ments.
In reply to Mrs. Griggs and her
delegation, Commissioner Ellis stated
that the commission was making nec-
essary changes slowly, that these
matters would be adjusted as fast as
possible.
The delegation OF women then
withdrew and the city commission,
after the excitement of this furry, re-
sumed its work as board of equali-
cation.

Optometrists Must
Pass Examinations

That the state board Of examiners
cannot issue temporary certificate
to an applicant who has failed to
pass the required examination for a
certificate to practice optometry, al
lowing his to practice until the next
annual examination, is the opinion
of w. j. Galbraith, in answer to an
inquiry made to his office in the mat

declares. does not authorize the state
board of examiners to issue a tenn
porary certificate of any kind.

Justice Green Decides State Did Not
Surrender Liquor Power to Fed

Nashville-Convicti by the fed.
eral government for violation OF the
national prohibition laws does not rem
der person immune from conviction
by the state government for the same
act, according to an opinion handed
down by Justice Gree:: in the case Of
the state versus Homer Rhodes, OF
Memphis. This opinion, and others af-
fecting the corporation laws and the
enforcement laws. we're rendered by
the supreme court at its opening ses-
sion at the capitol today.
Two opinions of Importance in the
enforcement of the prohibition laws of
the state were the cases of the state
vs.. Homer Rhodes, and the case OF
Henry Rhodes vs.. the state, from Will
son county.
In the first Of these cases the state
appealed from Judgment of the Grim
inal court of Shelby county dismiss
ing Rhodes from a prosecution for I'M
lawfully possessing and transporting
WHISKY on the ground that he had
previously been convicted in the fed
eral court at Memphis, under the Vol.
stead law, for the same act of trans
porting and possessing whisky. The
supreme court held that the eighteenth
amendment to the constitution did not
change the rule which has existed
since the organization of the federal
government that a conviction by the
federal government for a violation of
its law does not bar or prohibit the
state government from prosecuting
and convicting the same person for
violation of the state law growing out
of the same act or transaction.
The supreme court held that by the
18th amendment the states did not
surrender to the federal government
their power to deal with intoxicating
liquors, otherwise than to give up the
power to authorize or sanction what
the amendment prohibits, reserving to
themselves the right to deal with thu
subject by appropriate legislation not
authorizing or sanctioning any act
prohibited by the federal government.

PARLEY URGED
ON RAIL WAGES
NDRATECUTS
Commerce Commission, Labor
Board, and Road Chiefs May
Confer Jointly.
BY III. X. REYNOLDS
international News Service.

A joint conference of the Inter
state Commerce Commission and the
United States Railroad Labor Board
with leading railway executives, was
looked upon in official quarters to.
day as one means OF fastening the
general slashing OF freight rates de-
sired by the Administration.
Although the executives OF the
principal railroads assured President
Harding of their cooperation in
speeding commercial and Industrial
recovery, IT is apparent that in their
future conversations with the Inter
state Commerce Commission. they
will stick TO the argument that
high wages are responsible for high
rates. Their contention will he that
they cannot afford to accept a re.
ductIon in revenues until the biggest
item OF their expenses-wages-
reduced in the same proportion.
AS the result Of the investigation
conducted during the last few
months, members of the commission
are understood to feel that the III
nancial condition Of the railroads
would not be impaired seriously by
rate reductions at this time, but
the commission will be unable 10
make an adequate or satisfactory
reply to the demand Hor wage cuts
to offset a threatened loss in revenue.
The Interstate Commerce Commits.
sion has no authority TO fix or regu.
late wages. That duty rests solely
with the United States Railroad
Labor Board at Chicago.
When the railroad executives press
their demand for wage reductions,
the commerce commission can do
nothing but pass the buck" TO the
Labor hoard. 1t is for this reason
that officials consider it advisable 10
arrange for a joint meeting OF the
two Government agencies so that
the questions of railroad rates and
wages may be disposed of at the same
time.
