RAILROAD STRIKE
EXPECTED TO END
within A week
Seniority Proporsition, Which Has
Been Bone Of Contention, To Be
Cared for in a "Gentlemen's
Agreement Says Report.

New York, Aug. 10. - The under
standing, which has been reached be-
tween the committee Of railway exec
utives and representatives of the rail-
way b-otnerboods for settlement of the
shopmen's strike will quickly be trans
lated into a definite settlement, ending
the strike upon the basis of gentle
mems agreement" it is believed here
today.
Union leaders regarded the sum-
moning of the railway executives as
most hopeful sign, and it is believed
that the strike will have ended and all
men will be at work by one week from
today.
Executives representing the 148
railroads of che United States will
meet here early next week, probably
Tuesday, to give their answer to the
proposal submitted by the brother
| hoods in behalf of the striking shop
craftsmen.
THE gentlemen's agreement" will
restore the seniority rights of the
strikers without saying so in plain
words. This is expected to reconcile
the Idle hards" among the railway
presidents who vowed they would
never give in upon the seniority issue.
1t is expected that the coal strike will
be ended in all fields by the time the
shopmen are back at work, and the
heavy movement of coal along with
the transportation of the gigantic
crops will furnish enough work to
keep all the shopmen busy including
those who were taken on during the
strike and strikers who were taken
back to their old places.

BREWERY
. UNABLE TO MAKE
DRINK FOR A YEAR
Federal Prohibition Director Reyokes
Beverage Permit Of the Lexington
Brewery Following Hearing Be-
fore State Director.

Lexington, Ky. Aug. 10. - The Lex
lngton Brewing Company's permit to
manufacture cereal beverages has
been revoked, 1t was announced at
state prohibition headquarters today.
The order of revocation was receiv-
ed by State Director Sam Collins from
Roy A. Haynes, National Prohibition
Commissioner, and a copy of the order
was served on Brewing Company Off
cials by registered mail today, it was
announced.
The revocation is the result of a
hearing before Director Collins August
at which the government charged
that the brewing company had violat-
ed the terms Of its permit by manufac-
turing and selling beer containing
more than one-half of one per cent
alcohol
Under the terms of the revocation
order the brewing company cannot
operate as a dealcoholing plan for a
period Of one year and cannot main
tain fires in the furnaces of the plant.
At the expiration of one year the firm
may apply for a new permit to do
business.
Under the federal prohibition law
there is no legal method by which beer
may be manufactured since Its manu-
facture was not allowed for medicinal
purposes, and no permit can be given
to make beer, it was said at the pro-
hibition office.
Permits are issued, however. to
manufacture cereal beverages. The
manufacture OF such beverages call for
the same process as does the manu-
facture OF beer with the additional
dealcoholizing process that makes the
beverage notwithstanding by bringing
the alcoholic content down to the legal
one-half Of one per cent.
The revocation proceedings against
the local company resulted from the
seizure by federal prohibition agents
June s, OF a truck load of alleged high
proof beer Just after dry agents said
It left the brewing plant.
Chemists testified that samples
taken from the barrels seized contain,
ed from 1878 to 3.S4 per cent. alcohol.
Six officials and employees of the
company were indicted in June by the
federal grand Jury on charges of con-
spiracy TO violate the national prohibl
tion act. Trial of these indictments
was set for a special torn of court II
July, but the case was continued be-
fore the trial arrived until the January
term Of federal court. Trial of foul
soft drink stand operators indicted a
the same time was continued also.
Hearing of the revocation proceed
ings was set for July 12, but was con
tinued by agreement to July 10. Jus
before that date Commissioner Haynes
requested that the hearings be post
psned ten days. This request wa!
complied with and the date set fo
July 2S. On July 81 the brewing com
pany obtained temporary injunction
from Federal Judge A. M. ]. Cochran
restraining Director Collins from con
Quoting the hearing on tho day speci

HACKENSACK, Nov. IMAM or
woman? Which sex planned and
executed the Hall-Mills double
murder?
mot a woman says Mrs. Au-
gusta E. Maley, first woman lawyer
to defend a prisoner charged with
murder.
The question was put to Mrs.
Maley because her experience and
her exhaustive study of criminology
and particularly her study of the
jury psychology, of men and women,
lend weight to her opinion.
Mrs. Maley is an attorney and
counsellor at law and for six years
has been in law partnership with
her husband. She has delivered a
series of lectures on women's parti-
cipa-ion in the jury system.
Few Women Plan Murders
"This was a crime of vindictive-
ness" she said. 'It was so well
planned and carried out so brutally
that I cannot believe a woma had
anything to do with it.
Few women plan murders. Few
contrive a secret crime and remain
in hiding. Especially romantic
crime. Women of education and
refinement have killed on a wild i'm
pulse, and then have calmly admit
ted it.

EDWARDS REPEATS HIS
PLATFORM IN MONMOUTH

LAKEWOOD, Nov. 1.-Governor
Edward I. Edwards, Democratic
candidate for United States senator,
last night assailed Senator Joseph S.
Frelinghuysen for voting in favor
of the tariff bill, for his vote to
seal Truman H. Newberry in the
United States senate, and for his
stand on prohibition and its en-
forcement. He also repeated his
platform in the following way:
MY platform is very simple and
perfectly ineligible to every man,
woman and child in the country. No
equivocation, no chicanery, no
hypocrisy.
II am opposed to the present
tariff law.
II am opposed to the saloon.
"I am opposed to Newberryism.
"I am against prohibition.
az an in favor of a just tariff
which will reduce the cost of living,
lower our taxes and foster Amerl-
can industry and enterprise.
at am in favor of the manufac-
ture and sale of light wines and
beer under government control.

that hypocriticah mandate OF the
bigoted few, imposed unfairly upon
an unsuspecting majority when the
%country's back was turned"
Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-11-01

and perhaps rightly-because OF
the sentiment, the sympathy and
the chivalry that SO often has out
weighed facts of evidence in the
jury's consideration of the crime"
Mrs. Maley cited several cases as
illustration. She also mentioned the
recent act of a H~ackensack jury in
acquitting three persons charged
with numbering Jack Bergen, movie
actor, because it was testified that
the dead mar uttered a slur on
womanhood. There were six women
on the Bergen jury.
1.-THE Hall-Mills ease is entirely
different. There can be no senti-
ment in 1t no matter whether a man
or a woman eventually is tried for
the double murder.
Jury psychology shows that men
and women react similarly to things
of this sort. There is nothing to
show that the women members were
responsible for the unusual Bergen
verdict n more than the men.
Women More Conscientious
at is impossible to forecast what
the reaction will be if the Hall-Mills
case ever comes to trial. Women
jurors helped to convict Mrs. Ivey
Giberson of murder. And I saw a
jury made up entirely of women
actually render a verdict against a
woman in a civil case in which the
opponets were mother and son.
Il believe, however. that women

would have been easy for me to have
set back and done nothing and to
have presented a perfect alibi to the
effect that I was in a hopeless min
GRITTY and was therefore, justified in
not trying to do anything, but be-
hind me was the Inspiration of those
young men and of the people OF Mid
dlesex county who had put me where
I was and who expected me to keep
up in Trenton the fight which we had
begun in New Brunswick.
In those days the Democrats were
not alone in attaching the word
New" to their descriptive title. The
progressive element in the Republic
can party had taken to itself the title
of 1.-THE New Idea Party" and it was
a pleasure and an inspiration TO
work there with men from both par
ties who were interested in ideas
rather than p~artisanship and who
sought to attain ends helpful to the
people rather than to try to stultify
one another's efforts for narrow par
tisanship advantage.
The point that I want to bring
out now is that in those days the
people who had elected me and the
ideas for which they fought, were
MY only bosses. Today there is once
more a return to that ceiling OF
hopefulness in the path of public
service, and once more the people.
and those who seek to serve them,
have a vision of a future that can
be made brighter and better by Civ
ing service.

needs and their desires, will find me
completely and un~reservedly at their
service. In campaigning we may talk
of the details of, what we hope to
give and of what we hope to do. but
the eventual measure of u service
to the community is going to be the
degree to which we share the hopes
and the aspirations of our constitu-
ents and the degree to which we sin
cerely intend to do what we promise
to do and the degree to which we are
bossed and controlled by those prom
Uses and obligations.

ROAD BUILDING BOOM

TRENTON, Nov. IAN indica-
lion Of the increased demand for

230 tons while the p~rode@tlon Of
limestone was 1870 tons Jess than
the year before. The former va
riety Of stone was used rrostly as
crushed stone for roads, while the
limestone was utilized = as a fiux
with iron ores, which have s!umped
since the war period.
In addition to the two materials
mentioned. other kinds of stone, in
GLIDING granite, sandstone, argillite,
serpentine and slate were produced
to the extent of 113,567 tons. which
