La TOILETTE HITS
U.S.SUPREME COURT
Criticises Decision in Coro-
NADIA Case as Ominous
for Union Labor.

Declaring that the Supreme Court
decision in the Coronado case was the
most ominous in what 1t foreshadows
for the future of union labor in this
country" Senator La Toilette, re-
publican. Wisconsin, today issued a
statement in which he criticised the
court. The opinion. he stated, was
Significant because Of what the court
says on questions not involved in the
case rather than because of anything
that is actually decided"
Six-Line Decision Noted.
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
"a 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 de-
PENDANTS in the federal court"
The Supreme Court, however, Sena-
tor La Toilette stated. went out of its
way through twenty-nine pages to be-
rate the defendants and to characterize
them as outlaws and murderers, and
the Chief Justice wound up his opinion
by saying: The circumstances are
such as to awake a regret that In our
view Of the federal jurisdiction we
cannot affirm the Judgment"
The court also went out Of its way,
the senator said, ito change the law as
1t has existed in the United States
since the beginning of the government.
that unincorporated 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 it based that finding, Sena-
tor La Toilette charged that Chief
Justice Taft neglected to state that
as the result of the Taff-Valie case, the
British parliament passed a statute
which cut up that decision root and
branch, and made it impossible for an
English court to ever render a similar
decision"
NO doubt our Supreme Court feels
secure behind the bulwark of a written
Constitution, the meaning of which
that court has arrogated to itself the
function of finally determining" the
senator concluded.

IRISH CONSTITUTION
DRAFT IS REVISED
Oath of Allegiance and Stay
ing in Empire Are Among
Vital Provisions.
By the Associated Press.

LONDON. June THE revised
draft of the Irish constitution

Griffith. president of dali eireann.
provides among other things, says
the Evening News. that Ireland
shall remain within the empire in
the same way as a dominion
Decisions of the privy council"
says the newspaper, shall be final in
all constitutional matters concerning
the free state, subject to certain
conditions Assent of the crown must
be obtained to all legislation in the
free state. The oath of allegiance,
provided in the Anglo-Irish treaty,
shall be Observed
The News says it is understood
that there has been also some mod
ifications in the earlier provisions in
control over foreign affairs than the
imperial government was prepared to
concede.
These discussions are being resum-
ed today the News asserts. in a dis
tlnctly more promising atmosphere
Arthur Griffith, president of the dali
eiroann. accompanied by Kelvin
O'Higgins and Hugh Kennedy, ar
rived from Dublin this morning for
resumption of their negotiations
with the British cabinet. and Prime
Minister Lloyd George left Criccieth,
Wales, for London

Mr.. Grih1th and his colleagues met
Winston Churchill, secretary for The
colonies. during the morning and con-
ferred for two hours with him. Mr..
Griffith declined to make any state
ment regarding this conference, but
said another meeting would be held
later in the day and probably a
further conference tomorrow
Meanwhile yesterdays nominations
for the Irish elections on June 16 are
attracting attention. The fact that
the nominations indicate there will
be contests in twenty of the twenty
seven group constituencies Is regard
ed here as reviving the hope for an
unfettered expression of opinion at
the polls, which had lately been al
most abandoned.
The appeal by Michael Collins, head
of the provisional Irish Free State
government, for an investigation of
the occupation Of Pettigoe by British
troops is understood to be under con-
sideration by Mr.. Churchill. After
further consideration by the other
British signatories to the Anglo-Irish
treaty the appeal will be submitted to
the full cabinet.
