Seek Court Ban
to Prevent Waltham
Workers from Striking

Cambridge, Mass. June ia bill
in equity to enjoin its employees in
Waltham from striking was filed in
the Superior Court here today by the
Middlesex and Boston Street Railway
Company. The employees. organized
as Division 600 of the Amalgamated
Association of Street and Electric
Railway Employees of America, are
said to have received sanction from
their association for strike. One
cause of dissatisfaction is said to be
the refusal Of the company to allow
the State Board of Cancellation and
Arbitration to determine the punish
ment of a motorman whose car col
lided with another. The company al
leges conspiracy to break the wage
and conditions agreement made July
II, 1922 According to the bill in
equity the company takes the posi-
ton that it has rule providing
dismissal for n motorman found at
fault in a collision and that the
board could not determine the pun
ishment. The bill further states that
the attorney general rendered an
opinion that the board could not act.
The bill requests the court to re-
strain the proposed strike and any
interference with the plaintiffs bust
ness, passengers, or employees. A
hearing will be held Friday on the
question of issuing temporary IN
junction.

U. S. MODIFICATION
OFFER DESIGNED TO
HIT RUM-RuNNERS

Washington. June Rehabilitation
OF the effect of the American prohi-
bition enforcement regulations as
they apply to sealed liquors in tram
SIT through American territory or in
ships stores has been offered to va
| rious maritime powers by the state
department as a solution for present
inconvenicnces occasioned foreign
shipping. The project. it was learn
ed today on high authority, contem-
plates exercise of the treaty making
power to amend existing statutes,
which means that senate ratification
would have to be obtained 20 make
the modification effective.
The offer is also contingent upon
a reciprocal agreement in treaty
form by the powers involved which
would give the United States the
right of search up to twelve miles
Off shore in carrying on the war
against rum smugglers operating
under foreign flags.
Inc American proposal Is the out
growth of prolonged study of the in
volved legal and international situa-
ton that has arisen both from the
rum smuggling operations and from
the recent decision of the Supreme
Court upon which the present rigid
treasury regulations excluding all
beverage liquors from American ter
rltorial jurisdiction are based. 1t
was presented in answer to numer-
| GUS complaints made by the mari
time governments against inconven-
fences to their shipping resulting
from the regulations. 1t also follows
Of D,,:% 1:,
| to agree to a treaty permitting the
against smugglers which is now
proposed, coupled with the offered
modification of ship liquor and liquor
! in transit rules.
Comment on the new American
proposal was withheld in diplomatic
| circles. There was no indication
available there or at the State De-
partment as to the probable attitude
| Of the nine governments which have
made the new ship liquor regula-
tons the subject Of diplomatic con-
versations. Since the project docs
| not contemplate joint treaty but
| wholly separate paCts the possibility
presents itself that some of the mari
time powers might enter into such
relationships as proposed where
| others found it inadvisable to do So
In that event, providing senate rati-
| fication was obtained for tho treat
, les negotiated, a solution for these
two veXing international aspects of
American prohibition enforcement
would have been found so far as the
treaty party nations were concerned
at least.
The American proposal docs not
contemplate any action to alleviate
the ship liquor situation prior to "a :
LITIGATION of the treaties by both
parties. 1t therefore offers no meth
| cd of overcoming the obstacles to in
ternational commerce imposed by
the treasury regulations for several
months at least, as the American
J senate will not rc-convene before
December unless called in special
session.
