Strikers Found
= Entitled to Jury
q. S. Supreme Court Holds
Shopmen Were Under
Clayton Act.

Washington, Oct 20.-Railroad EN-
strike of 1922 were entitled to jury
trial when charged with contempt oi
court. it was held today by the su
preme court.
That part of the Clayton act which
provided that employees may demand
trial by jury was declared by the
court to be constitutional and valid.
The relationship of employer and
employe do not cease, the court held
when a workman goes on strike and
the provisions of the Clayton act for
protection of the employe therefore
apply under such circumstances.
The question had been brought be
fore the court by Sam Michaelson and
others who had been employed by the
Chicago, st. Paul & Omaha Railway
company and who claimed that under
the CLAYTON act they were entitled to
a trial by jury.
District Court Reversed.
The federal district court FOR west
ern Wisconsin held and the seventh
-
part of the Clayton act which pro
vided for trial by jury unconstitu
tionaI and found that the men had
lost their standing a5 employees OF the
railroad when they went on strike and
therefore were not within the pro
vision Of the Clayton act. which ap
kDlied only to employees.
Z During the strike the federal dis
trict court for western Chicago Is
sued a temporary injunction restrict
Ing picketing upon the Chicago, st
Paul &. Omaha railway to one repre-
sentative of the strikers at each point
of ingress and egress. Shortly there
after the railroad complained that the
terms of the injunction we're not be-
Ing observed by the strikers and
sought to have them punished for con-
tempt.
Jury Trials Denied.
Michaelson and his associates we're
brought into court, denied jury trial
and sentenced for contempt. Another
case of workman arrested for con-
tempt in connection with strike was
disposed of by the court.
S. c. Sandefer was convicted OF
contempt in federal district court
in Kentucky on the charge that he
had violated its order with respect
to the use and threats of violence
in connection against the Canoe Creek
Coal company. He demanded a trial
by jury but it was refused.
The sixth circuit court of appeals
asked instructions of the supreme
court as to whether the Clayton act
providing for jury trials in contempt
ca ses imposed a valedication upon the
inherent judicial power of federal
courts to punish for contempt. That
question, the supreme court today
answered in the affirmative.
Chicago. Oct. 20.-Counsel for rep
resentatives of the railroad brother
hood chiefs today filed in United
States district court a petition for
dismissal of the railroad labor board 8
contempt charges against some of the
brotherhood chiefs, in connection
sAvth their refusal to testify in the
western railroads wage hearing.
Donald r. Richberg, the attorney,
filed the motion in the cases of Presi-
dent d. B. Robertson. chief of fire
men. and J. Mcclure, chairman of the
engineers on the Chicago G. North
western railroad.
Arguments on the petition were set
for tomorrow before Federal Judge
James II. Wilkerson.

Butler Sure of
Alliance Scheme

bine in Some States.

Chicago, Oct. 20.-Conferences with
some $50 state and district leaders
during the past week have convinced
Chairman William M. Butler of the
republican national committee of the
"open alliance" between the demo
cratic and third party leaders in GER
tain states. Butler declared in state.
ment today.
THE open alliance" Buffers state
ment said, "of the democratic and
third party leaders in certain states
to throw the election into congress
and thus deprive the voters of their
right to elect a president at the polls,
has s.iffened the determination to
block this plan by voting for Calvin
Coolidge.
1.-The program of the third party
for the destruction of the constitu'
ton, the virtual abolition of the SUI
rreme court, and the public owner
ship of railroads. has aroused the peo
PIE to the gravity OF this election
and the Importance particularly of
their individual votes.
1.-THE nationwide confidence in Cal
vim Coolidge and the resultant de-
termination to vote for him continues
to be one of the most impressive fea-
lures Of this campaign. We have
profited by the character of the Is
sues which our opponents have intro
duced and the cannpaigning methods
which they have employed.
Our opponents are apparently not
altogether happy over the situation.
We already are experiencing their
back fires and l anticipate that the
next two weeks will find the air
thick with charges. accusations and
Misrepresentation aimed to divert
the public attention from the real Is
sues"

DAMAGE BY FIRE
REACHES $4,000
Hotel Guests Flee to Streets
as Downtown Building
Burns in the Night.

A stubborn and perilous fire in the
Fries, Beall & Sharp paint and
metal establishment at 1886 Tenth
street caused approximately $4,000
damage to the building and contents
early today.
Breaking out at l o'clock. in the
seven-story concrete, fireproof struc-
ture, the blaze necessitated the
sounding of four alarms, brought 16
engines and 5 truck companies and a
difficult fight by firemen before the
fire was placed under control.
Dense smoke at the outset made
it impossible to locate the seat of the
fire. When that was discovered and
streams were poured into the build
ing, water, oil and grease ran to-
gether into a slippery scum on the
floor so that firemen entering the
building tumbled and slid as if their
feet were treading Sleet.
Investigation after the fire showed
that a large arount of infiammabe
property in the rear of the building
had been largely responsible for the
spread of the flames. Henry Phillips,
night manager of the Lincoln Hotel,
telephoned police word of the fire,
while ]. H. Marks of the Mather
Building, sent in the alarm. Guests
of the hotel were forced by the
smoke and possibility of the spread
of the fire to don clothes and de-
scend to the street, where they
mingled in the large crowd of specta-
tors.

Washington, ID. C.

Q. AS a single service man entitled
beneficiary, would my wife (if l got
married and died before she or my
mother) experience any difficulty in
obtaining the face value of my pol
icy? In case of my marriage could 1
change the beneficiary, or is it neces-
sary to make my bonus payable to
my estate and make a will covering
this clause? 1 will thank you for an
swers to these questions-R. R. s.
A. The answer to your first ques-
tion is that your wife would not re-
ceive any part of the bonus upon your
death unless you had named her as
your beneficiary. Name your mother
as your y ,ticiary when making ap-
plication and when you marry change
your beneficiary, naming your wife.
In this way you can solve the ques-
tion. You can change your benefi-
ciary at will with the consent of the
director of the Veterans Bureau. If
you fail to name beneficiary, or do
not want to do SO, your bonus will
your estate. You will not have to
make Will. If it is paid to your
estate, it would be divided according
to State inheritance laws.
@. Please advise me to whom I
should write about the Illinois State
bonus. I lived in Chicago before en-
listing. Do you think I am entitled
to it?-J. H.
A. Address a letter to the adjutant
general, State capitol, Springfield, ILL.,,

blank. You did not give me enough
information about your residence in

tatfvely.
@. My brother-in-law was in the
Army six months, my sister was in
the Navy eight months and I served
in the Navy two years. Do we all re-
ceive the bonus? Can any of us get
cash instead of certificates of insur-
ance?-V. M.
"A. All of you are entitled to the
bonus. You will all receive adjusted
service certificates. There is no pro-
the dependents of deceased service
