ign labor and the case of selling
goods"
Judge Luse issued an injunction in
1922 against striking shop men of the
Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis &
Omaha railroad. He cited several of
these workers for contempt of court
and fined and jailed them for pick
citing against his orders.
The strikers appealed to the United
States supreme court on the ground
that they were denied a jury trial, as
provided by the Clayton law. They
were sustained by the high court, who
upheld that section of the Clayton act
which provides for jury trial in
criminal contempt proceedings.

ton over the country in working out
the detailed plans.
While the report of the War De-
partment on the initial defense test
has not been made public, that mus
ter is believed to have shown a lack
of complete understanding of the new
military scheme, and to have revealed
defects in the local application OF
plans which could be overcome
through a general discussion of al
points involved with the corps COM
manderS.
1t is pointed out also that there
have been numerous changes among
the corps area commanders and their
| staffs during the year, and that Of
ficers now responsible for planning
in some cases and need all the ad
vice the department can give them.
Among defects understood to have
been disclosed by the first test
are many cases where reserve officers
responsible for units situated In one
State had changed residence and
| were living at distant points in other
States. An overhauling of the as
signment lists of the reserve officers
| to correct this situation has been in
progress. and 1t is expected this year

independence day, July 4. will be
featured this year by the holding OF
the second national defense test.
Following President Coolidge's dis
approval of Armistice day for staging
this military demonstration and his
suggestion that July would be a
more suitable day for the occasion,
the War Department has announced
that it will now go ahead with Its
plans with that date in view.
Acceptance of the earlier date calls
for extraordinary efforts to speed up
the test machinery so that the muster
will show the maximum results pos
sible, and the preparation of plans and
instructions already is under way.
In his letter to Acting Secretary
Davis the President did not explain
his reason for rejecting the Armist1ce
day suggestion, saying merely, Il do
not approve your proposal that IL De
held on Armistice day
The Presidents action opened the
question whether the need for test
this wear justified an effort to prepare
for il by July 4. Mr.. Davis and his
military advisers have felt that such
a. limited period for preparation would
be insufficient for laying the ground
work for a test as complete as 1t was
intended to hold if the Armistice day
date had been approved, DuJ tney ue-
cided Immediately that the educational
value of the demonstration in promot-
ing public understanding of the new
military policy which requires nation
wide civilian cooperation warranted
efforts to hold a creditable muster

incidentally. the Presidents sugges-
ton of the July date and its accept
ance at the War Department will re-
suit in the test being held on the
SD anniversary of his birth. The
original muster, last year, was first
planned as a mark of special honor
to Gen Pershing and was scheduled
to be held September 13-his 64th
birthday anniversary and the date of
his retirement from active service. BY
his direction, however, the date was
changed to September 12-the ami
versary of the battle of st. Mihiel.
Notifications to State governors that
the muster will be held July will
emphasize, in compliance with the
Presidents desire, that their contri-
buttons will be wholly voluntary and
that the Federal Government is not
attempting to coerce them into any
particular course of action in giving
orders to the National Guard or in the
appointment of civilian committees tC

nothing 10 fear, yet admit that certain
forms of reyolvers and certain types
of combat swords fall in the categories
of arms to be subject to control if the
draft convention as prepared goes
through without marked changes.
Experts spent weeks in classifying
arms and deciding what types should
be subject to restrictions. Three cate
gories were arranged.
The first includes arms and muni-
tions which are exclusively designed
for war on land, on sea or in the
air. Thus the Spanish pistolrnaker' s
product may be subject to control
when sold in foreign lands, if he is
manufacturing revolvers of large cali
ber. And the German swordmaker
may have basis for fear if he is turn
ing out bayonets, swords for war use

Unification of North and

Uniting Of the North and South di-

Churches will be accomplished in the

Methodist Episcopal Church, he said
will not be accomplished until the Col.
ored M. E. Church North is split
from the Methodist Episcopal Church
North, of which it Is now an integral
part. This, Bishop Carter declared. is
one of the ihin&,s that prevented the
Southern Methodist Church recently
from agreeing to the consolidation.
The Southern C. NJ. E. Church is now
a distinct organization.
