gress not until the following December
more than a year after elected, The
congress, however proceeds TO have one
more session, beginning IN December of
the same year and continuing until March.
This is what is called the sSDrt session.
II is in this short session that most of
the filibusters, os which Dawes complains,
occur The shortneSs of the session makes
them possible,
But. if we read the vociferaas V. r. cor
rectly, the Norris plan is unlikely to appeal
to him. He is bent on curbing the senate,
bringing it TO the heel of the president, or,
at least. making the senate take its orders
from the dominant party organization.
The Norris plan would check filibustering,
but it wouldn't hand the legislative branch
of the government over 90 the executive
branch. MS Dawes seems TO desire. II
would have the opposite effect, for it would
put mn end to the lame-duck government.
Lame ducks are those members of con-
gress who sit thru the short session, after
having been defeated at the polls.
Every four years Washington witnesses
the spectacle of the lame-duck statesmen,
repudiated by their constituents. voting
blindly TO please the White House. They
throw overheard their own opinions and
their self-respect to win the favor of the
president They are looking for jobs.
Many times the will of the senate has been
defeated in this manner.
There would be no lame-duck sessions if
the Norris amendment shoud come to
pass But it is too much 20 expect that
Dawes will join in the effort to bring it
about.

Labor Tniunction Como out

Labor Injunction Going ont
THE attitude of the federal courts to-
L ward labor in.pnetions is beecsling
more rational.
Federal Judge Baker in West Virginia
has lust ruled that in the future his court
viii not iSsuesemporary restraining orders
until the defendants have had an oppor-
tunity 20 answer the complaint; that the
plaintiff will be required TO file n bill of
particulars and the defendants shall have
the right to inspect and answer them.
The ruling was made in connection with
the courts decision that peaceful persua-
sion of miners TO Join the union is not a vio-
lation of an injunction issued by the fed
eral court back in 1913.
Henry A. Warrum, chief counsel for the
United Mine Workers, declared the courts
decision was the greatest victory ever won
by the miners. IL certainly marks
change in West Virginia. There the oper
ators had been accustomed TO obtain in
functions Just for the asking, and TO use
their own police in arresting officers and
members of the union for alleged viola
tons of the order.
Federal Judge Baltzel in Indianapolis
last week took position similar to that
of Judge Baker. He refused TO issue n
temporary restraining order against coal
miners in that state, saying none could be
issued until the defendants had had
chance to be heard.
If this sort of clear thinking becomes
general among federal judges, presently
the injunction may be reduced to due
process of law''-after having been for
years much more than that.

This device makes it impossible TO operate
the car unless the motorman's hand is on
the controller. The minute his hand leaves
it the car is automatically brought to a
stop.
Two-man cars do not need the device
to such an extent, because the conductor
can act as emergency motorman.

HANDBALL CHAMPS WILL
SHOW THEIR WARES HERE
Warner Brothers Are Slated For
Appearance at Y. VI. G. 4.
Court This Evening.

The Warner Brothers from the
Moriden Y. NJ. G, A. who won the
state double hand ball championship
the past two years will invade New
Britain territory tonight to meet the
Mag Brothers combination in q
match game. Not only have the
Warner Brothers won the state
championship but they also during
the past summer entered the Nation
al Doubles tournament held in
Cleveland. Ohio.
The Meridcn hand ballers have
been playing together for the past
five or SIX years and it takes
mighty good combination to defeat
them. Henry Dressed and Edward
CntcrspaN have on numerous oCCa-
sions met thom on the court but
were not strong enough to win.
Both Eddie and Sammy Mag have
knocked fine pill around the Yale
gym in their students days and have
in tn" past year taken numerous
doubles teams in tn" local assOCia-
ton into camp. il remains to be
seen what kind of an argument they
will put UP against Such finished and
accomplished players like the Mrri-
denitcS.
Tho game will start at $50 p. m.
