MOTORISTS UPHOLD.
Jury TRIAL RIGHTS
Association Congress Brands
as Un-AmeriCan, Judge
Halls Proposal.

a resolution attacking the proposal
that motorists accused of violating
traffic laws be denied jury trial was
adopted at the National Motor Con
gress of the American Automobile AS
soc1ation just prior to the adjourn
ment of their three-day session yes
terday afternoon.
The delegates to the congress eX,
pressed the opinion that the motorists
should continue to have the same
rights as other citizens and that any
other course would be "un-American."
The discussion Of the subject follow
ed advocacy of such a proposal by
Judge Levi Hall Of Minneapolis
Mimi, before the National Safety
Council on Friday, Judge Hall de
clared that juries refuse to convict
motorists.
Following the adoption Of the reso-
luton the American Automobile AsSO-
citation issued a statement which was
directed to Judge Hall and not at any
particular organization. 1t said, in
part:
Judge Hall gave no consideration
TO the constitutional guarantee Of
every citizen of the United States
that is, the right OF trial by jury.
where the charge is one punishable
with imprisonment
I'VE, therefore, believe that sug.
gestions to deny the constitutional
privilege of the right of trial by jury
is un-AmeIican in spirit illegal in
effect and tends to create in the pub
lie mind d degree Of alarm entirely
unwarranted by the facts"

that Washington may reasonably eX-
pect a temperature of about "

perature that compares faVoraDly
with cities much farther north and
which pride themselves upon cool

quotes the Weather Bureau records to

Martial Law Suggested.

While both Senator Borah and Mr..
Parker agree that some such emer-
gency legislation is advisable. they
both admit the difficulty of framing
a law which viii be constitutional.
The Constitution gives Congress con
troll over interstate commerce, but 1t
does not give it control over intra-
state commerce or business. and there
is the rub. Not only is the anthracite
mining industry confined practically
entirely within Il small section of
Pennsylvania, but Pennsylvania has
laws which provide that no one shall
mine coal without certificate showing
he has had certain experience In that
business. If the Government took
over the mines, and the miners de
Clined TO work. would the Government.
in view of the Pennsylvania law, have
the power to put other workers in the
mines who did not have the neces
sary licenses issued by the State? BY
declaring maKtial law, 1t is suggested,
in the anthracite district, the Govern
ment might be able to take such
action.
The House interstate commerce
committee reported favorably and the
House has passed the Parker Watson
railroad labor bill, setting up a new
system for the adjustment of railroad
labor disputes with Government as
sistance. 1t has been suggested in
some quarters that a bill providing for
a similar system of adjusting disputes
between the operators and miners
might be advisable. MIR. Parker, how
ever, feels that this would not be
practicable, owing to the great num-
Der of bitumlnous coal properties,
many of which have never been devel.
oped. but which may be placed in op-
GRAFTON at any time. and the inability
to specify the amount of production
from any given area.
A considerable number of coal bills
have been introduced in both houses
and are now pending before the com
mittees of the House and Senate. Sen
ator Copeland of New York, a member
of the Senate subcommittee, last night
emphatically declared the need of
putting through legislation at this
time.
