GOVERNMENT
LOSES CASE IN
SUPREME COURT
BOOtleggers Cannot BE Prose
cuted For Not Keeping
Record of Sales

Washington, May 24.---P)-Boot.
leggerssand their customers cannot
be prosecuted under the prohibition
enforcement act for failing to furnish
the government permanent record
of all illegal sales, including the
names of their customers. The su
preme court so declared today in q
case from Pennsylvania.
The government likewise had lost
in the lower federal court. where il
contended that the law requires all
persons who sell liquor to make Z
permanent record of all sales.
Two indictments had been found
against Jacob Katz. one charging
him with conspirng with George
Sem and the other of cOnspiring
with Herman Feuerstein to violate
the law in the sale Of whiskey for
the Stewart Distilling company
without making Il permanent record
including the names of those to whom
the liquor had been sold.
The trial court quashed the indict.
ments holding that the requirement
applied only to persons operating
under permit for the sale of liquor
and did not include bootleg sales
That action was confirmed in effect
By todays decision.

TO ESTABLISH
GOLDEN RULE
IN BUSINESS
That Idea Will BE FOrewOrd of
Cooperative Club Inter-
national Meeting

Des Moines. .SMay 24.-(F)-Es-
tablishment of the golden rule in
business will be the foreward Of the
seventh meeting of the Cooperative
Club International here today.
Delegates to the service club con-
vention began arriving last night by
special train from many parts of the
country bringing with them a great
variety of entertainment Four men,
bers of the original club at Kansas
City arrived by airplane and were
given an ovation by scores of dele
gates who had awaited the arrival at
the landing field. The airplane
party comprised Dr. Burris A. Jen-
kins, Methodist minister, DR.. Chas.
f. Allen, charter member of the
original club. Victsr Trueblood and
J. Guy Robertson. chairman of the
national sponsorship committee.
Speaking Of the proposal to de
velop the idea Of the golden rule in
business, jenkins today cited many
, instances Of the application BY great
industrial leaders. The experiment
he said, had succeeded beyond all
expectations.
An Experiment
DR.. jenkins illustrated his state
ment by citing the case of one of the
largest clothing companies Of Amer
lea. A Cincinnati minister, he said
had purchased "sweat shop" in q
determination to find business
where the golden rule could be ap-
piled. Wages were raised, the plant
made sanitary, prices were reduced
and in 30 days the production Of the
concern had increased nine times
When the business threatened to
make the proprietor millionaire, he
turned it over to organized labor ia
operate.
The golden rule in business, DR.
Jenkins said, could be summed mp in
three propositions higher wages
lower prices and mass production.

was no day of rest for those having
strong views about the executive or
der authorizing enrolment of state,
county and municipal peace officers
as federal prohibition agents, with
indications mounting that before the
hubbub dies, congress will hear much
about its propricty and constitution
ality.
Assistant Secretary Andrews plan
to take his first action under the
order in California through enlist
ment Of deputy sheriffs, meanwhile,
has encountered formidable OBJ
stacle, apparently, in the opinion Of

Order Ass&iled
The order 10 assailcd in statements
published today. from two of the
"wet sectors" in congress, and plans
to move for senate inquiry into its
constitutionality have been discuss
ed. In addition, the Washington
Post says the plan is being criticized
by some enforcement officials. who
take the view that. instead Of
strengthening the governments dry
arm, it will have weakening effect
by depriving prohibition authorities
Of power they now possess under
state laws in working up big cases.
Senator Edwards, Democrat, New

Republican,. Illinois. issued the state
mcnts presenting the views Of vets
in congress. The latter said he
could find mo authority for this ac-
tion i'm law. nor do know Of any
such peace time action in the history
of the government while Senator
Edwards could not bring himself ito
believe that President Coolidge enjoy
ed the slightest comprehension Of
what his sneak and 'snoop' order
meant when he placed upon it his
official stamp Of APPROVAL"
The senator also announced that he
planned to call up, Wednesday or
Thursday, his resolution to authorize
an investigation of prohibition en-

that they are revocable at any time
General Andrews expressed "sur-
prise" at the reception given the
presidents order, which has been as
sailed by the vets as an invasion of
states rights and criticized by some
drys as resting on doubtful consti-
tutional basis.
"Giving authority to a man over

control is very dangerous" he said,
