The Vare-Wilson Contest.

A Federal judge in Philadelphia has
decided that the courts have no power
to decide whether n special committee
of the Senate continues after the ex.
piration of the Congress in which it
was created. Therefore. for want of
jurisdiction, the judge has dismissed
the suit brought by the Reed slush
fund committee of the Senate to COM
pei the authorities of Delaware County,
Pa. to turn over to the committee the
ballots cast in the Vare-W Wilson sena-
torial election in 1925.
The court held the Senate supreme
in the matter of the life of it's com.
mittees. 1t declared that the Senate
alone could answer the question
whether the Reed committee was alive
or defunct. This may be good law or
it may not. 1t will be recalled, how
ever, that in the Nal Daugherty case
the Supreme Court of the United
States pointed out that the Senate
was a continuing body, and that it's
committees also continued after the
close of a session of Congress. The
Supreme Court and the Pennsylvania
district court seemingly are at odds
over the matter of jurisdiction. In
the Nal Daugherty case, the Brook
hart committee, appointed to investi-
gate the Department Of Justice,
sought books and papers Of Nal
Daughertys bank in Ohio. The com.
mittee was resisted on the theory that
it's power had lapsed.
The Reed slush fund committee will
continue its efforts to obtain the bal
lots cast in Delaware County in the
Vare-Wilson election. Unless it OBJ.
tains the ballots or a restraining order
from the court, the ballots under the
Pennsylvania law will be burned prior
to an election which is set for Sep
TENDER 20. The contest Of William B.
Wilson, democratic candidate for the
Senate against William S. Ware, Re.
publican, who was declared elected on
the face Of the returns, Is before the
Senate. The Reed committee during
the last session of Congress seized the
ballot boxes in Philadelphia and Pitts.
burgh. They are now in the posses
sion of the committee. But the ballots
in other parts Of the State have not
been obtained.
II the ballots cast in Delaware
County are essential to fair decision
in the Wilson.Vare contest, it seems
imperative that steps be taken to pre-
vent their destruction.
Senator-elect Ware is under fire
from two directions. He Is charged
by the Reed siush fund committee
with having obtained the Republican
nomination corruptly and with the ex-
penditure of large sums Of money, and
for those reasons to be unfit for mem
bership in the Senate. His right to be
seated is challenged by Mr.. Wilson on
the ground that in the general election
in November, 1926. many fraudulent
Republican ballots were cast and many
Democratic votes were not counted.
II Mr.. Ware Is not seated because Of
the Reed committee charges, it will
not help Mr.. Wilson in his effort to
sit in the Senate. On the other hand,
it is doubtful whether sufficient
number Of ballots could be shown to
be fraudulent and thrown out on that
account to permit the seating of VIII.

Would you throw us a rope, as you

Executive May Not Intervene in
 Coal Strike
Washington, Nov. 22 (UP)-Pres-

Washington. Nov. 22 (UP)-Pres- ident Coolidge is expected 10 reject the request of labor officials that he intervene in the bituminous coal strike.
 He believes there is little 10 be gained from a conference with miners and operators unless both sides first indicate a disposition 10 arbitrate. It was announced in his behalf at the White House.
 The announcement followed a lengthy conference yesterday with William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, John I. Lewis. president of the United Mine Workers of America, and members of the federation's eXcCU- tive committee,
 They told the president 15o0oO union coal miners in Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia have been left virtually destitute by the ex- tended strike which started April | with expirat tion of the Jacksonville wage scale.
 The president listened to them more than an hour but refused to commit himself beyond 2 promise that he would refer their request for intervention of the department of labor. Thereafter Lewis turned to Secretary of Labor Davis.
 The delegation also asked the president to include in his message to congress a request for investiga- ton of an alleged conspiracy of three leading railroads to depress the price of coal at the expense of miners wages.
 The president recommended that this be taken up with the interstate commerce commission.
 The delegations third complaint was against the use of injunCtions and eviction orders issued by feder- al courts to prevent gathering of striking miners, and to deprive them of their homes.
 On this. the president made no comment.
 Lewis took his case directly to Secretary of Labor Davis after the president had made it plain that Davis would have a part in any de- cision concerning the call of a con- ference to settle the strike.
 Lewis told the secretary he gath cred the impression from the presi- dents attitude that there was q pos sibility the conference would be asked to investigate the alleged rail- road conspiracy.
