SUIT OVER HOUSES
Union Restrained From Try
ing to Retain Strikers in
Company Homes.


PITTSBURGH, September 30.-A
preliminary injunction, restraining the
United Mine Workers from attempting
to retain striking miners in houses
owned by the Pittsburgh Terminal
Coal CORPORATION, was granted in an
opinion filed in Federal Court here to-
dav by Judge f. T. Schoonmaker.
The corporation had sought a sweep
ing injunction against the union, pray
ing that it be restrained from interfer-
ing in any way with operation of the
companys non-union mines, and ask
ing for 81 100000 damages. The pre-
liminary injunction, however. con-
tanned only the eviction phase of the
suit, which was based by the corpora
ton on the allegation that the union
had violated provisions of the Clayton
and Sherman acts by interfering with
interstate shipment of coal.
Judge Schoonmaker stressed the fact
that his opinion was merely injunctive
relief on one clause of the suit with
out expressing at this time any opin-
ion on the merits of the case, either in
fact or in law, that shall be developed
on final hearing when testimony can
be taken in open court" He added
that testimony and affidavits already
entered showed that the plaintiff
docs need injunction relief" and
therefore he issued the preliminary
Injunction dealing with company
houses.
In addition to restraining the union
from any further attempts to halt
evictions of striking miners and their
families from company owned houses.
the Injunction restrained the National
Surety Co. from posting any further
| bonds in such cases. Hundreds of
evictions were halted when the union

Moses Influence.

From the womans Home Companion.
Moses is the greatest religious inf1u-
ence known to history of all time. He
is the guiding spirit of more existing
legislation than was inspired by the
Sermon on the Mount. The present
industrial order is mosaic. Christian
ity and Mohammedanism are out
growths of the Judaism which Moses
founded.
While learned professors in their
studies are Iaboring to disprove the
historical existence of the alleged law
giver, around the corner comes the
protector of urchin and sage, the Irish
policeman, whose steps beat out the
eternal words of Moses: Thou shalt
not kill. Thou shalt not steal" His
life seems actually to have been the
historical bridge between superstition
and religion. His own religion had a
content of superstition, but through
the windows of his personal expert
ence our human race saw a bright
light where hitherto had been dark

not informed that any such plan or

to persuade the Democratic party to

Il could conceive of an issue being

through a promise of more effective

to tell the people how it could do the

Democrats Face Difficulties.

'There has been a suggestion" the
Senator was advised, that an An

declined or failed to Go So"

I'm the first place neither Jackson

Nor Washington, jefferson. Lincoln

man now in public life or even in
the Anti-Saloon League would do so.
Prohibition would lose more real
friends in S minutes from such ac-
ton than it could in so years through

then, could your army or armies en-

did not intend obeying it? They
could not.

some gentlemen who now are trying
to fasten this issue on the Democratic
party were for local option. They
were wrong then. They are wrong

Not Partisan Question.
"And your record in behalf Of pro-
hibition being what it is, you are pre-
pared to assert prohibition is not a
partisan question:"
Il am" he replied. "As I have
stated before, the only way it can

campaign is for man to run as a

publican contest, and the wet would

West and some other places. Nor
do l see where it is likely to become
a partisan issue through any prom

pie, rather than through false
prophets and fake political issues"

Internal problems of vital interest to
the bond business of the United States
held the attention of the members of
the Investment Bankers Association
of America as their sixteenth annual
convention drew to a close today.
Among the many questions upon
which the delegates centered their in
terest was that of proposal to ac-
company all subscriptions to syndicate
bond issues by a cash payment of 10
per cent or more.
Might Lessen Padding.
The business problems committee
Yesterday suggested that the 10 per
cent pIan. for some time in vogue in
England, might lessen the practice OF
padding subscriptions to bond issues
and generally put the syndicate SyS-
tenn on a more stable financial basis,
particularly in times of economic
stress.
The smaller distributing concerns
appeared to oppose the 10 per cent
plan. while the originating or whole
sale houses were understood to favor 1t.

NOT ISSUE IN 1923,
SENATOR GLASS, DRY, DECLARES
Virginian Says Question Can
not Be Made Predominant
in Campaign.
Head of Ticket Could Not Win
United Support Even if
Elected, He Holds.
BY ROBERT BARRY.

There may be ways by which pro-
hibition can be made the predominant
political issue in 1928, but Senator
Carter Glass Of Virginia does not be-
lieve any of them will eventuate.
AS chairman of the resolutions COM
mittee at the San Francisco conven-
ton and powerful influence IN the
platform shaping at Madison square
Garden, the Senator from Virginia is
not without experience in the framing
of Democratic issues.
Senator Glass is an ardent and con-
sistent dry, though never tanatlcal
one. He refuses to pursue the course
Of the Zealot.
How can the eighteenth amend
ment logically become an issue be-
tween parties?" he inquired in re-
sponse to a question whether it might
be one. by that l mean, If the Re
publican party declares for law en-
forcement. is the Democratic party
going to declare against law enforce
ment?'
Declares 1t Issue of Morals.
"It is suggested that the Republi-
cans might declare for retention of
the eighteenth amendment and against
modification of the Nolstead act"
VERY WELL" Senator Glass re-
turned. Suppose the party does go
that far? Does any one believe the
Democrats will take the other end and
advocate the repeal of the eighteenth
amendment? If we did there would
not be enough Of the Democratic party
left after the election to get up a
camp meeting. The Democratic party
is not going to adopt any such course
merely for the privilege or being
off hn ,>fh
but just suppose the Democratic
party, or either one Of the parties. Is
so eager to make prohibition politi-
cal issue, when it is one of morals.
that it and it's candidate should come
out on a wet platform. 1t is incon-
ceivable to me, but We'll presume that
it does happen and that our nominee
is elected. What then?
"He would have to begin his term
| by taking an oath before his God to
maintain and support the Constitution
of the United States and enforce the
statutes which give practical effect to
the Constitution. All right, then
| what? How would he go about full
| filing his pledge to the people? How
| is he going to modify or repeal the
| eighteenth amendment?
Decision Up to Congress.

soever in the submission of a consti-

mitted to touch such amendments.

alter word or a syllable of a Federal
statute. He could recommend changes

about. But does any one believe that

and the surety company posted bonds
for appeals.
The corporation contended that its
attempt to operate with nonunion
labor had been hampered to a great
extent by the fact that the union
miners, occupying company houses,
made it impossible for the company
to house non-union men.
While the injunction restrained any
further attempts to stop evictions, the
court ruled that it would have no
effect on the hundreds of appeals now
in State courts.

dent of the union in charge of the

a dry can force his party. either party,
to vote rs Il unit with him on this
question? OF course not.
There are millions of Democrats
who favor prohibition and millions
who are opposed to it. There is
like division among the Republicans.
They are going on disaSreelng among
themselves and the election of the
drippingest wet Imaginable as Presl-
dent would and could not mean that
two.thirds of the Senate and of the
House would vote to submit a repeal
ing amendment, Nor could it mean
that three-fourths of the States would
ratify such Il repeater. No ore famllar
with politics believes anything like
that could happen in so years.
"What of the other proposition
modification of the Volstead act?"
1.-The places where that must be
| fought out in politics are in the party
primaries and the congressional and
senatorial elections" Senator Glass re-
piled. "If there are enough people
| in anv congressional district who want
the law changed they can elect wet
Representative and just as soon as
enough people in a majority of the
AS congressional districts feel the
same way about it and so vote they
can have a majority in the House to

| "Then they would have to carry q

"Yes. and they would have somf
Job doing that" the Senator said with
| a chuckle. But, seriously, this idea
of saying prohibition is a proper issue
as between parties is ridiculous. anc
no man can attain to the presidency
by promising TO nullify the Constitu
ton or the statutes. The only pos
sible thing he could accomplish
through such campaign pledge
would be to hand the victory to his
opponent"

Many Farms Are
Foreclosed in rs

approximately $4,000 farms
changed ownership by reason Of
forced sales or other default during
the y months ending March Is,
1927, according to report on the
farm real estate situation released
today by the Bureau of Agricul-
tural Economics, United States De
partment of Agriculture. This was
at the rate of 21 farms per thou
sand when adjustment was made in
the census total for the plantations
Of the south.
In addition 10000 farms, or 80
per thousand, changed owners
through voluntary sale or trade, in
cluding also contracts for deed.
About 1900 properties, or n Fate

gift; and $4,000 or about . per
thousand, through miscellaneous and
unclassified methods.
Of the 81 farms per thousand
which involved q more or less com
pulsorv change of ownership, 4
were classified as forced sales on
account of delinquent taxes, and
Il were classified as caused by
mort gage foreclosure, bankruptcy,
default of contract or by sale, sur
render of title or other transfer to
avoid foreclosure. All Of these fore
ed changes, so called, did not neces-
