u. S. JUDGE SCORES
SCALE OF PENALTIES
Contrasts Small Fine for Shipping
Condemned Food and Long
{ Prohibition Terms.

SEATTLE, Wash, April Federal
Judge George M. Bourquln denounced
yesterday what he termed the "glaring
and shocking irregularities of the law
in respect to offenses, offenders and
penalties" ~
The jurist's remarks came in connec-
ton with his announcement he would
set aside the sentencing of Robert
Darnas, broker, and Harry Buttnick,
manager of the Buttnick Manufacturing
Co., convicted last week Of shipping 49,
600 cases Of condemned canned salmon
from Seattle to Georgia in 1929.
Judge. Bourquin had sentenced
Damas to three months in prison and
fined him $500 and Buttnick to seven
months with $3.50 fine. Denying their
motion for new trial, he said he would
resentence them today.
He described the language Of the Vol
stead act as ambiguous" and blamed
legislators for provoking resentment of
the people" and rebellion within prison
and without"
what a contrast" the judge de-
clared, that great packers who ship
carloads of rotten foods which not only
defraud thousands, but may also poison
them, IL prosecuted can be only fined
In the trivial sum Of $500, whereas the
poor addict wins fails to prove the tax
of less than one mill on a grain of NOR
phine In his possession has been paid
and this trivial fraud upon the United
States his only offense-can be fined
$4,000 and imprisoned five years
THE casual vender of a single glass
of good wine, which will not poison
anybody, may be fined $4,000 and i'm
pr1soned five years"

MEMBERS OF TWO MINERS UNIONS
 COME TO BLOWS
They Had Violent Clash in Pittsburg and State PO- lice Had to Quell It

Pittsburgh, June 19.-(UP)-For the second time in the present strike of more than 10000 western Penn- sylvania bituminous workers open fighting between the two rival labor unions had broken out to-day as 1t appeared that efforts to reach set- clement of the strike had failed. The clash between the United Mine Workers of America and the Ma tional Miners Union, rival labor or ganizations, which was apparent in the conference held in Harrisburg by Governor Pinchot was climaxed last night with battle between the rival groups at Coverdale.
 The clash between five U. M. W. of A. sympathizers and five members of the rival union occurred near the largest mine of the Pittsburgh Terminal Coal company and a short time after the terminal company had failed to reach an agreement with U. M. W. of A. officials. Several men were injured in the outbreak, one of them being severely bitten. State police quelled the disturbance.
