Convention AppIauds 2-to- !
Vote of $4,000 in
Organization.
By United Press

ID " OHtCfU PTGSS
ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 18.-The
American Bar Association voted at
its annual convention to go on
record as favoring repeal of the
eighteenth amendment.
The vote was taken after the re-
suits of poll, conducted by mail
during the LAST year, were an
nounced, showing that the members
of the association voted in favor of
repeal by more than two to one.
Charles A. Boston Of New York
announced the result of the refer
endum during his speech opening
the annual convention. The an
nouncement was received with a
burst Of applause.
Boston said that 1878 attorneys
and judges voted in favor of repeal
ing the prohibition law as against
5,625 who favor retaining it.
The first clause of the referendum
asked whether such a poll should
be conducted by the association. On
this point 1872 voted yes; 5,625
voted no.
In his opening address, Boston
declared that prohibition, the bank,
slavery and secession have, more
than anything else, disturbed the
of the nation during the
period since the Constitution was
adopted.
The association today also re-
affirmed its approval of the
United States adherence to the world
court pact in response to request of
the committee on international law
of which James B. Scott of Wash
ington, D. c., is chairman.

FUNDSLACK|NG
FOR ENFORCING.
DRIVERS LAW
Compulsory Insurance Act
Is Due for Haphazard
Administration.
OGDEN GIVES OPINIONS
Bans Use of Printing Board,
Auto License Money
by Mayr.

When the so-called motorists
financial responsibility act becomes
affective Oct. 1, it will face hap
hazard enforcement due to failure
of the legislature to provide funds,
it was disclosed.
Two opinions on this point have
been given by Attorney-G General
James M. Ogden.
One is to j. Otto Lee, clerk of
the state printing board, setting out
that printing board funds should
not be spent for forms to be used
in connection with the acts en-
forcement.
The other is to Frank Mayr Jr.,
secretary of state, declaring that
while it is up to his department. to
enforce the acts provisions, no
funds from automobile licenses. or
similar fees, can be used for such
purpose.
DO Best We Cam
Mayr declared today that he will
TRY to enforce the law as best we
can without an appropriation"
Illustrating the sort of handicap
this will be, he cited the enforce
ment of similar law in New Jer-
sey, where the number of licensed
automobiles are approximately the
same as in Indiana. There, twenty
six persons are employed full time
in enforcement, he declared.
First step toward enforcement
was taken by Mayr today in turning
the matter over to Joseph Hoffman,
head of the interpretations division
of the secretary of states Office.
1--WE will just have to do it the
best way we can," was Hoffman's
comment.
Workers to Be Borrowed
Clerks and stenographers will
have to be borrowed from other
branches of the Office and work
part time on enforcement business,
Mayr explained.
He admitted that he believed the
result will be far from satisfactory.
The new law really means COM
pulsory automobile liability insur-
ance for the ordinary car owner.
For it provides that if a judgment
of more than 500 is rendered
against him in an automobile acct
dent, he must post showing of
financial responsibility with the
secretary of state equal to $1,000.
This means a $4,000 personal Ii
ability and $1,000 property damage
showing.
Failure to make such showing will
mean revocation of license.
In addition to the civil Judgment
suit, similar showing must be made
upon criminal convictions involving
use of an automobile,

LIBEL SUITS
Against Labor Paper Go To
State High Court

Denver, Colo. ILNS)-Three dam
age suits brought against the Colo
RADIO Labor Advocate, which were
non-suited in three separate courts in
Denver, are now to be taken to the
Colorado supreme court on appeal in
one case at least.
Three members of Chauffeurs
Union No. 200, formerly in the en-
ploy of Casey's Laundry, a union con-
Germ, were hired by the head of the
anti-union Laundrymen's Association
and began collecting laundry from
their former union customers with the
idea of putting Casey's out of busi-
ness.
The Colorado Labor Advocate pub
lished frank exposure of the whole
matter; whereupon the three chauf-
feurs, R. I. Jackson, Lee Mellon and
e. w. Bereman, backed of course by
the Laundrymen's Association
brought three separate actions against
the labor paper for libel with claim
for $1,000 each; which, being tried
in three separate courts last year
were each thrown out of court. The
attorney for the chauffeurs has now
made preparations to follw up by
taking one of the cases to the state
supreme court.

SALISBURY LABOR
FIGHTS CUT in PAY
OF STATE WORKERS
Central Body, Urging Shor-
ter Hours Higher Wages,
Protests Against Cover
nor Gardner's Proposal.

Salisbury, N. C. ILNS)-The Sal
isbury Central Labor Union has taken
the lead in organized labor circles
of the state in opposing 10 per
cent salary cut for all state en-
ployes. The cut was recommended by
Gov O. Max Gardner in his biennial
message to the general assembly, and
the recommendation has created more
of stir throughout the state than
any issue, unless it be taxation, that
is before the present state legisla-
tive body.
The Salisbury labor organization
proposed as substitute solution to
the present financial crisis of North
Carolina that working hours be re-
duced and wages raised. 1t is also
vigorously against any form of sales
tax.
In addressing communications to
the members of the general assembly
from the Salisbury district, f.. T.
Cornelius, secretary, said in part:
"The savings to the state by these
proposed reductions, we understand
are to be applied to the relief fund.
The workers of the state do not want
charity. They want work. They can
not obtain work unless there is de-
mand. There can be no demand when
the people have no work. Therefore
the only solution to this problem is to
shorten hours and increase wages,
which will in turn put more people to
work and increase the buying power
of the workers, which will bring pros
perity to all.
