CHARLESTON, w. va, Aug. 10
Frank Keeney has called off the
Kanawaha strike through his West
Virginia Mine Workers Union. an
organization by which he sought to
cash In on the resentment all miners
feel for the Lewis machine. Keeney
and company are takers, thrown out
of the UNIV in factional fights over
spoils of office with other cliques.
The Kanawha strike never amounted
to much, for ths miners had little
confidence in Keeney, but the Music
League for Progressive Labor Action
tried its best to make a lot Of pub
licity for it, Now Keeney, who has
been in close and friendly touch with
the operators during the strike, has
arbitrarily ended it, with nothing
gained for the miners and no move
to protect their interests as they re-
treat

JUDGE DRAFTS
APPEAL PLAN
New Procedure Would Aid
Courts, Says Lockyear.

Plan of procedure which would
simplify appeals to the appellate
court has been drafted by Chief
Judge Elmer @. Lockyear and sub
nlitted to the legislative committee
of the Indiana State Bar Associa-
ton and several lawyer members
of the general assembly.
All that would be necessary, under
the Lockyear plan, would be to pre-
pare the record, have it certified to
by the trial court, file it with the
appellate court clerk, who would
give notice of the appeal to the ap-
pelIee. This would make it as easy
as to file complaint in a lower
court, the judge points out.
An appeal bond would stop execu-
ton during appeal ALI that trans
pires in the trial court would be a
part of the record without a bill of
exceptions.
The law now is considerably more
complicated, with various steps pre-
scribed for term or vacation ap-
yers hesitate to go through the
thus kept from review because law
years hesitate to go through the
present cumbersome process, Judge
IOckyear contends.

REPORT SEEN SPUR
TO DRYS' FORCES

peal. And outright repeal-not
modi1cation-i1aS been the goal of
the wetS.
The commission apparently has
agreed on only a few things, the
paramount one being the need Of
greater enforcement-which is dis
tinctly favorable toward the drys.
For better and greater enforcement
has been one of our primary con-
tentions as a solution to the pro-
hibition problem.
THE fact that the commission, on
many of the major questions in
volved. had to resort to expressions
of individual opinions only indicates
what everyone knows-that it ap-
parently is impossible for drys and
vets to get together on any sort
of compromise program. The diff
ferences are too great.
ITO get thorough enforcement as
recommended by the commission,
two things should be done:
First, the federal government
should inauglTate and execute a
thorough, intensive educational
campaign.
Second. federal forces should be
enlarged TO whatever point Is nee
essary to cope with the problem. |"

Newton D. Baker

In my opinion, the eighteenth
amendment should be repealed and
the whole question of policy and
enforcement with regrad to intox-
ieating liquor RENTED to the states.
If, for practical reasons, i'm
mediate repeal be thought unat-
tainable, submission of the amend
ment suggested in the report of the
commission would test the present
sentiment of the country and, if
the amendment were adopted,
would accomplish the double result
of removing an arbitrary and in
flexible police regulation from the
Constitution, where 1t seems to ME
it never should have been put, and
Of giving congress the power to
adapt federal legislation on the sub
ject, from time to time, to the real
tiles of the situation as they may
develop.
The efforts now being made to
enforce the law are sincere and in
telligent, and, aided and supple
mented as recommended in the re-
port, higher degree of effective
ness will be certain to follow, but,
in my opinion, the problem Is In
soluble so long as it is permitted
to require a nationwide federal en-
forcement of a police regulation at
variance with the settled habits and
beliefs Of so large a part Of our peo-
nile

Advocacy in the WickerShan,
commission report of greater pro-

Of the eighteenth amendment and
enforcement measures as they are
at present, did not surprise F.. Scott

Paul J. Mccormick

From the evidence before the
commission, have reached the con-
clusion that the outstanding
achievement Of the eighteenth
amendment has been the abolition
OF the legalized open saloon in the
United States. I am unable to find
that there has been any further
general moral improvement shown.
Absolute repeal is unwise. It would
in my opinion reopen the saloon.
This would be a backward step that
I hope never will be taken by the
United States.
I am not convinced by the
evidence that the experiment has
had a fair trial under the most
suspicious conditions and I believe
opportunity now should be given
congress and the administrative
agencies Immediately to give it such
trial.
II within a reasonable time OBJ
servance and enforcement con-
ditions are not clearly proven to be
nationally better than they are now.
then the amendment should be re-
vised, as recommended in the COM
MISSIONS report.

Roscoe Pound

Americans have had a perennial
faith in political mechanics; and, in
the spirit of that faith, it is urged
that the organization ard ma
chinery of enforcement ard the
legislative provisions may be so far
improved as to bring about an ade-
quate observance and enforcement
which admittedly do not exist.
But there Is no reason to SUD-
pose that machinery and organi-
cation and equipment will change
public opinion in the places and
among the classes of the community
where public opinion has proved an
obstacle, nor that they viii succeed
IN the teeth OF public opinion any
more than they have in the past.
Hence, while making enforcement
as effective as we may, so long as
the amendment as it is remains
the supreme law of the land, we
should be at work to enable the
fundamental difficulties to be
reached. This, it seems clear, can
only be done by revision of The
amendment.

William |. Grubb

I am one of the members Of the
commission who believe that prohi-
bition under the eighteenth amend
ment is entitled to further trial
before a revision or repeal OF the
amendment is recommended. My
reasons for thinking that prohibi-
ton under the amendment Is en-
titled to a further trial are two
fold. The first Is that it is an ex-
pertinent. which has not been COM
pleted, and has not yet had a fair
trial, and the second is that no sat
isfactory substitute for it has been
presented or shown to exist.
I agree with the conclusion of the
report that enforcement and OBJ
servance of the law never have been
and are not now adequate or sat-
isfactory, and do not warrant ita
continuance. unless change is
probable within reasonable time.

Support.
DISASTER IS FORECAST
Minority Sees Hope Ray in
Continued Attempt With
Experiment.

In Scyspps-HoDard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-Follow-
ing are excerpts from the individual
statements Of the eleven members
OF the Wickersham commission.
The first is by Henry w. Anderson:
No law can be enforced unless
1t has the general support Of the
normally law-abiding elements Of
the community.
1T might be within the physical
power OF the federal government
for a time to substantially enforce
the eighteenth amendment and the
national prohibition act. But under
existing conditions, this would re-
quire the creation Of a field organ
ization running high into the thou
sends, with courts, prosecuting
agencies, prisons and liner insti-
tutions in proportion, and would
demand expenditure and measures
beyond the practical and political
limitations of federal power.
This inevitably would lead to
social and political consequences
more disastrous than the evils
sought to be remedied. Even then
the force of social and economic
laws ultimately would prevail. These
laws can not be destroyed by gov
ernmentS, but often in the course of
human history governments have
been destroyed by them.
upon a consideration of the facts
presented in the report of the COM
mission, and of the causes herein
discussed, I am compelled to find
that the eighteenth amendment and
The national prohibition act will not

Ada L. Comstock

The material which has been
brought before the commission has
convinced me that adequate en-
forcement of the eighteenth amend
ment and the national prohibition
act is impossible without the sup
port of a much larger proportion
Of our population than 1t now COM
mands.
Moreover, the conditions which
exist today in respect to enforce
ment and which, in my opinion,
can be modified only slightly by
Improvement In administration,
tend to undermine not only respect
for law, but more fundamental con-
ceptions of personal integrity and
decency. For these reasons, 1 am
one of the members Of the commits
sion who favor an immediate at
tempt at change. I favor revision
of the amendment rather than its
repeal.

COLLEGES OF

Unity in thought that the church
college fill special niche in Amer
lean life was expressed by reports
and addresses in conference of the
Presbyterian College Union and the
Council Of Church Boards in meet
ings in the Claypool, today.
A report Of w. a. Harper, presi-
dent Of Elon College, Elon, N. c., In
the council session criticised reli-
gion education in church schols with
Most courses offered In the field
Of religion are material-centered
and actual. They offer instructions
about religion but do not teach re-
ligion."
He urged that the colleges see to
it that religion is taught.
Philosophy Clearer
Theorists who continually lament
the passing OF the UNCONVENTIONAL
school received a verbal smack from
DR.. Robert l.. Kelly. "Denomina-
tional colleges always have been
passing" he said, and so have
churches and banks, towns and
cities. Many were unwisely
founded"
He held that "denominationalisrn"
might be passing from the colleges,
but not the college.
DR.. E. E. Rail, president of the
Council of Church Boards of Edu-
cation, opened the meeting with an
address urging that colleges and
sen1inaries have a more clearly
formulated philosophy Of higher
Christian education.
Group Holds Election

days meeting.
DR.. A. C. Agne, president of
Huron college, Huron, s. D., in a
talk before the union told of the
forecast Cn2G junior colleges would
invade the middle west and GUST
the church school. He admitted
that critics claiming "over- colleg-
ing" as well as "over- churching"
were, to some degree, right in their
premises.
Music's Place Stressed
He scored the anti-religious views
that creep into church schools with
its Freudism and attitude of "eat,
drink and be merry"
Music's place in Lutheran schools
was stressed by Prof. Ellis Snyder of
Capital university, Columbus, O., at
the National Lutheran Educational
Conference held in the Claypoo1.

but we must not live on our reputa-
tion," he declared.
