More distilleries and whisky rectify-

Maryland liquor law, which imposes no

while tax of $l.10 was placed on each

Many States have passed laws impos-
ing tax on liquor made in the State

where, and this will no doubt influence
many whisky distillers and rectifiers
who have not already erected plants
elsewhere to locate in Maryland.
AS a matter of fact some distillers
operating in other States already have

their rectifying and blending business,

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, December 16.-
Indiana's biennial political pot has
begun to simmer with the active candi-
dacy Of r. Earl Peters, formerly State
chairman, for United States Senator.
Some had thought that Peters, after
being virtually removed as State chair
man by the combined forces Of Senator
Frederick Van Nuys and Gov. Paul ".
McNutt, would not carry out his threat
to seek the Senate, but when he selected
his home city Of Fort Wayne to stage
a coming-out party it looked like he
was In earnest. Fort Wayne has long
Peters faction and reports are current
that one of the leaders, either Sam
Clelland or Sam Jackson, will come out
In opposition to the former Senator.
The strategy In that would be to bind
the fourth district delegates, without
which Peters candidacy would stand
little show In the convention next June
Because forces aligned with Senator
Van NuyS and Gov. McNutt forced
Peters from the State chairmanship, the
public is looking for them to settle on a
candidate to run against him. So far,
however, neither the Senator nor the
Governor has given any indication as to
the identity of the expected candidate.
There are plenty of hopefuls in the
woods, but naturally none cares to essay
the job unless he wins the approval of
the Senator and Governor.

Special Dispatch to rhs Star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, December 16.-
What is believed to be the first attempt
by an industrial group to set aside an
opinion of the United States Supreme
Court interpreting the antitrust laws,
came this week with the filing of a
petition in Federal Court here Of more
than 800 Southern and Appalachian
lumber mills. The main contention Is
that the antitrust laws and the Su-
preme Courts Interpretation are in
striking conflict with the national lum-
Der code.
Thus, the case may bring on a test
of an interesting feature of the indus
trial recovery act, the feature which
virtually set aside the antitrust laws
in order that industrial groups might
form codes and regulations of their
own.
The case of the lumber manufac-
turers probably presents the most strik-
ing conflict between the antitrust laws
and the N. R. A., because it has the
added weight of a Federal injunction
affirmed by the Supreme Court.

Commissioner Kelly declared only 20
State institutions we're in actual liquida-

reorganization or rehabilitation. Four
teen of them have paid dividends rang

Eight State institutions closed before

Spring have been reopened and are
operating without restrictions under
reorganizations and mergers. The
Legislature granted the commissioner
wide powers over directing financial
policies and many mergers have been
effected under his regime, reducing the

What threatened to be an impasse be-

been surmounted and several thousand
men are being put to work this week on
road projects which are being financed

The trouble. now happily over, arose
when Henry G. Shirley. State highway
commissioner, declined last week to
start road work with civil works
money. Mr.. Shirley took the position
that as the law of Virginia makes the
State Highway Department responsible
for the condition Of the roads In the
States two highway systems, now COM
prtsing all the public roads in the
State, he could not afford to permit any
work to be done on the roads unless it
was done under the control and super

allow civil works minimum wage scales
Of As cents per hour for unskilled labor
and $ll0 for skilled labor would dis

the minimums are 80 cents and as cents,
respectively. So for the time civil

which rent the Nation before the War
Of Secession has again become point
of dispute which is stirring Georgia to
the depths.
The City Council Of Augusta last week
passed an ordinance prescribing license
fees for the retail and the wholesale

Such sale is in direct conflict with
the State bone-dry law Of 1917, which
Is far more drastic than was the eight
eenth amendment with the Volstead en-

Council members, In proposing and
adopting the ordinance. stated that such
action was necessary as q step against

it would not make whisky any more
accessible to the citizenry than 1t al
ready Is, and would yield q revenue for
