LOUISVILLE, KY. Nov. 15.-A
ruling by Federal Judge Elwood
Hamilton holding the Guffey Coal
Act constitutional viii be appealed
counsel for 20 coal companies and a
trust company receiver announced
today.
Meanwhile, the petitioning COM
panieS were ordered by Judge Ham
ilton to pay the controversial IL
per cent tax to the court, pending
the appeal. They will not be re-
CURED to pay the IS per cent pen
atty tax imposed on defiant opera
tors.
The companies had attempted to
avoid payment of the taxes on the
ground that the Guffey Act violated
states rights. In his 60-page de-
cision, Judge Hamilton said:
When the states fail or are un-
able to perform public duty, the
doctrine of states rights should not
be barrier to the Federal gov
eminent rendering an essential serv-
ice to the human race.
IF commerce is to be regulated
and controlled for the public well
fare in this country it must be by
the national government, because
the states lack the power to make
effective their own regulations.

Ramsay Macdonald Loses

LONDON, Nov. 15.-The govern
ment won the general election when
its majority passed the necessary
mark of 303 seats in the counting of
votes this afternoon.
The victory became more pro-
nounced as returns continued TO
come in.
Labor headquarters, admitting
clear-cut government victory, said 1t
expected the government majority
to be between 200 and $50 seats
Labor made gains, but not as much
as expected. 1t will have a stronger
voice in Parliament than in the last
session, but never enough to upset
the government.
The Liberals slipped and Labors
gains we're made from all parties
including the Conservatives. The
defeat of Sir Herbert Samuel, lead
er of the main branch of the divid-
ed Liberty Party. left David Lloyc
George, former Liberal leader, in a
stronger position, with chance to
unite the Liberal units.
The main government casualty
was j. Ramsay Macdonald, former
leader of the Labor Party, who
brought it to the height of its powe;
as pane minister. He was defeated
in his constituency of Seaham after
a vitriolic campaign, by E. Shinwell
Laborite, with a vote of 1880 to
1882.
Macdonald, lord president of the
council, may remain in the govern
ment, however, and his long and
dramatic political career is not
necessarily ended,
Conservative headquarters were
elated by the result. 1t means that
Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin and
the old die-hard Tory regime is
firmly in the saddle.

tive, rode back into Parliament with

NEW YORK. Nov. 15.-John D.
Rockefeller Jr. has withdrawn
financial support from the unified
budget of the Northern Baptist
Church in favor of inter denomina
tional projects, he revealed today.
His donations to religious institu-
tons, heretofore so large that a
Baptist minister once warned his
denomination it was in danger of
becoming "the religious department
of the Standard Oil Co." will be
planned henceforth to promote the
oneness of Christian purpose
Mr.. Rockefeller was reared in the
Baptist faith and followed his father
in giving liberal financial support
as we'll as personal work. He for
merly taught a Bible class in the
Fifth Avenue Baptist Church and
has given ineStimable millions of
dollars to the denomination.
Baptist leaders attributed his &C
ton to his known dissatisfaction
with results obtained by sectarian
foreign missions. He sent a per-
sonal investigating commission
abroad in 1888. It's unflattering re-
port was widely criticized as the
opinion Of men who had not lived
in the field.

BITTERLY ATTACKED BY
STATE LIQUOR DEALERS
go County Retailers Must
Close Bars; Failed to

EXCISE MEN TO CHECK
City Police Are Asked to
Cooperate; Hearings
on Monday.

Approximately 80 Marion

was learned today.
The majority of these applications
will come before the state Alcoholic

cations through the state depart

Richard Shirley. secretary and
member Of the ABC, said that re-
tailers selling without permit Will

more retailers to obtain licenses was
due in most cases to delay in filing
Mr.. Shirley said
State excise police will check to
see that none of the licensed
retailers make sales, he said. City
police are to be asked to cooperate
Old System Bows Out
Possibility of the shutdown was
seen as the monopolistic importer
system, highly controversial section
of Indiana's 1888 liquor law passed
into discard today with the advent
of port of entry dealers.
The change brought into effect
final provisions of the 1885 law anc
marked the deadline for extended
retail permits issued under the ole
statute.
Principal immediate effect of the
change was an increase in number
of persons eligible to import foreign
beer and distribute it throughout
the state.
The old law limited the state t.
10 importers and they, in turn, were
restricted to selling only within then
individual districts.
Ia Permits Issued
Holders of port of entry" per-
mits will be allowed to sell beer any
place in the state.
In answer to complaints that the
importer system permitted mon
opoly for friends of the Demo-
cratic state administration, the 1885
Legislature decreed that there may
be mot less than 10 nor more than
100 ports of entry" in the state.
At least IA such permits will
have been issued by the Alcoholic
Beverages Commission when the
change becomes effective at to-
night, Paul P. Fry, excise admin
iStrator, said.
Only 10 other applications are
on file at present but Fry antici-
pates many additional. Those on
file are new firms which must be
investigated before receiving action,
he added
Collect State Tax
Fry also announced rule which
he expects to prevent large out
of state breweries from obtaining
monopolies through the new system.
Chief function of port of entry
is to collect the state tax on i'm
ported beer. Licenses cost $500 a
year and holders are required to
provide $4,000 bond.
State revenue from beer taxes
averages about 100000 a month,
most of which comes from Indiana
made beer. Imported brands, retail
ing at prices slightly higher than
the domestic product, do not enjoy
as great a volume of sale.

Distributors, it is believed,
will align themselves with
consumers against the request
AS a matter Of customer good
will.
Producers give as this reason for
wanting an increase the seasonal
upward trend in the cost of produc-
ing milk.
A similar request of Columbus
Gnd) producers, now before the
state board, has been opposed by
distributors so stubbornly that
farmers threaten to strike if it is not
granted.
Farmers pointed out that herds
unable to Craze in winter pastures
must eat high priced feed, thus in
creasing milk production costs.
They say their proposed price in
crease would be necessary for about
four months. Then consumer prob
baly would return to the present
rate, 8 cents over the counter and
10 cents delivered, according to the
producers.
Settlement Is Expected
Producers prices of all three
classes of milk would be raised
Glass l, by IS cents a hundred
weight; Glass 2, by about 10 per
cent, and Glass 3, only slightly.
There are As quarts in each 100
pounds of milk. Thus the price to
the consumer would be raised by
as cents, but the price to the dis
tributor would be but 35 cents
greater 100 pounds, leaving him
a net profit of IL cents a hundred
weight if the petition is granted.
At Columbus observers expect ar
amicable settlement of this dispute
with producers getting their increase
and consumers paying an extra cent
a quart for milk.
