NEW DEAL WINS
SILVER TAX CASE
Supreme Court Upholds Re-
troactive Levy-D. c. Jury
Rehearing Denied.
BY JOHN H. CLINE.

The New Deal won another victory
in the Supreme Court today when that
tribunal delivered decision upholding
the validity of the retroactive tax on
silver transactions in the early part
Of 1894.
Under the provisions of this statute,
which had been declared unconstitu-
tional in the Court Of Claims, the Gov
ernment had collected approximately
100000. The Supreme Courts opin-
ion. delivered by Associate Justice Van
Devanter. was unanimous. In other
important actions, the court:
Noted probable jurisdiction in the
appeal by the Highland Farms Dairy
and Luther w. High. local milk dealer
from q lower court decision upholdins
the validity Of the Virginia milk con-
troll act.
Ordered the disbarment In the Su-
preme Court of Attorney Jesse C.
Duke, who appeared for former Rep
resentative John H. Hoeppel of Cali
fornia. The Representative was
charged. with his son. Of conSpiring TO
sell West Point appointment.
Rehearing Request Denied.
Refused q request for a rehearing
Of its recent decision declaring Gov
ernment employees eligible for service
on criminal juries in the District.
Declined to review the conviction III
New York of Mae Scheible on white
slave charges. She had contended
agents searched her apartment and
seized evidence in violation of her
constitutional rights.
The justices withheld their opinion
on the constitutionality of the State
Of Washington,s law prescribing mini
mum wages for women and q Mass
achusetts case brought to determine
whether the 1888 resolution prohibit
ing the payments Of obligations in gold
applies to bullion as well as coin. Like
wise. the court did not announce
whether it will reconsider its ruling
upholding the constitutionality of New
York'S unemployment insurance law.
The attack on the silver profits tax
was filed by Percy K. Hudson. q New
York broker, who contended the retro.
active feature of the act was uncon.
stitutional under the fifth amendment
since it was unreasonable and arbi-
trary."

quest for martial law. A vigilante
told John ]. Devine, special investi-
gator of the Pennsylvania State De-
partment of Justice: Three days
more and we woulda had this strike
broken, if that damn Earle hadn't
slapped on the martial law" Is it
possible that Ellicott and Boyle were
expecting violence? Did it seem that
if Earle refused to grant martial law
he could then be charged with re-
sponsibility for whatever happened
later? Would that have ruined
Earle's career?
The most reasonable explanation
l have heard-and it comes from a
source close to Earle-is that when
the request for martial law came
through, the Governor telephoned
John Lewis and asked whether the
miners march had been ordered.
Apparently Lewis and Murray gave
substance to the shadow by ordering
the march, making a reality Of a
wholly imaginary situation and
thereby justifying the martial law
and saving the strike.
The known plotting and ruthless
measures resorted to in Johnstown
by some of the '1aw-and-order'' ele-
ments suggest that the same elements

never forget his back as he went out.
But the strangest story of all re-
wolves about the declaration of mar
tial law by Governor Earle. Robert
Lyle of the United Press, by some
smart work, traced the telephone call
to Governor Earle in which Sheriff
Michael j. Boyle of Cambria County
asked for martial law, on the ground
that 10000 coal miners were march
ing on Johnstown to support the
steel strikers. That call was made
on Friday, June ID.
Lyle traced the call to the execu-
tive offices of the Bethlehem Steel
Company in Johnstown. Queried by
Lytle, Sheriff Boyle admitted max
ing the call from the Bethlehem Of
fees and said General Manager Eli
colt had helped him draft the appeal
for martial law. Later l asked James
Mark, leader of the strike in Johns
town and president of District 2 of
the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, when he had given his miners
the order to march on Johnstown.
Saturday, June 49," he replied.
Are you sure you did not order
the march on Friday, June 1872"
asked.
81 am certain" he stated. q had
no such idea until I talked with Phil
Murray on Saturday morning"
That seemed curious. The only
man who could have ordered the
miners to march was Mark. If Lewis
or Murray had ordered it, they could
have got their message out only
through Mark. Yet Sheriff Boyle
and General Manager Ellicott had
known it on Friday, twenty-four
hours before Mark knew it.
Governor Earle's supporters are
still wondering whether Sheriff
Boyle and Mr.. Ellicott did not think
the Governor would refuse their re-

gan bank.

gan bank.
A word about the five. Ellicott
is known throughout the steel mill
region as an intransigeant union
hater; Suppes is entirely dependent
for his big financial business on
Bethlehem; Martin is president of
the Johnstown Chamber of Com
merce and is chairman of the vigi-
lante Citizens Committee; Hickman
was Martins lieutenant in organizing
and leading the v~igilantes; Mayor
Shields is an ex-convict. Shields
played his part in supplying the
vigilantes. OF the 700 v~igilantes, 600
came from the local civil-service lists
for police and firemen jobs. When
they were sworn in for strike duty,
they were told that this job was a
test of their fitness to hold city jobs.
Suppes, whose bank holds hundreds
of farm mortgages, at the same time
announced he had 300 farmers pre-
pared to do for Johnstown what the
farmers did for Hershey"
The Reverend -- is pastor of
a Protestant church in Johnstown.
On the Sunday after martial law was
declared by Governor Earle, I was
discussing the local situation with
him on the street. A number of his
parishioners SUI rounded us. The
general tone of the conversation led
me to understand that the Reverend
Mr.. - was opposed to the strike.
With nothing more immediate in
mind, I inquired:
Are you one of the Bishop Nc
Cornell school of social thought or
are you on the other side of the
~fence?" He replied that he disagreed
with much that Bishop Mcconnell
has said and done.
The next morning, at the hotel,
my telephone rang. 1t was the Rev
erend Mr.. -, and his voice was
agitated. He wanted to come right
up to see me. I told him to come
ahead. He arrived, looking like a
man undergoing a severe strain.
my conscience is troubling me-"
he said.
What about?" I asked.
well, you asked me a lot of ques-
lions yesterday and, well I
wasn't quite truthful. AS a matter
of fact, I am an intense admirer of
Bishop Mcconnell and agree with
him fully" I drew him on, and let
him talk. It turned out that the
Reverend MI. -- was in reality
genuinely sympathetic with the
strikers. Toward the end of his con-
fession, he dug into his pocket,
pulled out a sheet of paper, and
thrust it at me
Here, read this" he said, land
tell me what you think of it."
It was the rough draft of a reso-
luton which condemned the action
of Governor Earle in declaring mar
tial law, stated that the community
was opposed to the strike, and that
the steel workers themselves were
opposed to it.
what is this?" I asked.
cts the rough draft of a resolution
which 1 have been asked to draw UP
to present to the Ministerial Associa-
ton" he answered.
But you don't believe thisl" I ex-
claimed.
He sighed heavily, and drew a

the Cambria mills in order to dis
credit the strike. Who did think of
dynamite? In all the time | spent
with the strikers at Johnstown l
never heard a word suggesting
sabotage. l did hear how easy it
would be to stop the Cambria mill
by blasting the water main. I heard
it ten days before it happened. 1t
was suggested to me by a policeman
in Johnstown. The dynamiters were
careful, l notice, to do no real dam
age, as the management has since
admitted.
There's plenty that's phony in

Results Would Be the
Same with Negroes

TIE signature of the Bureau Of
fetal writing the letter to Mr.. Owen
was 1ndecipherable, but, drawing
a comparison between the Filipinos
and Negroes, this statement was
made: "'There is no reason to be-
lieve that such an experiment with
mel of the coldred race would pro-
duce any different results. Expert
ence of many years in the Navy has
shown clearly that of the colored
race, if enlisted in any other than
the Messman branch, and promoted
to the position of petty officer,
cannot maintain discipline" The
writer, however, does not give the
basis for this statement or state
where, when or how, experiments
with Negro officers were conducted.
The Bureau letter also explained
that men who enlist in the navy are
not assigned to any particular ship
but are required to serve wherever
needed, and that for this reason
no provision can be made for any
particular ship to be manned en-
tirely by Negro sailors. The com
m~unication has caused widespread
comment here and in other coast
cities because of the proximity of
the naval base at San Diego and
because young Negroes do not seek
tho navy as a career, knowing the
many restrictions that would be i'm
posed against them.

Jesus Praying for His Disciples,
John 1861; 17:14-26, for Sunday,
March IA:
Jesus clearly told his disciples
that hardships would be theirs, but
he assured them of the strength
provided for them; at the close of
his long conversation with his dis
ciples, he offers prayer for them.
v. 5, 6. But now l go away to
Him that sent me; and none of you
asketh me, whittier goest thou? But
because l have said these things sor-
row hath filled your hearts," The
disciples gave themselves up to grief
instead of inquiring why he was
about to leave them; if we come to
him with our SORROWS he will give
US consolation.
V. 7. "Nevertheless I tell you the
truth; it is expedient for you that
/ go away; for if / go not away the
Comforter will not come unto you;
but if I depart, will send him unto
you" Christ's bodily presence was
limited to one place; the Spirit
could be poured outsanywhere. Had
Christ remained in the flesh, the
pendence upon him as a visible lead
er. After his departure they were
more independent and resourceful,
trusting in the invisible Holy Spirit
for guidance.

shouldest take them out OF the
