Only 80, 600 British Coal Miners
Return To Work; 20, 900 Still Out

LONDON, March 49, R Only
30, 900 of Britain's striking coal
miners returned to work today
while 10000 others ignored the ap-
peals of the government and their
own union leaders alike as the
strike went into it's second week.
In Wales dozens of the biggest
pits in the country-some of them
almost in sight of army camps
where American Doughboys are
training for the invasion-remain-
ed idle in the dispute which is
costing the country at least $780,
900 tons of coal a week.
The South Wales miners fedora
ton in Cardiff announced poll of
strikers showed $4,000 in favor of
returning to work and 10000 for
holding out until the government
grants all their wage demands but
it was not clear whether the lat
ter would be influenced by the ma
jority vote. At one pit, 1000 miners
who had voted to return held last
minute mass meeting, changed
their minds and went home again.
Outside of appeals in the name
of patriotism for the men to re-
turn to their jobs, the govern

RITES SCHEDULED
FOR DR.. BULLOCK
CONTINUED from Page One)

Maryland in 1911. He came to Will
mington shortly afterwards ana
was associated with his father in
the practice of medicine until the
start of World War I, when he
entered the Army Medical corps
with the rank of First Lieuten-
ant.
Following the war, he return
ed here and resumed practice.
Later, he started erection OF the
hospital and the modern 35-bed
institution, at 221 N. Front St.,
was opened in 1922. It is consid-
cred one of the best hospitals OF
its type in the state and, under
the direction Of DR.. Bullock, has
filled a great need in the COM
munity and Southeastern North
Carolina.
DR.. Bullock was a Fellow in
the American College of Surgeons,
a member Of the American Medi-
cal Association, past president Of
the New Hanover Medical society
and a former vice president Of
the North Carolina Medical So
ciety. He was also affiliated with
the Woodmen of the World and
Odd Fellows and was a former
member Of the Propeller club of
the Port of Wilmington.
Although operation of the hos
pital required practically all his
time, he did find occasion to take
considerable postgraduate study
in special phases of surgery and
medicine during his career. In
speaking of his death today,
friends and associates said it was
probably brought about by over
work from increased demands on
the city's physicians and medical
facilities in the past few years.
He is survived by his widow,
Mrs. Mary H. Bullock; two sons,
David Ernest Bullock, of Will
mington, and Matt Heyer Bullock,
a student at Guilford college;
three daughters, Miss Mary Bell
Bullock, student at Columbia
university; Mrs. Werner c. Brown,
of Wilmington, Del, and Miss
Alice Lee Bullock, a student at
Louisburg college, and one sister,
Miss Maude Bullock, of Whining
ton.

LIQUOR SEIZURE
| IS HELD ILLEGAL

WASHINGTON, March. 10 IN
The Supreme Court today held I'll
legal and wholly without justifica.
tom Oklahoma's seizure of ship
ment of wine and whiskey from
outside the state to several hum
dreds Army officers at Fort Sill
military reservation.
The 7 to 2 decision upheld Fed
eral District Courts order for re-
turn of the confiscated liquor to
Yellow Cab Transit Company,
which was transporting it from
East St. Louis, ILL.,, to the Fort
Sill officers club. Members Of the
club had ordered the liquor through
the club secretary.
Justice Blacks majority opinion
declared that there was no Okla.
homa law which prohibited or reg'1-
lated interstate shipments Of liquor
through the state to another state
or to an area subjects to the exclu-
sive jurisdiction of the United
States.
Oklahoma, Justice Black said
had coded to the Federal Govern.
ment in 1913 whatever authority
it ever could have exercised in the
reservation. Furthermore. the
court ruled, the transaction did not
violate a Federal law prohibiting
sale of beer, wine or whiskey in
post exchange, canteen or any area
used for military purposes by the
United States.
The court said it would not rule
on the question whether the trans
action might violate the "assimi]a.
tive" crimes statute, which would
make any Oklahoma law relating
to liquor regulation the Federal
law at Fort Sill. It was explained
this question could not properly he
settled because neither the United
States nor the Army officers who
received the whisky were repre-
scented in the case.
Justice Frankfurter, dissenting
along with Justice Roberts, argu-
ed, however, that the transaction
violated an Oklahoma law of 1917
prohibiting any person in the state
from receiving liquor from a COM
mon carrier. Under the assimila-
tive crimes statute, Frankfurter

School Property Use
For Fund Raising
Limited by Boards

Proposals that the use of public
school property for Undertaking
purposes be permitted civic and edu-
cational organizations not directly
associated with the schools and
Recreation Department were reject
ed yesterday by representatives Of
the Education and Recreation
Boards.
The joint group, invited to sug-
gest regulations on the community
use of public schools and grounds,
recommended a continuation of
other general policies, with some re-
visions designed to clarity admins
tration and responsibilities. Their
report will be submitted tomorrow to
the Board Of Education which is
working on a general revision Of its
rules.
Arguments Fail.
Protests that present restrictions
on Embarrassing events work a spe-
cial hardship on colored organiza-
tons because of limited facilities
here for colored gatherings were
voiced by Mrs. Alice Hunter OF the
Recreation Board and Mrs. Velma
G.. Williams of the Education Board.
Arguments that 1t would be I'm
possible to draw the line if the pres
ent restrictions were liberalized pre-
vailed, however, as the group voted,
5 to 2, against revision Of regula-
tons on that point.
The current rule bans the use of
school facilities for commercial
uses. for private profit or for money
raising purposes" 1t is stipulated,
however. that this rule shall not pre-
clude District public school and it's
pupil, alumni or parent-teacher or
CARNATIONS from raising funds for
District public school purposes. Nor
does 1t preclude the District Recre-
alton Board from raising funds for
the payment of necessary expenses
Of community and recreatiohal &C
tivities which the department Or
ganizes and directs as an integral
part of its program"

OF Education. These Embarrassing
efforts continue.
Declaring there is constant pres

Milo r. Christensen, superintendent
Of the Recreation Department, pre-
dicted that "the minute you let the
bars down, thousands OF worthy or

mate that it will take from three to
five years for this. In the mean
time, no crops can be grown.
