Increased railroad, telephone and telegraph rates ordered by the railroad administration and by the postmaster general, respec tively, Tere sustained yesterday by thc United States Supreme Court, which held that the war powers conferred by Congress upon the President included sweeping control over the rnilroad and wire systems, with "supreme and con clusive" authority to fix intrastate rates. These questions were derided in two opinions rendered by Chief Justice White. Thc one relative to the rail road rates was unnnlmous, while Jus tice Urandeis dissented in the telephone and telegraph decision, but without rendering a separate opinion. The opin ions affect litigations which have been instituted in about forty states and which involved the validity of both rate orders. As a result of the court's opinion, Injunctions -restraining the director general of railroads from enforcing au order increasing freight and passenger rates in North Dakota were dissolved. The court also upheld the dismissal of proceedings brought by Slassachu setts state authorities to prevent intra state telephone rates in that btate being increased and set aBide injunctions preventing advance of telephone rates in South Dakota and telegraph rates Mu Illinois, in auumon, uie court aiso i . . , i t t i. l f dismissed an original suit brought by the state of Kansas against the post master general Fecking to have the rates prescribed by him In that state declared unreasonable and to prevent them from being made effective. Ju deciding tne cases tne court nem that the resolutions under which the government took over control of these utilities, together with the President's proclamations and the railroad control act, gave the United States "complete possession and control" under the war powers and that Congress had n right to confer these powers upon thc Presi dent. "Upon the fare of the statutes," Chief Justice White said in deciding the railroad case, "it is manifest thai they were in terms based upon the war nower. since the authority they gave arose only because of the existence of war. and the rights to exert such au thority was to cease upon the war's termination. To interpret, therefore, the exercise of the power by a pre sumption of the continuance of n state power limiting and controlling the na tional authority was but to deny its existence." "Although it may be conceded," the chief justice said in the telephone case, "that there is some ground for con tending, in view of the elements of au thority enumerated In the resolution of Congress, that there was power given to take less than thc whole If the Presi dent deemed it best to do so, we nre of the opinion that authority was con ferred as to all the enumerated ele ments and that there was hence a right in thc President to take complete pos session and control to enable the full operation of thc lines embraced in the authority." Members of Congress regarded the opinions with interest and declared the court's views would aid them greatly in formulating wire and railroad legis lation. The Senate interstate commerce committee met today 'to consider the resolution of Senator Kellogg, of Min nesota, providing for the repeal of the act under which the wires were taken over and for return of the properties to private ownership on June HO. The committee expects to report favorably today a measure providing for the turn ing back of thc wire systems. vtr " 7S M XT BONDAY JUNE 8 Washington $2-25 Baltimore $2-25 War Tit 8 additional Special train leavea Bread Street Station 7:50 A.

II JEWELERS SILVERSMITHS Ey nnund JZrm Trip LEGAL MOVES WILL KEEP BEER FLOWING War Brow Will Stay Through Summer at Least Until Courts Hear Appoals TRIAL MAY BE IN JULY New Yorh, June .1. Bcej of 2"Ji per cent nlcohollc content will continue to flow nil summer as the result of the legal complications which loomed up in thc wake of United States District At torney Caffey's appeal ngaVt the in junction ot the federal ce rr, which re strnins him from interfering wUh the pioduction of tho hitherto .mort popular summer beverage. Mr. Caffey yesterday filed an appeal against the decisions of Judges Hand and Mayer which resulted In thc grant ing of tho injunction to t'nc brewers rep resented by Klihu Root's firm. This appeal will be submitted before tho United States Circuit Court of Appeals June 17. If that court then decides tho injunction is proper, the district court will be asked to try nt the earliest pos sible date the issue ns to whether 2 per cent beer Is or Is not Intoxicating. If the Circuit Court of Appeals de cides the injunction should he dissolved, such n decision, according to Ilmery R. IJuckner, of Mr. Root's nrni, would be promptly carried to the Supreme Court on a further appeal by the brewers. The Supreme Court will bo in sum mer recess before the nnneal could be heard and no determination possibly could be affected until the court recon ciles iu the fall. Pending this, Mr. Iliickner said he felt confident nny court would grant a stay which would protect the brewers in their business pending final determination. Though only the Jncob Hoffman Rrcwcrics of this city are involved in the present litigation, both sides hnve agreed to regard it as a test case. Other brewers in various parts of thc country are making li1)! per cent beer, and At torney General Palmer has stated he will institute no prosecutions until the matter Is finally ndjudicatcd. In thc same way, if the district court decides the merits of the case, whether 2"'t per cent beer is or is not intoxi cating, cither side will take an appenl, it was stated today, and in the same way no final decision can be reached until the Supreme Court reconvenes in the fall. Should thc actual intoxicating properties of the beer come to trial, this trial probably will be in the middle of July. CITY TYPHOID CASES TOTAL 383 IN YEAR Philadelphia Ranks Only Below Chicago and Boston in Deaths From Disease Tj phoid here has been reduced in the number ot cases from C587 in 1004 to 3S3 last jenr, according to figures given out by Dr. Wllmer Krusen, health director. Thc figure for 1018, 383, shows a reduction of 38 per cent from the total for 1017, 623. These are the statistics to be presented to Mayor Smith in a few days as part of Doctor Kruscn's annual report. They confirm in striking fashion data compiled in the typhoid survey of the Journal of the American Medical As sociation, just published, which show that Philadelphia now stands only be low Chicago and Boston, among the larger cities, in the lowness of its death rate from this disease. This city has a rate ot .f.u for every one hundred thousand of population. In Chicago tne rate is 1.4 anu in Hoston .o. .uoctor Krusen added that not a single death in Philadelphia from ty phoid was due to the water supply.

TO OPEN IN SENATE Friends of Measure Hope for Final Vote Before Ad journment Today DAYLIGHT LAW IN HOUSE Washington, June 3. Senators championing nnd opposing thc House resolution for submission of a woman suffrage constitutional amendment made final plans for opening of Senate debate on tho measure today. Thc resolution's friends hope for a final vote before ad journment. Senator Underwood, Democrat, of Alabama, introduced an amendment yes terday proposing that action on the pro posed constitutional nmendment be taken by popular state conventions and not by the legislatures. Managers of the resolution late yes tcrday said an ngrcement had been reached with Senator Johnson, Repub lican, of California, by which ho will agree to give right of way to the suf frage measure and temporarily lay nside his resolution requesting the text of thc German peace treaty. Friends of the daylight-saving law appeared before the House interstate commerce committee to fight the pro posals for its repeal. Sidney M. Col gate, of Colgate & Co., representing the International Daylight-Saving As sociation, Xew York Da light-Saving Association and thc Merchants' Asso ciation of New York, was a principal witness. Mr. Colgate said he believed daylight- saving resulted in increased efficiency,. a better spirit nnd better health among employes and workers generally. He asked the committee not to be hasty in reaching a decision to repeal the law and urged that he be allowed to preseut next week facts relnting to thc law. He said experience in the Colgate plant has made sentiment there virtually unani mous against repeal of the law. Josephine D. Sutton, representing Lincoln Filcne, of William Fileno & Son, Uoston, told thc committee she be lieved New England is overwhelmingly against repeal. She said in tho Filene plant there are 2800 cmplojcs and they faor the law. You Can Have Fresh Coffee With Dinner or Afterwards Some folks prefer cofTee served with dinner others like It later.

'itable courage and will power, wmch are attributes of the men of rugged oharacter and phy sique that the hills of Northerri Pennsylvania raise. I wouldn't have missed this unex pected .meeting of these forty-seven men for nnvthtne. UnrMninr ,, knowledge of the Wilson and Com pany organization has been con fined largely to personal contact With the rank and file of arni-lfnra In the Chicago and New York plants. naa not been my pleasure to meet sales representatives in a convention of their own. This convention of the managers of branches and sales-t men of Wilson and Company irt tha Northeastern District of Pennsvl- vania. had been nlnnnpd tn rllarnoa Ways and menTlQ Vinttoi. nramntl the sale of the Wilson Certified fooj products such as the smoked meats. boiled hams, sausnira and canned fruits, vegetables and meats. It was my privilege to sit in their meeting and I am very glad I had the opportunity, because these men have got it in their souls to pro mote the interests of their Chief, Thomas E. Wilson, who has put in telligence and integrity into food products, something that has given his name and his products a reputa tion which permits his sales organi zations in all sections of the country to sell Wilson Certified Brands un der their good name and quality, without necessitating salesmen to carry samples. I heard a new phrase used by one of the .branch managers that I think is a "corker," and I am passing it along to you because you will ap preciate what it means for an or ganization to be backed up by men who are as proud of its achieve ments in food productions as if they owned the business themselves. This is what he said: "Isn't it great, boys, to be asso ciated with an organization in which our CONFIDENCE IS CERTI FIED to as great an extent as the Certified products which we have the pleasure of selling? You can't beat that, boys, can you?" Did you ever hear before the ex- Sression "Certified Confidence?" o you appreciate what it means? How many friends have you got on your list in whom you haye "certi fied confidence," , Answering that question for your selves, you know what it jneans then when I tell you that this Northeast ern Division of Pennsylvania branch workers and salesmen, as well as the other divisions of salesmen in all sections of the country HAVE "Cer tified Confidence" in Thomas E. Wil son and his food products. Tho Chairman cT the meeting mad these remarks: "With the splendid backing that our sales people are getting from Mr. Wilson and his family of executives and his associate workers in th va lioua p'.cr.ts, Ye must pull together and seo to it that Wilson products may be found on sale on tho shelves of every food merchant in our ter ritory. Wilson products must be liberally distributed among dealers so that the consumer will have no difficulty in buying them. We must develop and cultivate the trade of the Bmall dealer. We must not overlook tho fact that the small dealer is the large dealer of next year. Banded together as we are no rower on earth can hold us back from, making a place for our Com pany and ourselves in the business world. We know that the policy Sf the business is sound to the core and the fact that our motto "The Wilson Label Protects Your Table" insures a equare deal for all, there is no reason why dealers everywhere should not carry a full line of Wil son and Company products thus enabling us to establish a wonder ful chain of dealers handling Certi fied foods from one end of the coun try to the other, and through these dealers establishing a splendid rela tionship between the consumers knd our organization. We have conn donee in our Company and In its methods we hava confidence in our selves and with thepj three funda mentals we cai.not (eXi to build a business that trill endure in honor andservice fcrvsr." s Tha general consensus of opiMwi among the yty-seven representing the IRON DIVISION of Wilson and Company in Northeastern Penn sylvania, is that it is an honor to be on the Wilson and Company pay roll, and that it gives them an op portunity to satisfy their own ambk tion in life. They say that they like to be identified with an organization which stands for idealism and CER TIFIED PRACTICE in business. One man, in speaking of Wilson and Company's Certified Boiled Hams, said; "Boys, if we have any difficulty in persuading any dealer to buy Wil son and Company's Certified Boiled Hams from us, it's our own fault."
