federal legislation must remain inoper
ative as relates to too iine .sew
Jcrsev, as well as tho state of Penn
sylvania, until concurrent legislation is
adopted.' .,..,.
".fudge lionnlwell simply is wrong
In his law. 'Concurrent,' ns a legal
term, does not mean what he think-.
It means. He hasn't looked up bis
law books. ..,.,,,., .,
" 'Concurrent jurisdiction is legally
defined ns 'that of several different
tribunals, each authorized to deal with
the same subject matter.'
"What Judge lUinnlwell has in mind
is that some action would be required
by the state Legislatures to mnke the
federal prohibition law effective.
"This is not the case. It has been
squarely lipid that where thprp is any
conflict between the laws of two juris
dictions. Hie law which is the more
restrictive in its character must pre
vail. "Hence, if Pennsylvania wore to
enact a law that the alcoholic content
of bevprages must not exceed 1 .per
cent this law would come in (onflic'
with the federal law that they must
not exceed one-half of 1 per cent in
alcoholic content. In such a case the
federal law. being the more restrictive,
would prevail. It would prevail in
every ease where a man was brought
before a federal court for infraction of
the law. ,
"This is where Judge Iionniwoll is
wrong on tho proposition. The federal
law would be supreme and no lawyer
would dare advise his client to the
contrary, because Uncle Sam has an
extremely long arm.
"Judge Iionniwoll, in his letter,
speaks of the 'ill-considered and un
tenable opinion expressed in the veto
by the Governor of Pennsylvania of the
Itamsey act, to tho effect that the Con
gress have already decioed that whore
federal nnd state legislation is in con
flict, the federal legislation operates.'
"The Governor of Pennsylvania was
right in vetoing the Ramsey act, for the
reason that it attempted to set a stand
ard alcoholic content which conflicted
with thnt set by the federal govern
ment. "I am certnin thnt if Judge lionni
well would step down from the bench
and tnke his place among us practicing
lawyers he would never advise his
clients to go against the federal law.
"If the states enact legislation to
enforce the eighteenth amendment, there
will be no conflict between the states
and the federal government, because a
man tried in the federal courts will
have the federal law measured out to
him. while a man tried in the state
courts will be tried according to the
requirements of the state law.
"As a practical matter, persons will
observe the more drastic of the two
laws because they would be afraid to
be brought before the federal courts if
the federal law were the more drastic;
before tho state courts if the state
law were the more drastic The fed
eral law provided nn alcoholic content
of one-half of 1 per cent. In some
states it is proposed that no alcoholic
content whatever bo permitted. In
states where this more drastic state
provision becomes the law persons could
not sell beverages containing oven as
much as one-half of 1 per cent of alco
hol. If they did they would be arrested
by the state officials and punished un
der the state law.
"There is nn danger that the gov
ernor of Now Jersey will not aid in
the enforeeinent of the law, as I see he
is quoted in nn interview as saying
that lie will enforce the federal enact
ment provided it is not held to bo un
constitutional." -v
Sir. Sehaffcr was asked what he
thought of the propriety of a member
of the bench issuing a statement such
as that made by Judge Iionn,hvell.
"Tho question of the propriety of a
judge on the benrli making such a state
ment," Mr. Schaffor answered, "re
solves itself into a question of good
taste. Ah in nil matters of good taste,
a man siinply has to reconcile it with
liimsejf."

I Seo "Healthy Sign of Times" in
Decision of Miners to Call
Off Strike
.'"""" 'V ". ..,..,..,.- .- .... ...,,
, ..,.,.. ..... ,, , !...,.,
Ilo.ijtliy Sign of Times
"I am overwhelmed by the new.
I simply cannot find words to eess
my feelings. It will bo a great tiling
for the country. In every way this de
cision of the mine workers to how to
tho ruling of the federal courts is a
healthy sign of the times. And espe
cially is it a matter for congratulation
that tills result was broiigh about by
the government, instead of by the coal
operators."
Now that the United Mine Workers
have yielded to the pressure of the gov
ernment, the operators are interested
to see how thoroughly the order will
be obeyed by the striking niiuers every
where. Frank II. Wigtou, president of tho
Morristlale Coal Co. and one of the
most i'nlluentlal of the coal operators,
took this view.
"What we are all curious to see,"
he said, "is what the effect will be.
In my experience it is always easier to
order a strike than to call it off. Judg
ing from past experiences, there will be
it great divergence of action.
"I take it for granted that a con
ference will now be asked for between
the operators and the miners' ropro
.snPtatives. I'ii'p'-'- the men actually get
back to work it may be difficult to huo
such a conference.
Not Antagonistic to Iabor
' "There is no antagonism to labor
on the part of the operators. Wo would
greatly prefer to deal with tho men
in a mass. It is a distinct iitlvuntiige
to have uniform wage agreements. Hut
it is essential that we deal with re
sponsible people. Wo are not in op
position to letting labor get the highest
pay it can. but it must be brought home
to labor nnd to the country nt largo
hat agreements entered into must be
observed rigorously."
With the strike off, and the prospect
of the men going baokn, to work looming
up as tho next development, the ques
tion of tines becomes one of interest and
importance
The three-cornered ligrcemcnt entered
into between the government, represent
ed by Doctor (iarfiold: the mine opera
tors and the mine workers provides that
n fine of .1 a day shall be imposed on
miners for', failure to lit o up to the
agreonipnt's provisions by absenting
themselves from the mines.
It is stipulated also that any coal
operator who fails to impose this tine
must himself pay a fine of $2 per day
per man. Pines collected by operators
nrp turned over to the operators' asso
ciation. Fines paid by operators foT
failure to mulct the men are to be turn
ed in to tho United Mine Workers' or
ganization. .
"There is the deuce to pay in the
coal regions now," -aid oue prominent
operator, "over the assessment of these
tines. The October pay period began
lat Saturday and continues until this
Saturday. The fines to be assessed in
the coal fields will come to nn enormous
amount. Say that 2Ci;000 miners were
on strike, to be conservative. They
have been out ten days. At one dollar
per dav per man this will come to
SUOO.OOO.
"If It is decided that the strike was
not a violation of the contract, this
money will be turnd back to the miners.
If it was in violation of contract, the
tines will be retained by the operators'
association, not by individual opera
tors. When the men began to be paid
off last Saturday for October the
amounts of the lines were deducted from
their pay."

Ilritisli throne, nrrlvoi! In Washington
today nnd was wplcompd br Vice Prcs
Idpnt Marshall, acting for President
Wilson. Hecpptinn ceremonies at the
I'nlon Station were informal, although
cabinet officers nnd high officers of the
nrmy were gathered to groet thp jouth
fill visitor, who will spend tlirep das
in tho national enpitnl beforp visiting
Nrw York on his un. home.
A drizzling rain did not prevent the
gathering of interested crowds along the
route over which the prince nnd his
party, preceded by a cavalry escort,
passed to tho Perry Itelmont homo re

Prlnre Grins at Pershing
The prince's special car was on the
end of nn unuuallj long train nut! it
stopped far outside tho tralnshod. Mr.
Marshall, the cabinpt members. Gen
eral Pershing. General March. Admiral
Coontz. chief of naval operations, and
the other American officials moved out
through the rain to tho steps of the
car. Viscount Grey. Ilritisli ambassa
dor, and his staff from tho embassy,
halted a few .Minis up the platform.
As the prince stepped from the train,
chid in the uniform of his rank in flie
Hritish army. Mr. Marshall stopped
forward and they clasped bunds. What
ever the Vice President said did not go
beyond the oars of the prince, nor was
the prince's reply audible. Mr. Mar
shall introduced the members of the
cabinet.
The prince stepped forward with a
broad grin as he caught sight of Gen
eini Pershing's smiling face over tho
shoulders of those around him. Thev
shook luiiul- tigorousl . then the royal
isitor was introduced to General March
and the other American officers.
Itel Cross (iirls There
Arm in arm with the Vice President,
the prince walked up the platform to
halt as Viscount Grey advanced to greet
him. The Hritish were Introduced and
tho whole group of officials, American
and Ilritisli, mingling without thought
of formalities, passed on into tho big
station building where a shout of wel
come greeted the lirst sight of the boush
figure- walking with Mr. Marshall.
Passing through the President's re
ception room, still garbed in its war
time Hod Cross trappings and with a
score of Hod Cross girls in uniform
waving greetings, the prince stepped out
into the concourse where sabers of the
cavalry wore whipped to salute and Hip
band began the solemn strains of "God
Save the King."
The party halted, rigidly at atten
tion, as the air. familiar to both nations
alike, was finished, officers at salute.
Then the prince and Mr. Marshall eu
tered the Inttor's car and tho swift trip
to the Iielmnut home was begun, tho
cnvalry, in rain-sodden uniforms and
the dripping guidons, clattering ahead
in column. A ne of handclapping and
cheering followed the little procession
us it swept through the streets.
Shaltes Hands of Veterans
The first reception committee of the
day was not the imposing one headed
by the Vipp President, but a little group
of Hritish wnr veterans who gathered
in the station nt Iialtimore as the
prinre's train pusspil through.
The train reached Iialtimore promptly
at 11 o'clock and, in accordance with
the Armistice Day ceremonial observed
in Great Britain, halted for two min
utes while the prince and hiB staff stood
at attention.
On the conclusion of the brief cerp
mnny the prince appeared on the ob

had passed through every city along the
route, Including New York, without
bothering the royal guest. At .Terser
City n short stop was made to change
engines, but the prince slept.
Secretnry of Stato Lansing, with a
staff of admirals and generals, also rode
on the train with the prince. Secretary
Lansing officially welcomed the royal
visitor to Hiis country last night, when
the party stepped on American soil at

2000 inhabitants. The population gave
tho prince a rousing welcome.
As the train pulled nut of tho New

It was then that Clarke told the mag
istrate of Pender's alleged career in
France.
He said Homier enlisted here in July,
11)17. in Company C Nineteenth Kn

escaped.
Clarke said on November 12. 1018, he
was escorting two Gorman captains as
prisoners into Paris when ho recog
nized Hender. the alleged deserter, or
tljo street. Hender was attired as a
major, ho said.
An investigation disclosed. Clarke

Schoonmakor. who is director of citi
zenship In Connecticut, explained how
women have been educated there for
their new duties and privileges.
"Women," she said, "don't care a
snap for civics or laws not connected
with the vital problems of the day. Thev
are the most practical of human beings,
and their desire is to actually help. Our
courses in citizenship failed to attract
them so loug as they were merely ab
stract lessons. When we began to cou
tioct these things with current prob
lems they were eager to know more.
"From having to force our citizenship
lessons on the public we have come to
the point where we cannot furnish
enough teachers to give our courses."
Kplaln.s Duty to Home
In answer to the old argument that
woman's place is in the home, thnt
these citizenship lessons were taking
her further adrift. Mrs. Sehnotimaltor
said: "Woman's place is in the home,
Hut the home is the whole wide world.
We are losing nothing by trying to
spread the Ideals of our Individual
home nnd home cities."
Polls were open at 11:30 o'clock this
morning for the voting on officers for
Hie State League of Women Citizens.
Voters were allowed to substitute nny
nnmos they wished for officers, but tho
ticket bore the names of Mrs. John O.
Miller, of Pittsburgh, for chairman;
Mrs. Lewis L. Smith, vice chnlrninn;
Mrs. Olfford Plnehot, secretary: Miss
Martha L. Thomas, treasurer, and Mrs.
K. B. Kicrman. Mrs. It. S. Qulgley,
Miss II. H. Lyon. Mrs. .K. O. McCniiley
and Mrs. K. II. MeC'andloss ns direc
tors. Mrs, Charles H. Hrooks.snationnl
chairman of the League of Women
Voters, gave an outline of the nntlnnn!
organization, with which the Pennsjl
vania league will bo affiliated. She ex
plained it was all -partisan, rather thnn
non-partisan, as it hoped to work
through and with all parties. She spoke
of the particular need for women to
interest themselves in educational
matters.
To Tahe Uncle Sam's. Job
"Uncle Sain." she said, ''is like a
widower with, a large family. He

MEN OUT EIGHT WEEKS
Suit fori injunction, restraining the
Journeymen Tailors' Union No. oil from
acts of violence or intimidation, was
filed today by ' the Merchant Tailors'
Exchange, of Philadelphia. .
Sixty of the leading merchant tailors
of the. city joined In the suit. Tt was
filed by Charles V. Ia Costa, attorney
for the Exchange, iu Court of Com
mon Pleas No. 5.
An immediate hearing was to have
ueen held before Judge Ktnnkc, but ow
ing to some chnntres In the coinnlnlut
that were necessary the hearing was
postponed.
The merchant tailors ns-k the court to
restrain the journeymen tailors, who
have been on strike about eight weeks,
from any acts which would prevent
workmen from taking employment in
the tailor shops of the city.
"The suit is not to stop the strike,"
said Mr. Da Costa. "It Is to prevent
Intimidation nnd violence and acts that
deter tailors who want to work from
taking positions. Every important tail
oring establishment iu Philadelphia is
back of the application for an injunc
tion." The claim is made by the employing
tailors that the journeymen tailors arc
under the leadership of "oue of the
dangerous radicals in America. "

Opening- at Charleston Moor
Losos His Handbag
RECEPTION SEEMS CHILLY
Bu a Staff Correspondent
Charleston, S. C, Nov. 11. Mayor
elect MnrtrO- fie lifnotrlnne nf ihn AtlnnHl'
Deeper Waterways Association, had'l,
somewhat recovered today from his Irrl-1
tation of yesterday when he was obliged
to open the twelfth annual conventloa
without the attendance of either the
Mayor of Charleston or tho Governor of
South Carolina. These officials, who
were to welcome tho delecates to tho n
convention, did not put in nn appcarTj
mice until three speeches had been dc-
nvcreu uy visitors, consequently itcsi
dent Moore started things off just as If
the delegates had been formally wel
comed to tho city and state.
Later Mayor Hyde nnd Governor
Cooper delivered their addresses of wel
come. This incident in the opculng of the
convention aroused much comment and
even criticism among tho delegates, who
pointed to tho lack of flags and other
decorations along the street such as have
marked their reception in other cities.
President Moore explained Hint nuy
one who really understood tho blue
blooded aristocracy of the South would
understand the lack of the outward signs
of hospitality.
He referred to the Liberty Bell trip
of some years ago, when tho historic
bell wns brought to Charleston. On
that occasion, said the president, flags
were conspicuous by their absence.
Delegates wero also perturbed over'
tho difficulty iu getting their rooms,
due to a mixing up of arrangements.
In fact the first day of tho conven
tion was pcry unhappy. Mr. Moore
had some trouble about his room. Then
he lost track of his hand bag.
Just as he entered the dining room of
his hotel the lights went out, the Mayor-
elect and Mrs. Moore were ooiigea to
have their dinner served by candle light.
To one of poetic disposition this
seemed quite iu harmony with the ro
mantic traditions of ancient Charleston,
the richly beautiful town of the old
South, whose very buildings were
studies iu mellowed art.
A dance concluded the first day of tho
convention. Hie feature of which waa
the annual address of President Moore.
The president urged grenter production
ns the best weapon against unrest and
bolshevism.
Armistice Day will be celebrated by
the delegates today. The chief addresses
will be delivered by it. lioodwyu Knett,
former president of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States, and
Admiral W. S. Benson, of the United.
States navy. The proposed canal across
thn state or rvew .icrsey win De among
the projects discussed.
