State to Aid Prosecution
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Dec. 23.?
j The State of Oklahoma will aid in the
prosecution of Mrs. Smith llam?n. Gov?
ernor J. B. A. Robertson announced
here to-day. He will instruct the At?
torney General's department to assist
in the prosecution.
The Governor said that public opin
i ion in Ardmorc may be so strongly
j prejudiced in her favor that any at
. torney appointed by the court to prose
cute her might bo unsatisfactory to the
state. James V. Mathers, county at?
torney-elect, is now attorney for Mrs.
! Smith Hamon and will be disqualified
| from taking the case, the Governor
! added.
Governor Robertson said he \<a con?
vinced "that there is a great deal of
'horseplay' in the preparations for
prosecution." He said that in his opin
' ?on the woman should be convicted of
manslaughter and serve a term in the
state penitentiary.

"It has assisted in drafting some of
the priority car service orders of the
Interstate Commerce Commission
which have relieved its members of
contractual obligations. It is ever
ready to supply voluminous informa?
tion upon the questions which are to
the interest of its membership, but
seems reluctant to supply simple and
essential information M^hich may be
used to their disadvantage. Its mem?
bership have dictated to the United
States Geological Survey as to the
form in which its basic figures should
bo compiled. It has spent in lawyers'
fees alone during the last nine months
over 5100,000.
Propaganda .Aids Gouging
"Its officers have held forth to this
committee promising assurances of re?
ductions in prices of the bituminous
coal since last July. Nevertheless,
profiteering has continued and propa?
ganda has been issued shifting respon?
sibility to others; indeed, this associ?
ation is so powerful that Its president
has been sought by tho'War Depart?
ment as a procurer of bituminous coal
at a commission of 50 cents a ton.
"During the pt-riod from July to No?
vember the War Department purchased
some 2,000,000 tons at figures as high
as $13 at the mine. The average cost
of mining this coal was probably about
$3. The average price to the War De?
partment of this coal at the mine was
about $7 per ton, so that the depart?
ment paid about $8,000,000 over the
cost of producing the coal.
"The committee is thankful at least
that it has actual and specific informa?
tion as to selling prices and as to pur?
chasers, and with this definite informa?
tion it is to be hoped that pressure
may be brought to bring prices of coal
to a ?eusonable level.
"The outstanding fact of tlie com?
mittee's investigations seems to be
that the coal interests themselves have
taken the matters in hand during the
past, season and have influenced the
issuance of priority car "service orders
and other federal action, and.that the
public has lost, while those engaged in
the coal industry have made inordinate
and extraordinary profits. Many of the
bituminous coal operator:- have set a
most unfortunate moral example to the
industry of the country during a period
in which there should have been moral
reconstruction as well as physical re?
construction."
Senator Calder set out \<i speak
chiefly on housing. He treated of this
at length along the lines of the r?*port
which the Calder committee recently
made. He emphasized the housing
shortage and the need of constructive
legislation. However, t'efore he sat
down, he was drawn into a much longer
discussion of coal than he had antici
prted and Senatorial interest in coal
plainly eclipsed that in housing.

Would Authorize Rank* to

WASHINGTON', Dec. 23.?A Federal
Reserve Board bill designed to aid in

to-day by Senator Calder, Republican,
of New York.
It would authorize mortgage loans

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 23.?Declininj
j to reopen the award of the United States
Anthracite Coal Commission, the mine
j operator? here to-day rejected the de
i mands of the hard coal mine worker!
? for additional wage increases, a mini
I mum $6 a day labor rate and the estab?
lishment of a universal eight-hour day
The operators, however, notified th?
miners' representatives that they stooc
ready to adjust any individual cases
of inequality that may be due to the
application of the commission's award
Mine workers' representatives tole
the anthracite operators that the*,
could not accept any compromise anc
stood by their original demands.
They said the entire matter would
be placed before the union's general
scale committee at a special meeting
in Hazleton next Tuesday, at which
time a "definite policy for future ac?
tion" will be outlined.
Ask 13 Per Cent Increases
The miners asked general increases
of approximately 13 per cent in addi?
tion to the 17 per cent granted them by
the commission. This, they contended,
would give them wage advances equal
to the 27 per cent recently awarded the
bituminous mine workers.
The operators, in rejecting the min?
ers' proposals, declared that the agree?
ment with the United Mine Workers,
based on the findings of the commis?
sion, was a binding contract, and its re?
pudiation would be a breach of faith
with the public, which was a party to
the submission of the award.
They held also that mediation and
collective bargaining have value only
in so far as both sides adhere to the
findings of mediators and the agree?
ments which result from such action.
"In the judgment of the operator:-,
no condition has arisen since the award
of the commission,'' added the opera?
tors' reply, "either in general wage
structure of the country or in the cost
of living, which has produced a burden
upon the anthracite workers. On the
contrary, many elates of workers in
other industries have voluntarily ac
, eppted a reduction in wages and the
cost of living has steadily declined.''
The operators conclude?! their reply
j by declaring that this is a "time for
I constructive effort on the part of em?
ployees and employers in the industry,
I a time for harmony and cooperation
j rather than of discord and of insistent
i demand for concession--."

Volstead Act Tax Held
Invalid by U. S. Judge
Grants Injunction Halting Prop?
erty Seizures to Pay Levy on
Contraband Liquor
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 23.?Oppo?
nents of the $500 tax clause of the
Volstead prohibition law won a victory
in the United States District Court
here to-day through -granting of in?
junction0 by Judge Foster restraining
Rufus W. Fontenot, Collector of In?
ternal Revenue, from attempting to
seize property to enforce payment of
taxes on liquor sold illegally.
Judge Foster not only decided that
the process of collection by districts
and' seizure of property, as resorted to
by the Revenue Department, was ille?
gal, but held that the charge which
Congress sought to impose under Sec?
tion 35 of the Volstead act "lacks everv
fundamental element of the tax."
Judge Foster's decision is opposite
to the recent ruling of Federal Judge
Hazel, of Buffalo, X. Y., who sustained
the legality of the tax imposed by the
Volstead act. The conflicting opinions
of the two courts, of equal jurisdiction,
am said to be the only rulings on the
Eubject to date.
Subject_ to instructions from Wash?
ington, District Attorney Mooney plans
to file an appeal either directly to the
United States Supreme Court, or to
the United States Circuit Court.

Governor Rebuffs
Friends of Swann
In Judgeship Fight
___________
Tammany Said To Be Behind
Move to Put Prosecutor on
General Sessions Beuch,
but Smith Delays Answer
The Tammany friends of District At?
torney Swann, who for the last twe
weeks have been trying to persuad?
Governor Smith to appoint him to th<
vacancy on the Ger.eral Sessions benct
made vacant by the death of Judge
Malone, met with a rebuff yesterda;
from Governor Smith. The Governo:
told them that he would not decide oi
Malone's successor until he returned ti
Albany on Monday.
Whether the District Attorney ha
| the real backing of Charles F. Murph;
for the vacancy is doubtful, but it wa
learned yesterday that many of ih
| Tammany district leaders are exertin
i much pressure on the Governor to ap
point Swann to the vacancy, which pay
' $l",500 a year, or 52.500 more than Mi
Swann's salary as District Attorney.
? The District Attorney told his friend
last night that the prospect of his r(
signing to be appointed to tne vacanc
was not rosy, intimating that Governo
Smith was against him.
Tammany men who are trying to pus
! Mr. Swann on to the bench, through, aj;
j pointnu'iit by Governor Smith, want A:
sistant District Attorney Alfred J. Jh
, ley for District. Attorney, so that. M
; Tally, rather than Mr. Swann. may b
?hi* Tammany candidate fur the offic
! next fall.
The Tammany men, including Murph
, are startled by the preponderating R<
publican 1921 enrollment in New Yor
County, for one thing, and they ai
! fearful that, with Swann's office on U
defensive they will not have an evt
i f.ghting chance in New York County f<
' local nominees, to say nothing of t!
handicap of Hylan and Lnright, ar
. the demoralization following the e:
? posures of the Lo<*kwood committee ar
the breakdown of the police adm-ini
tration.
The District Attorney ship, for ?jbviot
reasons, is t'-1" most important coum
' office to the Tammany orgai i; itio
land the organization would willing
sacrifice o?b"r things to avc contr
of that.
Governor Smith yesterday told tl
Swann men * number of rcasoi
he should not be asked to appoii ! M
Swann to the vacancy, but his -'.:gi?e
Lion did not satisfy the leaders wl
desire the shift to be made. Govern
Smith told ?1! hand ? thai he v ou I I n
' handle the case until i*e returned

The Governor next week will appoi

The lockout' in the men's clothing
industry in this city was extended yes
terday, when 600 custom pants makers
were deprived of their jobs by the
custom pants manufacturing contrac?
tors inspired by tha Clothing Manu?
facturers' Association, according to a
statement made publie yesterday at,
the office of the Amalgamated Cloth?
ing Workers of America. The pants
makers held a meeting at Casino Hall,
where they were addressed by A. I.
Shiplacoff, manager of the New York
joint board of the Amalgamated. They
agreed to stand by the other 60,000
clothing workers now engaged in the
conflict with th?-manufacturers.
It wtfs also announced at the office
cf the Amalgamated that the clothing
manufacturers of Boston, who recently
broke off relations with the union, had
locked out the 6,500 clothing makers
in that city, with r* declaration that
they were determined to restore the .
?..pen shop in the industry.
Sidney Hillman, president of the
Amalgamated, interpreted the move of
the pants manufactuiers here and the
?action of the Boston manufacturers as
part of a general plan to force a na
? tional lockout in the clothing industry
for the purpose of bit ?king the union.
i The Boston manufacturers have an?
nounced a cut of '/.'?Vt per cent in
wa??-es and the installation of p;eue
work wherever week work had been
ii practice before, hitherto the Bos?
ton manufacturers had simply ahro
gatol their agreement with the union.
; That involved 3,000 men.
6,500 Workers Involved
The new action involves all of the
6,500 workers in the Boston market.
?According to Mr. Hillman, the shops
?are to be kept closed and none will be
reopened except on conditions the work
; er ? will not. accept.
The New York members of the execu?
tive board of the Amalgamated held a
; meeting yesterday at which they con?
sidered the Boston situation. ?- was
; decided to treat it as part of the New
?York situation and to extend to the
; workers in Boston the same relief
which is to be given the worker- here
as soon as the $1,000,000 fund now be?
ing raised by the Amalgamated is n?*1
lected. The fund, it is expected, will
be raised by January 15.
Clashes between union pickets and
guards employed by manufacturing
clothier vened the situation in tl
city yesterday.

and Prince Street William Corso.
