DCNJBIS VALIDITY
OF WAR DRY LAW
1
Federal Judge Hand Ex
presses Opinion in Case
in New York.
By Ihe Associated Pre?s.
NEW YORK, November S.?"Gen
uine doubt" as to the validity of the
war-time prohibition act, already held
unconstitutional by a United States
district court in Kentucky, was ex
pressed here today by Federal Judge
L. A. Hand. The opinion was given
during the hearing of arguments on a
motion to vacate an Injunction clas
sifying the Eastern Hotel as a "pub
lic nuisance" under the Volstead law.
The question of the validity of the
law was put aside by the judge as not
coming within the scope of the hear
ing, but considerable importance was
attached to his words as he reserved
decision last week upon motions to
have war-time prohibition declared
unconstitutional. In today's c aae
Judge Hand said:
Meaning, Not Validity, Question.
"Of course, the act may be Invalid.
There is to my mind a very genuine
doubt about that.. The act may be In
valid, but we are not discussing its
valid ty. We <);s,
meaning. It seems to me quite clear
tuat us meaii.ng ,s ihai u r ,
beyond the present time, because the
President has not made any statement
that the conclusion of the war may
s on of hostilities."
Judge Hand then asked both sides
if tliey couid furnish any authorities
defining the war powers of Congress.
Assistant United States Attorney Karl
B Barnes, arguing for the government,
?aid that to his knowledge there were
no-e He riF-fr'ed 'hat such war
powers, however, arise from direct
puvvc.s Bivuii oougreso to Uc-c.are war.
War Powers of Congress.
"These powers Imply that Congress
has the right to successfully prosecute
to final determination all phases of
the war," he said.
"Suppose the war was declared over
and ended last July, but there still
exists the food crisis, labor unrest
and other situations directly growing
out of the war?wou'd not Congress
have the right to legislate for the
nation's safety any form of regula
tion tending to the public good?"
vThe end of the war does not neces
sarily mark the beginning of the
period at which the acts of Congress
again become justiciable questions"
l Mr. Barnes continued. "The acts of
Congress as a result of the war may.
i because of the war's consequences,
still be regarded as political questions!
Also, if Congress has the power to
enact certain legislation, it likewise
has the power to determine the length
of the effectiveness of it."
DECLARES D. C. UNIONS
llfflTHE STRIKERS
C. L. U". Secretary Says Organized
labor Will Contribute More Than
1100,000 to "Bread Fund."
"Organized labor of Washington
will, in my opinion, contribute a sum
->f money in excess of $100,000 in aid
f the striking steel workers, and will
'o it quickly," declared Newton A.
Tames, secretary of Central Labor
'"nion, yesterday, discussing national
'abor unrest.
"I am in an official position to say,"
continued Mr. James, "that every man
and woman making up the ninety or
more local labor unions of this city,
with a membership exceeding 100.000,
will contribute to the 'bread fund' for
?v, otrikjng steel men at least SI per
capita.
We of organized labor believe that
this big organization, which went
down to defeat in the historic strike
"T Homestead in 1892, is waging a
battle for an existence and the rights
f American citizenship guaranteed
to them by the Constitution of our
ar? ready t0 back them
in their fight with our dollars.
"Immediately following the call of
the American Federation of Labor for
moral and financial support of all or
ganized labor for the steel strikers, the
local unions began to arrange to make
their contributions. At the outset it
was thought that SI per capita would
be sufficient to relieve the pressing sit
uation. But that attitude changed to
a more liberal one, and now it seems to
be the determination of the leaders of
the local labor movement to contribute
a full day's pay for the steel strike
"bread fund.'
"Local No. 132, International Broth
erhood of Carpenters and Joiners, thla
city, with a membership of 3,000 men
working at $7 a day, has voted a
days pay, which means $21,000. The
army of machinists, members of the In
ternational Association of Machinists,
local lodge No. 174, navy yard em
ployes, approximately 4,000 men, have
indicated their purpose to vote a day's
pay."
The call of the American Federation
of Labor for moral and financial sup
port for the steel strikers directs that
all contributions be forwarded to Frank
Morrison, secretary of the organization,
who will without expense send money
to the managers of the strike. Commis
saries are being opened in the strike
district to feed the strikers and their
wives and children.

WILL EXPAND FISH INDUSTRY
Briton to Viait U. S. and Canada
Soon to Organize.
By Cable to The Star aad Chicago
Dally News. Copyright, 1919.
LONDON. November 7.?Lord Lever
hulme is going to the United State*
and Canada soon to organize the fish
ing industry in northern waters on a
scale hitherto unapproached. Al
ready he is the owner of Lewis Island,
where he is developing the fisheries
extensively. It is said that he will
open 20,000 flsh shops in Great Britain
for the sale of flsh direct to the peo
ple.
Apparently Lord Leverhulme thinks
that one way to fight the so-called
! meat combination is to produce fish
in great quantities and distribute it
at the cheapest possible price. It is
reported that part of his object Is that
superfluous middlemen shall not fat
ten upon the flsh trade.

There Is but One Super-Six?
Hudson Controls It
Without Increase of Size or Weight, 72?/0 Was Added
to Power and Countless Records Proved Its Greater
Endurance?That Is Why It Is Called the Super-Six
Don't forget this.
Endurance must always be the most im
portant automobile quality.
It is not appearance, speed, hill-climbing
or acceleration, though the Super-Six leads
in all these.
Look at the records. Hudson holds all that
are worth while. What car offers more proof ?
But speed records are not nearly as im
portant as are those which prove endurance.
Many tests are required, to be considered
final proof.
Look at these. A Hudson stock chassis
was driven 1819 miles in 24 hours. The best
previous record fell 347 miles short of that.
The greatest endurance test ever made
was that of the Hudson double transconti
nental run. The 7,000 miles was covered in
10 days and 21 hours. It was the only round
trip test ever completed and the distance
each way between San Francisco and New
York was made in less time than any other
car has ever done.
No Car Ever Offered
Such Proof
The reason these records, made years ago,
still stand unequaled is simple. The Super
Six is a patented motor developed and con
trolled by Hudson. The principle which
gives it power and endurance over others
would, if incorporated in any other six, make
it equal to Hudson in that respect.
But you must choose a Hudson to get
those qualities. There is no other way.
Hudson also leads in style. It has intro
duced models that are today standards with
all fine cars.
The new lines of body design and finish
are usually first seen in the Hudson models.
The stream line body, the beveled edge ton
neau and now the square lines that give to
Hudson such distinction and simplicity, first
appeared on the Super-Six.
Don't Forget That Hudson's
Endurance Is Exclusive
These things enhance the Hudson. But
the one important quality is that of endur
ance. Nothing else is so important.
More than 70,000 Super-Sixes are now in
use. Before the present model was offered
60,000 earlier types had shown the way to its
development. The things men had said
would make the Super-Six the best car that
is built are incorporated in this new model.
Others cannot build a car like it, for Hud
son alone controls the patents that make it
the greatest speed and endurance stock car.
Also It Is the Most
Wanted Fine Car
That is proved by its sales record as thr
largest selling fine car. It is proved by the
thousands who have waited their turn to get
delivery. The demand during the active
buying seasons has always been in excess
of supply. For some models men have been
waiting months.
You will certainly want a Hudson, if not
this year, then next. Now is not too early
to speak for it.
