Many of these cars are gucucxll_y new, and many have never een entirely pald for. Were it not that many seized automobiles con tained liquor without the owner's knowledge the number confiscated, according to United States District Attorney Lindsay, would be consid- ‘r:rbgy larger. “The old revenue laws of f1; ears ago permitted any veh(clen’tg be seized containing moonshine liquor, not because it was liquor, but becaus no tax had been pald on it,” sald Dis- trict Attorney Lindsay today. This applied even when the owner of the boat, wagon or any other vehicle in which the liquor wes carried did not know that the liquor was being car- ried. Under the prohibition laws to- day, however, this ruling was changed and no hardship is inflicted upon the owner of a machine when it {s proved he is innocent of knowledge of the liquor. Many cars have been seized which contained only a pint or quart of liquor. Judge Rose has returned these to their owners, holding that only when such amount of liquor is be- ing transported that an automobile is necessary to carry it, is the ma- Secretaries Fall, Hoover and Davis to be your escorts, and to be of every assistance possible, as official hosts to such a company. “Let me remind you that toleration, fairness, the spirit of give and take, and finally a sense of the larger obli- gations to the public, are essentlal to successful conference. “And I commend to you executive sessions, and assume full responsi- bility for such a recommendation, even as I assume the safeguarding of the public interest in asking you to come together.

Friction Alresdy Seenm. There was also uneasiness on this score among operators present, but not in the meeting, & group from southern Ohio being particularly anxious. T. K. Maher, an operator of large coal properties in that dis- trict, asserted with considerable heat that “the only operator in that meag- ing who is for settlement on the interstate basis had to be gotten in with a jimmy.” His reference was to Michael Gallagher, president of the Pittsburgh Vein Operators’ Asso- clation of Ohio, and the remark- was taken as an indication that friction caused a del in selection of oper- ators’ spokesmen almost until the gathering convened.

REAR ADMIRAL TAYLOR PAID FAREWELL HONOR Acting Secretary Roosevelt Among Those at Reception to Retiring Navy Man. Rear Admiral David Watson Taylor, who retired last midnight as chief of the bureau of construction and re- pair of the Navy, was tendered a farewell reception by Acting Secre- tary Roosevelt and brother officers at gress to prohibit railway strikes and make it an unlawful conspiracy for leaders to incite men to stop work on the nation’s transportation system. B8hould a crisis develop, such a plea to Congress for added legislation would become inevitable. Tie-Up Not Feared. The President knows, of course, that the men who will strike are too few in number to tie up the country’s rail- roads, but the question is whether he can afford to let the decislons of the United States Railroad Labor Board go unheeded. If he does, the railroad executives will be likely to follow the precedent. _They, too, have tried to evade the decisions of the board, but invariably have been brought into 1ine by & show of governmet author- ity or through the medium of legal advisers wno have seen that it was un- Wise to fight the government. It is a critical moment again in the 1ife of the labor board. The episode last autumn is not comparable to the present controversy, for now a deci- sion has been rendered and the rail- way employes don’t like it and are striking rather than accept it.
