The Supreme Court, without expla- nation, yester declined the peti- tion of the United Mine Workers of America for reviews of 12 cases, in which lower courts enjoined the union from carrying out certain activities among non-union miners in West Vir- ginla. This action will give full force to the injunctions granted by the Fed- eral District Court for southern West Virginia to the Red Jacket Consoli- jated, the Borderland and other mining companies. The Mine Workers sought to have the highest court pass on the validity of the injunction, vigorously pro. testing that part which they asserted would prevent them from conducting zation work among the non- union miners. The mining companies contended that the injunctions would only pre- vent the union organizers from at- tempting to persuade their mon-union employes from breaking their con- tracts and would not prohibit non- union miners from joining the union provided they gave up their present employment. The injunctions are sweeping, pro- hibiting the union from interfering by threats of violence with the non-union miners, from destroying mining prop- erty or interfering with the interstate business of the mining companies. The lower courts held that the United Mine Workers were engaged in an un- lawful conspiracy to prevent the in- terstate shipment of non-union coal. ‘REPAIRMAN’.ROBS HOMES Enters Two Frederick Houses and Steals $200 in Money and Jewels.

THE EVENING STAR., WASHINGTON, 7. C. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 18. 19°7. R The Fascinating Clerk | O e e & Joe Jimp, who worked for Hoot & Hayes, was famous for his winning ways; he was polite as he could be, his smile was marvelous to see; his patience answered every test, and he could spring the quip and jest; and customers who journeyed there, to | buy curl papers for their hair, seemed anxious that this graceful Joe should wait on them and take their dough. Joe got the notion in his dome that Wheresoever he might roam he'd carry all this trade along, in which conclusion he was wrong. So inde- pendent he became, his bosses wearied of his game, and he was fired by Hiram Hoot, and told by Reuben Hayes to scoot. He got a job with Slick & Slum, and thought old cus- tomers would come, and, warmed up by his smiles again, blow in their treasured iron men. And Slick & Slum had visions fair of crowds of buyers milling there, attracted by Joe's smiling face, his becks and bows and princely grace. But all the worth- while, moneved jays, still bought their goods of Hoot & Hayes, who'd been for long years in the town, and had acquired a high renown. Men like to deal with pleasant clerks when they are buying ducks or dirks, but first of all they want the goods when they are buying hats or hoods. If they have confidence in Hoot, if Hayes enjoys a high repute, no smil- ing clerk can lead them off to patron- ize some other toff. And so it fell upon a day Slick sald to Joseph: “Go your way; you said you'd bring us lots of trade, and we have seen your prom- ise fade.” And Slum observed, “Here is your hat; now, chase yourself! Ske- daddle! Scat!” ~ WALT MASON. (Copyright. 1927.) . HALLOWEEN FESTIVAL WILL BE HELD BY CITY Fredericksburg Chamber of Com- merce Plans Fete to Open With Children’s Carnival.

LEVINE RETURNS, SILENT ON TOUR Plans Ocean Air Mail Line. Chamberlin Absent as He Docks. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October A. Levine, the transatlanti passenger, came home ¥ terday. He announced on his 1 that he would fly the reverse journey, from Europe to America, next Summer, and that within two years he would have jn operation an ocean alr mail service carrying letters to Europe for 50_cents each. Levine was taken viathan at Quarantine on the city tug Macom, which carried the mayor’s reception committee, headed by Grover Whalen, and relatives and friends of the fiyer. Clarence Cham- berlin, Levine's pilot_on his ocean hop, was not on the Macom and no reason for his absence was given. Is Silent on Fights. Levine accorded reporters a lengthy interview on the Macom as it steamed up the bay, but friends stopped all questions dealing with arguments in which the air passenger became em- brolled during his four and a half months in Europe. “How about the fight you had with an American on the street in Paris?” was the first question of this type asked. Levine opened his mouth to answer but a friend interrupted. “There was no truth in that repor! he said. “We won't talk about that. In like manner, Levine was asked and prevented from replying to ques- tions about his differences with the French pilot he hired to fly him back to America. He did, however, talk some about the time he “stole” his own plane at Paris and flew it to Lon- don. “It was the first time I had ever been in a plane alone,” he said with a smile, “and some of the journey was very amusing.

The Macom was preceded to the Battery by two police launches, and Levine was cheered by a crowd of sev- eral hundred when ha stepped ashore. Because of the early hour, there was no parade to the city hall, Levine pro- ceeding with his wife and daughter to a hotel under police escort. The formal reception at city hall was scheduled for noon. In his interview Levine would bare- 1y sketch his plans for future air en- terprises. “T've got all kinds of plans,” he sald. “But let other people do the talking. I'll do the flying.” Among the crowd at the Battery was process server waiting to give Levine pers inia suit brought against him dent of the Columbia Aircraft ion by the Aeronautical Digest Publishing Corporation Server Brushed Aside. ‘The process server announced for all to hear that he was going to be “first to greet Levine,” but as he tried to push his way up the Macom's gang plank, he was brushed aside by police and became lost in the crowd. As Levine climbed into an automo- bile, the process server caught up and tapped him on the shoulder. Levine's attorney accepted summons in his behalf. Before he left the Macon, Levine was asked by a reporter for a Jewish paper if it was true that he had denied being a Jew in Warsaw. “Why should I do that?” Levine countered. “I was asked if I was a Jew and my reply naturally was that I am an American. I was born 37 years ago in North Adams, Mass., on St. Patrick’s day.” Although Levine was reticent about his plans after his first announce- ment, it was elicited that he planned to manufacture three types of planes, one like his transatlantic Columbia, one smaller and one much larger. The large plane, work on which it was sald was to begin at once, is planned to be a gigantic mail carrier of 90,000 pounds, propelled by seven engines. It is expected to be able to carry 10,000 sacks of mail. . The sparrow beats its wings 780 times per minute; the crow only about 120 times. Not Too Early!

PARIS SEES HOPE IN TARIFF PARLEY Optimism Expressed Over Outcome of Negotiations With U. S. De- spite Washington Report. By the Assoclated Pre PARIS, October 18.—Optimism still prevails in French official circles re- garding the outcome of the tariff nego- tiations with the United States in spite of the report from Washington that the French concessions granted American goods in the latest French note are regarded as unsatisfactory by the State Department. It was stated that the French gov- ernment was unable to accord a most- favored-nation clause to the United States even provisionally without reciprocity. France in its last note to Washington, it was learned, expressed willingness to restore the rates pre- vailing previous to the decree of Au- 0f With Corns Painless, Easy, No Iri itntmn‘ Shur-off, the marvelous new corn | remedy, will remove tough, old corns and callouses in only 3 minutes—without soaking, without walting.

The French note further asked the | United States Government to start an investigation immediately into the cost of production in France of vari- ous articles, the value of which is claimed to be largely over-estimated by the American fiscal authorities, thus forcing France to pay excessive ad valorem duty.
