In view of the fact that 45 of the 48 states have already ratified the liquor amendment, attorneys in recently ar- guing those cases before the supreme court conceded that even if the court held that the prohibition amendment | could be submitted to the voters, enough states without referendum provisions in their constitutions would remain to pro- vide the required three-fourths. The court’s opinion, however, puts an end to any controversy as to whether Ohio has ratified both amendments and puts Ohio definitely in the list of states approving each of the amendments. Power to ratify a federal amendment, according to the court’s opinion which was rendered by Associate Justice Day, is derived from the federal constitution and a state has no authority to desig- pate the means of ratification. The lan- guage of the constitution, the opinion said, is plain relative to ratification and admits of no doubt in its interpreta- tion.” Justice Day sald that by requiring ratification to be by the “legislatures,” the framers of the constitution meant the recognized legislative body in each state and characterized as “fallacious” argu- ments that it was the intent that ratifi- cation should be by the “legislative ac- tion o fthe states through the medium provided at the time of the proposed approval of an amendment. Ratification of an amendment, the court held, is not ative act and any other construction might result endless confusion. in CONTESTS BEST EVER STAGED ATE MEET IN INTERCOLLEG \adelphia.

P.) Checks aggregating $40,000, sent into Misscuri by the managers ot Govarner Lowden's campaign, were presented {o- day to the senate committee investigat- ing the pre-convention expendi. presidential candidates. The checks were la)a before the committee by Ar har Da- vis, of Harrisburg, Illinois, at the dirce- ton of L. L. Emmerson, national mau- ager of Governor Lowden's cam.piisa. While most of the day was devoted by the committee to questioning Witness- es as to the expenditures of sums cov- ered by the checks, primary cont other states were touched upon committee sought further info- the campaign of Major Gen-ral Leonard Wood in Michigan and Indiaza and (e contest between General Wool and Sen- ator Harding in Ohio. In its inquiry into the L-wden cam- paign in Missouri, the commigw qu tioned Nat Goldstein, clerk of tne Sighih judicial district of St. Louis, and hs deputy, Robert E. Moore, delegates io the republican national convention from Missouri, who testified that they each had received a check for $2,500 from the Lowden campaign fund. Both said the money still was held to their ac- count in banks and would be returned unless Governor Lowden were nominat- in which event it would be used in the campiign. J. L. Babler, republican national com- mitteeman from Missouri, whom Gold- stein and Moore designated as the one Who transmitted the checks to them from Mr. Emmerson also was questioned by the committee, 1. Morse, head of the Lowden camp Louis, another Missourian examined by the committee, testified that he had received by check from Mr. Kmmerson approxi- mately §32,000 and expended it in “get- ting out the workers” Babler got $17,- 000 of these funds, he said, to reimburse him for similar expenditures. Toth Moore and Goldstein testified to having . received the checks from Rab- ler in the latter's office with no specific instructions \1s to how the money should be used. Both said they had declared no money was necessary in their con- gressional listricts and that none was spent to get out Lowden sentiment in the ward meetings and district conven- tions. Moore said Babler had told him “Aw, go ahead and take it,” when he had hesitated ahout accepting the check from Emmerson. Babler was pressed on this point by airman Kenyon when he appeared la- E. aign outside of St. “Was it a pretty hard job to get Moore and Goldstein to take this mon- 2" the senator asked. “Well, 1 was very anxious about the Bt. Louis situation,” Babler replied. wanted to tie them up and urged Em- in any way necessary r active, support.” Morse and Babler gave from memory lists of state” "Workers” o whom they had distributed the money received fro- Emmerson. The amounts ranged as a rule from $100 to $300 but in some ins stances went over $1,000. Babler, in 2x- plaining larger items, said they went to men who had “hard fights” ahead of them in their districts. No accountin of expenditures was asked by either Morse or Babler, they testified. “Boiling all this down,” Senator Reed, democrat, of Missouri, said to Babl. “doesn’t it come to this: that the method of campaign you adopted was to get in touch with active workers, give thea some money and tell them to get busy? Babler agreed. As to an accounting for expenditures made, he said: “They were all men I had known a good while. I did not think they would retain any of it for themselves, 1 think many of them spent more than I gave them.’ The witnesses were questioned par- ticularly as to whether any of the men, other than Goldstein and Moore, who re- ceived money were- delegates to the na- tional convention. Morse said three men on. his list were, including William L. Cole, republican state chairman, who a delegate-at-large. had given Cole §500 purposes.” Senator - Kenyon promptly called at- tention to the fact that previous testi- mony before the committee showed Cole had received $1,250 to “sound out” sen- timent. for Harding. Morse and Babler i The Witness said he for “headquarters said they had understood Cole was for Lowden, with Senator Harding ‘“per- haps as a second’ choice.” “Here is a delegate-at-large with §1,- 250 Harding money and $500 Lowden money,” said Senator Kenyon. ‘“Who is third choice 7 Senator Spencer, republican, Missouri, said Cole had received the Harding money to sound sentiment for Harding as second choice. After a brief wrangle between Senators Reed and Spencer over injection of explanation by any other than the man involved in statements made by witnesses, the committee order- ed Cole sumpoenaed. e Additional information as to the Wood campaign in Michigan was presented by Fred M. Alger of Detroit, who said he had personally contributed $50,000 of the $54000 Wood fund raised and ex- pended in the state and already in the committee’s records. He had also ex- pended personally, he added, $22,000 or $23,000 for Wood in the state primary election and of his total expenditures of more than $70,000, he said: was proud to do it. I would do it agai Alger said he had first intended to seel subscriptions but when the first ‘“unjust” talk of a “supposititious” fi- nancial ring behind Wood's candidacs came up, had decided to put the money up himself. He said he expected no re- turn from his expenditures which were for “public service.” Frederick A. Joss, of Indianapolis, said he had been “personally” asked by General Wood to handle the Wood ca: paign in Indiana. He told of the way in which approximately $58,000 had been spent, fifty per cent. for advertising in the state in Wood's interest, his figures checking With those already before the committee.” Robert F. Wolfe, a Columbus, Ohio, published; told of his fight against “cer- tain elements” in the republican politi- cal ranks of the state which had led him to oppose the Harding candidacy. He said he had told Senator Harding he would mot support him if the campaign was turned over to this “inside coterie” and finally named Harry M. Daugherty, Senator Harding’s manager, as the man against whom his attack was directed. Wolfe said the “reflex” of his opposition had favored the Wood campaign in Ohio,” although he had not openly sup- ported the general. He estimated that the Wood and Harding forces had,each expended $100 000 in the state but said he had no positive information on the amounts. One feature of the Missour! sitmation which drew the attention of committee members particularly was the statements of Morse and Babler that when the Low- to Pass Suffrage Resolution to That Effect Un- animously Passed by the Re- publican National Commit- tee—Hearing on Contests.

COMMITTEE HEARING CLAIMS OF CONTESTING DELEGATIONS Chicago, June 1—Another slow-going session, with little progress in actual re- sults, marked the work of the republican national committee today in its course of deaiding the claims of contesting dele- gations. - The seating of two regularly reported delegates from the District of Columbia, said to be favorable to Major General Leonard Wood, and an extended hearing of the Georgia contest involving delegates pledged to Wood and amother group counted as faverable to Lowden, was the than several days previous to his arrest.

COLLECTIVE BARGAINING IN SHAMROCK IV MADE TWENTY THE CLOTHING INDUSTRY | MILE SPIN IN LONG ISLAND SOUND Rochester, N. Y., June 1.—Coliective City Island, N. Y., June 1. — Sir bargaining iS the method adopted by the | Thomas Lipton's yacht, Shamrock IV, clothing industry in Rochester to solve | challenger for the America's cup. was its labor priblems. Manufacturers de-|tried under her own sail today for ghe clare that it has been so successful here that the National Industrial Federation of Clothing Manufacturers has been form- ed to deal with a natipnal organization of the workers. In a time when strikes have been frequent in other industries there has been peace in this industry here, except in one plant which is mot a party to the agreement between the employers and workers. Shoe manufacturers of Rochester have adopted the plan and ended a strike by an agreement similar to that in the clothing trade. Under these agreements, the strike and lockout are believed to have been elim- inated and the open shop prevails. The union relinquishes its claim for a closed shop. One of the labor managers, rep- resenting the employers, says that the union suffered-no loss by doing so but that on the contrary the number of clothing workers organized has increased from 50 percent of the total employed to 90 or 95 percent. As the collective bargain plan oper- ates here, the more general agreements between the workers and employers are | 5D made by a Local Joint Board, composed ;52 of representatives of the clothing manu- facturers and the workers. Working conditions are formulated by a Labor Adjustment Board composed of represen- tatives of both sides, Its decisions be- come the laws of the industry. Appeals can be taken to 2 court presided over by an impartial judge whose decisions are accepted by both sides as final. In the shops labor managers represent the employer and shop chairman the un- ions. The manufacturers have their price commodities and' time-study men and the unions retain their local business agents. The plan had its conception as the re- sult of a threat of the workers to go on strike. 1In its adoption the manu- Meyer . Jacobstein, of the University of facturers obtained the advice of Dr. Rochester, who has been teaching meth- ods of serviee management. <ot thi In at M pes sa saj af! of it to wil thi cor a tor on the at 08 REWARD FOR MISSING MILLIONAIRE THEATRE OWNER be .—The reward of $15.- 000 offered for information of Ambrose Small, millionaire theatre owner, who disappeared mysteriously on December 2, 1919, has been increased by his wife to $50.000, it was announced today.
