B, RK. 1, Nov. 12- Jndge Brown in the Federal District Court to-day issued a temporary in- iqnetion against Harvey A. Baker, Attorney, and George remedy ¥ , Collector of Internal Revenue, restraining them from en- _foreing the provisions of the war- _ time: Prohibition Act. The injunction was issued upon the | petition of the Narragansett Brewing Company. ThE sale of 4 per cent. beer was immediately resumed by Prariians liquor dealers. ‘The Cougt, in handing down its de- cision, said: “In view of the probability the act in question will ulti- ly be held unconstitutional Gd of the irreparable damage that would result from its imfe- diate enforcement, and as, in view of the evidence afforded by the Presidential proclamations and other circumstances its immedi- ate enforcement is not impera- tive, I am convinced that the Plaintiff's right to a preliminary injunction js clear.” , The decree will be entered to-mor- row when it will become effective. ‘The opinion is the first construction of the Yolstead (Prohibition Enforce ) Act handed down in any cout © country.

C., Nov. 12 (Copyright, 1919.)—Chances of a set- Hlement of the issues between coal cials &re more than hopeful—they are optimistic. Now that the con- troveray “Over the injunction pro- ceedings is at an end, the Govern. ment feels free to turn its whole attention to the merits of the grier Bnces and claims of each side. The | general public unfortunately may lose interest simply because the strike has been called off, but the tasks of medi- ation here are only beginning now. Yet the meeting on Friday in‘ itself esiablishes @ big precedent which goes to the heart of the difficulties between miners and operators. Heretofore, the mine owners in Illinois, Indiana, Onio and Western Pennsylvania—or what is known im coal parlance as “the central competitive fleld’—have ne- gotiated a separate agreement with their employees and all the other coal miners in other States have been re quired to accept the bettlement in the central competitive field as a basis for adjustment in their own districts, SYSTEM RESULTED INIQUITIES, This bas resulted in all sorts of iniquities, and while the miners in the central district were ready and willing that all wage scales should be settled at a national convention, at which all operators and minere were represented, the owners in the aforesaid central district felt that such an arrangement might be disad- vantageous to them. Their argu- ment was that because of inferior coal in the central district bringing a lower market price they might be discriminated against by high wages IN| MANY in a single convention, asked all parties to come here, and, while the Secretary of Labor unques- tlonably will make an effort to get the operators of the central district to abandon their old policy of nego- jtlating @ separate agreement in that istrict as a basis for other districts, no time will be lost by the concilia sticking on that point. ‘San 4.40, third; time 1.46, Fibber of men, should cease, and at which|that betokened little regard for what | sweeping search for I.
