floral tributes to the unknown sol-
dier, more than 1,500 wreaflfs having
bfcen placed aboard by the authorities
of nearly 100 towns through which
the train had passed on its trip from
Aqulleia, northeast of Venice, to
Rome. Delegations of former sol

Houston, Tex., Nov. 2.—The strike
of upwards of 500 trainmen ot the In-
ternational & Great Northern railway,
which has been In effect since Satur-
day, Oct. 22, virtually ended this even-
ing when Judge J. S. Hutcheson Jr.,

officials. Representatives of the strik-
ers were given until Friday to advise

be acceptable to them. A probation-
ary stipulation included In the order

parentiy met with no objection on the

Austin, Tex., Nov. 2.—Senator Jo<5
Burkett of Eastland Is here today to
attack the constitutionality of the
Dean prohibition law from a new an-
gle In submitting an appeal to the
court of criminal appeals. He an-
nounced that he would attack the.
law from a conflifcting standpoint,
holding that back in 1909 the legisla-
ture passed a law -declaring it a mis-
demeanor to "unlawfully sell intoxi-
cating liquors."
At that time, he said, local option
\va3 in effect in numbers of counties
of the state and the law was passed
primarily to make the unlawful sale
of liquor punishable, but that law
has never been repealed and the Dean
law does not carry a clause repealing
all laws In conflict with It, he point-
ed out. Thus Mr. Burkett's conclu-
sion is that there are two laws against
selling intoxicating liquors now on the
statute books of the state, one making
it a misdemeanor and the other de-
claring it a felony.
He will present his case to the court
this afternoon. He is representing cli-
ents in Eastland county.

Protest Strike
ot Coal Miners
Will Be Delayed
(Associated Press Dispatch.)
Indianapolis, Ind,, Nov. 2.—Delay
in the spread of the "protest" strike
of soft coal minors, which started
today with the walkout of 25,000
unions workers, closing more than
200 miles in Indiana, was anticipated
tonight by officials of the United
Mine Workers of America," who said
developments awaited the discontinu-
ance by operators of the union "check
off" of dues from miners' wages as
directed by a federal court injunction.
Indications were that union offi-
cials would not call out the men,
scattered throughout ^he soft coal
fields of the country, untr collection
of the "check off" was actually ceased
by the operators. Such official re-
ports of the action by operators else-
where than in Indiana reached union
headquarters here tonight, especially
in Pennsylvania. The message from
Robert Gibbons, president of the
Pittsburgh district, said the "check
off" would be stopped with the next
pay day, the date of which was not
given but which indicated a probable
delfiy in any strike order affecting
40,000 miners in that field.
Washington, Nov. 2.—A bill to le-
galize and place a 4 per cent tax on
beer and light wines to be used In
defraying the cost of a soldiers' bonus
has been drafted by Representative
Brennan, republican, Michigan, and
will be presented to congress, he an-
nounced today, as soon as the Ameri-
can Legion convention at Kansas City
has acted on the bonus question.
Declaring that for the last two years
"the revenue which rightfully should
have flowed into the coffers of Uncle
Sam has been collected by bootleggers
and rum-runners," Representative
Brennan predicted that under the re-
cent regulations permitting medical
use ot beer, "oceans" of it will be
manufactured and sold for purpose -
other than "strictly medicinal."
"Many students of the prohibition
question,'* he said, "predict that medi-
cinal beer is only a forerunner to «
return of beverage beer and light
wines. If this be so, why should not
the step be taken at once and the
enormous revenue flowing from this
source be applied to pdying the sol-
dier bonus? Estimating that from
50,000,000 to 70,000,000 barrels of
beer would be consumed annually, a
tax of $5 to. $10 a barrel would be
sufficient without including light wine
revenues, to finance an adjusted com-
pen.-iation plan."

Convention Hall, Kansas City, Mo.,
Nov. 2.—Hanford MacNider of Mason
City, Iowa, late today was elected na-
tional commander of the American
Legion when that organization
brought its third annual convention
to a close here.
The convention made MacNider's
election unanimous when all the oth-
er candidates withdrew.
The election of officers concluded
an all-day session, featured by debate
and wrangling over certain sections of
resolutions and committee reports—
especially one criticising severely the
speech delivered by George A. Harvey,
American ambassador to Great Brit-
ain, before the Pilgrims' society in
London upon his arrival In England
to assume his duties as ambassador,
and in which Mr. Harvey discussed
the reason why the United States en-
tered the war. The original resolution
was thrown out of the report on a roll
call vote and later a substitute was
adopted. The substitute was written
in less sharp terms and expressed ths
belief that the ambassador's remarks
did not represent the true feeling for
which the American Legion stands.
It directed that a copy of the resolu»
tlon be sent to President Harding.
Resolutions on Bonos.
Two resolutions bearing upon fed-
eral compensation for former soldiers
were among the mass adopted. Both
declared In favor ot Immediate com-
pensation legislation. One submitted
by the legislative committee declared
that after careful consideration of the
arguments advanced lit opposition to
the measure, Including the letter^of
the secretary of the treasury and the
address of ths president to congress,
'we still firmly believe In the Justice,
fairness and Immediate necessity of
the adjusted compensation measure."
The resolution adds that It is resolved
that the Legion "reaffirms Its stand
upon adjusted compensation" and
asked that the congress of the United!
States "pass this measure without fur»
ther equivocation or delay."
Action of Harding Flayed.
The other compensation resolution
adopted was offered by the resolu-
tions committee. It asserted that th«
American Legion reiterates Its posi-
tion In favor of the adjusted compen-
sation for discharged soldiers and de-
plores the request of President Hard-
ing to delay passage by congress of a
measure for the same and the acquies*
cence in that request."
Resolution Held Up.
Besides the section relating to Col-
onel Harvey, the only part of the res-
olutions reaprt to meet with opposi-
tion from the floor was that relating
to endorsement by the Legion of tho
proposal that the chemical Industries
In this country be developed with tho
view to making chemical warfare a
more important part of the nation's
defenses. The resolution was laid on
the table pending investigation of
charges made on the floor that finan-
cial interests were seeking to influ-
ence the Legion to endorse the pro-
posal. Later the matter broke out on
the floor again when a motion was
made to reconsider. The convention
affirmed Its previous action, which re-
ferred the resolution to the national
executive committee.
Severe Slap at Harvey.
The original resolution denouncing
Colonel Harvey asserted that his
words were "a miserable calumny,
worthy of a little mind dominated bjr
envy and jealousy and incapable ot
appreciating the higher Ideals of life,
and therefore ascribing to others tho
only motives which it Is able to un-
derstand."
The resolution would have repre-
sented to the president that Colonel
Harvey was "unfit to hold any office
whatsoever in the gift of the land1*
and asserted that "a public rebuke
and an immediate'recall would bo
punishment mild' in form compared
with the enormity- of the offense
which he has committed.'*
The motion was debated at length
before finally being tabled. The sub-
stitute was offered by Delegate Col*
of Ohio and was adopted amid cheers,
Other Resolutions*.
Besides the Harvey, compensation
and chemical warfare sections, ths re-
port of the resolutions committee con-
tained paragraphs endorsing the com-
ing conference on armament; opposed
