ints reform probably will af-
ieci tne ministries of labor and
transport, the duties of which may
be relegated to other departments
with a considerable saving in the
expense of administration. This,
however, can hardly be regarded
as a new policy, rather, it would
be carrying out the recommenda
tions of the Geddes and other
economy committee during the
coalition regime.
In general outlines, however, the
platforms of all the parties Sre
Known, .perhaps mosr striking in
this connection Is the fact that
Mr. Lloyd George, after some hesi
tation, joined his voice today with
the leaders of other parties, against.
socialism and labor.
The former premier thus placed
himself In line with Mr. Chamber,
lain and Mr. Churchtil on' this
question, though in a somewhat
leas pronounced manner. He de
clares: "Labor is against social
order and we must contest that
policy." ,! He confesses he has no
election slogan, and this Is char
acteristic of the manifesto of all
the parties with the exception of
'he labor party.

General ln his opinion of October

of the Supnme Court, who subse
quently renised to grant various
steamship lnes a stay against the
enrorcemeni of Federal Judge
Hand's derslon at New York di
misalng (her application for a per
manent Injunction restraining Fed
eral agents from applying the Vol
stead act.
Justice Brandels was understood
to have atreed with counsel for
the government and the steamship
lines that the decision to with
hold enforcement had removed any
necessity for a legal stay through
a writ of supercedea which had
been requeued by the lines and ac
quiesced in by the Department of
Justice. The decision as to en
forcement was incorporated in a
formal order issued by Secretary
Mellon to castoms officer and pro
hibition agents which was drafted
after Mr. Mellon had conferred at
length with the Attorney-Generali
' Counsel for the steamship com
panies In their petition to Justice
Brandels contended that enforce-1
ment of th Daugherty ruling
would cause Irreparable damage to
their bualness and would lead to
dlplomatio difficulties. A state
ment by the Department of Justice
emphaaiaed that the government
did not concur ln these, conten
tions, and acquiesced ln the peti
tion for a writ solely on the ground
that preparations had been com
pleted to expedite consideration of
the case by the Supreme Court.
The government will Join In this
request for advance hearing, and it
is the custom of the court to grant
such Joint petitions.
One of the elements entering In
to a decision to defer enforcement
is understood to have been a de
sire to avoid any possible inter'
national embarrassment pending
J a final interpretation. Protests
against enforcement of th law are
expected from foreign governments
and more particularly from those
whose laws require the serving of
alcoholic beverages to members of
the crews of ships flying their
flags. Should the Supreme Court
uphold the Daugherty ruling some
administration officers have said a
situation might be brought about
which would result in a request for
Congress to modify the Volstead
act.
Any international negotiations
bearing an enforcement, however,
will await receipt of formal pro
test from foreign capitals aa the
State Department has . taken the
position all along that this is a
purely domestic law and that con
sequently there is nothing, for. the
department to negotiate with the
other governments with . respect

man prominent since the start
among those under Investigation
was imminent.
Wilbur A. Mott, special prosecu
tor in charge of the case, was
quoted to .the effect that there
might be an arrest within an hour.
But tonight Mr. Mott added to his
quoted utterance a phrase which
he says he used In the first instance
"or ln two weeks."
He Intimated, although he would
not eay definitely, that no arrest
would be made until the case had
been laid before tha Hnmamet
County grand Jury and an Indict
ment or indictments returned.
He declined to say when he would
go before that body. -

thorities and he could e no need
at present for an lmm.iii.i. .nut.
He declared, however, that he was

Mr. Mott expressed akantiiam
a te Mr. Gibson's identification in

Irikb Parliament, but all the es
sentlal feature of th original pict
remain, and particularly the crea
tion of Ireland as the "Irish Free
State;" its establishment as one utt
the Dominions of the British Com
monwealth, with its own Parlia
ment and executive organization;
and with the oath of allegiance to
the King, which still preserves the
tie uniting Ireland with the rest of
the British Commonwealth.
The constitution has not yet re
ceived the final" sanction of the
British Parliament. But as the
Irish treaty, on which the con
stitution . is based, was favorably
acUed upon bv the British Parlia
ment, the ratification of the con
stitution has been looked upon as
a formality. AVIth the past week,
however, a certain element of un
certainty has entered into the sit
uation because of the fall of the
Lloyd George Government which
negotiated the treaty and the fact
that a new Parliament is to be
chosen. Leaders of the new Brit
ish Government, however, express
ed themselves as favorable to rati
fication of the constitution by the
new Parliament which is expected
to be elected and brought into ses
sion in time to pass the ratifying
act before December 6, when the
veer's time limit fixed by the
Anglo-Irish treaty for completing
the constitution under it expires.
The action of the Irish Parlia
ment Is final, so that the document
Is how effective except for the Brit
ish Parliament's reaffirming with
greater formality the favorable ac
tion already taken on the treaty.
The document grants .-political-
and religious freedom In Ireland,
and under It no law favoring any
cult may be passed. Op ion and
right of association are unhindered
and untrammeled. There are two
elective houses, and all citizens of
both sex-'S enjoy the rlg.it to vote
The initiative and referendum are
nrovided for.

ity of nations forming the British

CHICAGO, Oct. 25. The appeal
of members of the executive com
mfttee of the I. W. W, yesterday
ror ail footloose members to go to

N. . Beffel, ot iho general defense

the statement of B. A. Green, an
attorney for the I. W. W. in Port
land, that no such order had been
issued was probably due to th
fact that he did not know of the
appeal of the board, members.
"Our appeal was ' intended to
