Workers in the Eugene mills. It was said, had expressed a preference for working lonser hours for five days In the week, with the privilege of a full holiday on Saturday.

Whether a worker can be as efficient with a 10-hour day as an eight-hour day was one of the points on which speakers differed, but women workers from the Portland mills declared they could not do the same amount of work in the nintn and tnth hours that they could do In the eighth. They explained that no change in hours is wanted at their place of employment: and In re ply to a question as to whether they are unionised, paid they do not need a union, as all differences are settled in conference with the management. Mr. Kav contended that his workers are as efficient in the last two hours of a 10-hour day as during other hours. There seemed no opposition to the 43 hour week, the contention of the rep- H. G.

NEW TORK, June IS. Attorneys for both the brewers and the federal gov ernment tonight asserted that they had gained a victory through an opinion handed down by the United States cir cult court or appeals modifying Judgi Mayer's preliminary injunction against Interference with or prosecution for th production and sale of beer contalnfn not more than 2.75 per cent alcoholi content. The original order restrained Richard J. MeEUlgott. acting collector of In temal revenue, from Interfering with the manufacture or sale of 2.75 per cen beer pending a legal decision as to whether it was "Intoxicating." It also forbade United States Attorney Franc! G. Caffey from prosecuting the brewers and retailers of such beer. The ap pellate court decision strikes out th Injunction "pendente lite" against the federal prosecutor, making it possibl for him to proceed as he sees fit, but continues i in force the Injunction against McElIigott, regarding whom th court makes this observation: Brewers Assert Victory, "The injunction against the acting collector of internal revenue can do no harm." Emery R. Buckner, of- counsel for the brewing interests, declared the ap pellate court decision was a clear vie tory for his clients and that the right to manufacture and sell 2.75 per cent beer after July 1 was assured. The brewers were ready to prove, he said, that beer of that potency was "npn Intoxicating," and that it was now up to the courts to decide whether war time prohibition forbade the sale of all beer or merely Intoxicating beer. Prosecution Liability Cited. Cornelius J. Smyth, assistant United States district attorney, one of the drafters of the government's briefs the pending litigation, maintained the appellate court decision gave the brew ers less of an advantage than they possessed under the original injunc tion. He characterized as "optimistic' the statements by counsel for the brewers that the latter could continue manufacturing 2.75 beer. The decision, ho pointed out, would not exempt the brewers or retailers from prosecution under the federal war-time prohibition act, which provides a year's Imprison ment, or $1000 fine, or both. In event of conviction. Severe Penalties Blocked. Judge Hough, one of the appellate Judges, in a partly dissenting opinion, sai'l: "The wrong here complained of was and is that of the internal revenue de rrartment of the treasury. Under laws in force long before 1918. every brewer, individually, brewed on sufferance of the commissioner. As July 1, 1919, ap- nroached. that official threatened to refuse the licenses and stamps without which brewing Is absolutely illicit and subjects the brewer to confiscatory proceedings and penalties of extreme severity. The plain Intent was to en force a strained construction of the act of November 21, 1918, by preventing brewers from complying with pre-ex isting and unrepealed laws. Collector's Plan Halted. So far as I can now see. the injunc tlon against the acting collector stops that plan and I regard tne, relief od- tained below against the United States attorney as In effect preventing that official from asking at tne Hands ot grand Jury indictments for offenses created only by the act of November 21 Itself. Such possible Indictments would not Involve preliminary seizure of plant and tools and they should be left to their course at common law ex cept under circumstances of extreme necessity not here shown. This dissent then. Is limited to the reason assigned for a result, to which I agree." Intoxlratloa to Be Defined. Judge Rogers, who Joined with Judge Hough In a partial dissent, discussed the question of "non-Intoxicating" beer. He said that lor more man zu years the department of internal revenue had treated beer containing of 1 per cent or more of alcohol as a malt liauor and tnat during tnat time tne brewers of the country had acquiesced in that definition. Congress has not yet defined what percentage of alcohol made beer "Intoxicating," he said, but it was reasonable to expect it would do so. But in the absence of some definite legislation." said Judge Rogers, "the meaning of the term Intoxicating liquors' must be a question of fact and not of law. The court cannot under take to say, as a matter of law, that liquor which contalna 2.7S per cent of alcohol by weight is not intoxicating." The appellate court In announcing its decision said: "We are sure that the United States attorney will co-operate with the com plainants to have the question in volved determined speedily and in the meantime with as little interference with their business as possible." SPOKANE EXPECTS STRIKE Packing Honse Employes Seek Wage Rise; Meat Cutters to Co-operate. SPOKANE. Wash., June 26. (Spe cial.) A strike of 200 packing-house employes at the Armour and Carstens plants Is expected by union members to occur Monday morning.
