June 4 —Despite the new low for the year established by Steel common on Saturday and the appearance of general weakness In the market, the Industrial average scored a net gain for the day, due to special resistence of issues like American Can, Studebaker and California Pete.

MELLON WILL FORCE SHOWDOWN ON RUM Regulations Purposely Made Drastic to Put Issue Up to Congress—Booze Biggest Problem,

By LAWRENCE MARTIN (Copyright. 1923, by United Press.) WASHINGTON June 4.—Secretary Mellor.’a rum regulations were purposely made os drastic as possible to force a showdown with Congress with the whole question of prohibition enforcement on land and water. Mellon's regulations form the climax with a series of events that go to make rum enforcement the biggest domestic and international Issue before the American Government and people. All Rejoice About Rum Domestic politics, foreign trade, international relations all revolve now around the question of prohibition and its enforcement. Not since slavery has any issue so dominated. Politicians of both parties have abandoned all hope the issue can be avoided in 1924. New York’s repeal of the State enforcement law emphasizes the split In the Democratic party over prohibition. Mellon's regulations reveal a division in the Republican party. Mellon is a wet in bis sympathies. He feels Congress went beyond the Eighteenth Amendment when It passed the Volstead l av. He favors liberalization of the enforcement act. By making hts regulations on the Supreme Court's Interpretations of that act so drastic and rigid as to threaten serious international complications, he has forced Congress to consider whether to stand

U. S. WARNED OF OVERPOPULATION; ■bureau; sought WASHINGTON, June 4. —Congressman Martin L. Davey has made public a suggestion received from a constituent that the United States Government establish a population bureau for the purpose of advising the people whether to raise large or small families. The purpose of the bureau would be to prevent overpopulation, the constituent figuring that the United States at the same rate of Increase as has prevailed since the founding of the Government would have a population of nearly four billion at the end of the next 147 .years. "One hundred and forty-seven years ago,” the statement made public by Representative Davey said, "this Governoment was organized with 3,000,000 people and we have doubled the original number thirty-six times, which makes tho population now 108,000,000. "Now we are er. tering on another period, we will say, of 147 years, so If we double It. again thirty-six times, the population will be 3,888,000,000. “The greatest problem that ever has confronted the people of tho world Is the population. We must remember that there is no chain.'any stronger than the weakest link, and there is no government aa.y stronger than the weakest point In It, nnd our weak point Is that we have no one to, look after the population. If there is no one in Washington to look after the population, w< will send people there who will. This population bureau would publish for the information of the public the number of births and deaths in the United States. In the event the births exceeded the deaths, they would advise the people to raise small families. On the other hand, if the deaths -hould exceed the births, their advice would be that larger families be raised, for It is a poor rule that does not work both ways. "The essential and primary move would he for the Governors of the several States to submit to the Government at Washington, say semi-an-nually, a statement of the number of births and deaths In their commonwealths during that time. This statement would bo published by the Government in order fjiat these facts bo made plain to the people of the country. In this way overpopulation can be prevented, for the people will then see clearly the great need for spmil families. Tiie greatest duty of the country is not to overpopulate.” Thief Gels Cheese While James Sutton, driver for the Balfour Cheese Company, 19 S. Alabama St., was making a delivery at Tenth St. and Ashland Ave. he saw a negro steal a sixty-pound, $25 carton of cheese from the delivery truck, he told police.

on existing stringent provisions, or to modify those affecting foreign ships. Issue Intensified Governor Smith of New York intensified a domestic issue by signing the repeal of the State enforcement law. He put up to the Federal Government—which will have to put up j to Congress—the question of making prohibition effective through the Federal courts. He took the lid off the question in domestic politics. But Mellon went much farther. His regulations flew in the face of seven of the leading maritime nations whose | laws require their ships to carry liquor In rations for the crews. At another time when another branch of the Govemment is launching a campaign to capture foreign trade, Mellon strikes another blow at foreign commerce.
