REVAMPED DRY . FORCES SWING ' INTO CAMPAIGN Efforts to Obtain More Co-Operation Succeed, Says Treasury. pv United Press WASHINGTON. July 2.—Government attempts to obtain more effective co-operation in prohibition enforcement were emphasized anew today as reorganized federal dry forces swung into full stride. Progress in winning co-operation from railroads, property owners, civic agencies, public utilities, industry. hotel owners, police, and the public generally was claimed in a treasury department survey. Issuance of the publication was the treasury's final move as the Justice department assumed complete control of enforcement. The house late Tuesday passed another of the Hoover- Wickersham commission's bills, the one designed to create a unified border control force of 2,500 men to restrain the flow of liquor and other contraband. The senate judiciary committee reported out three of the commission's other bills. One provided acne-gallon limit for "petty offenders.” another authorized the waiver of jury trials in minor cases, and still another provided penalties of six months in jail, or less, for “petty offenders.” A resolution was offered in the house by Representative Celler (Dem.. N. Y.) auJhorizing an investigation of chargee by Maurice Campbell, resigned New York prohibition administrator, that Republican politicians are interfering with enforcement. The Wickershaw commission continued at work today on its survey of prohibition problems. Interested house members sought to restore a $250,000 appropriation for the commission to the second deficiency bill.

ARTICLE NINE Putting Prohibition Over WE have seen the picture of prohibition as it exists today, painted by Dr. Cherrington, publicity director of the Anti-Saloon League. He admits that the most serious disregard of law by the people exists. But the professional drys still shout in chorus that prohibition must be enforced or the republic will be destroyed. This into..rant band of professional reformers rather would see the republic fall than give up one ota of their law. yield an inch to common sense and sanity, or renounce their selfish privilege of collecting from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000 a year to spend on propaganda and politics. What other criminal laws are there on the statute books that have to be sustained by great professional propaganda organizations, spending annually millions of dollars? The laws against murder? Highway robbery? Burglary? Theft? Horsestealing? No! These laws will stand as long as c.vilization lives, because they are recognized universally as just and proper laws, for the punishment of rea crimes. Why, you ask. when the prohibition law had produced such a train of deep-seated evils, is it not repealed? How did it come that it ever was enacted? Let the recoid answer. a a a THE volume of prohibition propaganda is prodigious. The ramifications of prohibition politics, and the undertow of prohibition currents, are astounding. In addition to the Anti-Saloon League, with its board of directors of 150 members, its executive committee of nineteen, its fifty-two salaried state and territorial superintendents, and its thousands or more employes, there are thirty-one other organizations that make a profession of prohibition agitation. The more important among these are the Methodist Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals, and the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union. No organization other than the Anti-Saloon League has been forced by investigators to reveal the sources and disbursements of its revenues. These prohibition organizations constitute a maze of interlocking doctorates. Everybody has the title of doctor, whether lawyer, preacher. or plain propagandist. These titles never are omitted in professional dry literature. They may be scenery to help bring in the money. The rosters of the organization show a striking similarity of names. The leading officials of the AntiSaloon League are interlocked w’ith the Feder >1 Council of Churches, the World League Against Alcoholism, the Scientific Temperance Federation, the International Congress Against Alcoholism, National Temperance Council, the World Prohibition Federation and a score of other organizations. The interlocking directorates of big corporations are easy to unscramble as compared with the interlocking doctorates of prohibition. a a a UNTIL recently, the state and national Anti-Saloon Leagues were collecting and spending more than $2 500.000 a year. Expenditures of some of the other dry organizations are estimated at $400,000 to $500,000 a year. It is possible that the thirty-one other organizations collect and spend each year a sum approximating that of the AntiSaloon League. These organizations also have large pay rolls. If the prohibition law were repealed, or sanely amended, those now on the pay rolls would lose their jobs. They would have to go to work at something else. They rat’-'r would see the government

ruined than to give up their professional meddling. They shell the woods with their speakers. They prey upon the emotions of the people. They have a small following of fanatics. A few hundred such fanatical votes in a congressional district may be all that is needed to determine and to he’'* the balance of power. They are shrewd, keen politicians. They know' that less than 50 per cent of the people vote in primary elections and they take advantage of it. A. Wayne Wheeler explained it, about 48 per cent of the people vote in primary elections. There are often two or three candidates for nomination .in each congressional district. In close districts the party vote is rather equally divided. The Democrats may cast 24 per cent of the vote and the Republicans 25 per cent in a primary election. Spread this vote out among several candidates, and the few hundred votes of the intolerant drys will nominate. Voters have been indifferent, and have permitted this small group to control in enough instances to frighten enough members of congress to prevent a repeal or modification of the law. VERY few prohibition articles appearing in newspapers or magazines are free from the contamination of dry propaganda. Wheeler reported to the league that he had scores of articles printed in magazines, under the names of well-known citizens, and that later he put these articles in the hands of weak-kneed congressmen just in time to prevent ttiem from deserting the divine cause, and going body, boots and tjaggage over to the devilish wets.

These articles had another value in addition to strengthening the ! krees of wavering congressmen. They were sponsored by others and that enabled Wheeler to credit his own propaganda to eminent citizens. Even the public schools have been invaded. The department of education of Nebraska recently has issued a course of instructions m alcohol for use in the high schools and colieges of the state. Much of the text of this book is bodily AntiSaloon League propaganda. Nobody objects to teaching temperance in the public schools. It should be taught. But the course should be based on facts, and not on the propaganda of professional prohibition organizations. nan A FEW weeks before the close of the World war, when the Anti-Saloon League’s campaign to force the ratification of the eighteenth amendment was in full sw’ing, Wheeler stated that the league had 50,000 speakers in the field—not in the field of battle in France, but in the field of professional propaganda in the United States. Upon these veterans of intolerant reform, upon this legion of virtue by compulsion, upon all these soldiers of the propaganda, who endured the hardships of warfare 3,000 miles beyond the lines, the Anti-Saloon League has conferred its official order of merit. The Anti-Saloon League leaders know thoroughly th?t w'thout the | war and without its confusion, which they impiously characterize as divine, the thing could not have been put over at all. By trickery and deception, by appeaiing to the war passions of a distracted people, the “divine” prohibition cause moved on in victor} and glory, to plunge this nation inti the ignominy of crime and shameless corruption. fCopyright. 1930, by James A.

ONE-HOUR WORK WEEK VISIONED BY EDUCATOR Only Menace to Utopia Is Governing of Leisure, Teachers Told. Bu United Preen COLUMBUS, 0., July 2.—A onehour working week was envisioned for the future by J. E. Morgan, Washington, editor of the Journal of the National Education Association, in addressing the association’s sixty-eighth annual meeting here today. ’’Such a prospect is no fantastic dream,” Morgan said, pointing out that the present fifty-hour week formerly was 100 hours and steadily is declining. "With machines and combinations replacing men at a rapid rate, it is reasonable to assume the work week will be shortened to one hour.’ Morgan gave figures showing the average reduction ; n working hours has been one-half hour a year, and expressed the opinion the twentyhour week, or the equivalent of five four-hour days will be in vogue as early as 1960. The only menace to this impending Utopia, he said, is too much leisure, so much, in fact, he said, that unless early corrective measures are taken the race will be destroyed through dissipation and degradation. “This is a problem that will require the combined efforts of the school, home, church and community to meet,” Morgan said. ‘‘This increase in leisure, this freedom from the restraints and disciplining influences of work may mean dissipation and degradation or

CHIC FRETS ABOUT AIR GAS STATIONS Here is a picture you can see nearly any day in New York: There are bands playin and people yellin’ and down the street comes a lot of cops that don’t even stop to say ’‘hello’’ to speakeasy owners because they are leadin' a big parade. Then along comes Grover Whalen or Mayor Walker escortin’ somebody like Admiral Byrd and his gang of blubber-eaters or Kingsford-Smith and his little crowd of fog penetrators. Well. sir. the people go wild and start throwin' ticker tape. Heie it comes streamin’ out of every window and the air is simply white with it. The parade gets tangled up in ticker tape and everybody has a big time. Parades are about the only things ticker tape is good for these days, with the stock market going the way she is. Ticker tape certainly ain't any good on a ticker. A Frenchman named Captain Corte is gettin’ ready to fly across.
