All the anthracite and bituminous workers In this country and Canada will be represented. Increased wages will be demanded on the ground that miners are the lowest paid workers In America.

This is shown by reports reaching the office of G. J. Simons, group chief of federal agents for Northern Indiana. Outstanding in the work are the cities of East Chicago, South Bend and Michigan City. Changes of administrations in these places have brought reformations in the police departments. At South Bend Agent Harry Mathers has three policjeanen assigned to work with him on liquor investigations. He also has the ready support of the sheriff' office. But most important is the smashing work of the Superior court whero the prosecutor is gertting prompt action. The practice of closing saloons by injunction has been invoked and last week some twenty places closed their doors by court order. Yesterdny John Mandich, an offender, was given sixty days in Jail and a fine of $100 and costs. The Jail sentence was not suspended. At Michigan City the new police department ha been gKrng a good account of itsolf.

"You cant even hear of a still thorio any more," said Agent Eddie Berws-nger, this morning on returning from the city where he has bem assisting in cle-an-up work yesterday. Since Chief Christ Struss of East Chicago started his drive under the direction of Mayor Frank Csiiinhan, the public knows what results have been attained there. Raids are daily occurrences am-d boot-leggers and moonshiners are on the run. The prohibition forces aTe taking an active part in the work and ke-ping an accurate check on results. So far theire has been no indication that the city administrations are doinsr it merely for political -effect and if grounds for suspicion develop the federal agents are ready to throw their full weight toward keeping up the work which the local authorities have started. RESIGNATION NOT RECEIVED E. P. Berwansrer, who sent his resignation as federal prohibition enforcement agent to Director Bert Morgan at Ine'lamapo'ls Wednesday, has received no word from he-'j.rij-jarters. The resignation is to be effective Feb. 1. Y&stcrdav Mr. Morgan in a.n interview with Indianapolis newspapermen. aid that Berwanpers resip-rtation had rot reached his office then. He spoke highly of Mr. Berwar.srer's work saying that he ha been diligent and conscientious in all his duties. "It i-s true that Mr. Berwanger has !o.t money," Mr. Morgan said. "That is -due to the fact that the prohibition department will allow expenses only for certain items. Mr. B?rwanger owns a high-priced automobile, which he has used in his work as a prohibition agent. Even though by use of the car he saves expense for the government, yet expense items for oil and such things will not be allowe."
