Tribune Reporter Describes a Tour
Of the Central City Bar Rooms
Made Yesterday Afternoon-Rep-
resentatives of the Mems Union
Were About the City Yesterday
and Told Saloon Keepers to Close
or Look Out for Trouble-Eleven
More Warrants Issued.

1t was predicted during the week
that yesterday would be a very dry
Sunday in Scranton, but it was far
from that
No man with a thirst, no matter how
robust it was, had any difficulty in
extinguishing it. At very few of the
places in the central city was the pre-
caution taken of stationing a guard at
the side door II was open to all COM
ers and the contents of the bar was
at the disposal of the caller II he had
the price.
There are three saloons in the cen
tral part of the city that are closed
tight every Sunday, and the propri
etors of these places did not depart
from their usual custom yesterday
AS result of last weeks crusade
their number was increased by one
yesterday. A prominent restaurant
Keeper had his bar closed, though he
served meals and lunches to all COM
ers. Even with meals he refused TO
serve beer or liquors.
REPORTER MAKES THE ROUNDS.
During the afternoon hours a Trib-
une reporter made the rounds of the
more prominent saloons of the central
city and found them all doing a heavy
business. In few instances beer WAS
ladled out under the name of ginger
ale and Weiss beer, but usually even
tnat slight subterfuge was not resor.cI
to by the saloon men. One of the
places visited was that of man ar
rested last week, who is now under
bail His place was thronged, and the
barkeeDers were kept on run wait
ing on the thirsty multitude.
Representatives of the Mems union
| of Green Ridge were about the city
yesterday for the purpose of ascertain q.
| ing the way in which the law was
| being observed. Some of these went
| out secretly and some openly. The lat
| ter went into all the saloons which
We're open, and told the prorlietors to
| close or look out for squalls. The re-
| quest was needed for a time by nearly
| all of the saloonkeepers, but they al
| most invariably opened again after a
| time.
Last night the representatives of the
| union prepared statement, giving the
name of each drinking place visite 1
| and the condition of affairs that they
| found there. 1t certainly goes to prove
| that the crusade has not as yet scared
the liquor dealers very badly.
