". II. WOLFE INDORsEs
HOBBY FOR GOVERNOR

DALLAS. Teas, Naich ~ Al, n
Wolfe OF Dallas. chairman OF the
Statewide Prohibition Committee, to-
day gave out to the press Of Texas
4 statement praising Gov Hobby and
the Legislature for passing and sign
Ing laws pertaining to the whisky
question and having ended the H.
euor traffic In Texas"
Mr. Wolfe says Gov. Hobby is en-
titled to the confidence and supper
OF loyal citizens. The text OF the state
ment follows:
Gov. Hobby and the special ses-
sion OF the legislature have ended
the liquor traffic In Texas.
Five separate and distinct liquor
laws have been passed BY the legisla
,urc and signed By Governor Hobby
besides these the legislature ratified
the constitutional amendment look-
ing TO Nation vide prohibition.
First. The ten mile rome Law ere
sting dry zones around all army
camps In Texas.
1"seond. the law prohibiting the
issuance Of liquor licenses outside o.
an Incorporated town.
Third. The Bookkeeping bin pro-
vidinF severe penalties for selling
liquor without llense.
Fourth. The re-enactment OF the
Allison law and Incorporating tho
principle features Of the webb-Keu-
yon act prohibiting the transporta-
iion o, any kind Of Intoxicating H.
quors into dry territory.
Fifth. The state wide law PROFIT
biting the manufacture. sale, and
transportation OF Intoxicating H.
quors anywhere within the State Of
Texas
IAN Of these laws arc cumulative
and reinforce each other with the
distinct provision that u the couril
for any reason should declare one
section void the other sections shall
remain IN full force and effect
Some Of these laws may be at
tackled in the courts. However. Z,
seems certain tina. enough OF the
provisions Of tire different laws will
hold to effect the finish OF the H.
quor traffic IN mis- state.
1T Is the deep conviction Of many
ira, this f. the best Job OF liquor
legislation ever recorded by any
state in the Union.
This splendid achievement, for
which the prohlhltionists In Texas
have been fighting for many years,
should bring Joy and gratitude to tho
hearts Of hundreds Of thousands OF
Texas most progressive citiz"rs,

victory IL due largely to Governor

DUPONTS READY
FOR PEACE WORK

capacity In spite Of the war work, and

Of the p0vdermakers, particularly the
unskilled pOwdermakers. who were put
TO work TO meet the extra war demand,
viii have 10 go. But they knew that
when they took their jobs. Several
hundreds OF them have already gone
back home Of their own volition.
All of the extra powderwOrkers en-
ployed were carefully investigated, as
the powder works had TO be protected
against German plotters. In investigat-
ing its extra working force, the pow
der company listed them In accordance
with their former employment. Recent
~ the powder company established a
new bureau on personnel
charged with the duty Of making the
change from war TO peace conditions as
easy as possible for all concerned.
Just how soon the powder making
shuts down depends upon the govern
ment entirely, and what its policy will

for granted that the 1900 powder
makers at Cauney's Point will not be
kept employed much longer and that a
radical reduction in the working force
Will soon be necessary.
In addition to the Carney's Point
plant the dupont company also has It's
big plant at Hopewell, Va. and the
worlds greatest powder plant in Nash
VILE, Tenn, as we'll as plants in other
parts OF the country. The Hopewell
plant is owned by the powder company
and faces a shutdown like the plant at
Carney's Point and some minor plants
In New Jersey. But the Nashville plant
is government property. Il was erected
and operated for The government by the
dupont Company as a war emergency.

Altogether there are some 10000
powder makers employed in these three
big American powder plants, and the
problem facing them now is TO be fed
back 10 peace industries as speedily
as possible, and with as little loss OF
employment as possible. This is the
problem that the dupont Company ex-

can. going back TO their old jobs as
soon as possible, so that the jobs re-
malning will be reserved for those who
have no other means Of employment.
Then, at the same time. the dupont
Company will endeavor 10 speed up its
peace industries and transfer as many
Of its workers 10 these peace indus
tries as quickly as they can be fitted In.
That powder makers will still be
needed by the dupont Company is
illustrated by the fact that its COM
mercial explosives business always has
been larger than its military explo-
slves trade. Up until 1914, for instance,
all the powder sold by the dupont
Company for military purposes amount
ed TO only per cent of its total pro-
duction. The other 80 per cent Of the
dupont COmpany's explosives were sold
for commercial uses In peace times

blowing. mining. and railroad grading
Pierre 5. dupont, president OF the du-
Pont Company, on the occasion OF the
end OF the war issued a statement ex-
planning to the many thousand en-
ployes Of his corporation that II was
as ready for peace as II was for war.
In this statement President dupont
said:
"The dupont Company is glad beyond
measure Of the opportunity TO turn
from the manufacture OF munitions OF

OF peace.
"The government will decide when
and how work on war contracts shall
