For a local draft exemption board

a draft delinquent and slam him into
Jail is not quite regular. The right

Claims for Prohibition Are Told.

THE difference between national pro-
hibitlon in twelve months and in three
years means a waste of at least twelve
billion dollars. the loss of a couple hun
dred thousand lives, a decrease in the
coal output of IS per cent and the
waste of enough grain to feed an army
OF 100000 soldiers. The difference be-
tween national prohibition twelve
months from now and three years from
now might mean the loss of the con-
hlct between the allies and Germany.
Germany has gone so far as to pro-
hibit the use OF grains for the manu-
facture of beer. That is the greatest
single attack she could have made
against the armies of the allies Let US
make a counter attack by securing war
prohibition within ninety days and ma
tional constitutional prohibition within
twelve months

Win War First.

The first consideration of the ma
ton and all of its industries must be
to contribute the utmost toward win
ming the war and to that end business
must, when necessary, be diverted
from its established channels into new
channels he states. "Or. If absolute
ly necessary, the flow must, during
the war. be entirely stopped in order
for war needs
1T does not. however. follow there
will be less business than usual, but
rather more unusual business" Mr..
Peek states.
In reference to non-essentials he
says: IF the so-calIed 'non-essentiaf
industries are cut Off many of them
would be ruined and others perma-
nently crippled.
The industrial problem of the gov
eminent is described as: First, to
secure the necessary supplies for the
conduct of the war without too seri-
ously interfering with the production
of necessities for the public welfare,
and, second. to insure continuance of
our Industrial strength after the war"
The statement points out how the
commercial economy board OF the
Council of National Defense has I'M
dertaken to cooperate with business
men in eliminating. as the government
requirements demand, needless uses of
men. materials, equipment and capital
in all lines of commercial business. on
account of transportation conditions
the United States probably will mine
little, if any, more coal in 1918 than
in 1917. 1t is said.
War industries and railroads must
have at least 100000 tons per day more
coal than they had in 1917 or the flow
of war necessities will be dangerously
interrupted" the statement continues.
This increase must be met by curtail-
ment of the so-called non essential
production and by economy at every
furnace door, both household and in
dustrial.

Demands for 1918.

The demands for 1918 to carry out
the program for the production of
necessities for the war, in addition to
the normal business. would greatly
exceed any possible production and
distribution of fuel. so there is but one
remedy-linit the production of nom
war industries sufficiently to provide
for:
Il. War needs-direct and indirect.
80. Necessities for the public well
fare and domestic consumption.
In accomplishing the desired end it
should be our effort to divert the ener-
gies of non-war industries as far as
possible to the production of the essen
tials for war. that each industrial CEN
ter may use existing facilities. with
its labor living at home, happy and
contented.
In the readjustment process 1t is
inevitable that the normal business of
some industries must be interfered
with in order that the production of
war and public necessities be kept at
the maximum. 1t may be that some
plants. because of lack of power, short
age of labor, raw materials or trans
portation. may have to suspend entire
~. These sacrifices must be endured
in the interest Of our first object,
which is to win the war"

National Parties.
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, March 5.-The enactment
of national bone dry law within
ninety days was demanded as a war
measure a t a special convention of the
prohibition national party which met
here today to consider a merger with
the national party. new organiza-
ton of progressives. loyalist social
lists and dry" workers.
The proposal to merge and carry
out a united fight against the liquor
traffic probably will reach the con-
vention late in the day. The national
party will hold its convention here to-
morrow.
Virgil G. Hinshaw of Chicago, chair
man of the prohibition national COM
mittee, Endorsed the merger in his
opening address as the most efficient
means for achieving the aims of both
parties
The national party was organized
here last October by representatives of
the prohibitionists. progressives, loyal
socialists and single takers. The ma
tional and the prohibition parties have
a number of purposes in common,
notably national prohibition, woman
suffrage and public ownership of public
utilities.
The question of merging the prohibi-
ton party with the national was ex-
pected to be fought out on the floor OF
the prohibition convention at the ses-
sion today. At the state convention of
the party yesterday it provoked a con-
troversy which resulted in delegates to
the national convention today being
sent uninstructed on the subject.
Veterans in the prohibition ranks OPP
posed merger with any other party.
while the younger element urged
union.
