dry? DAY FOR
UNITED STATES
while Situation Is Still In
Doubt Law Is Being
Generally Observed
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-The whole
nation awoke today to a realization of
prohibition. The Punishment of the
"eye-opener' at the bar long ago for
gotten in this part of the country
was all embracing. Only those who
ave been, provident enough to stock
up in advance for the long drought
or who could find solace in 2.75 per
cent. brew were able to carry out the
time-honored custom of starting the
day with a hurried morning brac-
err"
War time prohibition banished, for
the time being, all distilled liquors
and leaving in a cloud of doubt the
future Of beer, was the picture at
midnight. Exemption of beer from
the list of forbidden beverages came
as the result of an eleventh hour an
nouncement from the Department of
Justice that in present litigation to de-
termine whether a brew containing
two and three quarters per cent of
alcohol is intoxicating. No steps will
be taken toward stopping the sale of
beer containing that amount of al
cohol.
But, pending court proceedings or
action by congress defining intoxicat-
ing beverages, sale of the lighter
drink in states in which there are no
regulatory laws will be permitted
until January 16, when constitutional
prohibition becomes effective. Other
than this the only ray of comfort left
for the anti-prohibitionists is the
coming of the time when President
Wilson will declare the demobiliza-
ton of the army complete which au-
tomatically suspends operation of the
wartime acts until January 16.
The action of the Department of
Justice last night announcing there
would be no interference of ATS per
cent. beer was the reversal of the
stand taken in a statement issued
previously in the day for which there
was no explanation other than that
the department had reversed itself"
Celebration of the passing of the
saloons in cities throughout the coun-
try lasted until early today. although
actual sale OF. liquor ended at mid
night.

SHARP PRACTICE
0F:..bIC PACKERS
Chairman Federal Trade Com
mission Tells Of Chicago
Plus System in Vogue.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-Chair-
man Colver Of the federal trade COM
mission told an audience the other
day that he could. cite proof that the
packers are indeed Saving freight
and freight mileage in their grand
system Of economy Also he could
process.
Farmers around Jacksonville,
Fla" he said, "bring their hogs into
that city and sell them to Mr.. Packer
at a price which is the Chicago price
minus the cost of freight on live hogs
from Jacksonville to Chicago. They
sell bacon in Jacksonville at the. Chi
cago price plus the cost of shipping
bacon, from Chicago to Jacksonville.
But the hogs are slaughtered in Jack
sonville, and the bacon is produced
there. The big packer saves all that
freight mileage. And the farmer and
the consumer pay double mileage to
the packer for transportation that
never happened!"
His instance of saving freight was
even better. The federal court in
Chicago has just fined one of the Big
Five packers the sum of $500, which
was paid, for the miraculous atera-
tions made in freight bills in order to
show bigger damage" to fresh meat
in freight cars than the value of the
fresh meat in those cars.
This miracle of arithmetic on the
part of the packers claims office was
discovered by accident. An inspector
noticed that every time a car laden
with fresh meat, face powder, canned
beans and Esauerkraut was held up4 on
the road. a damage claim for spoiled
meat came in to the railroad admin
istration, and was duly 'appro we'd and
paid. But on most of these bills of
lading the total figures were strangely
roughened or mutilated. He looked
on the back, and saw that the carbon
copy of the original totals was less
than the total shown on the front.
Somebody had "kited" the weight of
the fresh. meat in each car, after it
had started on it's journey, so as to
make a respectable sized claim for
damages.
The case was proven on the bills of
lading. Mr.. Packer paid the fine. He
had been saving freight. sure enough.
The public had been getting off at the
usual stop.
"This thing only happened in pub
lie, in the federal COURT said Colver,
land that's why it did not get noticed
in the newspapers. You can't blame
the editors for overlooking it if there
that space in the paper that day."
