CARAMEL AND PRUNE
JUICE POPULAR DRINK,

New York, Nov. 10.-Since the
prohibition law went into effect,
New York's insistent and enthusi-
astic drinkers have been consum-
ing the "non-beverage" alcohol,
which usually gets into hair tonic,
cologne and patent medicines-at
80 or 40 cents a glass, according
to Col. Daniel L. Porter. supervis-
ing internal revenue agent here.
Prune juice and caramel have

gredient, has been colored and
\ served as scotch" rye and other
favorite brands.
1t has proven satisfactory to Gus
toners who have not been let i'll
on the secret, because it has a pow

Tie "non-beverage" alcohol was
manufacture under the wartime
food control law and cost $24O a
barrel. When the saloonkeeper OBJ
tanned it, his next business opera
ton was to buy half dozen empty
barrels and dilute them. Then. with
his stock of prune juice and caramel
at hand and his bartender ready, he
served his disguised stock by the
small glass, making a profit of any,
thing from $1,000 to $4,000.
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1919-11-11

Indianapolis, Nov. 10.-After more
than 10 hours debate, executives Of
the United Mine Workers of Amer
ica had reached no agreement as to
whether they would comply with the
order of Federal Judge A. B. Ander-
son, to call off the strike of coal min
ers, and at midnight they were still
in session. Shortly before midnight
John L. Lewis, acting president of
the mine workers, left the hall for a
few minutes and remarked that it
looked like an all>ilight session.
The length of the debate indicated
that heated fight was in progress
by those opposing compliance of the
court order. However, it was the
general belief that the conservatives
would prevail in the end and obey
the courts injunction.
During the evening it was stated
by delegate that the conference of
international officials with district
presidents and members of the ex-
ecutive board and scale committee
would continue until a decision had
been reached. In this connection it
was pointed out that the miners rep
resentatives had no time to waste
in recesses, since Judge Anderson's
order provides that they shall pre-
sent to him for approval their order
calling off the strike within IL hours
after the issuance of the mandate

Unions Are Tied to
No Administration,
Gompers Declares

Washington, Nov. l0.-Adjuring
loyalty to a temporary administra-
ton which violates the principles of
democracy" Samuel Gompers,
speaking for American labor at a
dinner given for delegates to the
international federation OF trades
Unions, declared that we are tied
to no administration, but we are
free men and propose to exercise
the freedom of our judgment"
Mr.. Gompers told the representa-
tives of foreign labor that he did
not believe that a true understand
ing of the coal miners strike had
reached the president, because of his
illness.
Responding to the American la
bor leaders address, Leon Jouhaux,
leader of the French delegation to
the International labor conference,
declared "that if the workers of the
United States need the assistance
of the workers of the other coun-
tries they will get it." as, he added,
Frontiers cannot separate the in
terest of workers and private inter
ests cannot separate workers.

American Legion Favors
Deportation of Berger

Milwaukee. Nov. l0.-(Spec,al
Telegfam-The resolution COM
mittee of the American legion con-
vention tonight unanimously ap-
proved a resolution declaring that
Victor Berger. Milwaukee congress
man elect, who was denied seat
in congress today because of dis
loyalty. should be disfranchised and
deported. That it will meet with the
same approval when presented to
the CONVENTION was evident mas
much as every service man who
heard the news, was frank to ~ac-
knowledge his approval.
The developments in the conven-
ton so far clearly indicates that the
fighting men are in no mood to con-
tenance dsloyalty; they are stand
ing for 100 per cent .Americanism
on every issue and they do not hesi-
tate to condemn everything that has
taint OF anarchy in any form.
