With the concentration of the
law-enforcing elements OF the city
and state on the apprehension oil
bootleggers, it has been pointed
out by Omaha physicians and at
torneys, that almost no efforts
are being made by the police and
state agents against Me increas-
ing and alarming traffic in NOR
phine and cocaine.
While the police are devoting
their almost exclusive attention
to chasing liquor automobiles,
and while Gus Hyers' state force
has ignored completely the grow
ing number of sales of narcotic
drugs in Omaha and Nebraska,
leading physicians and attorneys
express extreme solicitude because
OF the threatening danger created
BY this state of affairs.
Nebraska Law More Rigid.
The Nebraska statutes relating
to the drug habit and traffic are
even more drastic than the federal
law known as the Harrison act, it
has been pointed out. They are
disregarded daily.
The state law provides, as
pointed out yesterday by an at
torney to a committee Of inquir-
ing physicians, cocaine or NOR
phine shall be administered to
drug addicts only after consulta-
ton on the case between two re-
putable and licensed physicians
and upon their decision, if it is
deemed absolutely necessary. The
law also provides that the physi-
clan administering the drugs shall
keep a record of the name and
address of the persons to whom
the drugs are given, the date ad-
ministered and form and quantity
of the narcotic given. The law
specifies also that this record
shall be kept in the county, for
period of two years, and shall be
open for inspection by the state
board of pharmacy, state, county
and city officers, county attorneys,
grand juries and all officers of
the law The law specifically
states that a copy of these records
shall be filed in the office of the
county attorney within five days
after the drug has been pro-
vided.
Severe, Penalty Provided.
Any violation of this statute is
taken as a felony and a penalty
of Imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary for not less than one year
nor more than five years, or a
fine of not less than $500 nor
more than $500. is provided. =
1t has been the practice of the
city authorities and state officials
to turn over all cases of viola
tons of the narcotic drug law to
the federal authorities, according
to those who have interested
themselves recently to investigate
the situation. The state law has
been completely ignored, it is
said.
County Attorney Shotwell de-
clared that physicians had made
no report to him since he has been
in Office. 1t is known that physi-
clans are prescribing cocaine and
morphine in great quantities to
Omaha addicts, and the statutes
are being treated as dead letters.
The physicians are making no pre-
tense of reporting such cases to
the county attorney, and officers
of the law are making no effort
to enforce the provisions of the

statutes, in spite of the fact that
any violation of the law is made
a serious felony.
Institution Disregards Law.
Particular attention has been
called to the great quantities of
dope" which has been prescribed
for the girls at the Detention
Home, which is declared to have
been done in fragrant violation of
the law. The point also was made
that the practice is being con-
tinued in the Detention Home
without regard to the provisions
of the law.
County Attorney Shotwell de-
clared he was making an in
vestigation and later would issue
statement as to what action he
would take.
In line with the agitation
against the drug habit in Omaha,
which is being conducted by ply
sicians and attorneys, DR.. Royal
S. Copeland, commissioner of
health in New York City, sounded
a warning several days ago, de
claring that prohibition would in
crease the number of drug ad-
diets, and pointed out that the
habit was not confined to the GRIM
minal classes. For this reason,
he said, the campaign would be
rendered doubly difficult.
Each 3oth Person an Addict.
"You will find them among
lawyers, judges, doctors, in fact
every layer of society" he said.
I'm the underworld of New York
you will find 10000 drug addicts,
and every crime of violence COM
mittel you may know has been
perpetrated by one of them. 1t
is safe to say that in all New York
one person in 80 is victim. Dur
ing one month one drug store sold
500 ounces of cocaine, enough to
send $500 people to hell. How
the sales are increasing is shown
by the fact that last January they
were more than in all 1918, and
in February they grew to such an
extent that the wholesalers had to
restrict the retailers in the quaint
ty that could be supplied.
And, worse than all, there are
physicians, members of my own
profession, writing FROM 100 to 200
prescriptions a day at % cents a
prescription. They should be
boiled in oil, and if there is
hell, they should go there and
slzzle for eternity"
Organize to Fight Drug.
The dope situation in Chicago
is said to have recently lowered
above the liquor question in dan
ger, and men and women. hun
dreds of them, who previously
were devoting their exclusive ef-
forts to fighting for prohibition of
Intoxicating liquors, are turning
their attention to the drug form
ing habit.
The health department of Chi
cago has completed survey of
drug stores, which shows that
during the height of the influenza
epidemic physicians made wide
spread use of medicine containing
habit forming drugs. In one
month the survey shows that 741,-
8Io prescriptions were filled in
94o drug stores. OF these 441,641
were for influenza and pneumonia,
and of the latter 10000 were
found to contain narcotics, either
opium, opium derivatives, CO.
caine or choral.

Railroad Strikes of the Past.

No attempt at national railroad
strike in the United States has ever
succeeded.
1877. involved only three roads, the
Baltimore and Ohio, the Pennsylvania
and the Erie.
in 1897 thirty thousand employees of
the Reading railroad went on strike
for an advance in wages. The men re-
NAMED out two months, during which
time the aggregate loss to them in wages
amounted to $3,600,000.
P. M. Arthur, when he ordered a
strike on the Boston & Maine road in
1877. declared that with wave of his
hand he could stop every train, but sub
segment developments showed that he
could not control even the operation OF
one road.
| In the Pittsburgh district, during the
lriots that accompanied the great rail
road strike of 1877, nearly 1000 ears
/ and moro than hundred locomotives
| were burned and the county of Allie
| ghany was held liable for damages OF
| more than $3,000000.
