Washington, April 1s - Omitted
Press)--Drys are relying on congress
to settle at one stroke the question of
who will enforce both wartime and
constitutional prohibition, f. C. Dim
widdie, head of the Anti Saloon
League of America, announced today.
Dinwiddie said his organization
early in the coming session would
urge enactment of bill to put en-
forcements OF both brands of prohibi-
tion in the hands of the commissioner
of internal revenue
The debate as to who will enforce
prohibition has been raised by the op-
position in desperation" said Din
widdie.
CAN SAVE TIME.
I'VE believe time can be saved by
combining measures for enforcement
of both wartime and constitutional
prohibition in one law modelled after
the Barkley bill, which was reported
favorably by the house judiciary com
mittee in the last congress, but failed
to pass"
The Berkley bill, which anti saloon
league officials helped frame, pro-
vides for prohibition enforcement
through both the treasury department
and department of justice, but the
principle burden is put on "a law en-
forcement commissioner"
TO CURB PROPAGANDA.
The bill defined intoxicating liquor
as that containing more than one half
of one per cent of alcohol.
Dinwiddie also declared that the

lation preventing the sale of books and
pamphlets giving recipes for intoxi-
eating liquors.

Is not illegal now, but we hope TO

United Press Staff Correspondent
Boston, April 1S-Twenty thousan nd
telephone employees of five New Eng
land states are on strike today.
The industrial and social life of five
states has been seriously disrupted;
more than 10000 telephones are out
of commission: the loss to business in
terests is daily amounting to hun
dreds of thousands of dollars and the
people are facing emergencies in
which, under normal conditions. the
telephone plays the leading part.
And, yet, despite the tremendous
lneonVenience to which the public
has been subjected, the financial
loss and the personal anxiety, there
is every indication that the public
symPsthizes with the striking teIe-
phone workers.
FOR HIGHER WAGE.
The strike is an effort on the part
of organized labor to gain higher
wages.
Governors of the five states affected
by the strike cabled President Wilson
urging actien to settle it.
City and state officials have
been, and still are, making des-
perate efforts to find some way
of bringing about a restoration of
telephone service. Leading Demo-
Gratis of New England in cable
to President Wilson charged that
the postmaster general is wreck
ing the Democratic party and de-
n1anded that he be removed and
the strike settled.
general strike of all labor in New
England is predicted if the strike is
not settled in a short time.
FEAR NATIONAL WALkOUT.
The possibilities of a nation wide
strike of telephone employees have ad-
Nanced from the stage of being con-
sdered to the point where plans for
such move are in the making. The
strikers in New England are constant
ly being assured of the support of
unions in every state.
Upon the results of this demonstra- :
tion, perhaps in event of a shorter
time than the public believes it pos
sible, the strike may spread to every
city, town and hamlet in the country.
