INTERNATIONAL PRINTERS HEADS
 TOTAKE CHARGE: [:

New York, Nov. 21-Bert Brady, local organizer of the International Typogra phica1 Union, announced last night that representatives of the eX- ecutive committee of the Interna-
 tional will arrive in New York to- night to take charge of the general situation in the printing trades, which
 have been badly crippled as a result
 of the lockout of some 5000 press men, feeders and apaper handlers and vacation strike of 5000 com
 positors, members of Typographical
 Union No. 6.
 The representatives of the Inter
 national will make their headquarters
 at the Hotel Imperial. 3lst Street and
 Broadway. They come here at the
 solicitation of the Printers League,
 the organization of employing print ; CTS, who contend that the members of Big Six,', by persisting in their refusal to return to work, are en- gagged in an illegal strike. The off1- cials of the Printers League insist now that the International take drastic action in bringing about a 1 settlement with Big Six"

It was stipulated that he was not to have a lien on them for this service, and that if any dispute arose as to the amount due. Reginald c. Wander bilt was to act as arbitrator. Gemme1 said he tried in vain to collect the $940, and repeated demands for the money were ignored by the horse woman. He then brought the suit and obtained the attachment because Miss Sears is a resident of Beverly Farms, Mass, and he wanted some security in case he obtained a judg- ment.
 Accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Curtin, MT. Trepp last evening went to Madison Square Garden with the attachment signed by Justice Schmuck. Miss Sears had not yet ar- rived. but Radiant was there in his stall. He was duly and formally at
 tached. Miss Sears appeared soon afterward. In a few minutes she was due in the ring astride her horse. She sought out the management of the Horse Show Association and crisply told them her story. They in turn appealed to Deputy Curtin and MT
 Tepp to permit Miss Sears to show
 Radiant to the railbirds. This re- | quest was granted by Curtin and TepE who also entered the arena and kept their eyes on just one horse, whose i attachment might mean S940 to MT Gemmel.
 i The horse show management ar ranged later to provide bond ano 1 the attachment was lifted.

Washington, Noov. 21 - President Wilson will make no move to rescind the wartime prohibition act until peace has been declared formally, it was stated officially yesterday at the White House.
 This was expected to set at rest the recurring rumors that the "dry'' ban would bel ifted by the President ir- respective of ratification of the treaty of Versailles The only possibility of a 'wet" Christmas would be for the Supreme Court to declare the war time act unconstitutional.

CAPT. CHUTE WILL
 ADDRESS FORUM


 Rarely in these modern times do we find a war hero. a literary genius, and an exceptionally fine orator combined in one person. Yet, the war has brought to light such a personality in the character of Captain Arthur Hunt Chute.
 No one but an actual witness at the front and a person capable of reading the hearts of his fellow men could write and speak as this cap- tain of the Canadian army. His Is the great gift of interpreting the souls of men, and discovering the unseen spiritual forces.
 The officers of the Community For um are indeed fortunate to have Captain Chute here on Sunday even- ing, Nov. 23, and his talk on Brain vs Braun" is sure to draw a large audience.

umes for his views.
Lord D'Abernon was first of all inter-
ested to know the absolute --latest" from
America concerning the battle over prohibit
ton. Naturally he did not care to express
an opinion as to what America should or
should not do. but he is following mnutely
every move in the controversy. Anyway,
Lord D'Abernon has some opinions con-
cerning the pros and CONS Of prohibition in
his own country which are strong enough
and logical enough to serve almost as an
opinion on the American situation.
what actually are the chances of pro-
hibition in England?" l asked.
Complete prohibition does not appear to
have much chance in England now," be re-
Piled Public opinion is in a condition of
reaction, which is quite natural after the
war. The public of England has behaved

out the war. They now think that with

be enjoyed l do not think any sensible
persons quarrel with the peoples attitude.
providing the liquor business does not re-
lapse into the atrocious conditions existing
before 1914.
These figures which 1 will give you
show an enormous decrease not only in
drunkenness but in disease connected with
alcohol which has been apparent here since
regulation of the liquor traffic was taken
scientifically and seriously in hand.
"No such progress has been achieved in
any part Of the world in any like period. So
far as figures are available, this improve
ment is better than the results obtained in
any similar area under prohibition.
"Of course, extreme reformers will say
these results were only possible in war
time They say that long as you leave
the liquor trade In being It will oyerwhelm
you directly war pressure Is relaxed. They
contend you have to get rid Of the trade
either by purchaser or by prohibition before
there can be any safety.
''The future, of course, will show whether
this set Of theories is really correct. But,
personally, believe the only right and prac-
teal solution in England is moderate and
reasonable control. The temperance party
has got to be temperate If it desires to
achieve big results and maintain the level
already achieved"

drinking public means concentration OF
the liquor trades efforts. This concentra-
tion enables them to mike greater pro-
portionate profit due to the tightening of
expenses They much prefer the six or
seven hour day-it was six hours during
the war and only recently has increased to
seven--to the seventeen hour day. Also
they have much less trouble with drunken
ness among their customers.
They possibly dlssemble their love for
the Central Control Board. but 1t hardly
can be doubted that love must be ut the
bottom of their hearts for conditions which
give them an easier life and a better
profit. or course, the organization of the
trade is still imperfect and could be I'M
proved further"
what" asked, "are the central and
guiding principles Of the restrictions?"
They are largely physiological and
scientific" he replied. and then para
phrased the findings of science in the plain
language of the street. LESS liquor means
less drunkenness and disease Lessening
the number Of hours one may drink lessons
drinking. Breaking the hours or as we
say, broken hours means less likelihood
of one becoming intoxicated. because the
saloon Is closed and the drinker Is In the
street or back at his work or on his way
home, as nothing can be obtained after
three o'clock in the afternoon or ten o'clock
at night"
Lord D'Abernon's position on drinking
with meals is this:-Drinking spirits Is
never good for one. but 1t does less harm IL
taken with food. He does not quarrel with
those who prefer beer and light wines. par
ticularly II they partake only with meals
He does not uphold the so-caled '.strong
drink" which rages or demon rum" He
is trying to educate the people of England
to forego the heavy and more harmful
drinks for the lighter and less alcoholic,
convinced by science aud physiology that
the milder beverages are near akin to food.
Drinking at meal time is much the bet
ter way" he said. Take the cocktail. IL
seems to me that the cocktail is the most
Injurious alcoholic drink one can take, for
two reasons. First. II is too strong Then,
1t strikes for the stomach and nervous sys-
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1919-09-10

tcm at the worst possible moment, before
one has taken food. But If people iusist
upon their cocktail then by all means why
not take 1t after or even during the meal?
1t would be much less harmful than before,
and on an empty stomach"
think Lord D'Abernon's views on the
cocktail epitomze in a way his views on
the stronger drinks He Is going at this re-
form business In practical way, and
way more likely to succeed without antago-
nizing people by drastic prohibition He
believes education and systematic warning
will lessen the evils of drink whereas sud
den and complete prohibition would make
countless enemies of those who, though not
caring particularly for liquor. object to the
principle of coercion.
Then he explained that the necessary
time every one requires for eating cuts
down just that much the time left for drink
ing. SO that II one eats normal meal and
drinks'a little with 1t there remains neither
much Of a desire nor much of an opportu-
nifty to indulge in only liquor.
lis there any considerable PRESSURE" I
asked. Ito return to the pre- war arrange
ment of longer hours and unrestricted
drinklng?'
There is none whatever" he emphati-
cally replied. ''Those who enjoy drinking
alcoholic beverages In moderation and
those who take such drinks as part of
their food realize that restricting the sale
and purchase of liquor to meal time enables
the vast majority of people to obtain all
they need and yet prevents those who
should not have 1t at all times getting it.
They have absolutely no fault to find.
Those who sell liquor In the restricted
hours, as ] have said, make better money
for their effort, so they have no objec-
tion."
Thus Il would appear that the English
method, while scrupulously trying to keen
liquor from those who should not have it,
and apparently succeeding in that purpose,
takes into account with commendable far
sightedness and fairness the personal liber.
ties aud likes Of the overwhelmingly great
majority of people upon whom such drastic
remedial measures as prohibition would con-
stitute grave injustice.
