CHARGE: W. c. T.U.
MISREPRE:SENT
USE or FUNDS
AUTHORIZATION Association Al
lege Fight to Prohibit To-
baccO Sale.

New York, Aug. 2.-After two
months inquiry to determine wheth-
err there was concerted campaign to
bar the use of tobacco, now that
liquor has gone by the boards, the
association Opposed to National Pro-
hibition issued a statement here to-
day charging that the Woman's
Christian Temperance union was
backing movement to have anti
nicotine laws enacted in every state
in the union.
The w. C. T. U. will celebrate
it's 50th anniversary five years hence
and the organization is hopeful of
having congress submit a constitu-
tional amendment before March 20,
1924, it's semi-centennial, forbidding
the cultivation, sale. use or export of
the weed for smoking or chewing
purposes, the statement charged.
The $1,0O0,O00 "drive" begun last
March bv the "white ribboners," it is
alleged, has for it's object the crush
ing of demon nicotine and to this end
the anti-prohibitionists say, 100000
will be expended ostensibly on "child
welfare" "health and morality" "edu-
cation and information" and other
propaganda methods by means of
the churches and public schools.
The association further charges the
w. C. T. U. with planning to finance
it's campaign against tobacco without
appealing directly for funds or nam
ing the purpose for which the money
is to be expended. In support of this
it asserts, already Sin the guise of
rublic school" recitation books which
flagrantly violate the sanctity Of
home and filial devotion, fathers
who use tobacco are portrayed as
filthy and unfit for childish caresses."
James Arthur Seavey. manager
director of the association in explain
ing the reasons for the investiga-
ton, said it was started to clear up
whether or not the same profess
SIGNAL and paid prohibitionists who
foisted the 18th amendment upon the
nation without popular vote. were
behind the tobacco crusade, despite
their eager denials."
