US. WILL R|G|D[Y
ENFORCE DRY LAW
Prohibition Commissioner John
F. Kramer Outlines Policies to
Methodist Conference.

Constitutional prohibition will be
enforced to the limit Of the law, John
F. Kramer, new prohibition commits
sioner, said today at a meeting of
the Methodist Board of Temperance,
Prohibition. and Public Morals.
The army of prohibition agents will
be completely organized for effective
enforcement Of the constitutional
amendment by the time 1t become ef-
fective. he said. Enforcement Of war
time prohibition IL likely to reveal
some wet spots" Kramer admitted,
because of an insufficient force of
Federal agents.
People VIII Back II.
The prohibition commissioner pre-
dicted that since prohibition is law,
the American people will demand its
strict enforcement.
Explaining how prohibition will be
enforced. Kramer said:
Responsible for the enforcement
of the law il the prohibition COM
missioner. who. Of course. is respon-
sible to the Commissioner Of Internal
Revenue. The country is divided
into ten districts, in each one Of
which there will be Federal agent.
Under each agent will be q force Of
men, depending upon the nature Of
the district.
Then in each State there will be
a Federal director, and under him
several inspectors.
The very first steps will be with
the inspectors Of the various States.
They will keep themselves informed
as to conditions In the State-wheth-
er manufacturers are obeying the
law; whether druggists and physi-
clans are doing nothing iuegal, and
whether any Illicit manufacture Is
going on. Any violations will be re-
ported to the Federal agent. who
will use his force Of agents to in
vestigate and arrest IL evidence IL at
hand to warrant the same.
People Law Abiding.
One of the duties OF the State Fed
eral director will be to enlist the
services Of State officials, and all civic,
moral, and religious bodies 70 assist
in enforcing the law.
The highest success will be at
tained only IL the great mase Gf law
sbiding citizens make their Influence
| felt. They should stand solidiy back
CT those officials who do their duty
under the law"
The line OF demarcation is no longer
between those who favor prohibition
and those who DO not, Kramer said
but from now on 1t is between those
who are In favor OF obeying the
law" and those "who will oe ready
eno anxious to violate the law"
"The great mass of American citi
zens are law abiding continued the
| commissioner. "They may not at ali
times believe in a certain law tut no
long as the law is upon the statute
books they feel il should be obeyed.

clared IL the Cabinet failed to act
they would withdraw from the con-
ference and return to their homes and
would post notices Offering their
increases OF 15 cents q ton on mined
coal and 81 day for day laborers.
They declared they would refuse to
treat further with officials of the
miners unions until the men return
to work.
The operators also indicated that II
they withdrew they will issue state
nent to the public declaring their
willingness to arbitrate the wage
controversy and denying any blame
for failure OF the present negotia-
tions.
To Call Convention.
As soon as the leaders of the United
Mine Workers and the operators reach
a tentative agreement, q convention
of the scale committee and the dis
trict and local leaders of the former
organization will be called for the
purpose of ratifying the compact.
"The rank and fle of the miners
will accept q 81 per cent increase,
said one of their spokesmen today.
Il have no apprehension on that
score. They will not accept anything
less, however, and we are confident
that the statistical tabulations now
being made by the Fuel Administra-
tion and the Department of Labor
will grant this to them.
I'VE accept this method of fixing
the wage to which we are entitled
under protest. however. why should
1t be assumed as automatic that the
miner is entitled to a bare subsistence
wage and nothing more? The miners
are not likely 10 forget this attitude
nthe part of the Government, or to
forget that few voices have been
raised against the profiteering in
which the operators have been en-
gagged.
It is taken for granted now by
certain of the mine leaders that the
Cabinet will accept Secretary of
Labor Wilson's proposal Of 81 per
cent increase.
Statistics show ProAts.
Statistics made public by the Fed
eral Trade Commission show the ma
ture and the extent Of the profits
made by the bituminous operators of
Pennsylvania in the past three years.
In 1916 their margin OF profit per
ton fell as low as 8 cents: from Janu-
ary to March, 1917, it rose to "a cents,
and from April to August, 1917, to
Sl.10. For the next two months of
the same year IL showed q slight de-
crease. going down to 9s cents; from
November, 1917, to March, 1918, the
per ton profit averaged % cents. and
from April to DecembeS. 1918, the av-
erase was 70 cents. Further aver
ages compiled from the fields of
southwestern and central Pennsyl-
vania show that the margin of profit
for the entire year was "a cents per
ton, or more than ten times as much
as IL was in 1915.
The Federal Trade Commission fig-
ures are now before the Fuel Admin
istration. The statistics for any por-
tion of the present year are not yet

MISS WOOD WINS
FIGHT IN COURTS
Teacher Suspended for Discuss
ing BoIshevism Will Get Back
Her Weeks Salary.

The right of school teachers to have
a hearing before the Board OF Ed
ucation prior to dismissal or suspen-
sion from the service is recognized
by the District Supreme Court as In
dicated by the decision yesterday OF
Justice Hitz In the case OF MISS Alice
Wood. teacher OF Western High
school. suspended last March for one
week.
The iustice issued a writ OF man
aamus ordering the board to rescind
IT'S action suspending Miss Wood be-
.su.a she discussed Bolshevism In her
class room.
Through the action of the court ths
board will be forced to return to Miss
Wood a weeks pay lost through her
suspension. 1t is possible, however,
the board may carry the controSersy
TO the Court of Appeals. There was
no indication today any further action
in the matter would be taken oS
school officials.
Taken To Supreme Court.
II wa. through the efforts OF the
High school Teachers Unina ana
Faul Lesh, attorney, that the case was
taken to the Supreme Court.
Early last February Miss Wood was
teaching a ciyics class at the high
school. During one Of her teaching
periods the class disclosed Bolshe-
vlsm. Several days later complaints
reached the Board of Educxtion re-
sarding Miss Wood. Parents OF pu-
rils asserted that Bolshsvism was
being discussed too freely.
During the f,rst part Of March an
informal conference was held between
one member OF the board and Miss
Wood The last part Of March the
Education Board announced that Miss
Wood had been suspended for one
week.
Protests Immediately reached the
board from all sides. The High School
Teacers' Union, Miss Alice Deal. pres
ident. called special meeting. In
dignation was expressed at the sus-
pension order. and the informal pro-
eeedings OF the board in Miss Woods
case were severely criticised. For
more than a month there was wran-
Cling over the case.
In May the teachers union decided
to take the case to court. Attorney
Lesh, who had won several previous
the case. Hearings on the petition
of the attorney for . writ of man
damus in the case were held in June.
After the hearings were completed
decision was reserved.
No Opinion Filed.
In granting the writ yesterday the
court filed no opinion. The writ. how
ever, will blot" Miss Woods case
from the school records by reversing
the boards decision.
I'VE have won our fight" Miss Deal.
of the teachers unions, said today.
For many months we have been
fighting to have Miss Wood vindi-
Gated. With US 1t 10 a matter Of prin.
ciple. The court has set q precedent.
1t Is unfair to discipline q teacher
without hrst giving her opportunity
to clear herself Of any allegations. II
