erna victims Free to. Tell.

Deputy Attorney-Generai Berger said
yesterday IN connection with stories that
brides we're paid 10 labor leaders TO call
off strikes crippllng work on, large
buildings that the persons who paid the
money are not liable to prosecution.
This fact. In the opinion OF the commit
tee members, should induce certain per-
sons to come forward voluntarily and
tell what they know about the graft that
has been SO common IN the building in
dustry.
Mr.. Berger pointed out that the man
l ~ho has invested money in large build
Ag and who gives $4,000 to a labor
rieader or some walking delegates to call
off a strike Is. in the eyes of the law. n
victim OF extortion. The case does not
come into the category OF cases where
bribes are given 70 public officials, and
the only person liable 10 punishment 4
the man who received the money.
In speaking OF the situation barred by
the COMMITTEES Mr.. Berger said he felt
G.af the present housing crisis undoubt-
eddy was due in large measure TO the
activities Of individuals who have band.
cd together 10 prohibit low bidding on
contracts. He remarked that In some
instances the construction of a house
was delayed for two years or more
and the man who put his money into
that house and whose investment
brought him no return In that lone
period will naturally try TO make UP on
his rents when the house was completed.

100000 in LIQUOR
SEIZED In BUFFALO
Three Carloads of Whiskey on
Way to Purchaser In Que
bee Taken in Raid.
FOUND IN RAILWAY YARD
Western New York Automo-
bilists Object to Searches
Made by Dry Agents.

speciul Despatch 10 THE NEW York HEnA o
BUFFALO, Oct 23.-Federal agents
ralding the yards OF the Grand Trunk
Railroad here to-day seized three car
loads of whiskey which mad been with
drawn fropl Kentucky bonded ware
hoase and were bound across the border
into Canada. The valuation put upon
tie contents OF the three cars was a,
,lea ar s5eO 900. This Is one of the largest
seizures Of present record of liquor a.
legged to be m transportation In violation
OF the Volstead act.
! The seizure produced considerable ex-
element in official circles here. VI re-
cent months International Bridge has
been the goal OF many automobile car
goes of liquor beverages. which 1t was
supposed were ferried In this manner 10
Canada and then were shipped TO some
point more favorable for reconTsnment
To the United States. The liquor run
ming situation has become so acute thar
officials in Quebec have been meeting
with Federal authorities to put cheek
to the operations. There was no evil
dence. however, that the seized whiskey
was to come back into this country.
Increased vigilance is being exercised
and every automobile Is scrutinized. The
raid on the railroad yards was conducted
rpon telegraphic advices received by
George w. Davidson, Jr.. Collector Of
the port. Accounts of the actual rea-
son for the seizure varied. 1t was said
that no permit for export had been IN
cluded in the shipping papers. but otne'
officials denied this. The only announce
ment Mr.. Davidson would make was thai
ne was mot satisfied with all of the pa
pers furnished for the transportation Of
the liquor"
The cars, according to the customs
agents, contained $500 dozen bottles Of
Old Jordan whiskey. consigned from the
John d. Thompson Distilleries of Iar-
rodsburg, KY. The consignee was La
Gle Generate Importation of Quebec.
Several of the raiding Nofficers said
that the waybills did not include permits
sion from the revenue officials In Ken
lucky to export the liquor.
In spite OF the activities of alleged
liquor runners across the border, Fed
eral Commissioner Heating dismissed
to-day a charge of transporting liquor
without permit lodged against Edward
Miller OF Scranton. Miller contended thai
be was travelling in an open car and
that the Federal agent violated his au
thority in compelling him to stop and
submit to search when not armed with
warrant This contention Commits
sioner Heating sustained. Federal At
torney Mills thereupon asked Federal
Judge Hazel to give a ruling on this
right Of agents to stop automobiles on,
the highway and search them for Liquor
Several prisoners whose cars, have
been stopped lately are indignant over
the proceedings and threaten to prefe;
charges against the agents.
