Seizure of Vessels.


and sale of foreign ships violating
American prohibition laws is under
consideration by the bureau of in
ternal revenue as a means of curb
ing liquor smuggling. Officials of the
bureau were represented tonight as
seeing no solution to the problem
other than through invoking libel
! provision of the Volstead act against
ships bringing in liquor.
Evidence gathered by federal en-
forcement agents was said to have
disclosed that masters of foreign
ships frequently conspired with their
seamen to violate the prohibition
laws. The supply of alcoholic bever-
ages has been greatly increased
along the Eastern seaboard by this
means, it was said.
The bureau is understood also to
have discovered definite connection
between foreign seamen engaged in
smuggling and a "whiskey ring
through which the smuggled COM
! modify is marketed.
Act Carries Teeth
The Volstead act provides speci-
ficially for confiscation of vehicles
of transportation employed in viola
ton of that law. Bureau officials
were said to feel that although for
eign complications may result, they
should take steps in that direction in
order to control the traffic. No esti-
mate. has been made of the amount
of liquor thus reaching American
"bootleggers," but officials are
agreed it has reached large proper
tions within the last six weeks.
Technically foreign ships are
within jurisdiction of American
laws when inside the three mile
limit. This makes them liable to
confiscation at any time contra
band goods is found on them. The
belief was indicated, however, that
seizures of few ships would END
the activities of the seagoing boot.
leggers.
Certain foreign shipments are al
legged to have employed unique
method of defeating prohibition
The reports revealed, it was stated
j that pay of seamen had been re.
duced to nominal amounts and in
some cases TO the amazingly small
figure of 81 a week. In lieu of more
pay the seamen were permitted to
lay in stocks of liquor in foreign
ports and deliver it in American
ports.

PLAN TO ADVERTISE
 STATE IS PORPOSED

SIAIG tS HOhffOSEO
 Through the Yavapai County Cham Der of Commerce there is being advo- cated united advertising campaign for the entire state of Arizona. At a recent meeting of this organization Francis s. Viele, of Prescott, proposed plan for uniting all the commercial organizations in the state for the pur- pose of a general comprehensive cam paign for advertising which should in- clude all the industries of Arizona.
 Grace M. Sparks, secretary of the Yavapai County Chamber of Com. merce, has advised the secretary of the Phoenix chamber of their willing ness to cooperate in this matter. The Phoenix chamber, in replying, suggests that state bureau of immigration be created, with appropriations sufficient to carry on the work for the benefit of the entire state. Doubtless this will be taken up with the other com mercial organizations and it would ap- pear that this is the favorable time for carrying out this much needed work.
 Visitors to the east almost invari- ably find that there is a lack of gen. eral knowledge of the opportunities that exist in Arizona, and it is only by some united action that the re sources of the entire state can be ad vertised properly.

COCHRAN FLAYS
LABOR HEADS
Franklin Nat. Bank Presi-
dent Vigorously Denies
Federation S Charges.

Vigorous issue with heads of the
American Federation of Labor for
their statement that there was a
deliberate conspiracy on the part
of certain capitalists to slow up
industry for no itiraI ~ no 80 wa :
taken yesterday by John Cochran,
president oI the Franklin .>L.I,a..I
Bank.
1T is true" said Mr.. Cochran.
that money Is getting very tight.
due TO the increase in the discount
rate, and that many firms have
been forced to curb their expan-
sion because of difficulty in get
ting money even on the best Sc
curity.
But to imagine that 1t is a con-
spiracy of any sort is absurd. The
in curbing imitation,
has acted just in time to prevent
a panic. Within year. IL this
policy of gradual defiation Is fol-
lowed. conditions and prices should
be nearly normal.
THE government did not raise
the discount rates until January.
1920. 1t should have raised them
within week after the armistice.
and II it had done so we would
not have the sad record of 1919, a
year of wild spending and of the
most shameless profiteering we
have ever known.
1t was case of letting imitation
go on until we reached a precipice
and fell into terrible panic, just
as in 1873. or of gradually coast
ing back to normal by curbing loans
and controlling business expansion.
The result Is an inevitable slow
ing down in some industries, and
the discharge Of some workers. But
that is far better than going
through a financial calamity from
which we would have needed years
to recover.
"The Federation of Labor and the
brotherhoods are showing
very shortsighted, for IL
is the laboring man more than any
other who Is hard hit by a nnan-
cial panic"

ROADS TO SEEK INCREASE
IN PASSENGER RATES

Railroad executives met with
passenger and freight traffic man.
ayers here yesterday to consider
means of raising additional reve-
nue. to meet the $500. 200. 600 wage
increase awarded rail workers.
Those attending the meeting said
IT would probably be decided to ask
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to raise passenger fares a half
cent a mile.
An official of one of the big East
ern roads said that the previous in
creases asked by the road had been
entirely on freight rates. Railroad
officials felt. he said. that il was
fair to ask passenger rates to bear
a part of the increased burden.
Immediately after the railroad
executives reach a definite decision,
they will begin preparing a plea
TO the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. which is now considering
the requests for freight increases.
