A Dry Country.

year ago today the thlrty-sl1ln
state ratified the federal constitu-
tional amendment prohibiting the
manufacture, sale or transportation
of Intoxicating liquors within the
United States. Under its terms it
goes into effect at midnight tonight,
subject to possible postponement or
annulment by decision of the Supreme
Court, before which pleas are pend
ing TO set aside the ratification upon
one ground or another.
q, Thus the country "goes dry form
ally and permanently, unless the high
est court decides that the ratification
was not sufficient. 1t had, however,
already "gone dry under the war
time prohibition law July l last. Many
of the states had previously adopted
prohibitory laws. Congress had legis-
lated liquor out of the District of
Columb bia The federal amendmen
was but the completion of a process
that had been in action for a long
time previous.
Enforcement of the prohibition
laws is undoubtedly difficult. But
heretofore the "dry" states were handi-
capped In their efforts to prevent the
traffic - tie fact that there was no
lack Of supply. Under the federal
amendment the manufacture of liquor
is prohibited. The stock is definitely
limited and steadily diminishing. En-
forcement, after a little time, will be-
come a matter of preventing the il
licit distillation of intoxicants and
their vending through secret channels.
An immense store Of liquors was on
hand, in bond, when the wartime law
went into effect, despite ample warn
ing that the limit of time was set
against its distribution. Under fed
eral prohibition this liquor cannot be
exported. It must be transformed
into non-beverage stock for the arts
or used for medicinal purposes, under
strict regulations to prevent its seep-
age into illicit traffic. Suits at law
may be instituted to recover the value
of this liquor from the government.
The courts will have plenty Of work
for some years to come arising out Of
this change.
Federal prohibition merely fastened
a process that was steadily advancing
in the United States. The tendency Of
the country was toward temperance,
even toward absolute prohibition. OPP
'ponents of prohibition argued that it
was better to wait upon the gradual
extension Of this movement. Its ad-
vocates believed that the evil of In
temperance should be cured by direct
and immediate means. The latter won
the day. The country is now "dry,"
and though the Law may be eyaaed
here and there it is assured that a
more healthful, more happy and more
prosperous people will gain from this
new condition blessings that eventual
EstwiH be regarded as infinitely more
than compensation for the so-called
liberty of action that claimed its vie
tins in countless numbers and was the
cause of untold wretchedness and
crime.

direction of Mr.. Griggs. This was done
after assurances were given the coal
carrying roads that the coal operators
would load all cars supplied.

Mass Meeting Held in Chicago
Preparatory to. Announce

BOARD COMPLETES AWARD
Not Unanimous, Says Report,
But Two Union Members of
Board Said to be For 1t

Chicago, July 19. The first grand
council for more than a year of execu.
tives general chairman and general
committeeman of the 16 recognized
railroad brotherhoods opened in Chi
cago today to passgupon the wage
award of the railway!abor board.
The boards decision, it has been
announced, will be made public to-
morrow. i.
According to union rules all question
of wage increase must be submitted
to a referendum vote, but it was point.
ed out that the call for the grand
council stated the purpose Of the
gathering to be ito consider and pass
finally upon the award made by the
board" ss,, ~.
1000 Officials Present
Approximately 1000 union officials
are expected to be- present when the
council takes action on the award.
In connection with the discussion of
a probable referendum it was pointed
out that a vote by the entire member
ship of brotherhO0ds would require a
month or more and that many union
leaders were opposed to this delay in
the final delay or acceptance Of the
award.
Samuel Heberling, president of the
switchmen's union Of North America
declared last night that if it was de-
cided the award was unsatisfactory
concerted actoion would be taken by
the 16 brotherhoods."
v" Award Completed
With the exception of few minor
changes yet to be made, the decision
of the United. States railroad labor
board on demands Of 100000 railroad
employees seeking an annual wage in
crease of $1,10OO 100000 stands com
piete today
The award, it was said. will grant
increases which will be Substantial
in the minds OF board members.
u :. Decision Not Unanimous
The decision. it was learned author
litively, was mot unaNSmous At leas
two and possibly three members dis
sented, but the announcement to b,
given out Tuesday will not disclose
who held back.
The, award. it was said, will merely
state that the decision was arrived
at in compliance with the law which
created the board 1t is understood
however. that at least two of the labor
members of the board approved thu
award. ,,
On the increases to be awarded ant
which will be retroactive to May l
1920. will depend whether the country
will be threatened with general rail
road strike. The insurgent strikes
which started last March when man,
switchmen and other classes of raj
road workers walked out, delayed thu
granting of increases.
Demands of 10000 railway express
employees, not included in the ward
will be taken up by the board Thurs
day. The express men ask an increase
of 20 cents an hour, this INCREASE
would be equal to more than 10000,
900 annually.
