NO ILLICIT LIQUOR
TRAFFIC In HURLEY
Anti-SaloOn League Man Says Not As
Much Liquor Sold in Hurley as In
Upper Peninsula Towns.

In the opinion of w. J. Losinger,
upper peninsula superintendent of
the Anti Saloon League, there is
not as much illicit traffic of liquor
in Hurley as i'll several places in
the upper peninsula. The anti
saloon man recently gave Hurley
the twice. over and was disappoint
ed to find that things were rather
quiet as far as the liquor business
was concerned. In an interview
published i'll Tuesdays issue of the
Marquette Mining Journal he is
credited with the following report
concerning conditions as seen in
Hurley on two visits to the city:
Hurley is like graveyard" de-
clared w. j. LOsinger, upper penin-
sula superintendent of the Anti-Sa-
loon League, yesterday. Reports
that Hurley is doing more illicit
liquor business than ever. since the
federal raids. are just talk. | don't
believe there is as much liquor being
sold in Hurley today as in several
other places in the upper peninsula.
Il was in Hurley a short time ago,
and walked the main thoroughfare
from one end TO the other. | didn't
see an intoxicated man until | got
to the very end of the street. Then
saw one fellow, thrown out of one
of the business places, fall to the
sidewalk, completely drunk.
A week ago last Saturday visit
ed the town again, and walked the
entire length of Silver street a see
ond time, On this occasion / did
not see one drunk. The former sa-
looms that line the street might just
as well have been closed, for all the
activity shown. Not even was the
sound of voices inside noticeable, ex-
eept in one case, and there the talk
ing was just in normal tone of
voice; not in the least noisy nor
boisterous. And remember that this,
too, was on Saturday; supposedly
the big day for the alleged boot
leggers and blind pigs
Mr.. Losinger ridiculed the report
ascribed to Frank ID. Richardson that
liquor was being smuggled across the
line at the 500 by "boat, auto and
airplane," and that special force
of agents would be detailed to the
Lock City to stop the traffic. He
commended the efficient work al
ready performed by the federal agents.
81 wish the newspapers would pub
lish, in parallel columns. a record of
the cases and convictions secured by
federal officers, and by the county
authorities in the upper peninsula, "
he declared, and added that he could
not call to mind single instance in
which county authorities had secured
conviction in a liquor case without
aid from state or federal officials.

STEEL PRICES AND WAGE
SCALES TO CONTINUE
United States Steel Corporation Will
Not Cut Wages Nor Reduce
Present Steel Prices.

That there would be no reduc.
tion in the wages of employees of
the United States Steel corporation
was the declaration of Elbert H.
Gary president of the corporation
who also declared that the present
prices of steel would be maintained
The announcement was made at a
meeting of the board of directors,
according to reports in Thursday S
papers.
Some of the independent COM
panies had made efforts to sell
then products below current quo
tations, but the United States Steel
corporation has no intention at
this time of changing its selling
prices he said. The subject of re-
ducing wage rates among its 265,
UOO employees has not even been up
for consideration he added.
1t seems to me-" he continued 4,
that any manufacturer of steel
who contemplates reducing sell
ing prices below the basis fixed by
the industrial board in March 1919,
must have in mind the intention of
Iron County news. [volume] (Hurley, Wis.) 1913-1950, 1921-02-12

reducing wage rates accordingly,
thereby charging the difference to
the working people. If so, the man
utacturer is wrong and unfair, un-
less, of course, the present selling
prices are higher than thev ought
to be, which would be unfair to
the consumers, or wage rates are
higher than they should be. -
In answer to charges by Con-
troller of the Currency Williams
that steel prices are too high,
Judge Gary pointed out that these
products had twice been reduced
since the end of the war and that
his corporation continued to main
tain its quotations of March, 1919,
although both wages and freight
rates have climbed upward since
that time.
He was optimistic regarding the
general outlook for business. but
asserted that existing governmental
taxes and the failure of the govern
ment to pay what it owes the rail-
roads are the principal factors re-
tarding the return to more salts
factory conditions.
