Kramer Gives Honest
Views" on Prohi-
bition in u. S.

Washington, March 31-Difficulties
in enforcing national prohibition incllde
hostile public sentiment, lack of Co
operation by the states, bootlegging on
the borders and issuance of too many
dealers permits, according to John r.
Kramer, federal prohibition commits
siCner.
What he termed as his honest views
on prohibition were given by Mr..
Kramer in letter to Senator Capper.
of Kansas, and made public today.
Made Progress, Belief.
I'm view of all hese conditions and
circumstances" he said II believe we
buve made remarkable progress. We
still have much work to do and will
have for years to come. You can't t1rn
the current of history overnight Any
thing that has fattened itself upon po-
litical, economic and personal history

Mr.. Kramer said that the Volstead

SCORES
last CONGRESS
Kill Every Bill Aimed
Il at Protection of
People.

Washington, March 31.-The last
congress was characterized as the
''most reactionary of which the United
States ever has been the VICTIM" in
report by the executive committee of
the American Federation Of Labor
made public Thursday.
The report said: ....=....
1t was a do-nothing congress
except so far as reactionary re-
suits were concerned. The entire
program followed was to prevent
the pas sage of any remedial legis-
lation. In fact, any and every
III measure that had for it's purpose
the protection of the people was
either killed outright, died in
calendar, or was pigeonholed by
the committees.
notwithstanding the number of bitter
enemies Of labor who were members
OF the sixty-sixth congress, the re-
port said. friends of labor had succeed
ed in defeating a number of bills which
would have endangered the interests
of the workers and the people, among
them the Poindexter anti-strike meas
ure.

Increased activities were noted IN
some trades, but with those exceptions,
commerce apparently waiting further
developments before moving towards
anything like normal coalitions, federal
reserve agents reported
Auto Trade Brighter.
Regarding trades showing a healthier
side, including automobiles. textiles
and footwear, the board hesitatcd in
saying they had experienced more than
temporary advances due to the spring
season. Whether the activities Of
such lines portended a general revival
of business. the board declared no def
mite statement could be made.
Without exception the boards OBJ
servers reported that the buyers strike
felt first last summer, still showed al
most solid front. So great has been
the influence of the public's refusal to
buy at high prices, that where heavier
sales were reported in wholesale and
retail trade, they are ascribed wholly
to local conditions. The only optimis-
tic expression was in connection with
the employment situation, which the
review said. reflected slightly I'M
proved conditions during the last 80
days, attributed to the increased seas
onal activity in the three lines of man
mentioned as showing more
life.
Retail Price Drop Slow.
Reports from reserve banks touch
ng agricultural communities indicate
hat the cry of the farmer for labor is
being answered by persons driven out
If cities through unemployment. Here
again, however, future conditions could
lot be forecast by agents Of the board
because of uncertainties in general
conditions Reductions in wholesale
,rices continued during March. and on
his basis the board declared that post
var readjustments had not been COM
,leted. In retail stores, the drop has |
ot been as rapid as in wholesale trade,
ut reports indicate the retail trade |
as been steady.
The combination of conditions in all |
mes has forced continuation of liqui-
alton, it was stated. Frozen credits
ontinued to be released, yet there was
My slight reduction in the total
mounts of bank credits outstanding.
