ASKS FOR COOPERATION

Harold L. Hart, State Prohibition d.
rector announced yesterday that, due
to the scandals which have arisen In
the course Of Federal prohibition en-
forcement In this city and to the charges
made against many Of the force, he
will undertake a thorough. house clean
ing of the New York organization. He
proposes to name practically new force
of inspectors and to reorganIze the Of
nee force itself.
This action was foreshadowed on
July /. when Mr.. Hart asked for the
designations Of six employees In his
Office. These employees were dis
charged directly after George A. Glynn,
chairman Of the Republican State Com
mittee, made the statement that in spite
of the State Prohibition Directors best
efforts, corruption still impedes the
proper enforcement of the volstead act
in New York city.
In his announcement Of the impending
shakeup Mr.. Hart said that both Mr..
Glynn and the Republican organization
have cooperated with him In every way

partment and had an opportunity thor.
oughly to investigate the various charges
Of inefficiency and irregularities against
employees Of this department
Referring to the statement of
Chairman Glynn. both he and the Re-
publican organisation have cooperated
with me in every way in my endeavor to
reorganize the New York office.
Both Chairman Glynn and Gov. Mil
Ter are extremely desirous that the ad-
ministration of prohibition matters in
New York State be placed In efficient
hands and freed from the irregularities
which heretofore have been charged
against them.
while many OF the charges against
employees are unquestionably untrue,
however, owing to the scandals which
have occurred and the charges made
against many OF the force. the admins
tration proposes to name a practically
new force OF inspectors and TO entirely
reorganize the office force itself. Any
definite information submitted to the
director which points to the acceptance
of gifts or graft OF any kind by any
member of the present force will result
in immediate removal
Under the declared policy of the Ad-
rninistration the holders OF import per-
mits and Wholesale liquor dealers per-
mits. as soon as their present stock is
disposed of. will be required to surrender
their permits and to discontinue busi-
ness.
This will leave only three main
classes Of legitimate permts-to whole
sale druggists, retail druggists and man
ufacturers.
The men associated in this work are
not committed to any radical or revolu-

1t was asserted by Chairman Giynn
that persons both In New York and
Washington are guaranteeing for deh-
mite sums OF money that they can get
permits and Withdrawals at will Fol-
lowing repeated conferences with Mr.
Glynn, the State Director decided that
while he felt confident many of the
charges against employees are untrue.
there was nothing for him to do but to
sweep the table clean and order new
deal
To Inspect All Permits.
In accordance with the new policy Of
the department. Mr.. Hart stated. under
which the main classes Of permit holders
will be reduced to three. wholesale and
retail druggists and manufacturers. rul-
ing out the wholesale liquor dealers. a
reinspection Is proposed of every permit
holder In the department.
1t also was announced by Mr.. Hart
that the general plans of Prohibition
Commissioner Haynes, outlined by him
on June 20 and calling for the abolition
of supervising Federal prohibition en-
forcement agents and the placing Of all
power in the hands Of the State Prohi-
bition Director would shortly be put into
effect In New York.
These plans provide also for the con-
solidation Of the separate forces OF en-
forcement agents and permit inspectors.
One body Of men will alternate in the
performance of both jobs. There also
will be a mobile force Of agents for
special assignments, which will have it's
headquarters in Washington. under the
direct supervision Of the Commissioner
1t Is believed these changes will be OF
value, not only In point Of economy
along the lines Of the bureau consolida-
ton being undertaken by the Govern
ment, but will make 1t more difficult for
the forces Of graft to obtain q foothold
in the working organization. Agents
will be shifted from one type of work to
another, and will not have as much op-
portunity to form illegal alliances as at
present
Mr. Hart said the Albany Office would
be merged with the New York office the
1st of August, and that new quarters
in the Banks Building. on West For
tieth street, near the Republican Club,
would be occupied a few days later. Mr..
Hart expects to continue in his office
here and to have supervision ove' both
the enforcement and permit branches Of
the work.

Regarding the shakeup. Mr.. Hart
said:
