Twelve Cleveland manufacturing
concerns have been practically put
out of business recently by Federal
officials charged with enforcement
of the Volstead act, but before this
was done they made profits Of more
than $11,000,000 in the Illicit sale
Of alcohol to the boOtlegging trade
of Northern Ohio, according to a
statement by w. A. Weygandt, Fed
eral prohibition agent in charge Of
inspection among manufacturing con
Germs, drug stores and physicians.
These twelve concerns, according
to Weygandt, did a business that
would make a Western land Office
in the days of the dirt" craze en-
yious. and the profits they charged
on their stuff would make Captain

WINTERS WOULD
CHANGE CRANES

As result OF a serious accident
TO an engineer on the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad, when he was
struck by a mail crane Z. 2. Win
tars, chief railway inspector of the
public service commission, has is
sued a request to the superintend-
ent of the railway mail service, at
Washington, asking that the mail
cranes be relocated at a safe dis
lance from the tracks.
Several years ago railroad engi-
neer was killed instantly when he
was struck in the head by a mail
crane Inspector Winters explain
ed that the cranes were considered
safe distance from the track
when they were constructed, but
that the modern locomotive is
much larger in size and the cranes
are emily few inches from the cab.
The railway inspectr has been
advised that il the cranes are relo-
cated, the work will necessarily
have to he done by the railroads,
and officials Of the Chesapeake and
Ohio have been communicated
with.
Mr.. Winters recently made an in
sncctton trip over q number OF
railroads and he found all of the
cranes are AGED so close to the
tracks that there is but little clear
ance between the cab of the mod
ern locomotive and the end of the
cranes lie expects within COM
paratively short time to have the
cranes relocated at a safe distance
on all railroads where necessary.

yesterday. and Miss lLevinia Eagan

reported.
Besides keeping the statue of
three pioneer suffragists clean the
women are demanding that the
room under the rotunda of the
Capitol, originally designed for the
tomb of Washington. and where
the statue now is, be cleaned up,
too, and kept clean. At present old

GeMPERS DENIES HE SAID

Remarks Of Gen.
Pershing.

Gen. Pershing is brave and splendid
soldier and 1 pay him the tribute of
saying that his generalship on the bat
tIefield is much better than his general
ship as an after-dinner speaker" de-
ciared Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor, in q
statement issued in regard to the speech
of Gen. Pershing Wednesday night at
the Lafayette day dinner, at the Chevy
Chase Club.
II did not say that labor won the
war;" said Mr.. Gcmpers. II offered no
reason and no excuse in my remarks
for what Gen. Pershing had to say. I
regret, as perhaps he himself now does,
his lack of tact, his impropriety."
Mr.. Gompers said he was proud OF the
record of American labor during the
war; and that l repeat and shall re-
