HAYNES PLANS TO
TIGHTEN DRY LID
New Prohibition Commissioners
Completes Program for Pc
organizing Force.
SENATORS STUDY PLAN
Suggested Changes Include Abolish
ment of Half the Supervisory Jobs
and Establishment Of System
Of State Directors.

washington - Prohibition enforce
ment officials have completed a pro-
gram for the reorganization of the fed
eral enforcing units and revision OF en-
forcement methods. The suggested
changes which include adjustment Of
about half of the supervisory jobs and
establishment of a system OF state d.
rectors to be held wholly responsible
for enforcement and administrative
work, were submitted by Prohibition
Commissioner Haynes to Chairman
Penrose and Senator Watson, Repub-
lican, Indiana, of the Senate finance
committee.
VIII Tighten Rum Lid.
Senators who studied the plans de-
clared the changes would tighten the
lid on liquor and would result also in
a saving in the cost of enforcing the
Volstead act. Mr.. Haynes and Com
missioner Blair OF the Bureau Of In
ternal Revenue, who approved the pro-
gram. explained to the senator's that
they had sought to eliminate red tape"
and made the enforcement corps more
responsive to its various duties.
Mr.. Haynes said ii had been clearly
demonstrated after a thorough trial"
, that the present plan Of organization
OF the field forces should be aban-
doned.
He wanted, he said, a centralized
authority, coordination in the handling
of permissiye and enforcement fea-
lures and elimination of uncertainty,
friction and confusion as a result Of
present methods.
Abollshes Supervising Agents.
In addition to the creation OF a SIN
gle enforcement and administrative
unit for each OF the states. Mr.. Haynes
proposed adjustment Of the offices OF
supervising federal prohibition agents,
elimination of prohibition inspectors
and the designation Of all enforcing
and administrative officers under the
state directors, as prohibition agents,
transfer OF offices of several OF the
directors to logical and accessible To-
cations, creation OF a mobile field force
organized TO operate directly under
the federal commissioner and the con-
eolidation of all records to avoid dup
lication and. at the same time, to pro-
vide a closer check on leaks which may
be sprung in the liquor supply.
Mr.. Haynes reorganization program
was worked out on the assumption that
the prohibition unit will remain in the
treasury department, 1t was said. The
proposed changes, 1t was added, had
the approval Of every officer both In
the bureau and in field enforcement
work.

PLANS TO PREVENT STRIKES

Secretary Davis Believes He c n Stop
Nine-tenths of Labor Troubles.
Washington-Secretary of Labor J.
J. Davis is drafting a plan which he
believes, with the expenditure Of 81 o.
600 a year by the government, would
prevent nine-tenths of the labor strikes
in the country.
II believe" he said, that if the gov
eminent would provide key men, one
for each Of the Is major or key in
dustries, strike troubles would cease
to a large extent.
Zone Of these men would be assigned
to each major industry. He wou d
have a couple of assistants. Their du-
ties would consist Of making a study
Of the industry, both from the employ
ers' standpoint and also from the
viewpoint Of labor. They would be

the employer and the employee, would

Railroad Officials Point Out Diff
ficuIties in Returning to For
mer System.
REFERRED TO HILTON
s]teenerson Bill Held Remedy BY Grain
men-RalI Congestion Feared II
Duel Inspection Plan Is
Employed.

st. Paul-Re-establishment of Min.
nesota grain grades as directed by the
recent legislature Is virtually impos-
sible, railroad officials informed the
state board Of grain appeals. The diff
culties are both legal and practical.
The legal questions have beer refer
red to Attorney General Clifford l. Hill
ton, who is preparing an opinion, and
the Minneapolis and Duluth appeal
boards will meet to determine the
course of action. They are directed
in a resolution by tho legislature to re-
store the old state grades August 1s
On grain raised and marketed in Min
nesota.
The difficulties faced by the board
in putting this into effect are as fol-
lows:
Grain shipped into Minneapolis and
Duluth is sampled on the way, and SAM
pies sent to the state grain inspection
departments for grading. All samples
now are given federal grades, and the
state inspectors are licensed by the
federal department of agriculture.
ALI grain shipped in from North Da-
kota, South Dakota or any other state
has to be given federal inspection and
any grain shipped outside Minnesota
requires it. Any inspector grading the
grain under any other system would
lose his federal license.
Railroads are forbidden by law to
give out information as to freight ship
ments. except to the shipper or coa-
signee, so there would be no way for
inspectors to know whether a car came
from a Dakota or a Minnesota point.
They are not allowed to look at way
bills.
Wheat trains are made up without
reference to their origin, with cars
segregate the cars originating in Min
nesota would mean much delay and ex-
pense. D.
Convinced that restoration of the
Minnesota grades 10 not feasible now
in the form of dual inspection, officials
from Minnesota and the two Dakotas
where preparing TO go to Washington
and appear before the house commit
tee on agriculture June 81. That is
the date for hearing on Congressman
Halvor Steenerson's bill, prescribing
new federal grades for spring wheat,
which are approximately the same as
the old Minnesota state grades.
System Called Detrimental.
Letters from railroad officials, re-
ceived by the grain inspection depart
ment of the state, set forth the diff
culties in the way Of a duel inspection
system. One Is from Vicepresident w.
p. Kenney Of the Great Northern. He
says the situation would actually work
against Minnesota shippers, so they
would ship to interstate points in order
to avoid the expense and delay Of
state inspection.

Senate Adopts House Measure
With Several Amendments
BY a Vote of As to IL.
ENDS 7-DAY DEBATE
Federal Regulation Of Packing Industry
Of the Country to Be Directed
Through the Secretary
Of Agriculture.

Washington-The long fight in Con-
gress over legislation to regulate the
packing industry was virtually ended
through adoption by the Senate, As to
FL, OF the regulatory bill recently
passed by the House. Several amend
ments by the Senate necessitated re-
turn Of the bill to the House which
probably will order it sent to confer
snce.
Passage of the House bill came after
seven days Of continuous and heated
debate and after the Senate had voted
down the bill reported by its agricul-
tural committee and measure offered
by Senator Sterling, Republican Of
South Dakota. The House bill as
passed provides for regulation Of the
meat packers Of the country by the
Secretary of Agriculture.
The agriculture committee bill which
provided for regulation by a live stock
commissioner, was rejected 81 to "a
Thursday and Friday was defeated
again "a to 81. The Sterling bill with
provisions similar to the committee
measure except for regulation by the
Federal Trade commission, was de-
feated, 33 to 81.
The House bill on the final roll call
was supported by ~twenty-seven Repub-
Iicans and eighteen Democrats and OPP
posed by fifteen Republicans and six
Democrats.
Record Keeping Demanded.
The more important amendments
made by the Senate included one by
Senator Kenyon, Republican of Iowa,
requiring packers and stockyard OPP
orators to keep such records and state
ment of account as the Secretary of
Agriculture may require and author
izing the Secretary to prescribe uni
form methods Of accounting and to
examine business methods. Insertion
Of this amendment was described by
packer regulation forces as having
put teeth in the House bill" Another
amendment adCpted is designed to re-
move the small butcher from the regu-
lation.
The bill as passed forbids the pack
ers 10 engage IN UNFAIR or deceptive
devices or practices, to apportion the
supply by interdealing, to restrain com
merce or create monopoly, or to mani
pulate prices by i~nterdealing. 1t also
prohibits stock yard operators from
charging unreasonable rates or engag-
Ing in deceptive practices.
House Bill Less Drastic.
The House bill during the debate
in the Senate generally was described
as less drastic than the agriculture
committee measure and Senator La
Toilette, Republican Of Wisconsin,
charged that it had been written in
part by the packers. The Wisconsin
senator voted for the House bill on the
final roll call and later explained that
the Kenyon and other amendments had
made it more acceptable.

Presence of the arms on board the
East Side was not known to the owner
of the ship, the United States Ship

East Side cleared for Norfolk. where,
according to Chief Of Police Hayes of
Hoboken, II was to take q cargo of
coal for a port In Ireland.

Investigations as to how the arms
came to be aboard, who caused them
to be placed there, and for whom
they were intended are under way by
officials Of the customs service. the
Department Of Justice and the United
States Shipping board.
One report is that they were snug
gled aboard from launches which came
up to ships side at night and the
arms, swathed In burlap bags, ere
