The paralysis of the wholesale clothing
market for the past 60 days has brought
about a situation unparalleled in this coun-

enormously.
We then planned the most daring coup ever con-

PROHIBITION MEN
WIN FIGHT
81, 100000 Voted by House For
Breaking Up Traffic
TOO MANY MEN AS AGENTS
Good Says Members Nod to
Wheeler as They Do to Sam
uel Gompers

Washington, Feb. 22.-Friends Of
prohibition enforcement in the house
today won another battle to keep
liquor beyond the reach of those not
permitted to handle or drink it,
After flare-up that threw the
house into bitter debate toward the
close of a peaceful holiday session,
the prohibition forces rallied follow
ers and put through a motion direct
ing conferees on the deficiency bill to
give the government $l.40O,O0O to
break up the liquor traffic from now
until July J. 1t was the top figure
discussed.
Before the vote was taken, however,
charges flew thick and fast, Chairman
Good, Of the appropriations commit
tee, declaring enforcement agents
openly were winking at the laws vio-
latiOn. Representative Volstead. au-
thor Of the act, more widely discussed,
perhaps, than any law on the statute
books, came back with the charge
that attempt was being made to
break down the machinery Of en-
forcement throu,n failure to provide
adequate appropriations.
Others jumped into the fray, and
for an hour it was muhc like the old
days Of prohibition fighting in con-
gress. Calling Wayne Wheeler, gen.
eral counsel for the Anti-Saloon
League. by name, Mr.. Good declared.
even this champion Of prohibition be-
lieved there were too many Men on
the rolls of the Internal Revenue bu-
reau who were winking at violation
Of law.
Il have talked with Wayne B.
Wheeler. who sends his commission
to this house, where men nod TO him
as they nod to Samuel Gompers and
vote money out of the treasury
whether they want it or not" Mr..
Good declared. "Mr. Wheeler will
tell you the same thing he has told
me, that there are more vets than
drys in the bureau, and yet he comes
and demands that you vote more mon
~ for them"
Mr.. Wheeler, leaning over the gal
lery rail, looked down and smiled.
Il resent the charge" Mr.. Good
continued, that members OF the ap-
preparations committee are not in IA
vor OF strict enforcement of the law.
We have given every penny the or
ganization can spend for the rest OF
this fiscal year. But tell you the
amount we have fixed in this bill will
require dismissal Of many agents, who
ought to be dismissed. More than two
thousand employees of the bureau are
not standing up for the law"
Representative Volstead in reply de-
clared that unless adequate funds
were provided Immediately big part
OF the force would have TO be drop
ped.

OVER
LABOR BILL
Employees Charge Erie With Vio-
lating Law
RAILROAD OFFICIAL
DENIES CLAIM
And Contends That it Is Impos-
sible to Obey Orders of Board

Chicago, Feb 23.-Sharp conten-
ton over the powers of the United
States Railroad Labor Board and the
provisions of the transportation act
marked the hearing Of employees OF
the Erie Railroad against their en-
ployer before the board today. The
petition of the employees charged vio-
lation of the act and of decisions of
the labor board. Representatives OF
the road denied both. The case re-
suited from an order, effective Feb
ruary !, reducing common labor
wages and deducting one days pay
week from the salaries of all en-
ployes paid on a monthly basis.
Most of the argument centered
about whether a ruling of the board
on February IL, ordering the road to
make no change in wage rates, was
compulsory upon the road, which had
already put a reduction into effect.
1t was conceded by the rail represent
atives that the intent of the order
was to maintain the rates Of the
wage award of July, 1920. They de-
MED. however, violation Of the law in
changing those rates. business de-
preston and revenues below operat-
ing expenses were given as the rea-
son for the reduction order.
During his testimony. r. S. Par
song, general manager for the road,
was asked by Henry T. Hunt, public
member of the board, whether the
roads position meant that IL would
not obey the orders of the board.
''We can't do it," Mr. Parsons re-
| piled. I'VE want to do everything
possible to get olong with the board,
but l don't know what We would do
If the board issued impossible or
ders."
Samuel Adams, attorney for the
Erie Railroad, explained the roads
attitude on the transportation act
from the legal standpoint and denied
the power Of the board to continue the
rates Of its decision. No. 2 (Juiy

a Russian or an American. The man
answered, but the sentry did not un-
derstand.
AS the coat of the man indicated
nothing helpful to Identification at

Of getting better look attempted to
seize the pocket lamp. The man drew
the lamp back and at the same time
approached the sentry, with his

tended to assault him with re-

"Out of fear the sentry withdrew a
few steps and made himself ready
for self defense. The man turned and
walked away a few steps The sem
