LESS DRUNKENNESS

Government Physicians Think Ration
System Gives Better Results Than
Prohibition

STOCKHOLM. July l7.-Sweden's
prohibition campaign, Row at It's height,
has become largely battle of statistics.
While the dry" forces point with pride
to the fact that they won victory in
the Riksdag when that body voted to
hold a consultative plebiscite Of the
wet and dry" issue on August y of
this year, the -prohibitionists are
quoting government statistics and the
reports of medical authorities.
The reports of the government dis
trict physicians scattered all over the
country are now being received by the
Swedish medical board which recently
went on record against total prohibit
ton Virtually all of the physicians re-
port that drunkenness appears TO be de-
creasing in their respective districts,
and that in many parts of the country
home brewing is declining.
The royal social boards latest report
shows that during the first quarter OF
this year inebrietv showed a further de-
cline there being only 5,2S5 cases of
drunkenness reported throughout Swe-
den. The report sets forth also that
during 1921 Norway and Finland, both
prohibition countries. were more wet in
spots than Sweden with her liquor ra-
tiening system. Thus during 1921 Swe-
deu's quarterly reports showed between
1000 and 5000 cases of drunkenness
willie prohibition Norway. with about
half of Sweden's population, had an
AVERAGE of nearly 1900 cases of in
ebriety otTenses durinr each quarter.

Especial Despatch to The Reformer.)
Copyright 1922.
WASHINGTON, July 17-There are
two sides to every question-and organ
lied labor through it's spokesman, Sam
uel Gompers, discloses its case against
the railroads, its case against the United
States labor board. it's argument against
the use of federal troops as strike break
ers and its suggestions as to how the
present strike can be brought to an end.
Sitting at the head of long oak table
in the board room of the American fed
Grafton of labor building Mr. Gompers,
in his Enthusiastically dramatic fash
ion, explained labor's viewpoint to a
group Of assembled correspondents and
then submitted to cross-examination.
In brief, Mr.. Gompers thinks the
United States labor board meddlesome
institution. He was against its creation
when the transportation act was under
discussion in congress and he hasn't
abated his opposition one bit since. Here
are the main points in Mr. Gompers S
discussion OF the present strike:

Many Violations by Roads.

First. the President was wrong in
saying that the railroad employees are
striking against their government or are
diSobeying a law when they ignore the
decisions of the United States labor
board Ninety-two railroads. said Mr..
Gompers. have violated 104 decisions of
the railroad labor board and nobody at
the White House has seen fit to issue
proclamation calling the railroad exec
utiYes law breakers and the United
States railroad board hasn't passed any
resolution refusing to recognize the pres
emit management of the railroads and
calling on the stockholders to choose new
the United States railway labor board.
1t recalled that the board recently passed
resolution declaring that the unions
which had refused to obey the board $
decisions would not be recognized and
suggesting that the workmen form new
organizations.
Second. in response to n question as
to whether the railroads were violating
the transportation act, Mr.. Gompers in
sisted that they were disregarding the
interest and purpose of the law by the
method of contracting for outside labor.
He declared that workmen, however.
did not have the same opportunity.
Asked point blank whether the railway
employees would. in his judgment, obey
the decisions of the railroad labor board
if the railroad executives did likewise,
the veteran chief of Americas labor
forces said pointedly that such state
of affairs would contribute to the conf
dence which American wOrkmen would
then have in the good faith of the rail-
roads and the labor board itself. We
did not promise to put labor unreServed-
~. however. in the hands of the United
States labor board or any other govern
mental agency.

Every Man Has Right to Quit.

This is not a legal question" he said,
nor IS it political. 1t is solely eco
monte" Carrying out this viewpoint
further. Mr.. Gompers insisted that every
man has a right in free America to quit
work if he is dissatisfied and no law
could ever compel him to work against
his will. Involuntary servitude, he said,
would otherwise be the result. With
eloquent remarks to the effect that if
men were forced to work against their
will the emancipation proclamation OF
Abraham Lincoln and the 18th amend
nent would be annulled. Mr.. Gompers
gave it as his deliberate judgment that
all efforts to regulate industrial rela-
tionS by law would fail because of this
same inalienable right.
Somewhat different were the comments
issuing from the White House. however,
to whether the government would have
the power to draft citizens to work on
the railroads in an extreme emergency.
The President holds that his powers are
imitless in an emergency, especially IT
his action is intended to preserve the
health and safety of the American peo-
ple. though officials at the White House
were careful to point out that they ex-
pect no such contingency to arise.
Makes Government Strike Breaker
Mr.. Gompers and his assistants, of
used. They say it makes the government
strike-breaker They argue that the
several states can maintain order and
uphold the law and that union labor
will not bring about disturbances. AIR.
Gompers cleared Mr. Jewell of any in
tent wilfully to interrupt interstate
commerce. He pointed out, neverthe-
less that the railroads would be sending
out poor equipment and incompetent en-
ployes to run trains and that accidents
under such circumstances were inevl-
table.
The issue in this strike, it becomes
apparent, from Mr.. Gomperss argu-
ments as well as the attitude of the
| White House. is whether the United
States railway labor board can enforce
| its decisions. Mr. Gompers wants to
see the board stripped of any authority
to regulate a mans wages. He says
wages are an individual matter. an eco
nomic question which cannot be settled
| BY a board consisting of three represent
atives of the railroads, three representa-
tivps of labor and three representatives
Of the public who Mr.. Gompers insists.
are simply representatives of the rail-
roads interests so that the lineup is SIX
to three against labor. If the railroads
and their employees We're to negotiate di-
rectly without the labor boards inter-
yeption he thinks the strike could be
settled at once and future trouble
avoided.
