Norway Man Named
Head Legal Dept.
Me. Prohibition Office

Auburn, Nc, Aug. 30-In accord
ance with a plan to promote efficient
| enforcement of the National Prohibit
| ton Act in Maine, William W. Gall
! lasher, Esq. of Norway, who was on
August 18th, appointed Head of the
Legal Department of the Prohibition
. Unit in Maine, was today appointed
/ by Attorney General Daugherty, Spe-
cial Assistant United States Attorney
for this district.
The enforcement Of the Federal
! Prohibition Act involves two steps,
j first the detection and arrest of per-
sons violating it. and second their
prosecution in court. 1t is the duty
OF he Treasury Deparmen to ivesti-
gate, ad report to the judicial Depart
| ment, that is, the United States At
! torney, all offenses against the act
1t thereupon becomes the duty of the
United States Attorney to present the
evidence o he grand jury, and pro-
coed with the trial of offenders. For
the purpose of co-ordinating these
two departments in this respect, au-
thority was conferred upon the Lee
gal Head in the office of the Pro-
hibition Director to act also as a
Special United States Attorney. The
result is that one man who has i'm
mediate supervision of the develop
ment of cases from the outset. will
subject to directions of the United
States Attorney, present these cases
to he Federal Grand Jury, and take
part ntheir trial before court. So
far as is known this is the first time
this step has been taken in the coun-
try, and it is believed certain to re-
suit in marked improvement in the
service.
Mr.. Gallagher has been actively
employed as Legal Head since Au-
! gust Is. and has thus performed his
, work in a very creditable manner.
William w. Gallagher of Norway
! was born in Aroostook County.

HARD COAL Miners
AND OPERATORS ARE
CONSIDERING PACT

Philadelphia, Aug. 30-Members of
the scale committees of the anthra-
cite miners and operators today took
up consideration Of the suggestions
made to them at Washington late
last night by Senators Pepper and
Reed of Pennsylvania 70 bring an
end to the hard coal suspension which
enters into its six month, Friday.
There were no definite announce
ments a 50 result of the days ac-
Invites ad none is expected until af-
ter each has communicated to the
Pennsylvania senators the result of
their separate considerations of the
new proposals. There were many
rumOrS throughout the anthracite
regions that a settlement had been
reached but there was no founda?
ton for them. International Presi-
dent John l.. Lewis of the Miners
Union was in touch with the leaders
in the anthracite fields and tonight he
held conference with district presi-
diets of the hard coal fields at which
he laidbefore them the suggestions
submitted to him in Washington last
night.
The operators We're not in evidence
about their offices here today, and
while there was said to have been no
formal meeting of representatives of
the mine owners, there has been an
exchanged views on the latest Sug-
gestion put forward. 1t was said to-
night that operators will make a def
mite statement to senator Pepper to-
morrow probably in this city.
If it is found that the replies of
both sides are such that there would
a chance of a joint session of the
miners and operators would be called
without loss of time. If an agree
ment would reached it would have to
be passed upon by the full scale
committee of the Union and then
submitted to a convention ofminers
del egates for ratification or rejec
ton
The veil of secrecy thrown around
the suggestions made by the Penn
syIvania senators was not lifted by
either miners or operators here but
it is generally believed that they in
volve the elimination of the arbitra-
ton offer made by the operators at
their last joint conference with the
union leaders. If this is waived by
the mine owners, it was said, an ag-
reement can be quickly reached on
all other points at issue.
In view of the fact that the miners
today declared their attitude has not
changed as a result of last nights
meeting in Washington. it is believed
the first concession will have to come
from the operators if settlement is
to be reached at once.
