reply from the White House reiterat-
ing the governments position on the
rail and coal strikes, was the beilef
expressed here Thursday by Samuel

Liquor Men Think
Haynes Holds Up
Medicinal Booze

Louisville, Ky. July q .-Charges
that Prohibition Commissioner Haynes
and his offices were exerting illegal
administrative measures under cover Of
the NoStead act and were opposing
the proper distribution OF medicinal
whiskey and alcohol were contained in
resolutions adopted by diStiiicrs of the
country at the close of their meeting
here Wednesday with an appeal to
President Harding. the secretary Of the
treasury and the commissioner of in
ternal revenue to ''see that the federal
prohibition commissioner conducts his
office in conformity with accepted
standards of well regulated and respon-
sible public administration"
The appeal also asked that the com
missioner and his subordinates 'be
compelled to desist from the exercise
Of purely discretionary administration
not consonant with the law
The resolution said it was common
knowledge that the Illicit traffic in
liquor was unchecked, while the official
oppression and legal distribution of
pure medicinal whiskey and grain al
cohol was resulting in a substantial
denial to the public in its right to Sc
cure liquor legally.

AGAINST THREATS
Of DEATH. CHARGED

Trial of Labor Men on
Murder Charges.

Chicago. July 27.-The bombing of
the homes of plumbing contractors and
threats that if n%on-union contractors
came to Chicago someone might &c
ont in q box were told by witness at
the trial of Fred Nader. president of
the Chicago Building Trades council
Wednesday on charges of conspiracy
resulting in murder.
The question of the wage scale fixed
under the mediation award of former
Federal Judge X. NJ. Lands came into
the trial for the first time over the
objections on the part Of attorneys for
Nader, Timothy Murphy. another labor
leader. and the three other defendants.
B~ombings, sluggings and other terror
list outbreaks, which followed efforts
to enforce the Lands award, culminat-
ed in the Staying of two policemen in
connection with whose deaths the five
labor leaders are on trial.
James j. Barbour. attorney for
Murphy. argued that the Lands award
had nothing to do with the case and
drew an admission from Henry
(Smash) Hanson, the states star wit
ness. that he had no knowledge con-
meeting Murphy with the Staying.
Elwood Goldman, special states at
torney, outlined the states contention
on the wage award as follows:
THE purpose is to show the common
motive operating in the minds of all
the defendants toward the accomplish
ment of which they INDUCED in acts
of violence. that they banded together
to prevent building operations under
the Lands award by violence or any
other methods they saw fit to take"

the American Farm Bureau federation

Gus over the continuance Of the Goa

limit was estimated AT a week TO 10
days; in Ohio grain elevators cannot
now obtain sufficient cars; in Mis-
souri, threshing coal is available but
cannot be moved because of the lack
of cars; immediate action was said

Outlook Is Bright,
Says Reserve Board

Washington. July 27.-Business pro.
spects in Argentina are bright but the
indications in Brazil and Chile are less
optimistic, according to a survey of eco
nOmic conditions in South America
issued Wednesday by the federal reserve
board.

in Argentina, the board stated, have
been following a satisfactory course.
Gradual recovery from the postwar

MAN SET FIRES
TROUBLE CROWS
IN WASHINGTON
Suspect Men of Crews
Who Like to Stay
in One Place.

Olympia. July 27.-Combined with
the ever increasing danger from fires
is the undercurrent of incendiarism
which has developed in several sec
tons of the state. according to State
Forester Fred f. Pape. Although
this menace has not assumed large
proportions. it is serious enough to
cause worry under existing conditions,
it was said.
The fact that a number of old fires
have sprung up after being virtually
extinguished by fire fighters has led to
the belief that some members of crews
anxious to continue working in certain
areas, are responsible. Several un-
der suspicion have been discharged.
Another danger exists in the land
owners who seek to burn over logged
off areas in order to create pasture
for their stock next spring.
The situation was described Thurs
day by Mr.. Pape as the most critical
in the history of the state as to the
number of fires beyond control. the
area burned over, and the expense
of fighting.
A new fire was reported nea Win
lock in Lewis county, in the works of
the Menefee Lumber company, which
is threatening green timber.

PUSH FORWARD
ON |RREGULARS
Face Concealed Mines
Laid to Destroy Them,
Are Going Very Slow.
Opposition Is Strong but
Exact Location Of Con-
flict Is Unknown.

ated ss.)-The Free State troops,
pushing their campaign into the south,
have advanced into a region where al
most every road has been rendered i'm
passable. They now face innumerable
concealed mines, which have been laid
for the purpose of en~compassing their
distinctions; hence they are moving
warily.
Fighting is in progress and the ma

opposition, though the exact location
of the fighting is not known here.
The nationals are reported to be at
lacking the irregulars from three
$ des. bombarding their positions with
light field pieces and machine guns.
Both troops and civilians are displaying
heroism, the civilians assisting in bring
ing in the dead and wounded under
intense fire.
One striking feature of the situation
Is the unwill ngness Of the irregulars
to take the offensive. The national
troops are moving forward i'll good
spirits. but under difficult clrcum-
stances.
The capture of Westport was a sur
prise to the irregulars. who fled into
the fastness of north Mayo. Some of
them were capturd after Intellectual
attempts to burn the jail, the postof-
flee and the barracks.
a hundred civilians were rescued
from the irregllars Thursday at Rath-
downey, Kings county, including Col
onel Reynolds. who was kidnapped at
>llgo some time ago.
A party of Free State troops were
ambushed Thursday near Kilmallock.
