street Tuesday night last, no place TO
go, nothing to see, longing for the
big city with its great attractions.
wneh my friend suggested that we
look in at the Anona hall. Here we
found a bunch of merry makers.
"This is not Oakley, it must be u
place on Broadway in New York. 7"
MAY we COTE in?" we asked of the
ladies at the door. We received a
hearty welcome, and were usherd in
to a magnificent hall, decorated In

booth, and no mortal was ever fed

for its citizens. isn't it delightful.

Listen to the sweet strains of the
music, and nxet we find ourselves
swinging the bellies of the little city
in the waltz, the fox trot, the one
step and then the one of our fore
fathers which never grows old, the
Virginia Reel.
The young people behaved beauti-

the brave knight smiled with "al-

A lull in the dance and from be-

of the hall, ushered forth a number

State police were en- route to posts
throughout the mine fields Of West Vir-
ginia today in preparation for any dis
turbance in connection with the nation
wide strike of union workers called for
midnight.
The non-union workers of West Vir-
ginia-a vital factor in the situation-will
disregard the call to join in the strike,
according to reports gathered here to
day.
The open shop mines will fight the
strike with increased production.
Union miners in Nfingo County and
Pike County, Kentucky, will walk out

MAY BE
USED AGAINST
BOOTLEGGERS
Paddock Provision of Vol
stead Law to Be Invoked
by Haynes.

WASHINGTON. March 31-Use Of the
paddock weapon, to stamp out boot
Logging and Illicit distilling is to be re-
sorted to upon a large scale over the
United states
Prohibition Commissioner Haynes said
that the paddock" provision Of the Vol
stead law. authorizing the seizure and
closing of places occupied by violators
of the liquor laws may prove in the end
10 be the greatest single method OF dry
ing up the country.
Mr. Haynes, impressed with the salu-
tary effect in number Of places follow
Ing the closing Of hotels and other
places where very serious violations were
shown, now believes that the handicaps
to prohibition enforcement must be over
come by the rigid application OF this
provision.
The great degree Of wetness prevailing
over the country, in spite OF all that the
Federal authorities have done, has
brought Commission Haynes TO the con-
rlusion that sull more vigorous tactics
must be employed.
Prohibition officials up to this time
have been reluctant TO employ the pad
lock" provision to stop liquor making
and selling. Even now, they declared.
they would like to ind some other
equally effective way.
The records of the prohibition en-
forcement organizations in the different
states show very concIusiyely that small
tnes and light sentences generally i'm
posed amount merely 10 a license to
Illicit liquor makers and venders to do
business.
There are now pending IN Federal
courts about 10000 liquor law cases.
Officials cited that fact TODAY to en-
phasize the Importance of their plan to
use the paddock" 1t was declared that
In the cases pending there are thousands
of second and third offenders. Ability
to pay the fees Of bondsmen and at
torneys renders them practically immune
from penitentiary service.
According to the programme agreed up1
on, officials viii ask for the closing of
buildings coupled by those known to be
engaged in the making and selling Of In
toXicating liquors as a business. Officials
said they can stop a great deal Of the
Illicit bootlegging now going on by that
means, especially in the larger cities.

his report Dorrel attached this sorrow
ful postscript:
