ASK MILLION more TO
CARRY ON DRY fight
$4,000, 900 Appropriation to
Enforce Prohibition Next
Year Sought

Washington, Sept. 6.-Appropria-
ton of s10,OO0.000 for federal work in
enforcing prohibition next year, and
increase of s1,O00,00O over last year
has been requested of the budget
bureau by Prohibition Commissioner
Haynes An increase of 100000 addi-
tional for enforcing the narcotic drug
laws has also been ask4S by coreIniia' ny 9
sioncr Haynes
( Increase in the nuniNcr of field
agents as well as the, Washington and
field headquarters staffs of the prohi-
bition forces in planned if the in
creased appropriations are approved
by the budget bureau, President Cool
idge and finally congress. More pro-
hibtion agents are believed by Com
missioner Haynes TO be needed, Re-
peal of the New York state enforce
ment law and partial failure of state
co.. cooperation there and elsewhere are
understood to be the chief reasons for
the request for additional appropria-
tons.
The prohibition enforcement fund
for the current year is 100000. This
also includes funds for enforcing the
narcotic drug laws Commissioner
Haynes requested originally S9.250,0 900
but the budget bureau Topped off
quarter of a million and congress
appropriated the full amount estima-
ted in the budget This, in the opinion
of Prohibition officials has been de.
to be inadequate and they
are asking for a total of S10,500,000
for liquor and narcotic drug prohibit
tion activities for the next fiscal year.
How many field agents can be ad-
ded to the federal staff If the increase
requested is provided has not been
determined by Commissioner Haynes.
Increased salary rolls due to the new
of federal employees and
repeal of the s240 bonus must be
taken care of, The prohibition field
force now consists of about 1900
agents to cover the United States
according to officials.

Harrisburg. Pa. Sept. 6.-Leaders
Of the miners union and anthracite

to a general suspension of mining

derstood to be in the governors
hands as a result of the executive
sessions of yesterday.
Some Moderation.
Miners union officials too, had in
some degree moderated the original
scope Of their organizations demands
by agreeing that 10 per cent wage
increase for contract miners might
do. They continued, however, to
ask more for the day workers. who
constitute the bulk of anthracite en-
ployes and to this the operators were
most unwilling to accede. The union
likewise tentatively offered to mt a
limit to the amount of dues which
would be assessed against its men,
bers If the operators would agree to
collect those dues by the "check-off''
method OF holding the amounts in.
volved out of each individual miners
pay check.
Based On Original Proposals.
The tentative offers as made were
all based on the original peace pro-
posas of the governor which in.
oluded a 10 per cent fiat increase in
wages for all anthracite workers;
abolition of all but eight-hour en-
ployment; recognition of the union
and of the principles of collective
and dropping of the
"check-off" demand by the union in
exchange for an agreement by oper-
ators to let union agents collect dues
in company offices on pay days.
In bringing out the new proposals
yesterday Governor Pinchot was said
to have suggested that the employ
ers forego their arbitration stand to
which the union has indicated un-
fiinching opposition and that the
leaders in turn drop the |
''check-off' proposition entirely. The
statements from each side |
did not quite bring about the bar
gain suggested.
