Survey Shows

Unions publication, today made
public figures which he maintained
proved that Chicago has been helped
by prohibition.
There can be no doubt whatever. y
the report concluded, that the
records of the city of Chicago dis
close the fact that life is m ore secure
and men and women are living more
soberly now than ever before and
that this great good has come about
because of the prohibition law
The number in the bridewell has
been cut in half, Juvenile delinquency
has been reduced nearly so per cent
and dependency 40 per cent the poor
house has not enough able-bodied
men and women to do the work about
the institutions and the death rate per

creased since prohibition became ef-
fective, said Judge Gemmill.

POLICE OFFICIALS AND
BOOTLEGGERS

Neither the prohibition law
nor any other can be enforced
il the officers OF the law are in
league TO defeat it. On the
other hand, the prohibition law
could be enforced readily
enough If all officials honestly
tried to enforce it. Whisky
could not be transported in
truckloads over the highway
from Detroit TO Chicago with
out official eonnivance or gross
official negligence along the
line. Whisky could not be
brought in truckloads inside
the limits of Chicago if the po-
lice honestly strove to keep it
out or to seize it.
1t has been the position of
the city administration of Chi
cago that the enforcement of
the prohibition law was a mat
ter of federal, not of municipal,
concern. Bootlegging i'll Chi
cago. therefore, has been
comparatively safe enterprise.
And rum running, as there is
ample evidence TO show, is ac-
coniplished frequently under
police protection.
The prohibition law, like tie
law against vice and crime, is
badly enforced because of the
highly profitable combination
between officers OF the law and
politicians with the bootleggers
and highjackers who pay bribe
money for the privilege of vio-
lating the law.-Chicago Daily

LIQUOR MAKING SHOWS
BIG DROP UNDER DRY LAW
S665 $4,000 in 1914, $155,5o6,0oo
in 1921.

Washington, d. &, April 1o.-The
effect OF the prohibition amendment
on certain lines of industry was dis
closed today by the census bureau in
announcing the value of malt and
vinous liquors and alcohol products
manufactured i'll 1921, as compared
with statistics for 1919 and 1914.
Products OF the three classifcations
aggregated $15,596,000 in value in
1921. In the prohibition year OF
1914 they were valued at $665 $4,000,
and i'll 1910, the year in which ma
tional prohibition just became effcc-
tive, they were valued at $52o,2l3,000.
Misunderstanding Products.
Manufacturers of male liquors turn
cd out nonintoxicating products val
ued at S122,050,000 in 1921. Their
output in 1914 totaled SAP. 149, 900
and in 1919 approximated $379,o05,-
000 There was y per cent decrease
in the seven years after 1914. while
from 1910 to 1921 the decrease was
68 per cent. A total OF 75404 per-
sons were engaged in the industry in
1914, while last year the number was
22.416.
Manufacture OF vinous liquors in
1921 totaled $4.757.000 in value. $l7.-
$4,000 in 1919, and $l6,6l8,000 in
1914. The 1921 total includes estab-
lishments making wines for sacra-
mental and medicinal purposes, while
in 1919 and 1914 it included also
wine for beverage purposes.
Drop in Alcohol Distillation.
Manufacturing establishments en-
gagged primarily in the distillation of
common and ethyl alcohol and other
liquors, whether sold for industrial or
medicinal uses, or in a denatured
form, reported products valued at
$2S,789,000 in 1921 Their output in
1914 was $206,77o.OO0, while in 1910
it totaled $3l $4,000.
The wide range in the statistics,
the census bureau said, was due to
the national prohibition. In 1914 cs-
adjustments coming under the class
iioation of manufacturing distilled
liquors" reported to the census bureau

brandy, and other potable liquors.

Fifteen years ago. he said, 'the
bridewell seldom hau less than 1900
prisoners and very often was crowded
with 200. Now the number OF in
mates ranges from $50 to 1900. In
those days it took all the time of two
judges sitting in the Harrison street
court to dispose of the criminal busi-
ness there. They often tried as many
as 400 cases in morning. Today
only one judge sits there and seldom
has more than l25 and often less than
fifty cases day.
In the old days Monday was the
worst day OF the week Frequently
200 drunks were tried on Monday
Today there are not more than fifteen

THAT "RUINED"
OCEAN TRAVEL
christian Science Monitor)

(Christian Science Monitor)
1t is not so long since Attor-
ney- General Daugherty's ruling
regarding the sale OF liquor on
the high seas was published as
to have blotted out the recollec-
ton that many forecasts were
made at that time to the effect
that such decision, if enforced,
would ruin the passenger serv-
ice Of the United States lines.
1t is opportune, therefore, to
give full publicity to the fact
that the transatlantic service on
American vessels is already well
booked up, even into this COM
ing summer, while as to the
transpacihc service, during the
last six months American ships
carried 62 per cent, British ships

DRY LAW RAISES REAL
ESTATE VALUES

To the Editor of Golfers:
In the real-estate business in
New York City prohibition has
been an asset which is figured
in millions of dollars in in
creased business and, likewise,
to increased fee values. The
former saloons. which it was
prophesied would be vacant and
unrentable, have been rented at
rents 100 to 800 per cent higher
than the saloon rents.
The almost unbelievable ma
terial benefits flowing out of
prohibition rarely see the light
OF day in the New York news
papers, but are known and wei
coined and will be maintained
by the great bulk of our people.
