Prey on Vets
by United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, September 90
Dope pedlars who prey on disabled
eX-servlce men and fleece them of
thelr compensation have been made
the objects of a joint crusade bv
'he veterans bureau and the fed
eral narcotic forces.
Gangs of dope pedlars have been
for months operating near veterans
hospitals with the result that a
serious problem had been put up
to bureau officials to protect the
veterans.
Director Hines today announced
that orders have gone out to all
employees of the U. S. veterans
bureau to give every assistance to
the narcotic forces of the govern
ment.
AS result of the joint campaign
to eXterminate the dope gangs,
more dope pedlars have been arrest
ed and punished in the past 40 days
than in, the previous six months,
Hines said.
In the San Francisco district
alone, he stated 35 pedlars includ-
ing four who dealt in drugs in
wholesale quantities and more than
$4,000 worth of narcotic drugs
have been captured.

N. Y. STRIKE OF
PAPER WORKERS
BECOMES ACUTE

NEW YORK, September 20.-Ad-
ditional police guards were posted
today outside of offices of New
York newspapers where "combin-
ed' editions are being published
despite the pressmen s strike. The
lines of battle were tightened, with
men and employers both voting de-
termined resistance to the other s
demands at meetings lasting, into
the early hours.
Major George L. Berry, president
of the International Printing Press
mems union, ordered the men back
to work but they definitely refused
to go. After this decision had been
announced the publishers called for
q new union and asked that all
the strikers be outlawed.
Meanwhile, New York's news
papers readers went without their
papers 'for the most part. An in
creasing number of the Combin-
ed' editions of eight pages appear
ed for sale, but the number was
not nearly sufficient to take care
of the news hungry city's de-
mands.
There had been no reports of
violence early today since the
arrest of five men who attempted
to destroy copies of the Combin-
ed New York Morning Newspapers -

CONVICT ALVAREZ
in THIRD TRIAL
ON BOOZE CHARGE

1t required less than five minutes
for a jury to bring in verdict of
guilty yesterday afternoon in the
superior court, thereby convicting
Jose Alvarez on his third trial for
violation of the prohibition law.
Alvarez, who was proprietor of
the Martinez rooms at Imperial, was
arrested last May following search
of his place by Sheriff Gillett and
Imperial Officers, who found IL
half-pints of Sunnybrook whiskey
cached in kitchen stove. His
first trial, held before Justice May
field in the FL Centre town court,
resulted in hung jury. He was
convicted on his second trial in
the same court, and was fined $500
but appealed the case and was
granted a new trial in the superior
court.
The trial opened yesterday morn
ing and shortly after noon jury
was sworn in. Sheriff Gillett, Dep
uty Sheriff Evans and Officers Diz-
ney, Powell and Mitchell of Inper-
ial testified to visiting Alvarez
rooming house and finding the
liquor. The witnesses swore that
Alvarez had tacitly admitted his
knowledge that the liquor was on
his premises by informing them
when arrested that the IL half-pints
was all the whiskey he had.
Testifying in his own behalf, AL
varez denied that he ever made
such a statement to the Officers,
and also maintained that he did not
know the whiskey was in the stove.
He claimed that the stove was
never used for cooking notwith-
standing the testimony of his form
er cook, who swore that she had
used the stove several times, and
that Alvarez knew of il.
District Attorney Utley and Dep
uty Simpson conducted the prosecu-
tion, and Attorney Victor Berry
defended Alvarez.
