in part:

We live under a government OF

CLOSED SALOONS AND OPEN
MINDS
By Whiting Williams

In the New York Times OF August
|, Mr.. John J. Fleming, of Boston,
advises that some spokesman for labor
inform Judge Gary "of the official
stand of the American Federation of
Labor i'll favor of beer and light
wines"
1t ought not to be thankless task
for someone to call Mr.. Flcming's at
tention to the illustration given i'll this
Golfers article OF the benefits prohi-
bition has brought to organized labor.
For example:
"See those 200 strikers? They meet
night after night as sober as you'd
wish to see. Back in the B. V. D.'s--
Before Nolstead Days-the only place
you could find 'em would be in sa-
looms, boozed, busted, ready to quit.
That street used to be just one sa-
loon after another. Two weeks, or
even less, was enough then to put
most o the boys down and out. To
day they got money in their pockets
after two months strikin'l And
since we walked out, we amt had but
two of the men drunk, only two DRINKS

Years ago, when | was an organ
izer, every one of the 500 strikers was
at the meeting-he had to be to get his
benefit money But three hundred
were lying on the floor dead drunk.
We had to stick the money i'll their
pockets. With the whole bunch down
and out, we had to sign up and take
anything the employers would give
us. The death and suffering among
these recent railway strikers, without
prohibition, would have been terrible.
ayes" a hard-boled capitalist
explains, "we employers, now that the
saloon is gone, can't work the old
stuff any longer, the way we busted
up our strikes back in the saloon age.
We gave money to the crooked labor
leader, and he would get our strikers
into the saloon and help old John Bar
leycorn start them off. Then he could
fix up what looked like a victory for
them, but wasn't. Today such fellows
haven't any place to work. :.

EditoriaD
PROHIBITION WINNING ITS
WAY

The editors of the Christian Herald
give their findings i'll regard to new
legislation in various states, particu-
larly the western states, as follows:
amid the tumult in New York and
a few other states arising from the hot
campaign against bootlegging, there
comes from the West the echo of the
steady march of prohibition
Iowa has added seven new prohi-
biton laws to its present list, one
which classes selling liquor that causes
death as manslaughter. Kansas has
just passed a rigid moonshine law.
Minnesota has amended its previ-
Gus legislation and has now the most
sweeping and drastic laws of any state
in the Union on the subject. Missouri
has added two new measures confer
ring more power to the police and
county officials and imposing severe
fines and penalties.
North Dakota has greatly strength
ened the state laws dealing with liquor
cases, and has limited physicians to
using not in excess of FIVE gallons a
year for prescription purposes. .
"Oho has passed two new prohibi-
ton bills, and Oklahoma and Texas
have strengthened their prohibition
attitude.
wisconsin is still in the thick of the
battle for better enforcement, but has
passed no legislation, although several
bills we're offered.
"These reports from different states
show conditions of activity which give
no indication OF any relaxation of the
warfare against illicit liquor.
Doubtless a poll OF the whole coun-
try would show similar conditions in
all the states, with the exception Of a
few where the vets continue to wage
a bitter but futile warfare. which the
most far-reaching observers believe is
destined to come to an ignoble close.

The legislature of Massachusetts

Governor Coolidge promptly vetoed In
his veto message he said; Iii this Act

My oath was not to take chance on
the Constitution. 1t was to support it.
When the proponents of this measure do
not intend to jeopardize their safety by
acting under it, why should | jeopardize
my oath by approving it?
Some of the members in voting for
this drink bill, quoted the opinions and
instructions of their constituents. Touch
ing these excuses the Governor said:

name of freedom. They are not seeking

it, they are seeking to enslave others.
Their works are evil. They know it.
They must be resisted These ideas
which are wrong, for the most part inn

Claws are not manufactured, they are

commits suicide. The nature of man

HIGH REVERENCE FOR Law And ORDER IS
COOLIDGE'S OUTSTANDING CHARACTERISTIC
Won for Nomination; Feaesy
Boston Police Strike; Vetoed Unconstitutional IT'S
Per Cent Beer Bill



The opponents OF Prohibition will get
no comfort from the changed admins
tration at Washington. President Cool
idgc has as strong reverence for law
as his lamented predecessor. He is the
man of the hour in a peculiar signifi-
canoe. No other American statesman
stands out more prominent as the apos-
tie OF law and order. The crying need
of the present time is respect for and
obedience 20 law. He fits this need in a
superlative degree.
1t was his high efficiency as Governor
of Massachusetts, his outstanding man
hood, and his fearlessness in the en-
forcement of the laws of that Common
wealth, together with the recognition OF
his great respect for law and order, that
gave him an almost unanimous vote at
the national Republican convention for
the vice presidential nomination.
During his administration as Gov
ernor of Massachusetts there arose IA
crisis in the affairs of the city of Bos-
ton. In the interest of law and order,
and to secure the public welfare, the
Police Department OF that city estab-
lished an order prohibiting a Police
mans Union from utilization with an
outside Union. Defying the department
such union was formed. Nineteen OF
the leaders in this act of rebellion were
tried by the Commission, found guilty
and dismissed from the service. This
led TO a strike in which three -fourths
of the policemen of the city took part.
i They shamlessly quit their posts and,
so far as it was in their power to do
SO, left the city unguarded.
Governor Coolidge at once took mat
ters into his own hands. He issued a
proclamation calling out the entire
/ State Guard to assist the few loyal
policemen to restore and maintain order
in that city. The measure was drastic
but it resulted in speedy success.
Many influential men sought to Sc
cure the dismissal of the Police Com
missioner and the reinstatement of the
dismissed leaders. Samuel Gompers,
himself, was among these. He sent a
telegram to Governor Coolidge to this
effect and was told in a return telegram
that the strikers would not be rein
stated nor would the Commissioner be
dismissed, and that, "Your assertion
, that the Commissioner was wrong can
not justify the wrong OF leaving the
city unguarded. That furnished the OPP
portunity, the criminal element fur
nished the action. There is no right
to strike against the public safety by
anybody, anywhere, any time"
A few days after sending this tcle-
gram Governor Coolidge issued proc
lamation to the people of the state in
which, with Gompers' telegram in mind,
he said: "The authority of the Com
monwealth cannot be inundated or
coerced 1t cannot be compromised To
place the maintenance of the public Sc
curity in the hands of body of men
who have attempted to destroy it would
be to fout the sovereignty of the laws
the people have made. It is my duty
to resist any such proposal. That way
lies treason

discussed by the Congress, as was
also the question of reprisals inflicted
upon small prohibition nations by
stronge wine producing nations. There

ernmcnt by the president of honor,
DR.. Kragh, minister of the interior.

ception was preceded by great torch
