RUM

Supply Struggled Across New

Only by Market,

II OUSES POINT. n. Y. June s.
The amount of liquor crossing
the Canadian border today is
limited, solely by the amount rum
runners believe they can dispose of
al a profit.
The rum runners are more con
cerned with the market than with the
source of supply or the difficulties of
getting it across.

tons to ascertain the exact situation
following repeal of New York States
prohibition enforcement law.
From Rouse's Point westward to
Fit Covington, a stretch of sixty miles.
a bootleggers' invasion of the United
States is in full swing.
Federal Agents Uutnumbered
The Federal prohibition agents are
outnumbered 100 to one.
The smugglers, working in relays
through scores of booze storehouses
that dot the territory west of Maple e
vile and Lacolle, Quebec, are pouf%
ing hundreds of automobile loads of
every kind Of liquor into New York
State.
Little Of this Canadian LIQUOR Is
finding it's way to New York City.
New York hard stuff is coming
from the West Indies and British
Isles, as the Canadian bootleggers
cannot compete with the low cost of
all-water trans portation enjoyed by
the latter.
So the Dominion bootlegger finds
his markets in the upstate towns
Of Albany. Syracuse, Troy, Glens
Falls, Little Falls, Saratoga Springs,
Rochester and Buffalo. A certain
amount does seep south into northern
Pennsylvania and hence into Ohio,
where It finds its markets in Youngs-
town, and even as far west as Indi-
annapolis. But the bulk is consumed
in the Mohawk Valley.
Trails Zig-Zag
Within a territory included in a
roughly-drawn triangle having its
intersections at La Prairie in Quebec,
and at Malon and Chasey in New
York, the country is gridironed by
scores Of roads, many of which cross
the border half a dozen times in their
irregular course. Over these Zig-Zag
whisky trails the smugglers' motor
trucks plunge in the dead Of night,
easily effecting crossings at any one
OF the many spots which Federal
agents are unable to guard.
There are thirteen customs officers
at Rouse's Point and there are at
Malone twenty-five prohibition Of
flcers, charged with the duty Of stenNa
ming the tide. Engaged in jumpin
the border with liquor there are per
haps 900 men. connected in one way
or another with the source, the
delivery or the steering OF liquor in
the territory near the line. The
number varies from day to day, but
there are more than enough to over
whelm the handful of Government
agents

During the war period Of
prosperity. farmers got used to a
higher standard of living. They
got automobiles and victrolas and

In States where cooperative
marketing prevails, and on crops
so organized, the recovery toward
prosperity is greater than in the
non-cOoperative States.
That may be simple coincidence,
Bradfute admits. But it is a fact.
