FRESH STRIKES

German Police Rounding
Up Hundreds Red
AgitatOrs
by United Press Leased Wire

BERLIN, June 4.-While hun
drcds of communists were being
rounded up by German police in the
Ruhr Valley strikes continued to
spread. 1t is apparent that the
strike program had been very care
fully planned in advance and that it
is being carried out regardless of
interference.
While police were arresting com
munists in Bochum and DOrtmund.
fresh strikes were causing many in
dustries in the southern part of the
valley to close down. This prevent
ed workers from reaching an agree
ment with the employers in the
Remscheid district. The laborers,
by an overwhelming majority, vot-
ed to return to work in the Cologne
area.
Many workers walked out in the
Wuppedale neighborhoOd, while the
men employed in three big metal
plants at Barmen, on the edge of
the occupied area, also quit.
German Police Busy
The German police, partly reor-
ganized in the Ruhr, for the pur
pose of stamping out the commun-
list flame, are working in military
style. Flying squadrons of these
armed men surround whole blocks
of dwellings in which communists
are believed hiding and then a
door to door search is conducted.
In Dortmund 500 "reds were ar.
rested Practically every one of
them was armed, and many of the
houses raided turned out to be YER
liable arsenals with cellars packed
with munitions.
Many business houses and restau-
rants, which have the reputation of
being haunts of Cred were closed
by the police, their windows shut
tered up and their doors locked with
chains and padlocks.
At Hoerde, so communists were
taken in series of raids. Several
women were seized among them.
Although women have not been con-
spicuous in the rioting to date,
few were observed in the crowd
joining enthusiastically in t h G
fighting.

LIQUOR PROBLEM
CRAVEST ISSUE
SINCE SLAVERY
Sec. Mellon in Effort
to Force Showdown
by Congress
Gov. Smiths Action
Causes Split in
Democrats
By LAWRENCE MARTIN
u. p. Staff CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON, June i-Seere-
tary Mellon 8 rum regulations were
purposely made as drastic as pos
sible to force a showdown with con-
gress on the whole question of pro.
hibition enforcement, OH land and
water.
Mellon 8 regulations form the eli
max of series of events that 90 to
make rum the biggest domestic and
international issue before the AM
erican government and people. Do
nestle politics, foreign trade, inter.
national relations, all revolve now
around the question of prohibition
and its enforcement. Not since
slavery has any issue SO dominated.
Politicians of both parties have
abandoned all hope that the issue
can be avoided in 1924.
New York s repeal of the state
enforcement law emphasizes the
split in the democratic party
over prohibition. Mellon s reg
ulations reveal a division Of
the republican party. Mel
lon is a wet in his sympathies. He
feels that congress went beyond
the eighteenth amendment when it
passed the Volstead law. He favOrs
liberalizat ton of the enforcement
act.
Smith Emphasizes Issue
Governor AL Smith of New York
intensified domestic issue by sign
ing the repeal of the state enforce
ment law. He put up to the federal
government issue which will
put it up to eongress-the question
OF making prohibition effective
through the federal courts. He tore
the lid off the question in domestic
politics.
Bat Mellon went much further.
His regulations flew in the face of
seven of the leading maritime ma
tions whose laws require their ships
TO carry liquor, some of them in ra-
tions for the crews. At the very
time another branch of the govern
ment is launching plan 10 extend
foreign trade and captures new for
eign markets, Mellon strikes blow
at American commerce and raises a
new international issue. 80
Mellon and Smith are equally the
mouthpieces of those. forces in the
nation that demand Immediate re-
Taxation of prohibition. Y
