American Federation of Labor last
night called upon every labor organi-

for the fight for ratification of the
child labor amendment to the Con-

In his statement, he declared that
the amendment was 'in very

leader Samuel Gompers," and that
ratification would be a peculiarly
impressive expression of our regard
for him."
This amendment" he stated, sis
necessary to bring about unity in

OF the so-called War Transactions

1t has resulted also in a thorough

about an Improvement in it's person

it's activities to Investigations of

CONVICTIONS IN DRY
CASES ON INCREASE.
Stone, in Report for Year,
Shows Penalties Becoming
More Severe.

More than half the cases terminated
nv the Department of Justice during
the past year were prohlbltlon pro-
ceedings, according TO a review OF the
wears activity, made public last night
by Attorney General Stone, who em-
phasiZed however, that much Wor II
had been done in other directions be-
sides prosecuting violators or the
Eolstead act.
Final disposition of more than So
600 cases was reported, with prohi-
bition proceedings totaling $4,000, an
increase over 1928. The increase in
prohi bi ton examinations, however, IL
was said, was due largely TO the IN
creased, number of convictions, there
being 3.114 more for the fiscal year
1924 than for the prior fiscal year"
Sentences More Severe.
THE sentences imposed, IL was
said, have shown gratifying ad-
vance, and the tightening up in en-
forcement is reflected in the heavier
punishments meted out by the courts" "
Fines, forfeitures and penalties in
prohibition cases aggregated nearly
$4,000, 600, it was said, while the total
of fines and penalties for the entire
erations of the department was
more than $12,000,000.
In this connection it was recalled
that Attorney General stone recently
emphasized that he was no more in
terested in the enforcement of pro-
hibition than of any other law of
the United States. He was equally
Jealous, he said, to prosecute violators
of all laws of the United States.
Special attention has been directed
during the year, it was said by the
Attorney General, to strengthening
OF the organization of the depart
ment and increasing its efficiency as

eating claims of $500,000,000 were
passed upon by the Court of Claims,
resulting in judgments against the
Government during the year totaling
about four and one-half million dol

Decisions in tax cases, involving
not only large sums of money but ex-

established a greater certainty in the
administration of the various revenue
acts which was desirable both from
the standpoint of the taxpayer and as
an aid to efficient administration of

Successful litigation in behalf of
the Government affecting wartime
transactions has resulted In more than
$6,0O0,O00 being returned to the United
states Treasury, while nearly $1,000
