Secretary Mellon Charged
With Failure to Put Stop
To Bootlegging Business

PORTLAND, Ore, July 7.-Secre-
tary of the Treasury Mellon has
refused to carry out the duties of
his office" in the enforcement of
the prohibition law, Governor Pin
chot Of Pennsylvania declared in
the United Societies Of Christian
Endeavor here.
THE bootleggers are bold Gov
ernor Pinchot said, because they
know that the government of the
United States has never yet deter
mined to put an end to their Grim
inal traffic. They know, you know,
and | know, that the Treasury De
partment could have set its foot
down at any time and removed this
scandal from the good name of the
United States.
Secretary Mellon has for four
years had the power and the money
and by driving politics out of the
enforcement service he could at any
time have had the men. He has re
fused to carry out the duties of his
office. and far too many Of the goody
people of the United States have
openly or tacitly supported him in
that refusal, because they figured
that Mellon was good for business.
Disposes of Whiskey
Secretary. Mellon, for the better
part of a generationa whiskey dis
tiller and whiskey distributor and
only within the last few weeks di-
vested of his interest in millions of
dollars worth of whiskey, was chosen

the responsibility for enforcing this
law. The result, and the natura
result, is known to every man and
woman who cares to think.

appointment of General Andrews as
head of the law enforcement ser
ice of the Treasury Department
means that this abominal situation
