Dry LdlU Cost to u. S.
Government Is GrorUinp

Washington.-MOre than 100000 900
will be the cost of enforcing the pro-
hibition law since the United States
officially went on the water wagon
II congress authorizes the proposed
$l1,OOO,OO0 appropriation for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1926.
Every year since 1920, when the dry
laws went into effect, the bill for pro-
hibition enforcement has steadily in
creased until now 1t has practically
tripled, as is illustrated by the follow
ing appropriations during the fiscal
years:
1920, $3,750OO0: 1921. $500. 600 :
1922, $7,5OO,0OO; 1923, 100000; 1924
$9,25OOOO; 1925 $1O,OOO,OOO; 1926,
81, 100000.
These appropriations total S55,OOO,-
600, but to them must be added the
bonus for salaries allowed soon after
the war and continuing until the pres
ent time. These bonuses totaled $3,-
652. 4SS
The coast guard has asked for So
64S,257 of its regular appropriation of
$20,597 1886 for it's fight against the
rum fleet.
Adding this sum to the $1,000, 900
would mean total of nearly $2OOOO,-
600 for the year.

$4,000 PEACE
PRIZE To CECIL
Recipient of Wilson Medal
Reviews Leagues Ac-
complishments.

New York-Before a distinguished
row Wilson, Viscount Cecil of Chel-
wood was presented with the $4,000
peace award and medal given under
the Woodrow Wilson foundation for
meritorioHs service in the cause of in
ternationa, cooperation and peace.
The presentation was made at din
ner at the Hotel Aston
In accepting the award, Viscount
Cecil asserted the advance in the past
five years in the direction of inter-
national cooperation had been little
short Of marvellous"
Calls Wilson "World Citizen"
Praisins the United States for hav-
ing consistently stood for peace, Wis
count Cecil said he would not utter a
word of criticism of the attitude of
America toward the League of Ma
lions. He stressed, however, the ac-
complishments of the league since it's
inception under the leadership of
Woodrow Wilson, whom he character
lied as "a great American and a great
citizen of the world" adding: There
is no title to fame higher than that"
Mr. Wilson's contribution, he said,
was the idea that peace was based on
unity and solidarity of mankind, an
idea contrary to that motivating the
prewar system which Viscount Cecil
called international anarchy diversi-
fed by war"
Believes in Dawes Plan.
He asserted that, although the
Dawes plan was devised entirely with
out the sphere of the league, it was
founded on principles similar to those
advocated by the league. ITO my
mind" he said, what l hope will be
the great success of the Dawes scheme
Is just as much result of the new
international conception for which
Woodrow Wilson stood as anything
that has been done by the league
itself"
Disarmament. Viscount Cecil said,
was one Of the outstanding problems
yet to be solved
Disarmament is the goal to which
all intelligent lovers of peace must
desire to tend" he said, "but the diff
culties in the way are prodigious and
1t viii need all the new spirit of which
l have spoken to secure success"

Chicag0.-The $1.81 line was sur
passed by wheat on Friday with Nav

ASKS SHOWDOWN
ON FRANCE s DEBT
Reed Would Shut Off Flu
ture Credit Unless War
Loan Is Paid.

Washington.-Am officialdom
has moved definitely toward "show-
down" with France over the $4,000
C00,G00 debt owed the United States
government.
Stirred to action by reports from
Paris revealing that the French finance
minister had practically ignored the
obligation in the preparation of his
governmental balance sheet officials
here repeated their declaration that
the debt be settled in good faith.
Outstanding developments of the day
were:
The revelation that, while France
talks cancellation and Reputation at
home, her official representatives to
the United States have been inter-
preted as acknowledging the $4,000
100000 debt and indicating an inten-
tion to pay.
The declaration by Senator Reed of
pennsylvania, intimate adviser of
Chairman Mellon Of the American debt
commission, that 1t would be ''for
Frances own good to pay her debt
to u.s."
Would Stop Frances Credit.
The advancing of the suggestion
that congress act to prevent the float
ing Of additional private credits to
France until steps be taken toward
an honorable settlement of the $4,000
100000 debt.
Senator Reeds speech was received
with the greatest attention. After a
brief reference to the fact that the
money loaned to France twas bor-
rowed from our own people by giving
our Endorsement on the French obliga-
tion," Senator Reed emphasized the
point that France has not paid one
penny Of interest or principal"
Il make no threats" continued Sen
ator Reed, "but France must be told
by her friends that her inaction in this
matter has puzzled those of us who
look toward her most affectlonately.
France must be made to see that her
present course can only chill that af-
lection she has found to exist in Amer
lea throughout the past decades.
France must be told that each day
Of delay in achieving a refunding of
that debt makes it more difficult for
those who would grant her leniency.
And, finally, she must be told by her
friends that future French loans in
America are made impossible by a
reputation of the existing debt"

The basic evil from which the an
thracite miners suffer has not yet
been attacked effectively by the
union, and is not being attacked effect
lively in the present strike. This evil
is the absence of standard. basic

won by the anthracite miners have
been based upon the chaotic scales In
effect at the time of the formation Of
the union in 1900, with such changes
in the hundred and one classifcations
as the employers desire or feel strong
enough to put into effect. This has
left open the door for the must syB-
tematic Juggling Of wages by the com
panies to the detriment of the miners,
an opportunity which the capitalists
have taken full advantage. In every
section Of the anthracite district, the
miners have an enormous accumula-

yet the rise in wages has Jagged al
ways behind the rise in the cost OF
living.
The annual income of the anthra-
cite miners now runs from 5000 to
$1,000 as compared with Is years ago
from $500 to $500. More than two
thirds of the miners earn less than
$1,000 per year. The average working
year is 248 days, which reflects the
more stable conditions of anthracite
as compared with bituminous, where
unemployment has ravaged the ranks
Of the miners with terrible effect.
Conditions for organization, aside
from the existence of the more highly
organized and militant employing
class, are rather more favorable than
in the bituminous fields. The anthra-
cite miners do not live in isolated coal
camps, company towns" as do the
bituminous miners Almost all of
them live in towns of $500 population
or more, in which they comprise
about half Of the population. Some
) thing more than one-haf of them are
foreign-born, mostly Poles, Russians,
Italians, and Lithuanians. the larger
part of whom, however, have been in
America for many years. More than
80 per cent are organized into the
United Mine Workers Of America, al
tho in the anthracite the union has
