section was particularly arid Manage
ments Of the larger places cooperated
with agents sent out by Prohibition Chief

SILVER MOON CLOSED

The Silver Moon Cafe, probably the
most notorious liquor joint in Cincinnati
and of which the Enquirer says, whose
history is traced to early steamboat days
and crowded with murder and excite
ment," is padlocked and stands as mute
testimony to the power of prohibition.
The paddock order was issued by Munich
pal Judge Ycatman when the prosecutor
declared that the place is noted as a resort
where thieves habitually gather" The
proprietor agreed to the paddock order
when thirty days Jail sentence and fine
previously given him by Judge Yeatman
were suspended.

SAD EXPERIENCE OF BUTLER
New Jersey Brewer Races Against Time
to Save Forfeiture of His Bond
Case Postponed

The country was interested in the case
of Edward ]. Butler, the New Jersey
brewer indicted by the federal grand jury
on the charge of bribing government
agents. Butler was making a trip around
the world and his attorney caught him at
Honolulu with the word that the federal
Judge would not postpone trial of the
case beyond January IL and that unless
Butler was in court on that date his bond
OF $4,000 would be forfeited.
Then ensued race across the Pacific
and from San Francisco to New Jersey
to reach home on the 18th. 1t was
lively scamper but Butler finally made it,
only to have the case postponed a week.

Congressman Upshaw Announces Inten-
ton to Introduce a Bill to Disqualify
Drinking Congressman

Congressman Upshaw of Georgia, ac-
cording to Washington dispatch, has
announced his intention of offering a res
olution which would Dust members of the
House who violate the Volstead act. In
an interview discussing the proposed res
olution Congressman Upshaw said:
1t seems to me there is only one
course left to the vast majority of
Congressman whose reputation as a
body is being besmirched by the
drinking habits of the few, and that is
to shut them out from further fellow
ship with their sober colleagues.

A CORRECTION

In tabulating the vote of the states and
the order in which they approved the pro-
hibition amendment, American Issue of
January 10 said that New Jersey ratified
in the Senate March 7, 1910, and in the
House March 9, 1919. This was typo
graphical error. New Jersey ratified in
1922, the dates being, in the Senate March
7, 1922, and in the House March 9, 1922.

bring labor III the wet column. The ap-
peal, moreover, will be in conformity with
a resolution passed by the Order of Rail-
road photographers, with $4,000 members
held in Cleveland sometime ago, urging
Congress to defeat any proposals to mod
fly national prohibition.
]. w. Kline, president of the Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Blaeksmiths, says,
81 am convinced Mr.. Green will take
strong hand for prohibition, and law en-
forcement. He could not do otherwise
in order to measure up TO the response
bility of his high position But believe
his personal sympathies are in that di-
rection. The rank and file of American
labor would not for moment stand for
any change in the prohibition law. They
would not advocate the return of any,
thing with the semblance of the saloon
nor l believe of light wines and beer"
Will Be No Change
A dispatch from Cleveland to the
Monitor quotes Warren S. Stone, presi-
dent of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, as saying, whatever the at
titude of the American Federation of La
Dor toward prohibition legislation, there
will be absolutely no change in the atti-
tude or policy of the brotherhood of Lo-
connective Engineers in favor of liquor
law enforcement"
From the same city William G.. Lee,
president of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen sent this statement:
"The viewpoint of our brotherhood
needs no strengthening on the prohibition
issue. Our organization has always been
on record as being emphatically opposed
to the sale or handling of Intoxicating
liquors of any description, and that may
be taken as the nearest approach to an
expression of mass sentiment on the SUBJ
ject it is possible to get
cit is not feasible to try to crystalline
absolutely the individual opinion of
body of 10000 men into one whole, sim
gle conviction. Some men like a drink
as they put it; while the others are in
whole-hearted sympathy with the prn-
ciple and practice of prohibition.
'Thc concrete situation is that our
official stand is unequivocaly against
liquor in all forms. It was equally SO in
Samuel Gompers' time, Notwithstanding
any personal opinions on the subject Mr..
Gompers might have held, or his inAu-
ence on the policies of the American
Federation of Labor"
In Nebraska
Sentiment favoring a new policy on
prohibition by the American Federation
of Labor is found among labor leaders
in Nebraska who declare a strong dry
sentiment exists among the rank and file
of labor in that state. w. A. Compton,
president of the Lincoln Typographical
Union, makes this statement:
II believe the American Federation of
Labor should change its attitude toward
prohibition. On every hand there is to
be found evidence of the benefits attach
ing to labor from the dry policy. There
is no question but that it has made it
possible for labor to improve its economic
status. In addition to that it has brought
direct and evident prosperity to the in
dividual workers. The federation must
align itself with the EXPRESSED Dublic sem
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1925-01-23

WiIHdm Oreen, an OutSpOken dry, to Sue
coed Gompers as head Of the American
Federation of Labor, is causing labor
leaders to take decided stand for pro-
hibition and its enforcement.
Many of these leaders have supported
prohibition, and many others who believe
in it have publicly refrained from stating
their position because of the well-known
attitude of Mr.. Gompers. Now labor is
proclaiming its views and the freedom
with which many of the leaders speak out
in defense of the dry cause is most graf
flying and will have splendid effect on en-
forcement and observance of the dry law.
The Christian Science Monitor has
made survey of labor circles in numer-
Gus mid-western cities and this survey has
disclosed sentiment favoring reversal of
the American Federation of Labor's Off
cial wet attitude and the substitution of a
policy in support of national prohibition
under the leadership of Mr. Gompers.
Out of Harmony
According to the statements made by
these labor leaders, the present advocacy
of the beer and wine policy by the FEEDER
atoms National Executive Committee is
out of harmony with the beneficial eco
nomic and moral results accruing to work.
ing people throughout the United States
under prohibition.
According to the Monitor the express
sion ranges from that of ]. w. Kline,
president of the International Brother
hood of Blacksniths, drop forgers, and
helpers of Kansas City, Kansas, to the
hope expressed by Victor S. Purdy, secre-
tary of the Oklahoma State Federation of
Labor, that the federation will now change
its policy on prohibition. The statement
was also made to the Monitor, coming
from Minnesota, that railroad telegraph
ers affiliated with the federation are pre-
pairing appeals to members of Congress
from northwestern states, urging their
support for strict dry enforcement.
High officials of the Railroad Brother
hoods at Cleveland, not affiliated with the
federation, declare their unions will con-
tinuc their strong support of national pro-
hibition, regardless of any policy of the
federation.
What Leaders Say
r. G.. Fitschie, president of the Milk
Wagon Drivers Union, Of Chicago, hav-
ing 5000 members, says, "All of the off,
GERS of this union are staunch supporters
of prohibition and arc opposed to any
measure which might result in return of
the saloon"
Miss Agnes Nestor, president of the
Women's Trade Union League of Chi
cago, which is affiliated with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, says, 1--WE al
ways have stood for law enforcement
above all other things. 1t is equally inn
portant that we continue our support of
the Eighteenth Amendment. The atti-
tude Of the League was defined in a reso-
luton adopted in 1922 which stated that
the League stands unequivocally for the
enforcement of the Eighteenth Amend
ment through laws passed by Congress
for this purpose
A special from St. Paul to the Monitor
says that special appeal to representa-
tives in Congress from the northwestern
states in behalf of strict prohibition en-
