BOOZE BY RAIL INVESTIGATED
Nationwide Investigation of Trans
portation of Booze by Railroads
as Result of Chicago Scandal

A nationwide investigation of the al
legged transportation of millions OF gallons
of bootleg liquor and beer over railroads
may be launched by the Treasury the re-
suit of disclosures of the nine million dol
lar Chicago beer syndicate. Officials in a
statement issued October 20 asserted that
the use of railroads for bootlegging pur-
poses is an international problem and that
the Chicago case is simply one feature of
a far-reaching conspiracy. It is one of
the biggest jobs the new prohibition unit
has to meet, according to the statement of
one official. Most of the beer and iie1or
Struggled into the United States from
Canada is carried on freight cars A vast
quantity is moved on passenger trains, re-
sulting in special agents being detailed to
"ride the trains" from Montreal and other
Canadian centers to this country.
Charges involving scores of Chicago
policemen and officials, five big beer SYM
dicates, five railroads and many of their
officials, and a number of prohibition
agents, have been brought before the fed
eral grand jury, Chicago, as result of
six months investigation by the prohibi-
ton department..
The case is the first in which railroads
have been proceeded against for conspir-
acy to violate the liquor laws, according
to Assistant United States District Attor-
ney James M. Mcdowell. The chief clerk
of one important railroad has been ar
rested as a result Of the investigation. He
is alleged to have confessed that it was he
who filled in between the eastern foun-
tain-heads of beer and the trucks that
awaited the arrival of trains laden with
Darkroom brew. AS part of his duties
he routed trains from divisional points to
final destination points. He told police
how beer and booze are shipped into Chi
cago under bills of 1ading as coal. The
stuff is loaded in eastern cities and sent
to the yards at Elllhart, Ind. There, the
witness said, he took it in charge and
through forged orders had the cars
shunted to outlying yards where prohibi-
ton agents little suspected activity.
Cooperation of the railroads in prevent
ing shipment of liquor into Chicago has
been promised dry enforcement authori-
tics, according to an announcement by
Federal District Attorney Edwin Olsen.
The prohibition officials have shown the
railroads that certain employees were in
volved in illegal shipments and the pur-
pose of the beer investigation has been
accomplished he added. No high railroad
officials would be involved.

THE AMERICAN ISSUE

over, per cent of the receipts of the
monopoly are to he devoted to the fight
against alcoholism, which will encourage
the temperance societies to increase their
propaganda. If, from the general point
of view, one may be doubtful of the adj
visibility of temperance societies receiv-
ing money from the liquor traffic, the
financial needs of the campaign are great
and the members of the temperance socie-
ties could not possibly be expected to sup
ply sufficient funds to carry it on eff

Much Work to Do

Notwithstanding the good impression I
brought away from Katowice, it cannot
be denied that an enormous amount of
work remains to be done in Poland.
When, for instance, one sees at Katowice
the saloons crowded with miners waiting
to buy their glass of liquor over the
counter, when one thinks that in Poland
there is still such large proportion Of IL
literate people whom temperance propa-
ganda cannot without difficulty reach,
one realizes that long years must pass be-
fore real successes in the fight can be reg
istered.
But one cannot doubt that success will
finally be obtained, for the better e1e-
ments of the Polish population are fully
convinced that it is not enough for their
country to be materially a great country,
that it must be also a civilized country.
And they understand so we'll that as long
as the present drinking habits of the peo-
pie remain unaltered it is not possible for
Poland to attain her desire of being a cul-
tured country, a link, as it were, between
Eastern and Western civilization.

The American Federation of Labor did
not even discuss a beer resolution at its
recent convention at Atlantic City. This
shows progress indeed.

the German-speaking people in the north
and south, but when they requested per-
mission to constitute Polish Grand
Lodge this was refused them by the au-
thorities, who suspected them of being
not only doubtful citizens but also Free
Masons. Let us hope that gradually this
prejudice will be dissipated and that all
sections of the population will come to
work together in order to free Poland
from the scourge of alcoholism.
Anti-Alcohol Congress a Success
Now let us return to the Congress at
Katowce. 1t was really success and, in
the present situation of Poland, for the
economical crisis is not yet wholly at an
end, it means something that so many
people could come from most remote
parts of the country in order to attend the
meetings.
The soul of the whole enterprise was
the priest, Ga1dynski, already referred to,
who, thanks to the special interest taken
by the Archbishop Primate of Poland in
the fight against alcoholism, is able to de-
had also sent to the Congress the Profess
sor of Hygiene at the University, Prof.
GanboWski. From Warsaw came Mr.
Szymanski, the special official appointed
by the Department of Public Health to
follow the alcohol question, who repre-
scented the state, and with him was also
one of the principal officials of the De-
partment of Public Health, Prof Radzi-
willowicZ, a warm. friend Of our move
ment; from Zakopane, in the mountains,
came Professor Seelieb, who, having spent
about 20 years in Switzerland, became &C
quainted there with the total abstinence
movement among the young and has be-
gun with great success to found juvenile
total abstinence societies in his own coun-
try. From LODI, the great industrial city,
the director of the Statistical Office, DR..
Rossett, is the initiator of a serious fight
Of the city administration against alcohol.
Sectional Meetings
Besides the p1enary meetings of the
Congress at Katowice there had been or
gained number of sectional meetings
for special professions, priests, teachers,
officers, students, railwaymen, policemen
and others. Most of these sectional meet
ings were splendidly attended, thus afford
ing proof of the interest that is beginning
to be aroused in the question in Poland.
National Law Step in Right Direction
The Congress meetings provided oppor-
tunity for discussing the effects of the law
against incompetence adopted by Par1ia-
ment, law which allows, quite especially,
of local option. Although the present
state of temperance education in Poland
does not permit of great progress being
made in this field one may however,
point out several good effects of the law.
The government had manifested the in
tention of altering it to meet the wishes
of the alcohol party; but thanks to the re-
sistance of great part of the better edu-
Gated element of society," quite especially
the Church, the women, the teachers, the
law has remained unchanged

Selfish Love

Dear Miss Lee: l am a man "a years
old and am engaged to a girl five years
younger. We are to be married in the
fall. / have good position, but am not
making very large salary The girl 1
am going to marry insists that l get an
automobile. l cannot afford IL and have
told her so. but she threatens 20 break our
engagement. because she says all her
friends have ears.
| do not want 10 go into debt to get a
car. but l love this girl and cannot bear
10 give her up. What do you advise?
WORRIED WILLIE.
First it would be a car. then a fur
coat. then a diamond bracelet, etc
No, Willie. it is not worth it. Either
the girl will kill your love by her
selfish demands, or she will ruin
you financially. 1t is all very well
for a wife to spur her husband on
to success. but 1t is quite different
for her to insist that he fulfill every
selfish wish she may have, regard
less Of the cost.
1t may he hard to give her up,
Willie. but your life's happiness Is
at stake.

wonder If every girl who mar
ries goes through the same mental
experiences that have been mine. 1
wonder if she finds her world very
different from that which she has
imagined
First, 1 found that love to Jack
meant something entirely different
than it does TO me. To Jack, there
are certain well-defined limits within
which lover must dwell and within
whose limits the other things that
compose his life may never come.
Love, in turn. must never stray
over into the realm Of business or
cultural interest. and not very far
into the land Of amusement. Truly
love is of mans life a thing apart.
With me, love must be a part Of
everything in which l am concerned.
All my life | have been taught this.
All the books / have read, all the
plays 1 have ever seen, every screen
picture that has unfolded before me,
told pe that love must sweeten
every task, must clear up every mis-
understanding. 1t must be the
solvent OF every difficulty, the chem
ical which made all other things
clear.
Some day" I said to myself, II
shall know this love anad then
shall know something so beautiful,
so enthralling. that life will be one
sweet dream"
I know now that I asked too
much. But does not every girl ask
the same when she stands at the
altar and marries the man she
loves?
I am still satisfied however, that
love is the only thing which sets the
vibrations of life in tune, We do
not understand it yet. We do not
know we use it, and sometimes we
bruise and hurt it until it dies.
The other day L had come to the
conclusion that I was standing in
loves light-that in my selfishness
and self-centered attitude 1 was
not making love the motive power
ofSmy existence, determined to try
out my theory again.

my husband. 1 sent it to his office
in Pittsburg.
If other women could write him
letters, then why might not 1? Ever
since I sent that letter have been
trembling and wondering what he
would do when ne reads 1t. 1 am
sure he has not received it yet, for
he has said nothing about it.
Little Marquise, I am going tc
write here what / wrote to my hus-
band, and hope that in some occult
way you will make me understand
whether I have done right to send
him such a letter.
Isn't it strange that I, who have
lived with a man four years and
borne him children, doubt the pro-
prtety Of sending him letter trying
to tell him what is in my heart?
That this doubt is not the product
Of this modern day, I know, for I
remember very well my grandmother
singing an old song which went like
this:
After LIFELONG years together
After fair and stormy weather
After travel in far lands
After touch of welded hands

Those who think only Of what
love can give them grow cold when
the fund of gifts runs out. They
do not feed their love; they merely
use it up. Then they wonder why
it does not last.
But those to whom love means
unselfishness. generosity. finds that
it grows and grows with the giving.
That is the explanation of the
happiness of so many women who
seem to have nothing except a
chance to work and to make sacri-
fees. When work and sacrifice are
for love, they lose their bitterness.
To be big, and to last, love must
be willing to sacrifice. Otherwise it
will shrivel up and die.
