Executive Decree Pro- vides For Additions To Federal Staff of State, County And Municipal Officers
 Is Andrews Idea.
Today's Action Will Clothe Police With Added Pow CTS and Is Expected to Aid in Drying Up Coun- try.

Washington, May 21 LP}-Addition to the federal prohibition staff Of state, county and municipal officers vase made possible today under an executive order issued by President Coolidge.
 This move made at the request of Assistant Secretary Andrews in charge of prohibition enforcement, is expected by him to augment the fed cral dry forces greatly.
 Dollar \ Year Man.
 Prohibition officials plan 10 place the local officers on the federal staff, perhaps as dollar year men, since they will be serving as federal off cers in addition to their regular du- ties
 While local officers in most states and cities are already cooperating with the federal government in the enforcement of prohibition it was said at the treasury, today's action will clothe them with federal au- thority and il is believed by Mir. An trcWs to be a big step forward in he dry work.
 How soon Nr. Andrews will take advantage of his authority and the ,Nact extent of the scope to which he will put it has not been decided, The plan was first suggested by the California prohibition adminis- trator, and it is expected to ts put Srs f,, firGt
 Presidents Order.
 Tine order Of President Coolidge ytads;
 "In order that they may more efficiently function in the enforce ment of the national prohibition act, any state. county, or municipal off cnr may he appointed, at 8 normal rate of compensation, as prohibition officer Of the treasury department to enforce the provisions of the na- tiona prohibition act and acts sup plomrutal thereto in states and terri tories except in those states having constitution or statutory provision against state officers holding office under the federal government"
 Mutual Consent.
 Appointment Of the state and city officers IS federal agents will be done by mutual consent of all parties concerned, Commissioner Jones of the prohibition bureau said.
 Before any appointments are made prohibition officials have asked ad- miniGlra tOrs to conduct survey and co report as to the extent to which they can take advantage of the executive order.
 In all states in which 1t is pos sblr. however, if is planned ulti- ma-uly to make use of the new au- thority. How many states nave laws which would prevent the appoint mcms is not known at prohibition headquarters.
 Vigorous Protests
 Senator Copeland, democrat, New York. said the executive order could not affect his state since the courts there have held that when a state officer accepts federal appointment h." loses his state salary.
 Senator Bruce. democrat, Mary land. said he regarded the order as an "outracc" and would take public notice Of 1t on the floor Of the sen 4Fr.

GRAND JURY MEETS
 ID PROBE KILLING
Shooting of Fairfield Man Dur
 ing Police Raid Being Told
JUDGE GIVES INSTRUCTIONS
Says in This Case Secrecy Is Not eccssary-ExpIains That Killing Without Justification But Inten- tionalIy Is Homicide.

Bridgeport, May q CP) - The grand jury, to hold a session to in quire into the killing of Henry Fischer, shot in a police raid on craps players in Fairfield, was charged at noon today by Judge John R. Booth in criminal court.
 The function of the jury, Judge Booth advised it, is "to inquire whether or not as a result of such occurrence a crime was committed and if so by whom.
 Judges Instructions
 "Orlinarily," he continued, when a grand jury IS convened, it is asked to pass upon the pro- priety Of putting person on trial for murder. in which case they have laid before you formally a specific charge against that person. usually already in custody, whose rights to 8 considerable extent you are bound 10 protect. In this case there is no one in custody accused of a crime whose rights you are bound to protect any more than any other citizen appearing before you"
 Judge Booth told the grand jury 1 that if it comes to g conclusion ! that certain offenseS were com mitted in the Fischer case. fl will not be strictly bound by the usual decree of silence that covers a ! grand jury investigation. If it is agreed that any ohcnse should be prosecuted, Judge Booth said the jury may disclose in open court the evidence on which if bases its opinion that the state attorney may proceed intelligently with the prosecution.
 Purpose of Inquiry
 "The purpose to which yor should address your inquiry. Judge Booth told the jury, "i' whether there is ground to believ' that a case of criminal homicide has been ,onnnitted, which c, sh to be brought 10 the attention O tho court.
 Not whether "A or 'E' is guilt! Of some offense but if there j! probable ground to believe that tn. question of his guilt or innocence ought to be tried out.
 And the mere fact" said Judge Booth, that the law permit, a mar 10 bear arms, such as an officer ol citizen having @ permit for thai purpose, does not affect the rule Malice includes all inc states ot mind in which a homicide is com. mitted without legal justification excuse or extenuation and in th' wicked and dopraved spirit of tht slayer. as disclosed and evidenced by the circumstances Of the kill ing"

Head of U. s. Steel Corporation Declares That Situation Today, All Things Consider ed, Is Better Than Average,
Discussing Industry, He Puts in Argument for Open Shop" - Expects World Peace Is Going to Continue.

New York. May q OPl-Basic in- dustrial conditions in this country at the present time, taking into &C., count all that could be truthfully said for and against. are very much better than the average. and on the whole about as good as they have ever been, perhaps better, Albert H. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel corporation, said today, addressing the members of the Am- erican Iron and Steel institute. of which he is president.
 We are peace with all the na- tions Of the globe. and this is like ly to continue he said. Labor conditions are generally peaceful per capita circulation is very large. and quiet. Money is plentiful, the interest rates are low, and every re- sponsible, worthy applicant finds no difficulty in obtaining funds for legitimate purposes.
 Finances Are Good
 "The banks are strong and well managed the bankers are fair and accommodating. and have the full confidence Of the general public. The people are at work; they are | disposed to economize; they are, in the main, sober and law abiding, and not inclined towards extraya- gance, although there are some striking exceptions manifested in some localities. As rule wages are fair and reasonable, though iu certain lines outrageously high. The law of supply and demand win soon CT or later bring these matters to just and proper regulation"
 The Open Shop
 i While expressly stating that there is no desire or intention 10 provoke discussion, much less con- troversy nor to do more than 10 hint at the position of employers in this country" MT. Gary reiterated his stand for the "open shop" which. he said, permits a man to do work I whenever and wherever he is dis posed and can agree with his en- pIoyer"
 Gauge of Conditions
 As 9 measure of business condi- tions Mir. Gary presented figures showing that bookings of the [. s. Steel corporation since January 1 had averaged about 2,4Oo tons day less than the corresponding period of 1925, while shipments for the same period had exceeded those of last year by the same amount. New bookings in the current month have averaged 30,300 tons daily, an increase Of FOO tons over the same period last month and a gain of 11,4o0 tons over the corre- spending period last year.
 Shipments have been running at the rate of about 45,00O tons daily against 47.900 tons at this time last month and 4S.0OO tons in May 1925.

 Hartford, May 21 Pp-Building operations in Hartford are almost entirely tied up as a result of the strike of the bod carriers and build- ing laborers union now on its second day, Bricklayers, plasterers and al lied mechanics have been forced in- to idleness on practically every union construction job in the city. If the strike continues very long, it is pre- dicted, the carpenters will be affected also.
 Situation Is Unusual.
 Union officials, and even leaders in the strike, are unable to predict how the present problem can be dealt with since the strike is unusual in that 1t is not supported by the structural and building trades alli- ance,
 The board Of governors of the al lance will meet tonight to take final action on the strike situation. This board has already voted as opposed to the granting of the increase. It is generally understood that the board will vote to advise the strikers to re- turn to work and if their counsel is unheeded to continue their present attitude of frowning on the strike as unWarranted.
 800 Men Affected. Approximately geo tenders are en- poyed by ten contractors who are putting up six tenement blocks and apartment houses. The other 200 work on the construction of large buildings.
 Contractors do not anticipate a long strike if the board votes against the strike, since they feel that TO building trade strike can be success ful without such support.

who have been hust1ing to beat the
ban for the past 10 days, are to
open the final series of the year
with a doubIeheader. A single game
will be played tomorrow, ending
the campaign.

shown here in this brief two.day
series and any sort of decent wealth

"Smiler" Murray are doped to start
the doings for the Griffs, but Con.
ME Mack's hurting choices can only
be guessed. Eddie Rommel and
either Jack Quinn or Howard
Ehmke are likely possibilities.
The MacIxmen dropped their
final game to the Indians in Cleve'
land yesterday, leaving them two
games ahead OF the Griffs who IN
turn are a game and a half ahead
of the White SOx.
If the Griffs drop two Of their
last three battles here, they will
nose out the White Sox, 1916 to .529.
But they must win that lone game
here to keep ahead Of the Chi
cagoans.l y
Three straight victories for the
Griffs here will give them third
place over the AS. .54S to .542.
