Investigation of Anti-SaIoon

Rv the Associated Pres.

BY the Associated Press.
Final briefs have been filed by the
vets and drys with the Senate pro-
hibition committee. the former de-
manding thorough investigation of
the Anti Saloon League and the lat
ter contendinG for lesislat ton to re-
inforce the Nolstead act.
The committee. meanwhile, is
planning TO take up tomorrow the
revised Goff bill. which embodies all
of the proposals for tightening en-
forcement machinery on which its
members and Assistant Secretary
Andrews have been able to agree.
Wayne B. Wheeler. general coun-
sci of the Anti Saloon League. said
in his brief that the best reasons for
prohibition had been brought out in
the arguments against it presented
at the recent hearing. and he cited
the testimony of the New York. Chi
cago and Cleveland district attorneys
and other witnesses as supporting
his contention that the dry law is
being enforced.
Investigation Is Urged.
Holding the opposite viewpoint.
the vets asserted that "the mischief
that the prohibition law is doing in
this country, as revealed in this
hearing. and its far-reaching de
structive effects upon society and
government. make it imperative
that the Senate of the United States
inquire into the origin. history and
activity of the small group of men
who have brought these frIghtful
conditions upon the Republic
They particularly desired to have
Mr. Wheeler cross examined as to
contributions received by the Anti
Saloon League from Elbert II. Gary,
John d. Rockefeller, jr., and other in
dustrial leaders. Questioning of these
men and 1.-The members of Congress

significance of the strange phenome-
non that. after the alliance of the
Anti.Saloon League and big business

smoke screen over prohibition. anti
trust prosecutions suddenly ceased"
Denies Crime Blame.
Insisting that the crime wave in this
country was not due to prohibition.
but that the law had produced pros
perity, Mr.. Wheeler reiterated his
charge that the vets had brought
ABOUT the Sendte nearing SOIeIH as a
propaganda medium. The remedy for
violations of the prohibition act. he
argued. lay in strengthening the eX-
listing laws and the appointment of
virile honest and active men" to en-
forcement posts. The Nation. he held,
was in no mood to permit criminals
and lawbreakers to revise its Consti-
tuition and repeal it's laws"
Six bills recommended by Gen. An
drews form the basis of the revised
Goff measure, with the vigorously
controverted provision in one of them
for search of dwellings on suspicion

We are pledged to see the end of this

I'VE deplore the apathy of all too

LOYALTY to the Constitution of the

Urges Inspiration in Colleges.


"Realizing the strategic importance
of our colleges and universities, we
urge our prohibition organizations TO
give more earnest attention to the in
spira ton and the information of these
Youths, from whom the majority OF
our leaders in all walks of life must be
recruited.
1--WE extend our thanks that large
ma iority of our representatives in the
Senate and in the House of Repre-

have properly appraised the values OF
prohibition and the real sentiment ot
the people. and, accordingly, nave
steadily refused to allow any modlhCa'

Denounce Straw Votes.
The bishops called the propaganda
of the vets astounding and declared
that straw votes on proposals tC
modify the prohibition laws to have
been false and misleading. Actual
votes cast in recent primaries have
told the real story of the sentiment
of the country on prohibition, they
said.
Bishop William f. Mcdowell oil
Washington paid a tribute to the press
for the fairness demonstrated in its
report of the proceedings before the
Senate committee which conducted th<
liquor hearings. The hearings. he
said. gave the drys their first oppor
tunity to tell their side of the question
on an equality with the vets.
Bishop Mcdowell asserted that the
vets instituted the Senate hearings
on prohibition in an attempt to con
vince the "weak-kneed members Of
the church that prohibition was not
and could not be made effective.

Commissioner Haynes told the board
that this is no time to temporiZe. The

HIITCHESnN TAKES
CHARTER FROM
! N. Y. LOCAL 376
Rosen, Progressive Can
didate, Is Member
Especial to The Daily Worker)

NEW YORK, June 25. - The char
ter of Local S76, Carpenters Union,
has been revoked by President Hutch
eson.
Morris Rosen, business agent Of Lo-
cal 376, was the candidate for Presi-
dent on the progressive ticket against
Hutcheson in the last general election.
Following the election Local 376 was
placed on trial by the general execu-
tive board, and the local was notified
that the progressive program, upon
which Rosen ran as candidate, was
unconstitutional.
The Progressive Program.
The program was a very mild one.
It called for more job control, curtail-
ment of the right Of the employers to
Unfortunately discharge the work
ers, it proposed that all agreements
be ratified by the rank and file, it
demanded the right of minority ex-
preston within the union and other
trade measures that would aid in
strengthening the union. This the
G. E. B. declared unconstitutional and
notified Local S76 that they must
cease from propagating such pro-
gram, or their charter would be re-
voked.
This the local refused to do.
Wholesale Expulsions.
In the meantime Hutcheson expelled
Bud Reynolds of Detroit because he
militantly supported Rosen. The locals
in Detroit refused to recognize the ex-
pulsion with the result that the dis
trict council was broken up and two
of the largest locals had their charters
revoked.
In Chicago, five members were ex-
PEELED because they too were guilty
of supporting the program of the pro-
gressives. In Philadelphia Hutcheson
expelled Burgess, the campaign man
ager of Brown, another candidate for
president against Hutcheson. Burgess
was not expelled because he was
Browns campaign manager, but be-
cause he refused to follow Browns
lead and remain silent on the election
frauds. In Los Angeles sixteen mem
bers we're expelled on the Same charge,
namely, being progressives and
against the Hutchinson administration.
Expulsions and revocation of char
tiers is the answer of Hutcheson to any
member, or local that dares to raise
their heads above the political level
Of the Hutcheson administration.

Pittsburgh Police Chief
Did His Duty in Aid Of
Steel and Coal Barons
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

DETER PAUL WALSH, superin-
4 tendent of the Pittsburgh, Pa,
police department, is little kaiser
in the capital city of steel, the Office
boy of the great anti-labor industrial
interests.
Walsh uses every possible tech
nicality Of the law to interfere with
the activities of the workers. Where
technicalities are lacking, he goes
ahead and does as he pleases just
the same.
On International May Day, May
1st., he closed the doors of Carnegie
Music Hall against the workers &C.
LIBERATION of their holiday and ar
rested the speakers. When sub
poenaed to appear in court to ex-
plain the reason and basis for the
arrests, Kaiser" Walsh remained
discreetly away. The court refused
to take notice Of his absence.
Walsh is now lin Washington ap-
pearing before the senate committee
investigating expenditures in the
recent primary election.
Highly excited senator's question
him in great detail as to his activity
in behalf of the Pepper-Fisher ticket,
in support of which nearly $4,000, 900
was spent with the hope also Of
maintaining control for the Mellon
interests over the republican party
machine in this important state.
When the Communists arrested at
the Pittsburgh May Day meeting APP
peared in court the Judge gave them
long lecture. The burden of the
talk was that meetings should not
be held in defiance of law to protest
against statutes held to be Cypress
i've. The judge declared that efforts
should be made only to repeal Of
fensive laws thru the election of
the right kind of candidates at the
next election. But in the May Day
case he refused to even point out
what law had been violated.
Superintendent of Police Walsh,
however, in his testimony at Wash
ington, showed how the Mellon in
terests try to maintain their politi-
cal and industrial tyranny over the
steel workers and coal miners. They
do not bother about any appeal to
reason. 1t is the rule of the mailed
fist.
While Pittsburgh's mayor was de-
handing that all city employees not
only vote for but energetically join
the campaign to elect the Mellon
Pepper-Fisher candidates or lose
their jobs, Superintendent of Police
Walsh was similarly active in his
department, calling on all the police
captains to demand that their sub
ordinates join in the campaign ito
line up the boys" The letter read
