MELLON SEES ADVANCE
IN DRY ENFORCEMENT
BY ANDREW w. MELLON
Secretary Of the Treasury.

Washington, Dec. % The year 1925
has witnessed a considerable advance ia
the effectiveness Of prohibition enforce
ment While it is useless to attempt to
propkesy what may be accomplished in
the future, it is believed that 2 marked
advance will be made during the next
twelve m0rths.
Enforcement of the prohibition law is
perhaps the most gigantic peacetime un-
d~ertaking ever ordered by Congress. We
are striving to do the best we can.
Enlarged appropriations are being ask
ed Of Congress to still further tighten the
enforcement machinery.
The Treasury Department and IFS va
r;ous bureaus are CO operating to the full
est extent with the Department of Just
ice and State municipal agencies to carry
out its law enforcement duty.
Vigorous action is being taken to make
the law enforcement agencies as effective
as possible.
On April l, 1925, by a reaIlocation of
duties, there was placed under one as
sistant secretary the supervision of the
coast guard, the customs service and the
prohibition and narcotic unit, all OF which
are more or less directly concerned with
the enforcement Of the national prohihi.
ton law, particularly as regards the
smuggling of liquor.
This has enabled the department to in
augurate a degree of cooperation be-
tween these three services which has
materially increased their effectiveness.
While there can be no accurate measure
of the results accomplished, it is evident
that a marked reduction has been made
in smuggling. particularly on the North
Atlantic seaboard where these violations
were m~ost'aagrant. Boston American

been concentrated upon the google
without due consideration for the con-
dition of the eye.
"A majority of workmen have de-
fects of vision of more or less severe
degree With defect of vision exist
ing, unrecognized by the workman but
handicapping him to some degree, the
google apparently serves to empha
size the defect. AS result the work
man blames the google.
The prevention of serious eye ac-
cidents is the greatest service that
can be rendered industrial workers,
for by such service are eliminated not
only pain, suffering, loss of time and
expense, but permanent disability,
unhappiness and decreased earning
power. To render such service effec-
lively, the cooperation of the man.

Preventive Measures Formulated
Preventive measures are being
formulated by many of the larger in
dustries, according to Mr. Hannum,
who said that management must be
convinced that the elimination of eye
accidents is an economic as we'll as a
humanitarian proposition"

EDUCATED CLASSES
FLAYED AS MENACE

New ork-The menace of ignor.
ance has been stressed too far, said
Judge Frederick E. Crane, of the
court of appeals, speaking at dinner
in his honor. The jurist issued a
warning that the chief danger to our
democracy lies not in the ignorance
of some people, but in the indiffer-
ence of those of education and intel
ligence. The apathy of lawyers was
included in the indictment.
Liberty, he said, is the power to
use intelligence.
"We lack the will to do. We read,
write essays, make speaches, deliver
opinions; but when it comes to prac-
tical politics, of doing that which the
constitution says we must do, if we
actually love it-get out and elect
somebody to office or see that the
right man is put on the bench-we
hesitate; we hate to mix; we dislike
the rough and tumble of public life
and we leave it to others.
MY whole point is that those Of us
who talk about the value of our con-
stitutional form of government should
set the example of making it work y

PROSPERITY
OF Present Will Continue,
Thinks Printers Union
President

indianapolis, Ind.-Checking busi-
ness activity from reports from all
sections of the jurisdiction of the IN
ternational Typographical Union,
James M. Lynch, international presi-
dent, in statement, says the print
ing trade escaped the business slump
usually anticipated after period of
exceptional activity.
"The old cycle of business boom,
slump and recovery seems to be a
thing of the past" said the state
ment. Prosperity is making long
visit to America and barring some
unforeseen development, we are going
to enjoy a fourishing business for
many months"
President Lynch explained that
many conditions had contributed to
this situation, but the continuation of
high wages had much to do with the
present prosperity. '.Well-paid work
ing people," he said, shave provided
an unfailing market for goods pro-
duced" He declared that if employ
ment in all lines could be more fully
stabilized the country would be well
insured against business fluctuations.
President Lynch directed attention
to zone bad sign" in present condi
tions, and that is the dual character
of the dollar value" He said the
country had two kinds of dollars
one, the "cost-of- living dollar" which
the working man earns and spends,
and the other the wholesale dollar"
which is spent for raw and partly
manufactured materials. The work
ing mans dollar is worth at present
562 cents and the wholesale dollar
I'd cents The spread between the
two, Mr.. Lynch says, shows that the
public, as usual, is being exploited.
1t was this situation, he says, that
the American Federation of Labor
had in mind at Atlantic City when it
adopted it's new wage policy-provd-
ing that the workers real wages, the
purchasing power of his wages should
be advanced in proportion to his in
creasing powers of production.

Syracuse, N. Y.-To end the eye
tragedies in the nations factories,
represented by a total of 250,O00
injuries yearly, organized effort by
the industries to shield the vision of
workers was urged in the annual safe
ty lecture delivered before the Syra-
cuse Safety Council by Joshua Eyre
Hannum, of New York, research en-.
gineer of the Eyesight Conservation
Council of America.
The first big step is to gain the
confidence of employees, whose reluc-
tance to utilize safety appliances is
a big problem, declared Mr.. Hannum,
addressing foremen, plant executives,
workmen and safety experts.
Reports on Survey
Reporting the results of nation
wide survey recently completed by
the council, he pointed out that of
fiOofl lnduStrlai accidents occurring
in II states in a single fiscal year,
S.3 per cent injured the eyes.
The proportion of all accidents in
fiicting eye injuries was found to be
II per cent, while 1916 per cent of all
permanently disabling accidents in
yolve the eye.
There is a natural objection to eye
protection or goggles on account of
Inconvenience and discomfort" Mr..
Hannum continued, "but sufficient at
tention has not been given to the de-
tails of comfortable adjustment and
proper fitting of the google to the
face of the individual workman.

ing jury in Carbon county was gone.
Then change of venue was given in
the Pagialakis case to the neighbor-

held at Castle Dale. The feeling in
Emery county, which adjoins Carbon
county, was substantially the same as
in Carbon county, and Pagialakis
drew sentence for voluntary man.
slaughter of ten years.
Cases Transferred to Salt Lake
County
Thereafter the cases were trans
ferred to Salt Lake county, where
reason and justice had a firmer hold
and the prosecution thereupon col
lapsed
After defeating all the operators in
Salt Lake county, the remaining VIC
TINS were admitted to bail in ridicu-
lously small amounts. Men charged
with first degree murder were releas-
ed on a bond of one thousand to fif-
teen hundred dollars. The prosecu-
tion realized that the operators
cause was bound to fail in future
trials in Salt Lake county and stipu-
lated that no more trials would be
held until the supreme court passed
upon appeals. Appeals were techn-
cally of such character that the su-
preme court felt in duty bound to
confirm the convictions despite the
fact that in the case of Pagialakis
the attorney general of the state of
Utah agreed with the contents of the
brief of the defense Thereupon it
was decided that further appeals were
useless and that the only hope of OBJ
tanning justice for the convicted men
lay through the avenue of whatever
mercy the board of pardons might see
fit to extend.
Moves We're made looking to the
dismissal of the eight untried cases
and after a number of preliminaries
were successfully met, the eight un-
tried cases were dismissed by action
of Deputy Attorney Farr, November
l9, 1925. The following month (De-
cember) an appeal was made to the
board of pardons for clemency for
Pete Kukis. The board gave the mat
ter some consideration, but because
of some opposition within the board,
deferred action until March 20, when
his parole was granted.
Three More Freed March 20
Next came the case of Pagialakis,
Krairis and Kambourakis. These men
were out on bond but surrendered
themselves to the prison authorities
in order that their case might legally
come before the board of pardons
February 20. The board still felt dis
inclined to take favorable action and
continued their cases until March 90,
when they were released.
The final chapter is yet to be writ
ten, but it has to do merely with legal
formalities incident to a complete par
don, and with more enlightened and
considerate officialdom now holding
the reins Of power, it is thought the
result can not be otherwise than
favorable.

NON-VOTING STOCK

Washington.-The issuance of non

Virginia railway to issue $15O,0O0 of

This paper is bought by the public

ward University, recently attacked
this system, which permits "insiders"
to issue small block of voting stock

stock to the general public. The "in-

Bolshevists Make No Headway
In Building Trades Unions,
Chester M. Wright Declares

By international Labor News Service.
Washington, D. C. American
building trades unions probably are
more nearly free from the influence
of bolshevism and destructive philos-
ophy than any other section of the
labor movement" writes Chester NJ.
Wright, editor of International Labor
News Service, in the April issue of
the Miller Builder Economist, pub
lished by G. L.. Miller & c..
Splendid discipline within the ranks
and high wages are credited by Mr..
Wright with being the main reasons
for the building trades unanimity in
rejecting communistic propaganda
and "boring from within" Mr.
Wright's article follows:
american building trade unions
probably are more nearly free from
the influence of bolshevism and its
destructive philosophy than any other
section of the labor movement.
This is important to all who are
concerned with the future well being
of thee building industry, including
those who are the final users of build
ings as owners or renters.
No Place for Reds
"'The president of the building
trades department of the American
Federation of Labor, reporting to the
annual convention in 1924, discussed
the work of the communist agitators
in America and declared, There is no
place in our movement for these dis
turbers these self-appointed
apostles who carry the torch of hate.
"While there have been sporadic
local outbreaks of communist propa-
ganda in building trades unions, these
have been perhaps fewer than in any
other direction in the labor movement
1.-TWO main reasons contribute to
the freedom of the building trades
from the propaganda which has so
sorely plagued the Ladies' Garment
Workers, the Machinists and even the
United Mine Workers. These are:
"First-A splendid discipline with
in the ranks, self-imposed, we'll un-
derstood and carefully observed.
"Second-A wage rate higher than
in most other trades, with working
conditions constantly undergoing i'm
provement and with both wages and
conditions fixed through joint agree
ment following negotiation.
Il have been fortunate in having
been able to observe the rise and de-
cline of communist propaganda in
the United States and it is clear that
the building trades have shown a
sterner resistance than any other
large section of the organized labor
movement-and undoubtedly for the
reasons given.
Building Workers Intelligent
"The intelligence level, too, runs
