MEDICINAL LIQUOR
PLAN ABANDONED
LoWman Holds Manufacture
Not to Be Resumed as
Supply Is Ample.

The proposal to resume manufac
ture of medicinal liquor this Fall has
been definitely abandoned by the
Treasury Department.
Announcement of the change ir
plans was made by Assistant Secre
tary of the Treasury Lowman, wht
said that an amazing decrease in the
Withdrawals of liquor stored for me
dicinal purposes in the bonded ware
houses of the country leaves supplies
sufficient for seven or eight years.
The decision to drop all plans fol
making new medicinal liquor thi:
year was reached, the Assistant Secre
tary in Charge of Prohibition Enforce

over carefully and surveyed from al
angles.
10000, 900 Gallons on Hand.
Although there is no recent gauge
Of the exact amount of medicinal
whisky on hand. it was estimated
roughly at the Treasury today that
there may be around 30,000,000 gal
Ions. This figure was arrived al
roughly from reckoning of former
reports showing that on June 80
1926, there was a theoretical supply
OF 32,2SS,039 gallons on hand, and
there was withdrawn for the year
ending at the same date l 1,8S9.338 gal
Ions.
The Withdrawals during the fiscal
year ending Juna 80. 1927, are known
to have been somewhat less than the
Withdrawals for the previous year.
But the figures are all based on a
gauge of several years ago and the re-
corded Withdrawals since that time.
An indeterminate loss, however, is due
to evaporation and illicit Withdrawals
on which an adequate and detailed
check has not been made for several
years. This brings the estimate on
whisky in bonded warehouses roughly
around 30,000,000 gallons.

Strikers Quit as

ARNORED CARS
READY FOR USE
Thousands Strike i'm
Other Cities as
Protest.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 9-One
thousand patrolmen were posted at
Union Square today and smaller de-
tachments were placed at some sc
halls throughout the city to preserve
order during what, its leaders said
would be the biggest strike in the
history of New York called for one
day in protest against the impend-
ing execution of Sacco and Vanzetti.
The strike. which Sacco-Vanzctti
sympathizers said would bring out
between 100000 and 10000 persons,
began in orderly manner. The work
ers LETT their places OF employment
quietly and proceeded without dis
turbance to various meeting places.
Edward Levinson. secretary of the
strike committee, asserted shortly be-
fore noon that 145 900 workers had
walked out this morning. He based
his assertion on reports he had re-
ceived from officials of local unions.
Levinson said he was informed that
5000 members of the Pocketbook
Makers Union had joined the strike.
$4,000 clothing workers, 10000 cap
makers, $4,000 Jewish workers on the
East Side, and $4,000 cloak makers.
Mostly Garment Workers.
Strike leaders estimated that the
walkout involved IS TO so per cent
of the workers in the garment dis
trict, who number about 100000. In
the fur district no walkout was evil
dent up to shortly before noon, and
shop heads were positive that there
would be none.
Police expressed the'belief that there
would be no disturbance in connection
with the sympathy strike, but every
precautionary measure was taken. Be-
sides the assignment of extra police at
the meeting places, armored motor cy-
cles were held in readiness and special
automobiles carrying tear bombs were
prepared for immediate use in case Of
emergency.
Identical resolutions addressed to
Gov. Fuller of Massachusetts were
adopted at all the meeting places of
the sympathy strikers 'energetically
protesting" against his decision in the
Sacco-VanZetti case, which was de-
scribed as IAN offense to the con.
science Of mankind"
Judge Thayer Denounced.
"Your decision will lead many re.
spectful and law-ahiding citizens" the
resolutions read, ito look upon the
justice of Massachusetts as a tragical
farce. We appeal to you to reverse
your cruel decision and to grant them
new trial.

notified of it by the judge.
The complete text of Judge Thayer's

tence and stay of execution is hereby
denied. To the denial of this motion.

The text Of the decision was made
known before the official COPY reached
the courthouse here. Judge Thayer
was at his home, in Worcester, and
word received from there was that he
would add nothing to the brief ruling.
Lawyers explained, however, that
by the second sentence of his decision

defense counsel for an appeal to the
Massachusetts Supreme Court, this
sentence preserving for the condemned
men any right to take exceptions that

Wales and Premier Pass Unknown
At Village Decorated for Reception

Prince Of Wales and Mr.. Baldwin the
ones for whom they had been waiting,
Perhaps it was the clothes the visi
tors wore which caused the confusion
Both the prince and the premier were
wearing light flannel suits. and White
River was looking for something more
regal. Possibly the informality of the
manner of the prince and the premier
had something to do with it, for there
was nothing of the ceremonial.
Moreover, Mr.. Baldwin's staff was
giving an energetic display Of medi
cine ball down the platform. White
River had never heard that medicine
ball and royalty went together.
So the prince and his party steamed
on their way, unrecognized by the gen
eraI public OF White River. II was

FEDERAL FARM AID F..
PLAN HOPE GROWS.
Presidents Decision Not to
Seek Reelection Will En-
hance Prospects.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

President Coolidge's decision not to
run for President next year has ma
terially enhanced the prospects of
farm relief legislation at the coming
session of Congress, it is said here.
The President has been the out
standing foe of the McNary-Haugen
farm relief bill. 1t is no secret that
some of the supporters of that meas.
IRE were more anxious to crack the
President over the knuckles than they
were to set up the machinery of that
bill. With his withdrawal from the
field as a presidential candidate the
reason for such support of the Nc
Nary-Haugen bill vanishes.
There is room for legislative aid TO
the farmers. President Coolidge has
admitted 1t frankly. and has expressed
his desire to see sound legislation put
through A bill has been prepared
and presented to the President by
Secretary Jardine of the Department
of Agriculture designed to stabilize
prices of farm crops. not to fix"
prices.
Presidents Position.
HG IiSSluSIll Will IOW NC III a po'
sition to throw the weight of his IN
fiuence back of this measure, If he de-
sires, without being accused of play
ing politics. If he is not to run, the
farm vote means nothing to him per-
sonally. The burden of the charge
of playing politics will be on the
shoulders of the McNary Haugenites
if they persist in their efforts to put
through that measure, knowing that
it can only meet a veto at the hands
of the President. The farmers gener-
ally will know that the only thing
which prevents remedial legislation, In
that event, is the insistance of the.
die-hards. on the McNary.Haugen bill
or nothing.
The passage of the Jardine bill. or
some such measure, at the next Ses'
sion of Congress would effectually
take the farm problem out of the
campaign of 1928 as a political issue.
This would not be to the liking of the
supporters of the McNary- Haugen bill,
who really believe in the principles
of that measure, including the equali-
Zation fee. 1t seems certain. there
fore, that If the McNary- -Haugen bill
cannot again command a majority of
the Senate and the House, some ele.
ments in Congress and out will seek
to prevent the passage of other legis-
lation. But they will have a real task
on their hands.
Altitude Of Candidates.
One of the great difficulties, so far
as the farm problem in Congress is
concerned, has been the failure of the
administration to do more than oppose
the McNary-Haugen bill. If now it
goes to the front strongly for farm
bill like that now before the President
for his consideration, the situation
may be greatly changed.
Not all of the Republican presiden-
tial possibilities will rejoice in the pas
sage of farm legislation at the coming
session, however. Former Gov Frank
