Episcopal CIergymen
Condemn Prohibition
Act, Ballot DisclOses

NEW YORK CITY. Aug. 90. -
Episcopal cIergymen who afasweresl
questionnaire on prohibition sent
out by the Church Temperance
society, expressed themselves more
tEan 2 to- for modification OF th3
VoIstead Act. according to q COM
pilation just made public.
OF the 5.sO1 clergymen queried,
$50 were in favor Of modification
and 673 opposed. Many OF the re-
naming 3.239 wrote that they did
not think it profitable" to answer
at this time. Among these were the
Rt Rev. John g, Murray, bishop OF
Baltimore and presiding bishop o.
the church.
Uphold 18th Amendment
On the question whether or not
prohibition was success in their
localities, the cIergyinen voted ! ,3N4
to sol that 1t was not. They voted
against repeating the Eighteenth
amendment, however, 9S4 to 953.
They voted to ] in favor Of more
practical liquor legislation. They
voted 1929 to T58 that prohibition
has been In effect long enough to
have had fair trial.
In a foreword. DIR. James EN-,
pringham. national superintendent
of the society, disclaimed any at;
tempt to speak officially for the
Episcopal Church. BY the .consti-
tuition OF the society adopted in
1879. the presiding bishop of the
church. according to DIR. Empring.
ham. is the president OF the society,
while every bishop Ii an ex-nfficid
vice president.
The questionnaire was composed
by William Jay Schieffelin, presi-
dent Of the Citizens Union and treas.
urer Of the society.
Saloon Now More Dangerous
Commenting on the points most
frequently made in the letters re-
ceived with the ballots, the publica-
ton continues:
MANY agree that the Eighteenth
Amendment has accomplished one
good result in that It has swept away
the saloon. II the Volstead act had
killed the saloon. II would have
earned the gratitude Of all right
thinking people, but prohibition has
merely driven the saloon under
ground where 1t has become more
dangerous than ever. The number
OF speakeasies, blind pigs and sub.er-
ranean joints where liquor is sold to-
day greatly exceeds the number of H.
censed saloons in pre- prohibition
days.
"Others argue that prohibition Is
necessary because intemperance
causes misery and disaster"

FILIPINO LABOREPS DJTNPED
 IN HONOLULU

NEW YORK; wireless dispatch to the New York Times says that 638 Filipino laborers were dumped on the docks at Honolulu, with no prospect of employment and of course no money.
 These men were shipped from Manila by labor agency there, after Governor Burlington of Hq- Waii had protested to Governor Stlmson of the Philippines that there is already a surplus of labor on Hawaiian plantations. The Workless workers were brought on the Norwegian steamer Sandkiven and were 28 days on the trip.
The Alaska fisherman., 1928-10-15

ln the Juneau Empire of October 1st. In it we learn what a won derful detective the government has in Al White, ex-saloon keeper, eX-prohibition agent, ex-student of William J. Burns (now convicted of tampering With juries for a price) and now United States Mar Shal and the meal ticket of all his cousins, auntS, neices, nepheWs and other relatives.
 All of this comes out because Al IS trying to show the public what a wonderful record he has made and hence they should overlook the fact that he allowed Charles Sin clair to escape.
 AS a matter of fact, this escape IS the first in FIFTEEN years. Even George Beaumont (cOnsidered not all there by many had a bet ter record than that. However let Al tell his own story:
 T gave much time and thought to working out this case, trying to apprehend Sinclair and fix the res possibility on those who aided in his escape. My ten years exper- fence in the Department of Jus tioe, including work in large cities such as New York, Chicaoo. San Francisco, Denver and Seattle 7u Q2cd re with knowledge valu- able in solving the case. Graduat- ing under the direction of Willi9n1 J. Burns" and so forth to the end.
 Al White is a very bright man, and yet he cannot spell the name of the First City in Alaska. He is positively illiterate
 RESULT OF WHITES REGIME

these charges several weeks ago, naming the time and the place and told about Browns use of his billy on another customer of the lady, whom Brown was visiting. Does he deny the charge? Not at all. Rather he hunted up the sup posed informant and said "You had no business to tell Paul GlOuis. not William anything about it."
 No, Brown, under the Al White theory, you should be allowed to use these unfortunate women for your own base purposes and while using" her you should not be dis turbed. We suppose the next move ln the regulations wlll be to have the United States Marshal stand ing guard during the reW moments when Brown himself cannot stand at the door with his billy.
 SINCLAIR GIVING AL WHITE
 INTERNATIONAL FAME
 It is costing the United States a lot of money. But in the end JUSTICE will triumph. If it were not~for Charles Sinclair, the pris- oner who escaped from U. s. Mar shal Al White, the said marshal would not now be known to the international authorities of Can ada or Great Britain.
