PRIVATE PROHIBITION VS.. GOVERNMENT
PROHIBITION

Quoting testimony that private prohibition was
rigidly enforced in all of the dupont plants during
the war, that guards seen taking a drink while off
duty were Immediately discharged and workmen
with the slightest indication of liquor on their breath
were not allowed to work, Professor Fisher in the
book queries Mr.. dupont as follows
"Ngay ask whether the same prohibition rule is
in force in the factories of E. L dupont de NemourS
& Company under your Craftsmanship of it's Board
of Directors? If is it because, you say in your
letter to me- you do not grant this choice of moder-
ate drinking to those whose indulgence is such as to
deprive others of their equally sacred rights?
"If you would prohibit moderate drinking in the
dupont de Nemours plants, would you also prohibit
moderate drinking in all shops where accidents
might occur through the use OF modern high-pow-
cred machinery?
"Would you prohibit moderate drinking by the
drivers of motor cars?
do you agree with Henry Ford in his statement
that in this fastdriying and high powered age even
the moderate Of intoXicantS has no proper place?
COR would you prohibit the use OF lntOMcantS to
the Workingmen Of this country and allow it to their
employers?
"TheSe questions are asked in no spirit of
frendilneSs, but TO elicit your view q responsible
employer of labor and one who has had much to Go
with the placing of millions of motor cars on the
highways Of this country, OF how indulgence in aco
hoc liquors can be made compatible with the sacred
rights OF those whose lives may be endangered by the
man who, as you phrase it in your letter to me- is
willing to submit to ills for the sake of some adj
vantage real fancied, that will result from his
drink q"
ASSENTS TO PROHIBITION BY EMPLOYERS
Mr.. dupont replies:
Il believe there is some confusion in regard to
prohibition by law and prohibition by an employer
If certain work involving danger to life and property
requires absolute sobriety, cannot find fault with
the employer refusing to employ who shows
any sign of contact with alcohol when he reports
for work. and in fact, where the employer may be
held liable for the action of the man employed he
may. if he choose properly decline to employ man
who uses intoXicants at any time.
"This is no different from refusing to employ
man whose sight or hearing is in any way defective
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1928-12-01

The book states that the price of alcoholic bever-
ages has mounted to from treble to sevenfold the
price OF 1885, and that the classes that can afford
to drink them belong mainly to the upper middle
and richest classes with incomes above $4,000 per
standard family of five, constituting only one-fth
of the population of the United States"

MODERATE DRINKING VS. MOTOR CAR
Dl3TNIME.

In a further communication to Mr.. dupont, Irving
Fisher up the dry comment on the attitude Of
the maker of automobiles and high explosives, as
follows:
Speaking with the responsibility of a large en-
ployer and of whose business it is to encourage
the driving of automobiles crowded highways are
you quite you have scientific backing when you
say, to be exact, should think it well to allow
couple of hours to elapSe after taking drink before
driving, lest in of accident should be held
countable for something not my fault?
''These words are quite different from those used
by DR.. Francis c. Benedict, after most exhaustive
tests Of the effects Of alcohol in the Nutrition Labor
atory of the Carnegie Institution Of Washington. DR..
Benedict remarks:
"Infexibe science says: Moderate user keep
off! For at least four hours after dose of alcohol
formerly considered permissible you as a motor
vehicle operator, may well be considered menace
to society,""
when it is pleaded that the greater part of drink
ing must after working hours it must be noted,
Also that the greater part of driving for pleasure
occurs after working hours In view of the fact that
there are between tWenty-three and twenty-four

FLOOD REGIONS
BLOCKING BILL
Question Setting Precedent
of U. S. Rebuilding
Highways.
BY ROSCOE b. FLEMING

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Shall
a precedent be created by which the
Federal Government may be called
upon forever to rebuild local roads
anywhere in the country when
ruined by flood?
This is the question which in
formally has deadIocked the $140,-
100000 agricultural appropriation
bill for three weeks between House
and Senate, and the deadlock shows
no signs of ending.
The Senate, upon motion of Sen
ator Keyes of New Hampshire, voted
$2,654,000 to restore roads in Yer
mont and $653,300 to restore roads
in New Hampshire, damaged by last
years flood.
Senator Barley Of Kentucky
promptly moved to appropriate ST.
389, 1894 for restoration of roads in
Kentucky, also damaged by flood.
This amendment provided, however,
that the State must put up dollar
for dollar, no such provision being
included in the New England ap-
preparations.
Senator Warren, chairman Of the
Appropriations Committee, objected,
however, to an item of $4,000 for
restoration of Florida roads dam
aged in the 1926 hurricane.
The New England items were the
only ones of the four which carried
approval Of the budget bureau and
President Coolidge.
House and Senate leaders have
not yet moved even to appoint con-
ference committees to iron out diff
ferences in the bill. They have been
debating privately in the meantime
as to whether every State which
suffers from floods, including the
Mississippi States, will net ask the
Government to reconstruct their
roads, this year as well as in the
future.

it tends to shut off blood circulation.
