ASSA|LED BY DORAN
DepIores Act of Leaders Who
Drink Themselves After
Checking Employees.
BY the Associated Press.


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, September rs.
DIR. James M. Doran, Federal COM
missioner of prohibition, today attacked
as inconsistent" business leaders who
regard liquor drinking an evil for their
employees, but who feel the law should
not interfere with their own drinking.
In an address prepared for delivery
before the fifty-fifth annual ccnven-
ton here of the National Voman's
Christian Temperance Union, DR.. Doran
said it was encouraging to note that
among those prominent in business
there is growing conviction that they
have individual responsibility as lead
ers and the laws should be re-
spected and observed in good faith" by
all alike.
Policy Is Sound.
"It is nv conviction, and that con-
viction is based on all the data that
can assemble, that our national pro-
hibition policy is sound and Will be
maintained"
He said he knew of no economist
who, having studied the problem, did
not believe the Governments policy has
brought tremendous economic ad-
vance" He likewise stated he recalled
no prominent social worker who had
failed to note the benefit prohibition
had brought lin the social lives of the
people and who has not also noted the
good accomplished by the prohibition
laws is in direct proportion to the de-
gree of enforcement and observance in
the particular community"
oV1ff,r0pV10pnt
officer complimented the w. C. T. U. for
its effort to make known the good that
arises from voluntary obedience to laws"
resulting from "crystallized opinion OF
the majority of our people"
THE good accomplished" DR.. Doran
asserted in admitting that errors are
made in administering the work of the
Prohibition Bureau. far outwetghs any
minor human errors and mistakes"
which. he said, were inevitable occa-
sionally.
Expects Oisagreements.
Stating that dfsagreements as to
methods and procedure always would
arise, he said advances in prohibition
law enforcement must be made by peo-
pie who are friendly to the law and
lively with the details of its admins
tration"
The obligation of State and Federal
governments Is equally ..inding." DR.
Doran said. 1.-The Federal Government
must give its attention to major mat
tiers of the character germane to the
operation Of the central Government
machinery" he explained, land the
States must more and more take care
Of the localized Violations
DIR. F. Scott Mcbride, general super
intendent of the Anti-Saloon League of
America, was the final speaker on the
afternoon program.
Final adjournment will come at the
close of banquet tonight, when in
vitations for next years. convention will

at the beginning Of the special session
time did not pass over what he regards
as the border line between legislative
and executive functions.
The issue was before the Senate in
debate on motion by Chairman Smoot
of the finance committee, in charge of
the bill, proposing amendments to the
section embodying the provision which,
among other changes, would. make the
difference in production costs here and
abroad the basis for alterations in duties
rather than differences in competitive
conditions in American markets as pro-
posed by the House.
His motion was given priority after
Senator Simmons of North Carolina,
Democratic leader in the tariff contest,
had proposed a substitute amendment
to eliminate the flexible provision from
the bill.
Sm0ot Backs President.
Shoots argument for retention of the
flexible principle followed the same gen.
eral lines as those set forth in the
Presidents statement. He commended it

this country that the producer, whether
ne be an agriculturist, manufacturer
or laborer, will insist upon its preser-
VaClon.
And 1t is eminently fair to the con-
sumer." he said.
Simmons questioned the necessity for
a flexible tariff, saying it had not been
utilized to any considerable extent, that
the Tariff Commission had not acted
on several hundred applications for
rate changes "for the simple reason
that they found the rates in the law
exceeded differences in production
COSTS" and that 1.-The tariff barons do
not divide with their employees"
The Senate yesterday took two steps
designed to stop American industries
establishing plants abroad from taking
advantage of the cheaper foreign labor
and shipping the goods thus manu-
featured back to compete in domestic
markets.
BY vote of IS to 81 it adopted an
amendment to prohibit the importation
Of goods manufactured in foreign coun-
tries under trade mark owned by an
American citizen. and then, without
record vote, 1t approved a similar pro-
posal to bar entry of such imported
articles on which American patents are
held.

PARKWAY TENANTS
LOSE COURT FIGHT.
Appeals Denied in Effort to
Retain Apartments in De-
funct Enterprise.

Tenants who purchased residences in
the Parkway Apartments, Connecticut
avenue and Macomb street, which failed
last Spring as cooperative ownership
project and subsequently was sold at
auction, finally lost the legal battle
waged for seven months to retain pos
session of their apartment homes it was
learned today.
The District Court of Appeals has de-
MED petitions to allow writs of error on
decision in Municipal Court by Judge
George c. Aukam, who ruled in favor of
the present owner of the property,
AZreal FUR. Custer proceedings against
number of tenants of the building
were filed in November by Mr.. Fur,
who claimed they had failed to carry
out contract signed last July agreeing
to vacate the apartments at the expira-
ton of four months, for which the
owner waived rer1.
Gerald M. Johnson, who applied for
writS of error in the case of nine tenants
still in the building, was informed today
of the decision of the Court of Appeals
declining to review the cases, which
leaves the tenants subject to eviction.
He stated this morning, however, that
while the tenants now face eviction, he
planned TO take action to recover sums
lost by purchasers of apartments in the
transaction, which recently was investi-
gated by members of the Gibson sub
committee of the House
Mr.. Fur was represented In the cases
by Roger j. Whiteford and Karl Kindle-
berger. Mr.. FUR purchased the prop
erty in the Fall from Eugene A. Smith,
Inc, which company had acquired the
property from holders of the second
trust on the apartments, who bought
the building at the foreclosure SALE
No reason was assigned for the re-
fusal of the Court of Appeals to allow
writs of error to come before the appel
late court.
