vestigation of Enforcement by
Friends Of Prohibition.

BY the Associated Press.
The proposal by Senator Jones of
Washington for an investigation Of pro-
hibition enforcement by friends of the
dry cause was Endorsed in a statement
last night by DR.. Earnest H. CHEERING
ton, general secretary of the World
League Against Alcoholism, who de-
clared the suggestion had tremendous
possibilities for good"
Meanwhile, the question of prohibi-
ton was revived in Washington from
several sources during the day, one
being in the Senate, where an amend
ment was offered by Walter E. Edge of
New Jersey to the Jones resolution to
provide that the proposed inquiry be
conducted by citizens committee to be
appointed by Herbert Hoover after his
Inauguration. Edges proposal, like that
of Jones. was referred to committee for
consideration.
Aside from these developments the
National United Committee for Law
Enforcement announced it's plans to
initiate a 10-week campaign to make
Washington an example and encour-
agement to the cities of the Nation" in
regard to prohibition enforcement. This
group is composed of the executive

1928 CONSTRUCTION
SHOWS EXPANSION
Contracts Increased in Value Al
most z Per Cent, DR.. Klein
States in Review.

Construction operations over the
United States, which declined slightly
in 1927, showed another large expan-
sion during the year just closed, DR..
Julius Klein of the Department of
Commerce states in his review of 1928.
Contracts for new construction in
creased in value by almost per cent,
as larger awards for residences, indus
trial buildings. public works and utili-
ties ard educational buildings more than
offset the decreases in other types of
construction" he reports
These expanding operations resulted
In a larger output of structural steel
brick. cement and many other building
materials. Lumber cut, on the other
hand, decreased for the third successive
year.
The iron and steel industry reflected
to marked degree the stimulus of in
creased demands from building con-
tractors, automobile factories and man
ufacturers of many types of machinery.
Prices showed a moderate advance,
and output of crude steel, sheets. struc-
tural shapes and many types of finished
products we're increased substantially.
Untitled steel orders were higher in
every month than in the corresponding
period year ago."
