the Navy Charles F. Adams. who was
accused attempting to lower wages
through Reconsideration of employees.
Adams Is Criticized.
c. M. Bugniazet, vice president Of
the federation, declared that Secretary
Adams was carrying out the policies Of
outsiders whose interests were opposed
to labor, instead of the policies of Presi-
dent Hoover, who, he said, had declared
for maintenance of q high wage scale.
The matter was brought before the
convention by Joseph Franklin, QreSi-
dent of the Boilermakers' Union.
Roy Horn, general president Of the
International Brotherhood of Black
smiths, Drop Forgers and Helpers, told

W|CKERSHAM BODY
NEARING DECISION
Signs of Definite Proposals
Apparent as Enforcement
Discussions Are Resumed.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Approaching showdown on their
long study Of prohibition, the members
of President Hoover's Law Enforcement
Commission returned here today to re-
sumo their discussions.
Signs that definite propositions
would soon be forthcoming were ap-
parent. Already some Of the special
committees which conducted the fact
finding inquiry into prohibition have
reached some conclusions and are pre-
pared at the proper time to submit pro-
posals to the whole commission.
But Chairman Wickersham has ruled
that the commission seek to work out
its problem with an open mind and in
a spirit of free consultation. Until all
members have had opportunity to dis
cuss their own conclusions there Is lit
tie prospect of disclosure Of the indi-
vidual views.
The first decision confronting the 10
men and woman who have taken
up this investigation, Is whether the
dry law is being enforced, and, If not,
whether it can be enforced. There
have been private limitations from the
commission ranks that negative is
likely as the answer to the first ques-
ton, but there has been no authorita-
tive statement to that effect. Chair
man Wickersham has several times re-
minded the public that no law is per-
fectiy enforced, not even the law
against murder.
TO guide the commissioners are many
new reports and the members returned
to their work today after four-day
breathing spell which was ordered to
permit full study Of these papers.
Consequently, with all of the facts
now digested, the members believed they
were ready to get down to the actual
business of reaching definite conclusions
on prohibition. But it Is generally be-
lieved that the task of getting the IL
minds together on this subject win re-
quire some time.
