LARGER DRY ARMY
RESULTS REVEALED
More Cases and Fines Are
Shown for First Month
of BIG Drive.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The first months work by the biggest
Federal dry army in history was re-
ported today by the Prohibition Bureau
to have produced more, bigger and
better cases than did the smaller force
In the corresponding month Of July last
year.
It was disclosed that Federal agents
engineered 6,623 cases in which arrests
were made that 5,0u3 men were or
dered held by commissioners and that
1,139 jail sentences totaling 452 years
were imposed, along with 1,47l fines
aggregating 1921 ,15s.
Prohibition Director Woodcock, how
ever, was chary of placing too much
weight upon the cold figures produced
his his statistical division.
More jail Sentences.
"It's true" he said, that we pro-
dticed more cases this July than last,
but it's q little too early to make definite
comment. The most significant thing
is that q greater number of jail SEN
fences were imposed.
I've like to assume that the cases
were more important and better made,
but we can't tell definitely yet"
The Federal dry chief pointed out
that although greater number OF fines
were imposed this July than last, the
total Of all fines was not as great. In
contrast, however, he indicated the
i,1s9 jail sentences as against the e57
for July, 1890.
Still another favorable factor, he said,
was the fact that only 1854 cases re-
manned on the docket at the end Of the
month. as compared with 23,3o2 at the
same time last year.
some Seizures Lower.
The figures showed the seizure Of
stills during the month tetaled l,723,
as against 1.g22; the seizure OF beer
fermenters, 1859, as against 1889; the
seizure Of so5,619 gallons Of beer and
e9, ala gallons Of liquor against 696,35i
gallons Of beer and l23.524 gallons OF
liquor.
However, q larger number OF per-
manent injunctiens was shown, the fig-
ures being 422 against 3s6, while q
similar increase was indicated in the
seizure of Seo automobiles and boats
against T2T during July, 1880
Smiling slightly the prohibition de
rector told of the seizure Of Ill stills
during the month in Maryland, where
he formerly was United States attorney.
ct appears" he said. that my own
home State Is way ahead Of any other
in the number Of stills 1t offered for
seizure

DOAK MAKES PLEA
FOR COOPERATION
Cites Small Industries as
Example of Personnel
Understanding.

By the Associated Press.
SILVER BAY, N. Y, August IA
A plea for cooperation and under
standing between employer and en-
ploye in these trying times" from
Secretary of Labor w. n. Doak was
read to the Smaller Industries Con-
ference today.
Men and management engaged in
any line of business" the Secretary
said, "are primarily actuateo by the
desire for personal gain. This desire,
however. Ia our enlightened day, must
be modified by the personal respect
which each group owes to the other.
1.-THE returns for service may be
designated as profits or earnings; but
any commercial business must show
satisfactory financial returns II IT is
to exist and advance and otherwise
fiIl its proper place in the industrial
or business field. When eontented and
satisfied workers are allied with fair
dealing end considerable employers the
combination is an unbeatable one"
Secretary Doak emphasized the valtS
Of the intimate personnel relation thai
exists In the small plants, Of which
there are nearly 100000 in the Nation.
From my own observations" he con-
tinued, land through dependable mfor-
nation which steadily reaches me from
accurate sources, I am firmly convinced
that Our most prosperous commercial,
mercantile and manufacturing con-
Germs, during all periods, and especially
during the trying times through which
we are now passing, are those which
maintain q personnel understanding
with their employees, and thus are able
TO avoid the engendering of differences
and disputes, which, when niatured,
would mean the stoppage of work and
possible loss in pay and profits.
''The advantage gained, the economies
enumerated, the patronage secured, the
peace OF mind that preyails-all these
are dollars and cents when harmony,
good will and active Cooperation be-
tween men and management exist as
the result of their moral industrial COM
pact to produce in peace and concert
and to Danish suspicious, fears and
prejudices at the place where their conf
mon interests are SO deeply concerned.

Whether or not the body Of an airman
sighted of the Shetland Islands was
that Of Parker Cramer or his radio OPP
orator, missing since Sunday on a flight
to Copenhagen, was the subject Of spec
ulation today.
The master Of the Norwegian steamer
sjoeglimt, which arrived yesterday, re-
ported that his crew had noticed body
clothed in what appeared to be flying
toys floating west of the island Of Foula
Sunday afternoon. Foula is located
about 20 miles west Of the Shetland
Islands.
Battered by heavy storms, the steam
er had run into the lee of the Shet-
lands when the discovery was made, he
said, but there was no opportunity to
recover the body. The crew was Of
the opinion it might have been Cramer
or Oliver Pacquette, his companion.

The airnen left the Shetlands Sun
day morning ON the final stage OF their
fight across Canada, Greenland and
the North Sea to chart an airnail route
for American aviation interests. Their
radio signals were heard that after
noon, but no trace of them has been
found by rescue expeditions.
Capt. Joefgensen, master OF the snip
said the body was sighted Sunday after .
noon at 4 o'clock 20 or 80 nautical
miles Northwest of the Shetland
Islands. The ship was on southwes:
