Henderson went out to help him

DETROIT, Mich, March 10.-On
March First the Detroit Free Press
and the rest of the capitalist press
announced: Auto Workers Rush to
Fill Big Orders"
But on March 2 notice was posted
on all the time clocks at the Graham
Paige Motors that from that date I'M
til further notice the plate work from
8 a. m. instead of 7, and on that day
we were all sent home at 3 80 p. m.
instead of 4:30. On March 3 they
started a stagger system, one gang
to work one week and another to
work the next week. This will give
the average worker in this. plant
about $44 a month to starve on. I
think it is time we joined the Auto

CANADIAN RUM BOAT CAPTAIN KILLED
Warning Shots Fleeing is Stopped by
That Demolished Cabin

According to press dispatches carrying
dateline of January 25, a one-pound she'll
fired from a Coast Guard gun shattered
the pilot house of the liquor-laden Cana
dian schooner, Josephine K, the night OF
January "a. killing her captain, William
p. Cluett, of Nuremberg, N. S.
The schooner was then captured and
100000 worth of liquor and her crew of
fifteen were seized The Coast Guard also
took charge of the garbage scow, Brook
Ign, and the tug, DauntleSs No. 6, which
were alongside the Canadian vessel when
the Coast Guardsmen appeared.
The liquor was in the course Of being
transferred from the Canadian schooner
to the Brooklyn when the operations were
interrupted by the arrival of the Coast
Guard cutter las.
The Josephine K Immediately made an
attempt to escape, putting to sea at her
top speed of about fourteen knots per
hour Notwithstanding the fact that the
best speed Of the government boat is only
about twelve knots, the las took up the
chase, firing the customary three rounds
of blanks. Four or five rounds Of solid shot
were then fired across the bow of the rum
boat These warnings failing, a shot was
directed at the pilot house of the fleeing
ship. 1t wounded the captain, Cluett, who
died shortly afterwards in Marine Hos
pital, Staten Island.
After Cluett had been hit the Josephine
K hove to and her cargo OF 500 cases of
liquor were seized Cluett and four others
were made prisoners
The barge and tug were then seized
netting eleven prisoners and 900 cases of
liquor.

Scarcely can we avoid weakening opera

Just now the cause of prohibition needs
all of its friends Not that it is in real
danger so much as that its enemies are
trying by every possible means to create
an antithetical psychology in the hope of
its overthrow. No friend of prohibition
should allow his position to be misunder-
stood or to give forth careless utteranceS
which may be used against it. The most
subtle arguments of a knd not used before
are being employed by the vets. Their
plea is that in the interest of the morals
of youth, the honesty of our nation, the
elimination of graft and official corrup-
ton. the prevention Of killings by enforce
ment officers and poisoned liquor, the
rights of individuals, and for other benev-
olent (?) reasons, prohibition should be
modified They plead repeal for the sake
of moral welfare. There is not little
moral confusion produced by design and
increased by studied propaganda.
In the midst of this skillful maneuver-
ing of the vets some of our religious con-
temporaries are raising questions in the
mind of church readers as to the attitude
of President Hoover, the possible obsolete
function of the AntiSaloon League and
the appropriateness OF the activities of the

Assistant Secretary Castle of the state

investigation no protest was made.
LoWman said that it was "regrettable
that the captain lost his life but the
fatality was simply an incident to the
transaction" He expressed confidence the
Coast Guard did not fire with the inten-
ton of taking life but to prevent the
rum-runner escaping"
The Josephine K was well within the
twelve mile limit, he said and was max

approximately the same number of quarts

100000 litres of French brew were con-

The moonshiners are in operation

more than a million Illicit stills have been

GREAT BRITAIN-An Investigation is
being conducted by the World Prohibition
Federation concerning the drinking Of alb
sinthe in Great Britain. The results have
been most disquieting. Absinthe is ap-
parently available as never before and
there seems to be a very definite attempt
to push its sale The inquiry is proceeding
further and the federation is collecting
valuable information which will be given
to the public in due time.
The International Record, the official
publication of the World Prohibition Fed
Grafton, states that this drink is now
openly sold in Great Britain in hotels eat
ing houses and clubs. Nearly all Of the
leading stores and wine merchants have it
for sale by the bottle That it can be OBJ
tanned in university and other centers is a
fact despite the denial of this by the press.
