Liquor Bootleg
Rings Killed BY
OPA Actions

WASHINGTON. GPA)-The
liquor black market is virtually
a thing of the past, as the re-
suit of OPA, Treasury and Army
crack-downs on rings of rack
eteers, OPA administrator Ches-
ter Bowles announced last week.
The liquor stocks replenished
by the recent liquor holiday are
moving through legitimate chan
nels, Bowles announced.
OPA reports that during the
first seven months of 1914 more
than $1,000,000 was paid by
violators in fines and settle
ments. In addition to the Grim
inal prosecutions, OPA has
treble damage cases in excess of
$30,000,000 pending against sell
lers of whiskey.
The severest pena atty was
against the president of a liquor
company who was fined $780,
900 and given 80 days in Jail.
While bootleg rings like those
of the Prohibition era have been
put out of business, Bowles
pointed out in his announcement
that "This doesn't mean that
violations are no longer being
committed. OPA enforcement
officers, according to the agency,
are still devoting considerable
time to problems the illicit
liquor traffic caused.

glove in the two major battles
to elect Roosevelt and Truman
and William c.. Pickrel.
On October 16, Owens told a
reporter for the Cincinnati
Times Star (Taft paper) that
Ohio miners would go down the
line behind Dewey-Bricker- Taft
Stewart slate. 1t is interesting
to note that he made this an
nouncement two days after can
didates Taft and Stewart visited
Cambridge, Owens home town,
Play Up Story
The Times Star played up the
Owens story with the double
column headline: Organizer OF
the CIO in Ohio to Support
COP" in an effort to give the
public the impression that a
prominent CIO leader had
broken with the CIO Political
Action Committee.
The public has perhaps for
gotten that Owens, once presi-
dent of the Ohio CIO Council,
left the CIO with John L. Lewis
in 1941 when Lewis bet his CIO
presidency on the Republicans
and lost.
Owens, like Breidenbach is
only a payroller: Owens of the
Republican chief of the UMWA,
and Breidenbach of the Repub-
lican party itself.
Reports from Owens own dis
trict and other areas of the mine
fields, indicate conclusively that
the rank and file of the miners
are not going to follow Lewis
and Owens into the camp of
Hoover and Dewey, nor are they
going to support Ohio's own Ham
Fish, Senator Robert A. Taft, for
reelection.
Taft Less Confident
Taft, who in all his cam
paigns for the Ohio Senate and
for the United States Senate in
the off-year election of 1888
with a great deal of suavity and
complete confidence in the
power C. his millions to control
the results of the elections, is by
no means so calm and cock-sure
as in former contests.
He cannot defend a Senate
record which bordered upon the
seditious, and shows him to be
saboteur of preparedness and
the war effort, so he is attack

Ohio Labor Unifes
For Political Action

Two weeks ago the Ohio CIO
Council issued a pamphlet on
Taft's record, titled "He Wanted
to do Business with Hitler and
Hirohito"-a fact from the rec
ord which nobody can success
fully defend.
PAC At Taft Rally
On the night of October 18,
the PAC distributed the pamph-
let at the door of Taft Repub-
lican rally in Mansfield. Infu-
rated at the pamphlet, none of
the contents of which he could
deny, Taft henchmen tore up
hundreds of the booklet and
threw them on the floor. Others
in the audience, however, slip
ped copies in their pockets.
Taft lost his head and his
customary poise and instead of
speaking on the issues, spent the
greater part of his Grafton
damning the CIO-PAC.

eligible voters we'll over the
record-breaking 1910 figure.
Early in the campaign only
the Democrats and the political
groups of organized labor were
excited about a heavy registra-
ton and vote, but now Republi-
can campaign managers, facing
up to the accomplished fact, hail
the large turnout as favorable
omen for Dewey. One thing
both Democratic and Republican
publicists admit: the national
election can easily turn on la
boris vote. Several columnistS
have even predicted that the
election may hinge on the vote
in New York State where the
American Labor Party holds the
balance of power.
New York City registration
scared more than 100000 over
the record registration of 1910

welt groups putting on a high
powered registration campaign
that made the old-line Tam
many vote-herders blink in
amazement. Chicago easily sur
passed its 1910 registration total
of 1892, ,487. In Boston, Spring
field, Worcester, New Bedford
and other industrial New Eng
land cities, registrations are ex-
pected to hit new all-time highs.

Ohio Exceeds 1910 Mark

Ohio's total has exceeded its
1910 mark while startling reg

cal experts. The large turnouts

where the workers are predom

City's record registration, they
contend, means an increase il

while the registration in tht

lican, has shown no importan
rise. The same is true in othel
sections of the country, they
add. -.
Even the Chicago Tribune edi
torially advised the Republican
Party that the new crop of vot
ers must be considered pro
Roosevelt and that the service

publican newspapers in the East
could not stomach this Hitler
like appeal. No more creditable
is the virulent harping on the
alleged frailty of the Presidents
health by the Chicago Tribune,
N. Y. Daily News and Washing
ton Times-Herald. The editorial
barrage of these three anti-labor
papers attempts to convince the
public that the chances of FDR's
living through a 4th term are
very small indeed. Judging by
the public opinion polls, the
public has not been convinced.
The Fortune Magazine poll,

Gallup, gave Dewey 44% of the
vote in the pivotal state of Penn

Shoe Stocks Low

WASHINGTON, OPA), Oct.
21-The stock of shoes in the
nations warehouse has reached
a new low point, OPA and WPB
announced Oct. 20. This means
that there is little prospect of
the lifting of shoe rationing for
long time, the agencies said.
Greatest depletion of stocks
was in infants rationed-type
shoes, for which there has been
an especially heavy demand this
year. WPB agencies report that
they are working to increase
the production of these shoes.
