Dry Law May Be Repealed
If Latest Claim Made
By Public Opinion
(By Associated Press)
W ASHINGTON, Feb. 3.—It is the
observation of Prohibition Commis
sioner Haynes that public opinion,
expressing itself through various
channels ranging from great indus
trial corporations to the theatre, is
making easier the enforcement of the
prohibition law. The addition of the
name of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company to those of other concerns
which have forbidden their employes
the use of intoxicants, has just been
recorded at enforcement headquar
ters. Scores, of employers, Director
Haynes says, have posted notices in
their establishments that users of
liquors will be automatically dismiss
ed.
The Colorado company gave to each
of its workers this notice: “This com
pany is going to get along in the fu
turc without the services of boot
leggers and their customers. We
class as bootleggers all those who
manufacture, sell or distribute intox
icants either personally or through
agents or members of their families.
Such persons will be discharged on
evidence satisfactory to the man
agement without waiting for convic
tion in the courts.”
The management held that a minor
under the influence of liquor was a
dangerous element because ol f'ne
many chances for disaster under
ground through carelessness.
An even more drastic rule was re
cently laid down by Henry Ford and
numbers of hotels and restaurants
have acted 1o banish liquors from
their premises. One hotel, Mr.
| Haynes says, forced its employes 1o
sign a pledge to not sell liquor and
as an added precaution employed de
teclives to search the witters when
they appeared for duty.
t'Ci .e iiu aties have bao.’ci jokes
on i lohibition from their ota^es and
one insurance company is asking ap
plicanis whether they drimi bootleg
liquor. Mr. Haynes declares. A west
ern city advised its employes that
use cf 'ieuor would result in dismis
sal, and caused each worker to give
his signature as evidence that he had
been warned.
Intemperance was never wise, eco
nomical or safe, in the opinion 01 Pi
1 rector Haynes, but it is infinitely less
so now than ever. “Amid the pow
erful inventions and hurried life of
today sound bodies, steady nerves and
sober judgment are indispensable to
life. This fact is recognized every
| where.’’

Twenty-five below zero does not
stop zealous prohibition officers from
venturing out and helping a daring
bootlegger bring his 50 gallon bun
dle of mule into town and up to the
Marshal’s office. Claude Shea was the
arresting officer. The raid took place
on the outskirts of Anchorage.
Astonishing assertion by a council
man in a nearby town: (before the
mayor)—It is time the moonleggers
and bootshiners are being corraled.
