On December 22, 1924, the Anti
Saloon League issued an "Associated
Press dispatch, declaring that the
newly-elected president of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, William
Green, is an active "dry," and in its
official organ, "The American Issue,"
of January 2, 1925, it further de
clared Green's election as president
of the American Federation of Labor
as a victory for the dry forces, and
announced that he is a bone dry and
stands opposed to modification of the
Volstead law.
In the American Issue of January
23rd they again attempt to mislead
the public. This in spite of the fact
that President Green issued a state
ment in Boston on January 18, 1925,
in which he declared in favor of modi
fication of the Volstead lay to permit
the manufacture and sale of beer and
light wine, and further declared thSt
he will carry out the policy of the
American Federation of Labor on this
subject, and that he will do every
thing within his power to bring about
modification.
Thus again the Anti-Saloon
League's tactics to mislead the people
by their malicious and deliberate
falsehoods are exposed./
Owing to many inquiries which
have been made on us by organized
labor and people in many walks of
life, as to the truthfulness of the
statements emanating from the head
quarters of the Anti-Saloon League at
Westerville, Ohio, we were obliged to

The Anti-Saloon League's
Tactics Again Exposed!

communicate with President Green on
the subject, in order to
set at
rest
these fake news items.
As far back as 1919, in the Atlantic
City convention of the American
Federation of Labor, William Green,
then a delegate from the United Mine
Workers, signed the first resolution
adopted by the American Federation
of Labor convention, declaring
against prohibition. He was also an
active delegate from the United
Mine Workers' "organization at the
Denver and Portland conventions,
both of which went on record in no
unmistakable terms for-modification
of the Volstead law to permit the
manufacture and sale of wholesome
beer, and instructing the officers and
executive council to do everything
within their power to assist in blung
ing about modificatioo.
President Green was a member of
the executive council of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor during all
of these years, and in May, 1922, the
executive council issued an appeal to
the electors to support congressmen
and senators who agreed to woi'k and
vote for modification of the Volstead
law in conformity with the expression
of the Denver convention of the
American Federation of Labor held in
1921.
President Green's replies to our in
quiry regarding the press reports and
news articles which appeared in the
"American Issue," the official publi
cation of the Anti-Saloon League, we
believe are of utmost importance, and

herewith quote extracts of his reply
under date of January 7, 1925:
"In your communication you refer
to statements issued by the Associat
ed Press and other special writers in
which they speculate regarding my
attitude toward prohibition, the Anti
Saloon League and the Volstead en
forcement law. These statements to
which you refer, as appearing in the
press reports, were not authorized by
me in any way whatsoever. I am
not responsible nor can I be field re
sponsible for speculative statements
issued by press writers. I have is
sued no statement, either officially
or personally, upon these subjects
nor have I referred to them in any
interview with newspaper men. The
statement to which you call my at
tention as appearing in the Toledo
Blade Bureau issue and the Associat
ed Press that I was associated with
the Anti-Saloon League is entirely
erroneous. I have never been a mem
ber of the Anti-Saloon League, nor
have I been associated with it in any
way whatsoever."
Again, under date of February 25
he writes the following:
"The American Federation of Labor
declared its attitude toward the modi
fication of the Volstead act through
the adoption of Resolution No. 5 at
the Atlantic City convention of the
American Federation of Labor and
the adoption of Resolution No. 69
at the Denver convention. These ex
pressions constitute the official atti
tude of the American Federation of
Labor toward the modification of the
Volstead act.
As President of the American Fed
eration of Labor, it will be my pur
pose, as it is my duty, to make known
the position of the American Federa
tion of Labor upon the question of
modification of the Volstead act, and
to co-operate as fully as possible with
my official associates in carrying into
tVect the declarations of the Ameri
can
Federation of Labor."
The above letters of President
Green brand conclusively as false
hoods the articles and statements is
ued by the Anti-Saloon League
through its official organ and offi
CITS,
who, in this as in the past in
ances, have not hesitated to issue
false statements in their effort to
over up their many misdeeds.
We ask that this information be
given the widest publicity possible
hrough the columns of your journal,
that the people generally may
know the whole truth.
Fraternally yours,
JOSEPH OBERGFELL,
General Secretary-Treasurer
JOHN RADER,

For some time past the Retail
Clerks' Union has been running in
lie Press each week an advertise
ment containing a list of stores not
onducted under union conditions and
whose clerks, if any employed, art
not members of the Retail Clerks'
nion. In the list of names was that
if
the Army and Navy goods store,
ront and High streets. This store
s now at 154 Hig hstreet. The store
now employs only union clerks and
has signed an agreement with the

ires that the public know that the
tore is now fair to its organization.
WANT PRIVATE POLICE
Indianapolis.—Trade unionists de
lare that if the state legislature
passes all the police bills now before
it,
there will be no private citizens.
The senate has authorized the gov

RENT BILL IS DEAD
Washington.—The bill that would
regulate rents in the District of Co
lumbia died with the recent congress.
The measure would place drastic
powers in the hands of a commission.
President Coolidge favored the pro
posal which was intended to check
gouging landlords. Real estate men
throughout the nation flooded the
capital with protests against this un
usual legislation. The landlords now
promise to be "good."

When You Begin a New
Puzzle
Here are a few tips on the solving
of cross word puzzles. Many readers
of the Press already may have discov
ered them.
First, when you start a new puzzle,
read through the definitions until you
reach one which you recognize, and
if you are fairly sure of your guess,
jot down the word in the proper
squares. Most puzzles contain several
words which appear again and again
words such as "emu," "boa," "ai,"
"ra," and several others whose mean
ings are so limited that it makes
variation in definitions impossobile.
Consequently, if you go through the
entire list, you will find quite a few
words at the beginning which will
give you a good start.
Another thing to be careful of is
the proper interpretation of defini
tions. Many words have several
meanings or shades of meanings,
which are likely to give the solver a
wrong impression. Sometimes the
word may be used as either a verb
or a noun, but the definitions, of
course, will give only one meaning.
For instance, think of the many ways
of defining each of the following
words: mop, heat, air, run, view,
drop, set.
Of course there are no set rules
for this fascinating game perhaps
that it one reason for its popularity,
but in any event these suggestions
