AMERICAN PROHIBITION
REVIEW OF WORK DONE. “PROBLEM GROWING EASIER.” (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright). (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) WASHINGTON, June 10. (Received June 11, 9.30 p.m.) The Federal Prohibition Commissioner, Mr Haynes, issues a statement recounting his work done during the first two years of the Harding Administration in the enforcement of prohibition. He declares that the sentiment of the country is growing in favour of the enforcement and impresses the confident hope that the problem is growing progressively easier of solution, though he is still unable to obtain adequate co-opera-tion in many eastern communities, especially on the Atlantic seaboard. The Federal Government instituted 65,750 criminal and 3,500 civil charges against prohibition violators, and secured 43,905 and 2,314 convictions respectively. More than 6,500,000 dollars in fines have been collected.
