The sya- tem of government control of liquor in Canada is a failure, the board of temperance, prohibition, and public morals of the Methodist Episcopal church declared today in a statement | reviewing conditions in the dominion | since the end of prohibition to some provinces. The board explained its conclu.) sions were based upon a personal survey of Ernest A. Grant, und upon government documents and newspaper articles. It added “only fucts and figures of authenticity are used.” Summarizing the conclusions, board says: “Government control in Canada has meant: “An increased consumption of liquor. “Greatly increased use of alcoholic liquors by young people und women. “A swollen liquor bill. ‘ “A great economic loss. which has halted prosperity. : “Inereased vice and crime, sing in the government expenses which, e burdened the taxpayers. A corruption hitherto unknown in Canada, “An illicit trade ‘as great as that under any prohibition law.” MAY ENFORCE “BLUE LAWS IX PITTSBURGH Public Safety Director An- nounces Ban on Sunday Sports of All Kinds Pittsburgh, Pa, Oct. 7—@— Pennsylvania’s second largest city to faced the prospect of a “sport- less” Sunday with an additional ban on Sunday sales of tuberculosis anti- toxin a strong possibility. Invoking the blue laws of 1794, ignored for more than a century by police officials, James M. Clark, Pitts- burgh’s director of public safety, yesterday prohibited the playing of any Sunday sports, including football, baseball, golf, tennis, and quoits, and then declared he would strictly en- force every’ phase of the blue laws which ban all Sunday activity but that “necessary far life.” May Seek Injunction Talk of applying for an injunction to prevent carrying out of the di rector's order was heard in football circles, but nothing definite along that line yet has been done. Doubt whether such an injunction could be obtained was expressed by Samuel H. Gardner, district attorney of Alle- gheny county. Under the director's order, ull Pitts- burgh golf courses and tennis courts on public or private property will be closed on Sunday unless legal ef- forts forestall Clark's move. If Clark goes ahead with his plans to enforce literally all phases of the “blue laws,” all stores in the city will have to close except drug stores which, however, will be allowed to sell only medicinal and sick room pl Some expr whether he had authority to a drastic ord by train the against Sunday sports na ins Bd oe minister protested playing a _footbal ie near his church on Sunda; dues ‘tioned concerning the ban, that if it 1 PII ge ak wo mt he gota family in- used in extermingti oF vaslety of redgute which Foie ak ht express Just as though Mr. William Harrison ble recently, Mrs. M.
