WIDEN DRY RAID AGAINST WOMEN Arkansas Agents Aim “Hard- Boiled” Drive at Female Bootleggers. By the Assoclated Press. LITTLE ROCK, Ark, July 20— ‘With orders to be “hard boiled,” Fed- | eral prohibition raiders invaded an un- announced section of Arkansas today to further the war against woman boot- leggers. The rald was launched by S. M. Gurley, deputy prohibition admials- trator for the western section of the State. Gurley, who accredits 75 per cent of liquor vending in Arkansas to women and has declared that “before we are through hundreds of them are going to find themselves facing a Federal judge,” personally directed today's rald.

Nineteen women, ranging from a 20- year-old stockingless girl to a 60-year- old mother, already have been arrested since the deputy administrator inau- gurated his campaign last Wednesda; Five of the arrests were made yester- day by raiders at Pine Bluff and a squad which crossed over into Texas.

Agreement with the deputy adminis- trator's statement in launching the drive, that “the days of Southern chiv- alry are over, so far as women vio- |lators of the prohibition amendment [are concerned,” was seen in a lecture of Magistrate' G. W. Ragland to the latter two women when they were ar- raigned before him. | “I'm tired of women appearing be | fore me and begging for mercy simply I'because they are women,” he said “From now on I'm going to treat them as men.

NEW YORK, July 20—Visitors to New York and “decent people” have been warned by Police Commissioner | Whalen to keep away from night clubs, | which, he says, are controlled by gang- dom. Those who fall to heed the | warning, he said, are llable to get a | 1ot of police attention. The commissioner issued his warn- ing in announcing the indictment of John Diamond, notorious gunman and racketeer, and Charles Entratta, ex- convict, for last Saturday’s double slay- | ing at the Hotsy Totsy Club, of which Diamond was part owner. “This indictment,” said the commis- | i sioner, “brings to the fore the fact that | gangdom is in control of the night clubs. ' It would be well for decent people to | kcep away from such places, for they're going to get lots of police attention from now on.” The Hotsy Totsy Club_is onc of the | less pretentious of the Broadway dis- | trict resorts.

In 1893 “Old Peppersass” made its last run and was sent to the World Fair at Chicago. Subsequently it was kept in the Field Museum there for years until acquired by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad two years ago in connection with the assembly of old-time locomo- tives for the Fair of the Iron Horse.

WORK CONDITIONS T0 BETTER WORLD League Official Sees Move Toward Higher Culture and Racial Amity. By the Associated Press. ‘GENEVA, July 20—The great masses of world peoples are moving toward a higher culture, intellectual emancipa- tion and moral improvement, with deep aspirations toward social justice, in the apinion of Albert Tk . director of International Labor Office. In his annual report, Mr. Thomas, who recently made an extensive tour of the Far East, declares his judgment that an effective contribution will have been made toward abolishing the sharp sense of racial inequality when uni- formly equitable and humane working conditions are established for all. To bring about justice and equity in-labor conditions will, in Mr. Thomas’ opinion, be a great contribution to the peace which the League of Nations is seeking to consolidate. Helpful Contacts Established. Referring to the Far East, the director says that the organization has estab- lished helpful contacts with countries whose civilization is old. but whose in- dustry is still young: with races whose instincts as well as their traditions and culture make them in general ready to accept and follow the great principles | contained in the pact of the League of Nations and the international labor charter. He adds: “There are still innumerable prej- udices, conflicting interests. profound and at times apparently insurmountable misunderstandings. not to mention the feeling of hostility which exists in more or less varying degrees between the white and yellow races. ommunism, too, with its clear-cut and brutal propaganda, fre- quently helps stir up feelings of hatred which no marvels of modern technical progress can allay.
