DRY FORCES PLAN EASTERN INVASION Agents Translerred to Larger| (Cities From Other Districts Washington, Dec, 13.—Prohibition Commissioner Haynes and his as- sistants yesterday got under way a' campaign which will result in the concentration of prohibition enforce- ment agents in New York, Philadel- | phia, Baltimore and other large wet| centers, The agents are to be drawn | from districts where the enforcement | problem {8 less difficult. Although the new campaign has come with the Christmas holidays, it | was suggested that it would”be more or less permanent and was not de- vised to meet the special occasion, The prohibition unit is determined to make a vigorous fight in the places where disrespect for the prohibition amendment is widespread and to sce whether the law cannot be enforced to a greater extent. Men Called to Capital. Haynes and his agents have had complete co-operation from some city and state officials, especially from some of the southern states, Nevertheless, the prohibition unit| has had a considerable number of | agents working in the south. The men now will be called to Washing- | ton and directed into the cities where there is more trouble. Where there are cities in the south in bad shape, agents will be concentrated there. . The new campaign follows closely | on the demand made by President Harding for vigorous enforcement of the law. The conditions which called forth an expression from the presi- dent are said to prevail almost ex-: clusively in such cities as New York, | § Baltimore, Chicago and the great eastern cities. There is no federal @ ofticial who will say that the law is being enforced in these cities even to | a fair extent. And reports from the wet centers carried into remote sec- | tions of .the country have caused considerable trouble. The dry squadrons will secretly, ‘it was said at prohibition headquarters. When they will begin | work and where they will make their first drive are matters which will get no publicity. It was significant, how- ever, that Commissioner Haynes had | issued a call to directors of southern states to come to Washington once to confer with him. H. 5.
