Enright, New York police commissioner, and | some of the features of his program for international police co-operation. BY EDWARD M. THIERRY NEW YORK, Aug. 26.—Richard E. Enright, police commissioner of New York, looms up as the leader in the solution of one world problem which politics seems unlikely to hin- a o make the world unsafe for criminality.” “I don't expect to nee crime utterly banished,” he says, “but 1 do nee « way to cut it down 50 per cent in five years.” Commissioner Enright, just back from Europe, where he converted the police authorities of six nations to his ideas, told in an interview the program he will lay before a meeting of the National Police conference which will really be international in acope—on Sept. 11, This is the program: One—National and International | police cooperation on a systematic basix—an “entente cordiale in police | affairs.” Two—A central bureau under fed ral sugpices as a clearing house for | the identification of criminals, and} for the automatic gathering and ex. | change of records, fingerprinta and Dbotograpia, ‘Three—Broadcasting of complete information—up-to-date records, fin gerprints, photographs—ot habitual criminals about to be released from prison. Four—An agency to combat crim nal anarchy, to keep tab on move- ments of “reds.” Five—Police supervision of {mml. gration, to prevent by international cooperation, entrance of criminals and anarchists. “Crime is receding all over the country,” says Enright, “Indeed, major crime in New York alone fs 20 per cent less than in 1916 before abnormal war conditions came. But we can cut it more. “Too many in America think the law is a joke. I found England has leas crime because there is a well- grounded respect for the law. I think some parts of Continental Europe have more crime than America. “Criminals here no longer fear punishment in prison; they consider it a sort of a holiday. Prison life is too easy and comfortable. The prison reform faddists have broken down respect for law.” But} A final effort wil) be made to bring about peace in the hard coal fields, | Tf this faila, Senator Cummins, after | & conference with the president. and | he would Introduce a measure next | | week calling for federal operation of | the mines. | Seizure of the raliroads ts not con |tempiated until the managements | |have been given full opportunity to demonstrate their ability to maintain | satisfactory service, If the lines | show signs of breaking down, Cu mins sald, another measure for sein ure of the rouds will be placed before congress. | It ie not the intention of the gov | ernment to make « nation-wide selz Jure of the roads at altho | the bil) giving the president the pow er to take over the lines may vest him with blanket authority to oper te the entire system at one time, Cumming made {t known First of all, the coalcarrying rail |roads that fail to function would be | taken over under’the plan, Cummins stated, After that other roads stiow, ling signs of breaking down would be | taken over, he sald. ‘The anthracite strike has cut off the coal supply of the great industrt- al states of the Kast and New Eng. land, threatening actual suffering thle winter, while it seems improty able that the ratlroads will be able) to handle the record-breaking traffic | facing them, due to the settlement of | the bituminous strike and the delay tn | moving the bumper crops.
