I RICHARD THEATER, Ahogkie, Saturday, November 3rd, 7:30a^9^M!^^^n25 ??* (By PETER KEEGAN1 WASHINGTON CONTINUES to be considerably exercised over the enforcement of the dry I*w. with Gov ernor Pinchot of Pennsylvania caus ing President aa much if not more trouble than he did over the coal strike situation a few weeks ago. The President's conference with the state governors has come and gone and it now remains to be seen if the silent man in the White House has been successful in passing the enforcement buck to the Chief Magistrates of the several States. The trouble that Pin chot is causing the President in pass ing enforcement back back to the Administration, is, of course, largely political and it has been suggested that it might clear up matters some what if Coolidge would delegate the Pennsylvania Governor to take charge of federal prohibition enforcement jot as he asked him to end the coal strike and as he got out from under the darkening agricultural clouds, temporarily at least, by turning the problem over to former Governor Lowden of Illinois, also a contender for the Republican presidential nomi nation. ''jPl MEMBERS OF THE American Debt Funding Commission have add ed up the figures in the European col umn and found that our allies in the World War owe us a trifling seven billion dollars. Great Britain is the only nation that has definitely con tracted to pay so the Administration is planning to send duns around again to try to bring in some cash. As fast as this money comes in it will be used to wipe out internal indebtedness in the form of Liberty Bonds and other war-time securities held mostly by Americans. SAMUEL GOMPERS, the veteran head of the American Federation of Labor, reveals that thousands of Labor organisations throughout the country are preparing to take an ac tive part in the forthcoming presi-l dential and congressional elections, > though their activity will be non-par tisan. Labor will oppose or endorse. candidates, according to Gompers, on j the basis of their records as compiled ; at A. P. F. headquarters here and by state and local branches in all states.1 WILLIAM TYLER PAGE, Clerk of the House of Representatives, who has a passion for figures and statis tics, says that the Congressional < death toB since last March is the greatest in the history of the country, j Three Senators and fifteen Represen tatives have died since March 4, mak- j ing the mortality rate about four per; cent The 66th Congress lost ten sen ators and fifteen Congressmen, but the deaths wore scattered over a longer period. FURTHER INDICATIONS that there will be plenty of fireworks in the next Congress over the price of coal were ariven by the statement of the United States Coal Commission that the profits of wholesaler* ar? 20C per cent more than they were befort the war. The commission'! flgurei were handed to the President and b? will sand them up to Congress with some suggestions for legislation tc regulate the coal industry along witl the railrdfeds.
