Florence, July 5. (Ily A. I.)
Carabineers fired upon crowds here yes
trrday. Disorders nre Increasing nnd
the ransacking ot shops is widenpread.
One dead and twenty Injured was the
total of yesterday's rioting.
Strengthened by rowdica, the crowd
has abandoned itself to the gencrnl
sacking of all shops without distinc
tion, destroying what it is unable to
carry off. One entire street is flooded
with petroleum, gasoline, wine and olive
oil.
Wherever the chamber of labor is
able- to exercise authority, goods are
being transported to special warehouses
under the red flag, even tramcars being
pressed into this service. Large quan
tities of supplies arc being turned over
to the municipality in the Piazza Sig
noria, the chief square of the city.
Money taken from shops also is being
placed in the care of the municipality
or the chamber of labor. Thousands
of boxes of matches nre being distribut
ed free to the crowds.
Auger over the scarcity and high
cost ot food is largely responsible for
the rioting.
The only shops respected by the
rioters were those bearing the inscrip
tion: "This shop is at the disposal of
the Chamber of Labor," The cham
ber nppmcntly has become the only au
thority to which the people pay any at
tention. It issues orders frequently.
The automobiles and cabs permitted to
use the streets must bear a sign reading
"circulation allowed by Chamber of
Labor." The' local authorities seem
ingly have made no effort to oppose this
organization.
All the newspapers have suspended
publication because of a strike
prohibiting only intoxicating beer. Care
ful research by scientists and . medical
men whose affidavits wo hold show that
beer containing not to exceed 2 per
cent alcohol by weight is not intoxicat
ing. On the (strength of this scientific
evidence, made after careful research
and observation by men of trained
minds, we believe that 2 per cent
beer is not intoxicnting and its sale
docs not violate the wnrtlmo prohibi
tion rider as Interpreted by the unani
mous opinion of the Circuit Court of
Appeals' of New York In recent lit liga
tion In thoHoftinnn case.
"AVo hnvc stated the case as clearly
and plainly as we knew how to such of
our customers ns have asked our ad
vice, and wc thinkt that the lletail
Liquor Dealers' Association in attempt
ing to intimidate retail dealers who de
sire to serve the public, Js anything but
n creditable action.
"Wo arc acting under the advice of
the nblest and most eminent counsel we
could engage and they nssure us that
making and selling beer not to exceed
2 per cent alcohol is no violation of
any law."
An nppenl for the enforcement of the
prohibition net lins been mndc by the
Rev. Dr, Homer W. Tope, J'hllndcl
phia district superintendent of the Anti
Saloon League. The league will conduct
n campaign for enforcement of the net
during the summer. The organization

Senor Pardo, all his ministers nnd n

The revolution began nt .'! o'clock In

prolsionnl piesldent.
It was announced that President
Pardo would be placed on trlnl on
charges of having violated the constitu

is that Pardo attempted to purchase
the votes of members of Congress in
order to carry out his plans to annul

The inauguration of Senor Leguia as

take place within two months. The

ceeded to City Hall and held a long
conference with Superintendent of Po
lice Itobinson.
He asked the city Authorities to turn
over as many men ns possible to assist
the government to obtain evidence
against the beer-sellers.
Superintendent Ilob'inson told the
government agent that the majority of
the city detectives were at work on the
"red" propnginda cases, but said that
bo would "lend" ns many men ns ho
could possibly spare for the liquor
work. Jt is understood that n large

Record of Saloons Made
. The city police have made a record of
tho saloons doing business. This was
given to Mr. Clark by the superintend
ent. The following are the figures for
the four days of July of the saloons en
gaged in business:
July 1, 311; July 2, 335; July 3,
3S0; July 4, 342; July 5, probably ns
ronny ns yesterday.
The following is the order received
today from Washington :
"There should bo no difficulty in
carrying out these instntions in the
case of distilled spirits or other liquors
yhich are admittedly intoxicating,
' Ki, f In r.nA nr hvn lnrifirilpHnns the
courts have ruled that beer is not pro
hibited unless in fact intoxicnti-. JThis
ruling would require the government to
prove in eve,ry case that tlJ beer in
question is intoxicating and would ham
per the administration of the law.
"It is believed that this ruling is er
roneous and an appeal has been taken
to the Supremo Court. In every dis
trict where a case has not yet been de
cided it is the desire of the department
that a decision should be obtained be
fore tho government accepts the view
that it must prove that the beer is in
fact intoxicating.
"The department further agrees that
test cases be proceeded with as speedily
as possible; that the question should
be raised pn demurrer, the demurrer
making the point that the beer is not in
toxicating. If tho demurrer Is over
ruled the United States attorney is to
proceed immediately in nil other enscs
of which ho has knowledge of 2 .per
cent beer being manufactured since May
1,' or sold since July 1."
Mr. Kane said thai counsel had
"agreed to argue tho Uergner & Engel
caso next Wednesday, 'there being a
regular sitting, of the court on that
day.
Brewers View
Saloons have the right to sell -

A. roth, secretary of tho State Brew
ers' Association.
In view of the present state of com
plications, Mr. Potli asserts, no one
knows exactly what the law governing
the sale of liquor is.
The declaration of Mr. Poth fol
lowed a statement of Neil Bonner, pres
ident of tho Philadelphia Itetail Liquor
Dealers Association, who asserted that
the brewers were urging the saloon
keepers to remain open and intimating
that protection would be given them if
itiwere necessary.

Labor Shortage Impends
Says U. S. Secretary of Labor
Car Shortage Predicted
By U. S. Director General of Railroads
BuyYour
Goa
INow
Listen To and Heed What Your Gov't Officials Say
'E are telling you the coal situation as we know it. Morever, everything
we are saying is based upon the official statements of the highest gov
ernment authorities.
W!
Forty thousand foreign-born miners are returning to Europe. There is
yirtually no immigration; consequently the men cannot be replaced. Their
departure alone means a reduction of forty million tons in the coal output of
the year twenty million tons for the remainder of 1919.
This is of Intimate Personal
Concern to You
Coal consumers have not bought for Fall
and Winter uses. Result: Production up to '
June 14 is short 64,000,000 tons or one
eighth of the total amount the country must
have if it is to escape shut-down factories
closed public utility plants discomfort
in the home.
The movement of crops is impending.
When that begins the opportunity to make
up the shortage in coal will be gone. Cars
and motive power must be shared with grain
and other export products.
Coal cannot be stored at the mines; its pro
duction must keep pace with the capacity of
cars turned over to the mine operators. Cars
cannot be sent to the mines unless the coal
has been ordered. The orders must come
from YOU the coal user.
Gov't Chiefs Warn YOU
Government chiefs have issued warnings
to buy coal now. Harr-y A. Garfield, United
States Fuel Administrator, warns:
"Buy now in August or Autumn will be
too late. A big coal shortage is coming."
Director General Hines, of the United
States Railroad Administration, warns the
coal consumer that: "Unless he buys his coal
this Summer, he is going to find it difficult to
get it this tall and Winter."
Secretary of Labor Wilson says: "Those
who postpone buying coal in the hope of
lower prices are speculating in the future
misfortunes of the nation."
Remember your plight in the winter of
19 1 7 and 19 1 8 the coal shortage that caused
personal discomfort and industrial loss.
Remember the action that averted a dupli
cation of this distress in 191 8 the early buy
ing and storing of adequate stocks for home
and business use.
Then face this fact. You must buy now if '
you are to have coal to operate your factory,
heat your home, store, school and other
buildings.
Dealers in your own community will tell,,
you facts that concern the local situation.
Let nothing delay you. w
BUY YOUR COAL NOW!
