HOPE FOR RELIEF IN
PRESENT CONGRESS
Political Expediency, Rather
Than National Weal, Domi

RECOMMENDATIONS IN
MESSAGES IGNORED
No
Attempt Made to Enact
Legislation to Lighn
People's Burdons
By the Associated Press
Washington, Juno 5. President Wil
son, in a telegram today to officials of
the railroad brotherhoods, criticized
Congress for failing to take action with
regard to the high cost of living, the
conclusion of peace and important do
mestic legislation.
The telegram was in reply to a mes
sage asking the President to prevent
the adjournment of Congress today.
The text of the President's telegram
follows :
I received your telegram of June
3. You call my attention to matters
that I presented to the present Con
gress in a special message delivered
at a joint epssion of the two -houses
on August 8, 1010.
In nine months this Congress has,
however, taken no Important remedial
action with respect toitlie problem of
the cost of living on' the lines Indi
cated In that address or on any other
line.
Not only has the present Con
gress failed to deal directly with the
cost 'of living, but It has failed even
to'.give serious consideration to the
urgent appeal, oft repeated by me and
by the secretaries of the. treasury to
revise the "tax lawn, which. In their
present, form, aro indirectly respon-,sible-ln
part for the high cost of Hv
Ing.k Thcv protracted ilelay in deal
ing with' the problem of the rail
roads, tho. problem of the government-owned
'merchant marine nnd
other similar urgent matters has re
sulted in unnecessary burdens upon
the public treasury and ultimately
in legislation so unsatisfactory that I
could accept It, If at all, only be
cause I despaired of anything better.
The present 'Congress has not only
prevented the conclusion of pence in
Europe, but has failed to present any
constructive plan for dcolingjiwith
tho, deplorable conditions therp, the
continuance of which can only re
flect upon us.
In the light of the record ot the
present Congress, I have no reason
whatever to hope that Its continuance
In session would result In constructive
measures for the relief of the eco
nomic conditions to which you call at
tention. It must be evident to all that
the dominating motive which has
actuated this Congress Is political ex
pediency rattier than lofty purpose
to serve the public welfare.
Tho letter to the President from the
brotherhood chiefs said :
As the responsible heads of rail
road labor organizations, represent
ing more thon 2,000.000 workers, we
protest most earnestly nnd most em
phatically ngainst the proposed ad
journment of Congress next Saturday,
in accordance with the plan report
ed In tho public press. V,'c call at
tention tq the fact that despite the
revelations as to the profiteering scan
dal, Congress has done nothing to
check tho evil or to punish the 'evil
doers; that the cost of living con
tinues to advance without n single
remedial' measure having beeu passed
and that there has not been even seri
ous consideration of constructive leg
islation dealing with the serious prob
lem of industrial unrest.
In the circumstances it appears
to us incredible that the responsible
lenders of the government nt Wash
ington can assent to this seeming
agreement to continuation of a do
nothing policy which means that the
gravo economic problems of the, peo
ple are to be mudc the plaything of
politics and politicians for the next
five months. Jt invites political chaos
nnd business disaster. Congress
should remain in session.

SEIZED IN 26 RAIDS
66 Federal Agents Start Whole
sale "Clean-Up" Here and
. "Dry" Lid Is Clamped
20 ARRESTS TO BE MADE
Whisky valued at $100,000, accord
ing to United States prohibition cn-
iorcement olllclnls, wns seized in a
series of raids on saloons in all parts
pi tne city today.
Every government agent In Pennsyl
vania, New Jersey and Delaware, sixty
six in nil, took part In the raid, assist
ed by several hundred patrolmen nnd a
whole fleet of motor patrols.
The raids began early in the fore
noon. By the middle of the afternoon
twenty -five saloons had been raided. In
many of these what the agents said was
whisky was seized, in bottles, demijohns
nnd barrels, nnd carted off to the gov
ernment warehouse. Tho saloonkeepers
were notified to appear Tuesday at the
Federal Building.
The agents dashed about the city,
leaving a Sahara in their wake. An
effort was made to raid in as many
sections as possible simultaneously, so
that word could not fly ahead of the
raiders, and the saloonkeepers hide the
precious "hooch", In a safe place be
fore the.' government men dropped in.
However, the word spread rapidly, and
the "nothing-doing" sign bung out nt
most downto"M bars. .
Kramer Ordered Raids
National Prohibition Enforcement Offi
cer Kramer ordered the wholesale raid
in Philadelphia, which the officials say
is only a beginning of a systematic at
tempt to make the city bone dry.
Warrants were sworn out for twenty
saloonkeepers lat6 yesterday afternoon
in the Federal Building. This actlou
was taken following a direct brdcr from
Attorney General Palmer to the effect
that hereafter prohibition, agents need
not get the sanction of the local federal
attorney before issuing .warrants.
John W. Crolley, acting assistant
prohibition enforcement officer for
Pennsylvania, hastened to deny that
Mr. Palmer had ordered the town
cleaned up because of his recent row
with "Judge Bonniwcll. when the lat
ter charged that n river of booze had
been turned loose iu Pennsylvania de
liberately, and for political purposes.
The prohibition ngents wero well
satisfied this afternoon with the first
day's raiding, they ndmittcd. They
promised severe punishment for all
violators of the law.
"Clean-up" Promised
"Th authorities feel that they are
on the way to effectually clean up Phila
delphia," said Crolley. "The doctors
who ore violating the law in selling pre
scriptions will be prosecuted, ns will
tho shady drug stores which fill them.
"The punishments to which "the
saloonkeepers render themselves liable
Include :
"Criminal prosecution; injunction to
keep them from dealing in liquor for
me year; revocation of their lease, for"
which the arrests will be prima facie
justification under the law.
'.'The booze signs absolutely must
come down. Vehicles .bearing beer signs
will be banished from the streets. Ac
cording t the Volstead net, 'all saloon
keepers who have been arrested since
January 17 for violating tho law have,
made liable to ya penalty of ?50O and to
the doubling of their present revenuu
assessment."
Leo A. Crosscn, prohibition enforce
ment officer of Pennsylvania, said that
his Instructions to clean up Philadel
phia had come from Washington.
Raids In Tenderloin
Among other saloons raided today
were three In the tenderloin district.
They ore Gillespie's. Tenth and Race
streets; Regan's, Tenth nnd Cherry
streets, and another nt Ninth and
Cherry streets.
About the same time federal agents
raided the saloon of Patrick Lynnugh,
Thirty-second nnd Market streets. They
took a barrel of whisky from tho cellar
and loaded It into a big motortruck.
All tho liquor wag taken to tjie gov
ernment warehouse, Broad street nnd
Washington avenue.
The raids uttractcd n large crowd of
people in each neighborhood. There
were extra details of police on hand
to guard the precious hauls.
All of the places- raldfil wero closed
after the rulds and the proprietors were
questioned by the federal agents,

FHID.IN WOOD'S
CAMP SHARPENED;
CONFLICT IN OPEN
Rumors Spread That Moses and

NEW HAMPSHIRE SENATOR
STIRS UP HORNETS' NEST
Chief Candidates for President
Begin to Snap at Each

By CLINTON W. GILBERT '
Staff Corrrponun of the KTfnlnc l'nblle
Copyright, tmo. Iu iuM(o Atdatr Co.
Chicago, June 5. The fight In the
Wood camp sharpened with Senator
Moses's issuance of a statement attack
ing the Republican Nntionnl Committee,
nnd Genpral Wood's repudiation of the-
Moses statement. The genernl is brought
in open conflict wjth his southern man
ager.
This is the first time tho feud between
the politicians surrounding Wood nnd
the business nngcls back of him has been
brought into the open since the dismis
sal of John T. King in a similar con
flict. Senator Moses not only attacked
fthe national committee fiercely without
consulting General Wood, or Colonel
Procter, but he suggested a friendship
toward the Johnson cause, astonishing
tho manager of a rival candidate.
Report Moses May Desert
This suggestion followed a conference
between 'Moses nnd Johnson. The Moses
statement and the repudiation of it arc
the sensation today. People have not
yet decided what it all means. .Rumors
fly about that Senator Moses, who is a
personal friend of Senator Jobnso'n, is
getting ready to desert Wood for the
California senator. "Rumors also, say
that Frank II. Hitchcock, being dis
gusted with the Wood management, is
preparing to desert.
The statement put out wns evidently
enough to start these rumors'. It seems
to have been put out for the express
purpose of bringing the Hitchcock -Procter
fight out into tho open, and
forcing Wood's hand by threatening
his cause with destruction unless he
removes the trouble. It is impossible
to connect Hitchock directly with the
Moses statement, but the best opinion
is that the statement wan put out In
Hitchcock's interests, nnd perhaps with
his cognizance.
Statement Injurious to Wood
No one else iu theMVood camp was
cognizant of tljc Moses intentions.
(Jenernl Wood wns ' not consulted.
neither was Colonel Procter. The
Moses statement was too sensational,
too injurious to Wood not to have been
issued with somo big purpose in view.
The iden that Moses and nerhans Hitch
cock hnd got ready to cast their lot
with Johnson may be dismissed. When
men chamj.i sides in a polltlcaLfight
they do not,advertiso their intentions;
besides, the moment for a flop from
Wood to Johnson has not arrived.
Such a Hop would be nfost effective
after the third ballot. Tho Moses state
ment Is a vague, threat, at best, nnd
thrents always contain or imply an
"If." The "If" in this case probably
is If Hitchcock Is not made" openly and
officially head of tho Wood campaign.
The Moses statement is one of a series
of events.
Hitchcock has been ambitious for a
long time to supplant Colouol Proc
ter. He has not talked, but the men
who surround him have.. They have
been responsible for tho stones of trou
ble and the criticisms of Procter. The
mildest term they use in referring to
the soap angel is "boob." The shorter
and uglier wmd qualified by a particu
lar kind of damn is a favorite descrip
tion. On Thursday a story went forth that
Hitchcock had supplanted Procter. It
is impossible to trace this story, but
ever body had It, und it was industri
ously circulated. It may havo been put
forth to force General Wood's hand. Mt
was denied by Wood yesterday and de
nounced by him as -'euemy propa
ganda." Wood, speaking of it, showed
much feeling.
Treachery In Wood Camp
Its denlnl was followed by stories
coining from very close to the Wood
headquarters that the Wood movement
wns collapsing, that an early break-up
of the Low den vote threatened 'the nom
ination of Johnson. Soma ono in or
