WnnliltiKtnn. .Inly 20. Western
1'ennsylvanln Is canting the federal pro
hibitinn enforcement officials more trou
ble than any other section of the I'nlted
States, according to ,Tohn V, Kramer,
federnl prohibition commissioner.
"More whisky and bepr nre being sold
in western Pennsylvania than nnvwhere
else in the United States," said Kramer
estcrdnv. "Thin flows over into Ohio
and makes conditions very bad In the
eastern part of the state." he added.
"We have done effective work in clean
ing up the suburbs of Pittsburgh, but
conditions In Pittsburgh arc not good.
There is a situation there that is hard
to handle, but we are after it.
"It Ii true that intoxicants are being
sold In large cities of the country, hut
we regard the situation in New York
nnd Illinois ok relatively better than
In Pennsylvania, particularly In the
mining regions.
"The New York city liquor is being
sold more or less onenlv, but up-state
New York is not bad. In Chicago
lifpior is being sold, but down -state
Illinois is observing the law. In Penn
sylvania, howi-ver, our problem is not
localized. Wc nre having trouble
throughout the stnte."
.lust what proportion of his force
lias been assigned to Pennylvanla was
not Indicuted by the commissioner, hut
he intlmnte'd that additional agents arc
assisting the regular force In its ef
fort to remedy alleged conditions.
Kramer recently returned from a tour
through Pennsylvania and Is directing
the drive that Is being made to eloau
up the stnte of prohibition vlolatgrs.
The drive, he said, would be centered
upon "the king" bootleggers who con
trol the siinnlv.
Asked whether former brewery rou
ters like St. Louis. Clnclnuntl and Mil
waukee were giving the enforcement
officers much trnifble. Kramer replied
that conditions in those cities wore
mild compared with western Pcnns.w
vanlii. where real beer and whisk were
being dispensed in open violation of law.
Near-beer manufacturer, lie slid, were
complaining that the were unable to
sell their product because other brew
ers are not complying with the law.
Kramer also took occasion to refute
statements niihlished recently in sev
eral newspapers that beer brewed in the
home for fnmlly consumption may con
tain more than one half of 1 per cent al
cohol without breaking the law.
"No malt boorngo containing more
than one-balf of l per cent can De man

"The only things that may be manufac
tured in our own home for our per

"In tlio case of cider and fruit juices
