Poisonous Liquor Found
Washington, Oct 30. A nation
wide conspiracy to defraud pur
chasers ot bootleg liquor by coun
terfeiting internal revenue stamps
and labels of standard brands of
whisky was disclosed by 'Commis
sioner Williams of the internal rev
enue bureau here today. Five men
arrested in Detroit, kfich., were
found tot have hundreds of such
stamps, labels and quantities of
fermenting whisky mash, Mr. Wil
liams stated. - r ;
Great quantities of poisonous bot
tled liquor bearing labels of stand
ard brands and covered with coun
terfeit "bottled in bond" stamps he
warned are now on the market. The
men arrested are said to have made
a detailed confession implicating
hundreds of other men.
The favorite and mosj profitable
fraud, it was stated, is thatA perpe
trated through labels bearing the
name of "Canadian Club" and "Ho
mer 'Walker Imperial" whisky,
which commands a high price in the
United States and which has recent
ly become- astonishingly easy to ob
tain. .
Thousands of bottles purporting
to be "bonded" liquor of Uhis brand
have recently been sold at from $18
to $25 per quart. The grade of
liquor found in the samples exam
ined was found to, be very low, and
in some .cases poisonous. -
The roots of the conspiracy are
said to reach , into Canada, where I

manufactured.

i Copyright 1920.
London, Oct. - 30.Accordin jto
present indications T British :' coal
J miners will return to their work a
week from next Monday. .
At least this is the program of the
miners' leaders, who announced that
the , men's vote s, on acceptance or
non-acceptance o(f the peace terms
would be taken next Tuesday. The
returns will then be brought before
a meeting ot, (he miners delegates
in London next Wednesday,,
- At this meeting, if the vote is fa
vorable to a settlement, as it is ex
pected it will be, the great coal mine
strike will be ' called off formally.
The miners' leaders are most confi
dent of the outcome and expect high
majorities for peace in every sec
tion excepting South Wales, where
the radical influence is strongThey
feel sure, however, that the possible
negative returns fromSouth Walesi
will be heavily outvoted by the rest
of the country.
An excellent omen lies in the fact
that in several of the coal fields the
mine owners already are arranging
to get the ponies back into the pits
in readiness for resumption of oper
ations. The miners' delegates scattered
from London to their several dis
tricts for the purpose of urging their
men to vote in favor of the peacc
terms, in accordance with their
promise to the government.
