was prosperous for the orchardists of

were . estimated . in . value at $2,000,000.
The present outlook for the year 1S21 is
that the pear and fruit crops will far
excell the valley's record. The small
fruit, shipments of berries, peaches and
cherries for . the past year were also
greatly In excess of those of 1919.

Enforcers Prepare to Put Into

Plans to MakeJ921 Bone Dry.
Withdrawal of Liquor Frpm Bond
ed Storage One Source of Evil
Which New Law Aims to Stop.
By Ralph F. Couch .
. Cnited Press btaff Cormpondeot
Washington, Jan. 1. Federal pro
hibition enforcement officials to
night were ready to put into opera
tion carefully matured plans to make
1921 a more nearly .'bone dry" year
than 1920. '
Prohibition Commissioner John F.
Kramer was prepared to promulgate
new regulations to control tliefwlth-
drawal of Hauor from bonded war
houses. '
e-
Police in most. big cities are now 'co
operating' with the federal officials .ex
cellently," said Kramer. "This ' is ; es
pecially true in New York, Chicago and
Cleveland.' ,. . j
1 "There is every prospect for a more
strict enforcement of the - national pro
hibition law. than in the first 12 months
of national prohibition, which will come
to a close January 12. -) i
Fraudulent withdrawal of liqiior from
bonded, warehouses has been the most
difficult problem with , which the en
rorcement .officials have had to cope;
During the first year of prohibition
withdrawals - totaled approximately 28,-
000,000 gallons. . Liquor under the- Vol
stead law may be withdrawn from bond
ed warehouses and sold only for nan
Deverage purposes, ferns its tot non-
beverage, purposes are issued under the
airecuon , oi jvramer. : ' ,
' Prohibition officials admit. Hiowever,
that a large part of the liquor 'with
drawn has fallen into the hands of boot
leggers despite their permit system. -
STILL' SOT PERFECT
Although the system had been amend
ed from time to time, to make it. more
nearly fraud proof, it still ia far from
perfect, officials said today. Kramer's
new amendments, however, are expected
to draw the lines much .tighter than
heretofore. ;.-v-'''" "V
" Another- source on' which bootleggers
depended for supply of liquor is that of
alcohol smuggled into the United States
from Canada, Mexico and Cuba. Cus
toms officials have been fighting the
smugglers for5 months with the 'result
that more than 1,000,000 quarts of seized
liquor are now stored in customs houses
along 'the borders.
The liquor seized, however, constitutes
only about one tenth of that which
actually- gets across ' the ' borders, ac
cording to the customs officials.
Kramer and customs officials hope
congress willf increase their appropria
tions this "year for law enforcement.

M'CAMAJIT PRESIDES 1 1 J
Former Justice Wallace McCam nant
presided and the speakers i were given
12 - minutes each and ; six minutes each
for rebuttaL. The "essential .rhdustjries"
were limited to the railroads,; the coal
mines and the .public utilities.
Charles Denby Jr., for the affirmative,
presented the , introductory, argument,
declaring that, the question, of st rikes
has become -j national question, and
that they inflict intolerable ; injury on
the public. He declared that organized,
labor, through its strike tactics, brings
such pressure on the publicnhat the pub
lic is forced torequire that; Its demand
b met,, regardless of the real Justlie of
the matter, and this a majority enforces
its will on the ' public ; He . urged i that
strikes are not a permanent setuefnentj
ot the matters at issue ana mat a eaier
means could be? devised and the inter
ests pf the public could be conserveld.
t This Was the'llne of argument follbwe
by the' other affirmative speakers,!! who
urged that a court of arbitration buld
provide equal justice td labor and jcapl-

MOST EFFECTITE-.' WEAP.QJf' .
John J. -Canoles. the first speaker for
the negative, declared that the arjn of
all labor legislation is to produce pe ate
so as to increase production, but that it
must be fundamentally just and pf i such
a nature as'csfti be enforced. . -
The negative argued that the right to
strike is the most i effective weapon of
organized labor, and that no one ques
tions a capitalists' right At) transfer his
money from one enterprise no another,
and the same right should be accorded
labor. It was argued that the proposed
law could not be (enforced, becaiise it
would not be backed by public sentiment,
and that)' collective bargaining would be
come ' a 3 farce because the- effective
weanon of tha strike In lh hanri. nf
habor would be eliminated and it would
