“Fifty men armed witli sawed-off shotguns raided Foust’s distillery, at Glen Rock, York, County, early yesterday, overpowered guards and stole 181 barrels of whisky. Sixteen motor trucks were needed to carry the whisky away. The stock is valued at 181,000 dollars.
“It was the- seeoi»a attempt tn a week to, rai'd the distillery. Late* Thursday twelve men in motor trucks drove up to the distillery and overpowered the guards with drawn pistols.”— Philadelphia Public Ledger; Jiuly. 1-6; 1922.
This is- not an isolated, case of lawbreaking in U.S.A. It is a sample of what, is (happening every\day in different parts of; the country. A 1 Sample of the failure .of Prohibition, and the enormous crop of criminality that has followed in its wake. Keep New Zealand free from this vile thing—Vote Restoration and National Continuance.
