Upfigers Plan Strong Push On Montana Liquor Supply
Enforcement chief announces Montana will expand federal prohibition units after the first of the year. The force will rise from eight to fifteen with two inspectors, aiming to disrupt bootleg supply at sources such as stills and smugglers. Captain B. M. Welliver says destruction of stills hurts bootlegging more than petty arrests. He notes Montana shows progress since 1920 with fewer bootleggers and drinkers, and says Butte is not unusually wet compared with other towns.
