LAWRENCE; East of Mingan, Que., Aug. 26.--After eight years of government control Quebec still supports bootleggers on a large scale. Not so much from illicit sale of liquor in Quebec City or Montreal but by sales to fisher- men and tourists along the shores of the St. Lawrence. Ste. Pierre de Miquelon, a small French island between Newfound. land and thq Gaspe peninsula, is headquarters for a picturesque band of rum-runners who set sail with a cargo in much the same manner as a peddler sets out with a cart full of bananas. They hope to sell their liquors but they don't know where. They hope to get some money but they don't know how much. It is the type of situ- ation that makes efficiency experts sour on life. To make things easier for the Miquelon marauders the govern- ment has declined to open liquor shops anywhere on the north shore --a 650 mile stretch east of Que- bec--and the regularly tradiag companies, such as Labrador Fish- eries and Hudson Bay have declin- ed to handle beer. It is thereiure a case of sending to Quebec for a bottle and perhaps wait a month until it arrives or buy from the rum-runners, who have a varied uas- sortment at their finger tips and sell it for less than half the gouv- ernment price. Almost any brand of Scotch whiskey can be bought for wo dollars a quart, and when business is slack a 26-0z bottle, sucu as sells in Sir Henry Drayton's ser- vice stations in Ontario for $4.55 goes for $1.50. Compelled to Patrol Because of the enormous stretch of territory the preventive service is compelled to patrol. The Mique- lon marauders are seldom disturp- ed by officialdom but occasionally one of them falls into a snare and it costs him plenty. He is not only prosecuted under the provincial laws, but by the department of na- tional revenue for selling and im- porting liquor. without paying tax. It is this avoidance of tax that per- mits him a profit on Scotch at $1.50, Land agents are necessary, of course, but as a rule the drinking populace of a town gathers at the wharf when the refreshment boat arrives and the once popular policy of having one on the house is re- vived. 2 I was at one of such open air salts. The sales room was a schoon- er of about 100 tons. It was coal black and flew the tri-color of France, It dropped anchor abcut 100 yards from shore and a sailor came Into drum up trade. He found it slow at first but gradually a few fishermen drifted out. This is where the "have one, go ahead have another" stuff comes in. What Was Offered Available liquors were in burlap bags with a bottle or two on top of each sack to indicate the con- tents. There were champagnes, burgandies, sauternes and Spanish Nadeira, among the wines. I saw neither port nor sherry. Hard lig- uor included an enormous supply of whiskey, some rum, liqueurs and gin. The price was two dollars for any of the hard drinks or the cham- pagne. Burgundy was 75 cents and sauterne a quarter. In large quan- tities the price was reduced but there were no large quantities sold. Even tourists en route to New- foundland could not lay in a sup- ply because there is customs in- spection before entering Corner- brook and liquor bearing no duty stamp is legitimate seizure. Natives either did not have the cash to stock up or treated the boat like a street car--another along shortly, why worry? The skipper of this craft was a gay Irishman who spoke freely of his racket and was at great pains to make it clear his boat carried no arms of any kind. He said he knew Captain Randall of the I'm Alone, that in the winter time he worked from the Bahamas, that he had been twice under shell fire from United States cutters and that there was no money in rum-run- ning. "This game sounds very pic- turesque when you read about it in the papers," the skipper declar- ed. "Not long ago someone wrote a -whole book about a girl I had here. They called her queen of the rum runners and had her directing the movement of a whole fleet of boats and landing huge whiskey cargoes in New York, New Orleans and Atlanta. It was boloney. The girl was a cook and she was no queen. "Just a while ago a Mrs. Sinclair Lewis gets it. into her head to write about the modern buccan- eers of Miquelon. Not so bad as the first. No Guns, No Combine "Everybody that writes about the liquor game thinks we are hard guys with plenty of artillery but no honor. I offer even' dough that you can't 'find an iron on any of the rafts at Miquelon. What's more you won't find any combine. This might shock some of the wise guys up New York way. That's the biggest graft town this side of Port Said. I landed a few car- goes in there and after I was through splitting with all the graft- ers I didn't have bean money. it's the same at New Orleans. You get in with a load and somebody looks TRAVELLING BOOTLEGGERS FLOURISH WHARVES AS STORES Picturesque Rum-Running Business Waxes Through Que- bec Government Refusal of Shops for North Shore Quebec and for the privilege of letting you and for the privilege of lettng yuu use a wharf--and guaranteeing that you won't get nipped--they take 50 cases or so. Then some- body with trucks takes the stu to a warehouse and takes his share, not to mention how much he steus, Then the warehouse guy chips in. Then the precinct commander, then the lieutenants and before long there is about enough left to stock a ship smoking room for a one night voyage. None of these eggs want cash. They want the goous. Now what is a police captain go- ing to do with a dozen cases of liquor? But that is what he waus." "What about this end of the game any money in this?" "Well, there is and there isn't. Along the north shore there is not much liquor sale except near Mur- ray Bay and Tadousac. We sell to guys on shore there and they pass it on to the tourists at the hotels. We make an even dollar a bottle on the Murray Bay stuff but up there the chance of being picked off is pretty stiff and you can't pull a bribe on these Frenchies. They won't even talk to you. On the south shore we sell even less but around Nova Scotia and Prince Edward the pickings are fairly easy."
