IRS USE WIRELESS, High Profits From Illicit Li- quor Go To Syndicates, Not The Ship Crews By GCORGE COMSTOCK NEA Service Writer ST. PIERRE, J3ct. more than 1,000,000 cases of liquor smug- gled into the United States within the past 12 months, and with pros pects for even greater activity in the near future, the rum-running trade from St. Pierre and Miquelon, sniaJl French-Islands in the North Atlan- tic, has reached the proportions of a maor industry. And the trade is being conducted on big business lihes.

There was a time when anyone who owned a ship could buy a cargo of whiskey, ship a crew, seil to a spot safely off the United States coast and wait for speed boats to come out and buy the whiskey. Today, however, the haphazard methods have changed. An individual, operating without a shore organization in the United States, hasn't a chance of success in the rum trade. The business has become systematized and veloped. It is a specialized indus- try, dealing in millions, and calling for brains and experience to insure success.

Mon- treal is recognized as the great li- quor mart.
