How many federeal prohibition agents were there when this document was written in 1923?

In 1923, there were approximately 2,300 federal prohibition agents working to enforce the Volstead Act, which established the prohibition of alcohol in the United States. This number was relatively small compared to the widespread illegal activities associated with bootlegging and speakeasies during that time. The agents faced significant challenges in enforcing the law due to the vast public disobedience and corruption.
