THREE BILLS VETOED
BY BLANKENB U RG
Mayor in Message Points Out Defi-
ciencies.

Mayor Blankenburg vetoed three bills,
including one providing regular per diem
employees be paid for vacations, legal holi-
days and absence from employment when
suffering from injuries. sickness "or dis
ability OF any kind Whatsoever
In a message to Councils the Mayor
pointed out he had previously requested
that this bill be amended. He objected
TO the bill in it's present form because 1t
did not allow sufficient discretion and
supervision of employees by admnlstra-
tive officers. and would therefore not pre-
vent unscrupulous employees from making
unjust claims upon the city
The Mayor also vetoed AN ordinance
providing that Patrick j. Whelan and
James T. Whelan be released from in
Identifying the city from all damages for
the placing on the city plan and the
subsequent opening OF Marshall street
from Duneannon avenue to Lindley ave-
nue.. The Mayor sent Councils a report
from the Chief Engineer OF the Bureau
Of Surveys, in which II was pointed out
that the brothers mentioned agreed to
indemnify the city against all damages
which might arise from placing the street
on the plan, and the Chief Engineer con-
tended that to relieve them would make
the city responsible for considerable
damages.

Continued from Page One
that he intended to vote for the rule but
against the resolution.
Following the adoption OF the rule, Rep
resentative Hobson addressed the House
in favor OF nationwide prohibition,
Mr.. Hobson prefaced his argument with
the biblical text. "And ye shall know
the truth and the truth shall make you
free" He asserted that this resolution
placed squarely before Congress the
greatest question and the most difficult
problem that has confronted Congress
and our people since slavery"
ATTACKS LIQUOR TRUST"
Mr.. Hobson attacked the ..liquor trust"
bitterly, saying. "A few thousand brew
ers and distillers making up the organi-
sation composing the great liquor trust
have a monopoly OF the supply and are
able to collect $9,5OOOOO,00O of cash from
the American people every year.
Labor unions ought TO realize that
liquor is their deadliest enemy. Liquor
causes the premature death of about
100000 Americans every year. Liquor cor
rupts elections, blights our free institu-
tions and brings about the downfall of
republics. Liquor is more destructive in
Following his speech Mr.. Hobson re-
celved a bunch of mistletoe from a fair
anti-saloon leader, who listened to his
speech from the reserved gallery. Mr.
Hobson placed the decoration on his desk
next to a large pile OF books, where 1t re-
manned throughout the debate.
Representative Underwood opposed the
resolution on the ground that 1t would rob
the States of their jurisdiction over police
matters and local self-government and
concentrate the power OF all government
here at Washington.
Representative Linthieum, OF Maryland
announced that he was not opposed 10 a
vote on the issue. but that prohibition
was a matter belonging TO the States, and
he Intended TO vote against the Hobson
resolution.
GEORGIAN FOR PROHIBITION.
Representative AdAmson, of Georgia.
favored State prohibition rather than
Federal prohibition. IF this is quss-
tion OF the vets against the 'drys,' :"
he added. "then am against the barroom

MAYOR RESENTS COUNCILS
SLUR IN ORDINANCE PRoVIS0
Declares Tnsinustion Against Ad-
ministrstion Unwarrsnted.

Declares Tnsinustion Against Ad-
ministration Unwarranted.
A proviso attached TO an appropriation
ordinance regarding the purchase OF ma
terials for the city aroused the indigna-
tion OF Mayor Blankeuburg who, IN q
message to Councils today. resented the
veiled lnsinuation IN the measure against
the present Administration.
II - recommended In the proviso that
the city, whenever possible, shall invite
bids from Philadelphia firms whose plants
are located In the city, and that a
schedule Of such bids and awards, certi-
fed by the Finance Committee. shall be
sent TO the City Controller before he shall
sign any warrants
The Mayor declared the proviso was
unwartanted and unreasonable. and with
his message returned an opinion from the
City solicitor, who declared the proviso
Illegal.
The aMyor said IL was a mystery why
Councils took such action. He called at
tentlon to the fact that all contracts were
awarded to Philadelphia firms whenever
the Administration was justified In doing
So He declared that to try to make a
committee OF Councils a supervising force
over administrative functions was with
out precedent. -
The Mayor said there never was a
breath of scandal against any OF the off,
cials appointed by him, IL might not
have been amiss. he suggested, II, under
the previous administration, such pro-
viso. II lawful, had been inserted in the
ordinance.
on hearing the Mayors message Chair
man John p. Connolly. of the Finance
Committee defended the proviso. He
said II was inserted TO take care Of Phil
adelphia and its manufacturers IN accord
ance with the Made in America" idea.
