Said they were not advocating action
at this time, but would not stand in the
way OF a rule IL the opponents OF the
legislation wanted to force the issue.
The committee decided 10 postpone, un-
I'll July /, the proposed special rule.
Sentiment IN the committee seemed TO
favor an early disposition of the
trouolous prohibition question and the
rue probably will be reported three
The prospect of a record vote on pro-
hibIt1on is bringing uneasy moments to
the average member of the House and
many of the rank and file are dis
pleased that the leaders have decided
on a vote at this session. The hope
Vss that the vsNing problem might be
dsstepped in some way.
DR.. Dinwiidie, explaining the atti-
tide of the prohlbitIonists, made public
q telegram he sent chairman Henry
or the hules committee last week. Ihls
telegram said:
Papers here report a probable vote
on the Hobson resolution in the near
future upon Underwoods insistence Our
attitude remains as stated to you, and
vas determined upon the earnest re-
quest Of many leading majority men,
bers. While. in many ways, we would
gladly have a record vote, under all the
circumstances, we don't intend to esk

CONGRESSMAN Hobson explained that
many members have asked him not 10
press for action until they had time TO
give the subject mature considera-
tom and he had acceded to their re-
quests However. said Mr. Hobson, he
vas ready for the test.
Other reports from prohibition camps
were to the effect that the prohIbi-
ticnists feared a vote at this session,
not being certain that they could mus
ter the requisite two-thirds majority to
pJt through the Hobson resolution.
Adverse action at this time might set
hack the cause several years.
