LIQUOR MEN STIR PUBLIC
Saw Drinkers Are Careless of
Loss of Personal Liberty.

Twenty-odd members Of the New York
state Wholesale Liquor Dealers Associ-
alton spett all day In a secret meeting at
the Hotel Biltmore yesterday and drew
in resolutions declaring that II there was
anv agitation regarding prohibition II
must be between the individual drinkers
and the Prohibition party. In part the
resolution read:
I'VE believe. and experience confirms
the belief. that a large majority or the
neople of the United States desire to use
and demand the right to obtain various
forms Of alcoholic beverages therefore,
the issue on the liquor question is not
between the trade in liquor on the one
side and the advocates OF prohibition on
the other.
THE people should recognize that the
issue has been created BY the public's own
demand for alcoholic beverages, and that
the problem merits the same careful con-
s.deration accorded other economic ques-
tons Of equal Importance
In speaking 10 the resolution member
If the executive committee said:
"The people who create the demand
which we supply have taken a singularly
detached attitude. as II they were merely
spectators Of a conflict IN the outcome OF
which they had no interest. II is grimly
humorous that the millions upon millions
ui p-ople who demand alcoholic beverages
have conducted themselves as though the
Mort to deny them that right WAS mat
Ter N which they had no concern
Among those who spoke were Henry j.
Katcnbach, president or the association
