Especial correspondence.1

Washington Dec. 9.-This session OF
congress will be marked by the most
intense activity on the part OF the
Anti-Saloon League and other anti
liquor organizations. Not only do they
hope to make marked progress toward
prohibition but they will support 9th
er important proposed legislation.
The measures which the anti-saloon
forces are going to urge are the fol-
lowing:
The national prohibition amendment.

vent liquor selling In states In VIOLA

Crowd Measures TO Front.
All these measures have been pre-
pared for introduction at the outset OF
the session. They will be crowded to
the front from the beginning with as
much rapidity as. the dry elements lin
congress and the dry elements outside
Of congress can compel.
It is asserted by leaders Of the Anti
Saloon League about the capitol that
the dry, sentiment has grown mater
tally since the last session of congress.
They insist that some Of the foremost
OF their measures win prevail this ses-

fact that5it requires a two- thirds vote
in order to submit IL toyriIe .iss
puts it on a different basis from legis-
zlation which requires only majority
vote
Anti Saloon League chiefs predict
the passage OF prohibition for the dis
trict. They insist the leaders Of the
liquor forces expect it, too, and will be
content to make 1t take effect at as
remote a date as possible.
Many petitions are coming for pro-
hibition in Hawaii. Congress takes q
less acute interest in Hawaii than 1t
does in the District Of Columbia.
Whether as many votes can be mus
tered for prohibition in Hawaii as for
district prohibition is doubtful.

The proposed changes In the internal
revenue laws grow out Of the fact that
the federal government issues licenses
to sell liquor regardless Of state laws
which prohibit it. The revision Of the
