That the prohibition forces would seek
to force consideration of the Sheppard
bill by the House without 1t being re-
ferred to the District Committee in the
event of it's passage in the Senate, was
the declaration yesterday OF man close
10 the directors of the prohibition fight
Despite the rapidly increasing obstacles
TO the passage OF the bill in the Senate
its sponsors profess absolute confidence
of success there, and are seeking a
modus operandi to assure its considera-
ton at an early date by the entire House
1t is realized that, unless the bill comes
up for debate in the House before No
vember its chances of passage will be
considerably lessened. Many members
whose districts contain a heavy prohibit
ton vote are anxious to postpone the
Issue until after election. The House
District Committee is recognized as the
postponement because OF this, prohibi-
tion forces hcoe to keep the bill from
going ito the committee. In the event OF
failure in this, a determined effort will
be made to force a report on the measure
by threatening to have the House dis
charge the committee from consideration
OF the bill.
Precedent for Procedure.
It Is recalled that once before bill
was ordered reported before the commit
tee TO which it had been referred had an
opportunity TO table It. This was in the
tight over the Vreeland emergency cur
rency act, when the House. by a two
thirds vote. discharged the Banking and
Currency Committee from consideration
simultaneously with the introduction OF
the bill. 1t is extremely doubtful, how
ever, whether the prohibitionists could
muster a two-thirds vote in the House.

Dry Forces Plan to Keep Sheppard
Bill Away F rom District Committee

Another possibility is that the rules
committee may be asked for a special
rule to discharge the committee. This is
a course which has never been adopted.
as far as could be learned yesterday. II
the rules committee should report out a
rule discharging the committee a straight
majority vote would be sufficient to finish
the job. However 1t was declared yes
terday that any attempt on the part OF
the rules committee to arrogate to itself
the authority OF virtually discharging a
committee would meet with storm of
protest.
In the Senate opposition to the bill is
Caucusing in telephone booths and sharp
ening as many different knives as prom
Use any hope of effective use. The most
determined fight will be made around an
attempt TO incorporate referendum
rider on the floor.
In this connection ii is suggested that
the extremely drastic nature OF the bill
may bring about its defeat. While Sena-
tor Sheppard has announced that he is
willing to make changes in the measure
to protect certain interests in the Dis
trict, other prohibition Senators are get
ting ready to oppose any change. They
take the position that they have been
called upon to support certain measure
and that they stand ready t. do so. but
that they do not propose TO stand for
lot Of special exceptions not contem-
plated in the original measure.
Senator sheppard, whose name Is at
tached to the bill, announced yesterday
his opposition TO any referendum on the
measure, and apparently his position is
that of number OF rabid prohibitionists
However. as the drastic nature of the bill
becomes more generally recognized, the
strength OF the opposition and the refer
endum proposal is increasing daily.
