HOUSE COMMITTEE VOTES
FAVODNBLY UPON PROHIBITION
Proposed Constitutional Amendment
Unexpectedly Recommended to
House Of Representatives for Ad0p-
ton.

Washington. Dec. 14-Natlonwlde
prohibition took a long stride toward
congressional consideration today
when the house judiciary committe+
Unexpectedly voted to recommend
adoption of the proposed constitution
al amendment to forbid the manufac-
ture and sale of liquor for beverage
purposes in the United States. Even
the most enthusiastic champions OF
the amendment had not expected IA
vorable action so soon.
How far the resolution will progress
is problematical and administration
leaders doubt that it will reach the
senate in time for action at this ses-
sion. Prohibition advocates are jubi-
liant however. and predict ultimate
adoption of the. resolution and its ref
erence to the legislatures Of the varl-
ous states at an early date. A two
thirds majority in both houses is re-
quired.
Sheppard Rill in Senate.
Coincident with the committees at
ton the Sheppard bill 10 prohibit the
manufacture and sale Of liquor IN the
district Of Columbia became the un-
finished business to be kept before the
senate until disposed Of. AS an
amendment, Senator Underwood has
proposed a referendum to the male
voters OF the District. Senator Kern
of Indiana has added proposal that
women also should participate in the
referendum. A vote on the subject Is
expected in a day or two.
During discussion Of the Sheppard
bill. several senators, among them
Sheppard. Vardaman and Owen, pre-
dicted triumph for the cause OF ma
tionwide prohibition in the near fu-
ture
Fight In Next Congress.
Hardly anyone doubted tonight thai
prohibition will be a dominant execu-
tive issue before the new sixty-fftn
congress if the constitutional amend
ment does not reach a vote this VIII
ter. In the house before the amend
ment can be taken up for considera-
ton a special rule must be adopted
giving it right of way. Representa-
tive Webb, chairman of the judiciary
committee, will ask for such rule
early in January and endeavor to
press the resolution to an early vote.
In the judiciary committee Repre-
sentative Carlin of Virginia, who was
opposed to the resolution at the last
session, voted this time to recommend
its adoption. He will report it to the

c. O.P. HARMONY A FACT
IN PENNSYLVANIA NOW
Truce of Warning Factions Appar-
emily Assured by the Meeting
in Philadelphia.

Complete and effective harmony be-
factions in Pennsylvania is apparently
assured as a result of a meeting in
Philadelphia Friday. when the Ware
and McNicholl elements got together
in an Endorsement of the republican
national ticket. the senatorial candi-
dacy of Philander C. Knox and the
state ticket heretofore agreed upon
Reports of the meeting show a spirit
of cooperation which the republicans
construe as a guaranty of a great re-
publican victory in November.
The combined progressive and repub-
lican vote in Pennsylvania in 1912 was
720,731, against 395,619 democratic. The
state has thirty-eight votes in the
electoral college, second only in num-
ber to New York, which has forty
ave.
The leading progressive newspaper in
Pennsylvania, the Philadelphia North
American. in intimating its support of
the republican national ticket, serves
warning that 1t is for this occasion
only, and prophesies subsequent re-
organization of the progressive party.
The paper says, editorially. of the
progressives that "a vast ma jority of
those who orsthese reasons will vote
for Mr.. Hughes, will do so while de-
testing as profoundly as they did in
1912 the management of the or
ganization, and while persuaded that
they are putting vigor only temporar-
lily into a party which is soulless. deca
dent and destined toward a well de-
served extinction

GRANTS LEAVE WITH PAY
FOR PERIOD OF 50 DAYS
House Passes Bill in the Interest Of
United States Navy Yard
Employees.

Thirty days leave with pay is grant
ed to all employees at United States
navy yards. gun factories, naval sta
tions and arsenaIs by the terms of the
Talbot bill. which passed the House
yesterday. The measure carried a COM
mittee amendment providing that 'it
shall be lawful to allow pro rata leave
only to those serving twelve consecu-
tive months or more The bill allows
the heads of divisions to use their dis
cretion as to the time when the leave
can best be allowed to employees. AS
introduced the bill gave permission
to grant pro rata leave with pay TO
employees serving fractional parts of a
year.
Report on the Measure.
The report from the naval affairs
committee. written by Representative
Farr of Pennsylvania, contains the fol-
lowing:
Under existing law mechanics and
laborers in navy yards receive fifteen
days leave of absence without for
feiture of pay. while the clerical forces
in the executive departments at Wash
ington receive thirty days leave. as
engraving and printing, government
printing office. immigration service and
customs service. About 10000 employees
of the government are now enjoying
the status of thirty days leave of alb
sence without forfeiture of pay.
The committee believes that this dis
elimination against the employees at the
navy yards, gun factories, naval sta
tions and arsenals should not continue
longer and that the increase to them
of the leave of absence from fifteen
days. as now granted, to thirty days
would be proper and just"

WANT THE DEPARTMENTS
IN FEDERAL BUILDINGS
Senators Urge Early Action by Com
mission Provided For in Sun
dry Civil Bill.

Senator Gallinger and Senator Hoke
Smith strongly urged yesterday. during the
consideration of the agricultural ap-
preparation bill, that the new public
buildings commission provided for in
the sundry civil bill just passed get
to work soon on plans for permanent
government owned quarters for all the
federal departments in the District of
Columbia. An item of s13s. .6Ss for rent
for the buildings used by the Depart
ment of Agriculture in the District of
Columbia was under consideration at
the time. The Senate committee had
increased the House provision from
si23.ss9 for this purpose, and Senator
Smoot OF Utah demanded to know the
reason for the increase.
Needs of Forest Service.
Senator Gore. chairman of the COM
nittee. explained that the forest service
that it was figured that II a sufficient
appropriation was made a new building
would be constructed by private capital
which could be leased for a long period
by the department The Senate finally
agreed TO increase of $4,000 over
tis. House bill though the opinion was
freely expressed that the rent bills of
the government in the District were
entirely too large, and that the gov
eminent should make every effort to
erect and maintain its own buildings
