BY JOSEPH p. AMIN,

possible blockade of District busi-
ness in the House Committee by the
injection of the prohibition fight is a
contingency which members are seek
ing to avoid by speeding up the most
necessary District legislation before
the Sheppard bill is sent over from the
Senate.
1t is pointed out that the District
committee remained inactive for near
ly eighteen months the last time the
Sheppard bill was before 1t, members
refusing to attend meetings because of
the necessity of considering the pro-
hibition measure.
Those opposing the Sheppard bill in
the committee make IL very clear that
II there is any question of their abiI-
ity to outvote the "drys" they will
break the quorum at every meeting.
Retaliating, the "drys" will be sure to
insist upon a quorum for the transac-
tion of other District business and the
net result will be complete inactivity.
Many members OF the committee feel
that every effort should be made to
clear the committee calendar of all
important bills before the Senate dis
poses of the Sheppard bill and sends
1t over to the House
A District board of accountancy, upon
