BREWERS FIGHT
DRASTIC POINTS
in FOOD BILL
Seek Revision to Permit
Manufacture of Malt Liquor
and Wines

Washington, June 26.-The food
control bill WAS taken up to-day by
the Senate Agricultural subcommlt-
tee with many obstacles confronting
1T, chief among which were the dras-
tic prohibition features of the meas
ure as it passed the House. The
committee hopes to present it's draft
OF the bill to the Senate tomorrow
and prospects are that important
notifications, designed to overcome
some OF the objections to the meas
ure, will be made.
1t was expected that the princi-
pal fight would revolve around the
House provision to prohibit further
manufacture of foodstuffs into in.
toXicants of any kind with deter
mined efforts made to secure a re-
vision which would permit manufac-
ture of malt liquors and wines.
In the hope of saving beer and
light wines from the prohibition on
slaught a desperate fight is to be
made in the Senate to prevent the
adoption of the House amendment
which would make the country bone
dry during the war.
Argue on Revenue
Senators opposed to the bone dry
proposal argue that it's enactment
would deprive the government of an
estimated revenue of half a bill
lion dollars year. This estimate is
based on receipts under present taxes
and under tn tax proposed by the
Senate finance committee, doubling
the present levies on beer and wines.
1t is pointed out, however, that
the liquor section of the revenue bill,
while it would virtually end all dis
tilling for the period of the war,
would not prevent the selling of
whisky and distilled spirits. And,
IT is asserted, as the tax is not paid
until the liquor it taken out of bond,
the revenue would continue unabat-
ed until the present stores of dis
titled spirits are exhausted. The
Senate amendment would end the
consumption of grain which might
be used for food for making distilled
spirits, but it would not, Senators
point out, cut off any revenue.
"Drys" Confident
Prohibition leaders, however, are
confident that they will have a clear
majority to pass the House bone dry
amendment when the test comes.
Due to the fact that much depends
on the parliamentary situation, and
the precise form which the motion
takes, there are endless possibilities
of delay to the food bill as a result
of this fight. There are Senators in
favor of the food bill who would see
the bill thrown in the waste basket
rather than have it passed with the
prohibition amendment tackled on.

Lillian Howard, to Captain Thomp-

pretty young girls charged with va
grancy She, in company with Alice
Miller. of Reading, was arrested
Saturday afternoon after the police
had discovered they had no place to
sleep and had been spending the
nights in the park.
Both girls told stories almost the
same, except in detail, giving reasons
for leaving home that made even the
Captain admit he could not blame
them.
Never Knew Sympathy
The younger of the two girls said
she had been forced to work for
three years, starting in the kitchen
of a private family when only 10
years of age. She said her mother
had been married three times. the
last to a man with wnom it was inn
possible to live. Neglect and no
home sympathy, she said. was all she
ever knew.
When the Captain was endeavor-
ing to get in communication with
Reading the one girl sobLed, What
could they say about US in Reading,
when ones own relatives do not
care what becomes of you how could
you expect the police to care"
Wanted to Get Married
Lillian Howard admitted she had
been in the Beulah Anchorage because
she and young friend had intend
nd n ~ I'D. a
AS she was under aSe, the pair were
stopped and she was taken to the
Anchorage. After that she said she
didn't have much to live for.
When they had sufficient money
to get out of Reading they deter
mined to come to this city and get
away from old associations. When
they arrived in Harrisburg and paid
their room rent a week in advance
they did not have enough left to
buy food. Both girls had worked in
hosiery mills and before they could
get work were without funds. After
that they spent the most of the time
in the park and on one occasion
slept on a front porch during the
night.
When reminded they did not
show any signs of such a life they
declared they had gone to the Penn
syNania station every morning to
brush away the effects of a night
on a park bench. The police were
utterly at a loss to take care of
them. The police station does not
have a matron.
Officials agreed while they had no
technical charge against the girls
IL was not the right thing to let
them wander on the streets without
funds or a place to sleep. When ar
rested they had had nothing but a
sandwich for breakfast at 6 o'clock
in the morning. The one girl was
finally taken care of by a local in
stitution for girls. and the matron
said she was not only apparently a
very good girl but an unusually in
dustrious one. Police officers say
that while she was retained in the
police station for almost an entire
day she never ceased the crocheting
which she carried with her. The
other girl was released to Reading
authorities.
