PROHIBITION FOR
 NATION WILL BE
 LEFT 10 STATES
Rv HIGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, July 24.-(SpeciaI)--I is regarded as probable tonight that Congress, in the present extraordi- nary session, will submit to the states proposed amendment to the consti- tuition prohibiting the manufacture and sale of alcoholic liquors in the United States and it's subdivisions.
 Tomorrow, in all probability, Sena- tor Sheppard of Texas will ask unani- nous consent that the proposed amend ment be considered and a date for final vote on its passage be set.
 It is learned that opponents of the proposed amendment, who, by parlia- mentary artifice could easily encom- pass it's defeat, will offer no opposi- tion to it's consideration, and will in- terpose no objection to the Sheppard plan that a date be set for a final test of it's strength. Should it pass the Senate it's advocates in the House promise to secure it's passage through that branch of Congress.
 Advocates of nationwide prohibition by constitutional amendments have a majority in the Senate The passage of the proposed amendment through the Senate by a two-thirds majority would, if at all, be by narrow mar gin.
 While no compromise, it seems, is responsible for the above develop ments, it is regarded as significant that the defeat of the Shoot amendment to the food control bill is generally pre- dicted. That amendment would re- quire the President to commander and pay for all liquor bonded in govern ment warehouses.

HAVE REACHED THE LIMIT

We have done what we could to keep up the production of coal in Alabama, but, as stated before, on account of the Reorganization that now exists by req son of the attempting to forcibly organ ize the men, our production was much less in June than in May and will be very greatly less in July than in June, and this notwithstanding the fact that we have put up with all kinds of an- noyances and trouble that we might avoid the appearance of anything which would lead to cessation of work and the reduction of production. We have, how ever, reached the limit, and will no longer countenance the driving away from our works by threats of violence, or other intimidations, of those men who will not under any circumstances join any labor organization, but large numbers Of men will leave, as many have already and go into other lines of work, and the production will be still further de- creased.
 ''The troubles and difficulties set out above for the Pratt Consolidated Coal company are being daily experienced by the other coal operators, some to a greater degree, some to a less degree but no one has not suffered from the dis organization and the disruption of work ing forces
 That you may know of the disorder existing, the real lawlessness, and the threatening attitude of these agitators, you will take note of the fact that this morning, ignoring the edicts of the court wherein Judge Sharpe granted injunc- tion restraining interference, these leaders forced men at work at Maxine to leave their jobs of work on tow boats, barges and railroad tracks"

MAXINE TROUBLE HAS REACHED LIMIT

Sugar Refinery company at New Or leans. Closing down this mine ties up all of our tow boats and barges, ana will seriously inconvenience the Ameri- can Sugar Refinery company.
 T learned that MT II. H. Morgan came to this district from the west and talks a great deal about his participa- ton in labor fights in that part of the country. 1t is not known positively that he is member of the Industrial Work CTS of the World organization.
 Since the disorganization incident to the attempts to organize the coal miners of this district, the production of coal has been lessened from 10 to 30 per cent Every night men said to be carrying arms proWl through the mining camps Tightening the women and men who have not consented to join the organiza- tion, and if this kind of activity is not restrained, the production of coal will be further curtailed.
 At one of the mines near Birming- ham, several white men went through the camp. notifying the women who were at home that they must keep their husbands out of the mines unless they joined some labor organization.
 We are rapidly approaching state of affairs that has always followed the attempt to forcibly organize the miners III Iiilo uiSlilCt. WG nave Hdu peace TOT nearly 10 years, and until organizers and agitators from other districts have poured into the district and attempted to organize the men. Understand, am not objecting to the organization of men for any peaceable purpose, if done in lawful manner, but the most super flcial examination of conditions existing in this district will show that the at- tempt to organize here is far from peaceable and that it is an armed one.
 T assume that if the men at Maxine mine are affiliated with any regular or ganization, that they are now uncon- trollable by the officers of that organi- zation and will continue to be uncontroll- able, and that it will not be possible for us to operate our property under the absolute control and dictation of men of that character.

This will mean, according to Mr.. Hur-

the control of the port representatives.
of the Shipping Board, who will have
full authority over their loading and
dispatch to convoy. This plan will
eliminate. it is predicted, delays caused
by lack Of coordination in loading and
in moving vessels to convoy, and Will
greatly facilitate the efforts OF the
Shipping Board to get a higher ef-
fciency out OF Americas tonnage.
There are four essential considera-
tions in the overseas transport prob
lem. said Chairman Hurley. First, there
must be the expeditions movement OF
freight TO the seaboards; then ports
and piers must be kept free Of conges-
ton and must be capable of prompt
handling of goods consigned to ship
board; there must be rapid movement
to convoy, and. finally, there must be
efficient unloading at the European
docks and prompt dispatch of the YES
sci on its return voyage to America.
A plan for the coordination Of va
rious transportation agencies to meet
this problem is now under considera-
ton by the government, and should be
formulated within the next week, Mr..
Hurley added
