Will INCLUDE
WOODEN SHIPS
Program of New Shipping
Board Calls For Both
Wood and Steel

Washington. Aug. 1.-The govern
ment's shipbuiIding program, as il
will be carried out by the reorganiZ-
ed shipping board, provides for as
many wooden ships as the country
can build. This was made clear yes
terday to producers OF southern pine
lumber called here for a conference
looking toward speeding up their
output of ship timbers.
War demands require the con-
struction of every Yessel-wooden
and steel-that American yards can
turn out, the lumbermen were told
by Rear Admiral Capps, general
manager of the shipping boards
fleet corporation.
The conference disclosed that al
though the Southern Pine associa-
ton pledged enough lumber for 100
ships, its members have been slow
in furnishing the cut. This was ex-
planned by some as due to unusual
sizes dmanded, but others admitted
that higher prices to be had else
where made many plants reluctant
to work on government contracts.
After Chairman Hurley of the
board. Admiral Capps and a number
of producers had appealed to the
patriotism of the industry to furnish
the government with its require
ments. officers of the pine associa-
ton declared they d. were certain
there would be little more difficulty
in getting deliveries.
The shipping board may abandon
the plan of Major General Cocktails,
formerly manager of the corpora
ton, for the construction of two
government-owned shipyards, to
build fabricated steel ships. Ships
will be fabricated, but the work may
be done in private yards to be com
mandeered. ReGuisitioning of ton
mage now under construction will
not be attempted until the probable
cost Is ascertained.
The problem of obtaining masters
and crews, was taken up at a con-
ference yesterday between govern
ment officials and shipowners, rep
resentatives Of masters associations
and the seamen's union. The confer
ence decided to name a committee
representing employers, employees
and the government departments to
work out an understanding by which
more men for ships" may be OBJ
tanned.

To Insure Passage
tRy Associated Press.l

Washington, Aug. 2, A resolu-
ton for submission to the states of a
prohibition amendment to the federal
terday by the senate. The vote was
65 to 20, eight more than the neces-
sary two thirds.
AS adopted the resolution contains
a provision that the states must be
asked to ratify the amendment with
in six years. The house still must
act on the resolution.
The proposed constitutional
amendment is The first initiated by
congress since that providing for
popular election of United States
senators, approved in 1911. A few
years ago, a similar resolution in the
house seceived majority, but failed
of the required two thirds.
Expected to Pass House.
AS adopted the resolution was sub
mitted by Senator Sheppard of
Texas, Democrat, and would add the
following article to the federal
constitutions:

portation of intoxicating liquors
within, the importation thereof into,
or the expectation thereof from the
united states, ana all CeTTlLOEy SUI

beverage purposes, is hereby pro-

This article shall be in operative

an amendment to the constitution by
the legislatures of the several states,
as provided in the constitution, with
in six years from the date of the
submission hereof to the states by
the congress.
THE congress holl have power to
enforce this article by appropriate
legislation"
Debate Perfunetory.
Although most of the debate on
the resolution had been perfunctory,
the usual scenes marketing the end
of warmly contested legislative fights
were re-enacted. Brief, spirited
speeches, under a 10-minute limit,
were made. ..
On the final roll call, several sem
ators said to oppose prohibition for
the resolution, desiring, they said, to
have the wet and dry battle trans

ANOTHER BURDEN FOR WILMINGTON.

The Legislature has seen NJ to override the scnt-

only imposed upon us the turmoil, agitation and OK
OF a special election. but has added the sddl-
toual burden Of a special election board and special
registration for holding the election. Every ncwspa-
IN the city protested against this arbitrary action
not because all the newspapers are in favor OF tho
license syslem-but because they consider the pro-
posa TO be a defiance OF the home rule principle and
invasion Of local rights as we'll as an unwarronted
ignoring OF the procedure which has always been fol-

PROHIBITION AND THE
REFERENDUM IN DELAWARE
II we are TO have Statewide prohibition in Della
it should come a result Of a referendum vote
by the electorate Of tho entire State.
It should not come as a result Of arbitrary egsls-
tion by small groups of men in the state senate and
the House OF Representatives who have received no
instructions from their constituents 10 enact such leg
islation.
The referendum principle and the clearly-denned
constitutional procedure recognized fully In one
resubmlssan bill proposed for rural New Castle
county.
The referendum principle is recognized and the
ceary-doned constitutional procedure IS ignored in
the resubmission bill proposed for the city OF VIII
mngton and also in another resubmssion bill pro-
posed for rural New Castle county.
These things being true. certainly the referendum
principle should not be Ignored in any Statewide pro-
hbition bill that may be advanced seriously in either
branch OF our Legislature.
There IS no member OF the Senate or the House who
was elected with instructions to into any plan
which had for ifs object the arbitrary imposition Of
Statewide prohibition upon the people Of Delaware.
Several members were elected with the distinct un-
derstandng that they would vote for resubmisson in
rural New Castle county.
None Of them was elected with the distinct under
standing that he would vote for resubmission in VIII
mngton; nor was there any suggestion that in order
to bring about resubmission here, the methods pre-
scrlbed by the State constitution should be overriden
and the principle OF homo rule violated by attempt
OF out-of-town members to ignore the wishes Of the
Wilmington members in the matter.
It should be borne in mind, however. that in both
the regularly-framed and the rregularly- framed bills
for rural New Castle county, and in the irregularly
framed bill for Wilmington, the referendum prnc-
Die is preserved intact while in the Statewide proh-
billion BIN 20 IS violated In its very feature.

Ardent Prohibition leaders in the Delaware Lcgisla-
iure frankly confess that they intend TO hold what
they have got and TO get all they can.
They have got a good deal from the present session.
The passage OF the Loose bill has been leap forward
apparently. for the Prohibitionsis, but in following
out the proposal TO get an they can, the Prohibition
lists err when they try enforce local option cleo
ton upon the people OF this city in an irregular man
ner.
II tho city is 10 be compelled against tho wishes
Of majority OF the legislative delegation representing
Wilmington TO hold an election there is good reason
why Mr. McNabbs suggestion that tho lower counties
should also be forced 20 vote should have been fol-
lowed What is sauce Tor the goose should be sauce
for the gander. Until This session Of the Legislature
no one seriously contemplated casting aside the gen
orally accepted constitutional provision and COM
polling community TO vote when the community
through its lawful representatives, had expressed no
desire TO vote this matter
prohibltonsts in Delaware would better serve their
cause II they proceeded in perfectly fair manner
IN they followed the ordinary course. They should
not override the principle Of sclgovernmeni that has
worked satisfactorily.
