day Of more than twenty New York,

bankers, who protested against the
operation Of the proposed prohibition
amendments Of the food administra-
tion bill under which the President is
authorized and directed TO cOmman-
deer all distilled beverage liquors in
bond. The bankers we're represented
by Judge HUMPHREYS Of Louisville as

They said that more than $780,
100000 in discounted commercial
paper was put in jeopardy by the
proposed Redistribution plan. They
stated that they had loaned up TO
the limit Of their privileged 10 per
cent. on paper on which the collateral
was the warehouse receipts Of the dis
tillers and holders Of liquor in bond
Under the law, they said, this credit
could not be stretched and also they
were prohibited from making addi-
tional loans 10 the same parties
whereby the liquor might be removed
| from bond.
Asked az to how the proposed
amendment providing for Just com
pensation and the adjudication OF the
claims OF the distillers and liquor
holders in the courts would operate
the bankers insisted that this did not
serve 70 correct the menace. II the
whiskey men demand more time on
the basis of having to wait on cour,

I could see only the outline of her revealed against the gleam of the lantern, as McCann clambered upward In advance. I could hear the grooming of the bulkhead to the strain, and realized that the tim bers could not long hold against the immense weight.
