ARE Between FIRES
Volleys of Letters From Home" Urge
Senators Both Ways on Dry Bill.

Washington, June 2S.-Not in
years, according to several senators,
has such interest been aroused as in
dicated by kilograms and letters on
the prohibition issue, involved in the
food bill. Thousands of kilograms
poured in upon senators today advo-
eating and opposing the bone dry plan
with a majority in opposition. The
communications come from farmers,
merchants, labor unions, temperance
societies, municipal officers and or
CARNATIONS. Wisconsin farmers and
agricultural organizations telegraphed
today that thousands of barley had
been planted there in expectation of
continuance of brewing. Labor unions
are emphasizing the loss of employ
ment from closing of breweries and
municipal officers the loss of local Ii
cense revenue. Many of the kilograms
are in identical language, indicating
organized opposition.
Personal efforts are also being
made upon legislation, especially that
which would stop brewing. Attorneys
and other representatives of national
brewing and distilling organizations
are busy in the Hobbies and offices, in
terviewing senators. The drys also
are active, with leaders of the Nation
al Anti-Saloon league engaged in per-
Sonal solicitation of senators.
