WASHINGTON, Dec. IS. - The
resolution to sumbit to the States a
national prohibition amendment to
the federal constitution was adopted
late Monday by the House.
With a vote of t%wo-thirds required
for its approval the vote Of the
House announced by Speaker Clark
was 282 to 1913, or twenty-five more
than required.
A wild demonstration took place in
the House. W. ]. Bryan appeared on
the floor and took a seat with Repre-
sentative ebb-as-eo~-recipiaN OF
congratulations.
A similar resolution was passed by
the Senate at the last session, but
the House resolution gives the state
legislatures seven years in which to
approve the amendment while that OF
the Senate gives six. A motion to con-
cur in the change will be made in the
Senate today, but if only n men,

President Wilson will take a hand
t. check fulfillment of the railway
strike orders, was the belief here 10
day.
Some believed he would wait until
after tomorrow's session between
brotherhoods representatives ana
railway managers, but others thougnt
he might before then make some
kind of announcement aimed at stall
ing off the great Industrial strife.
His advisers early today did not
know certainly though what he may
have in mind. The presidents con-
dition appeared to be better, but
everything is being done to relieve
him from mental and physical strain.
He is still very weak from his grippe
attack.
The brotherhoods protested before
leaving for New York last night to
be grimly set upon carrying out their
strike plans should the MANAGERS
fail to grant their demands. the
union men say that their progress
siye strike" is such as to give little
inconvenience and suffering to the
public as possible. compatible with
winning their own cause. They
point out that they have openly notl.

The best thing for steady use Is just

You can get nnulsihed cocoanut oil at
