POLICE PATROL
SCENE OF RIOT
One Killed, Dozen Hurt in
Clash With Sugar Refiner-
les Strikers

Philadelphia, Feb. ga large de-
tail of policemen and men in plain
clothes We're on duty to-day along the
Delaware river front in the vicinity
of the sugar refineries where one man
was killed and more than a dozen per-
sons injured last night in a clash be-
tween strikers and their sympathizers
and the police. Men who went to
work at the Franklin and McCahan
refineries, where there has been u
strike for several weeks, were not mo-
Tested and crowds were not permitted
to congregate near the scene of last
nights trouble.
The police are searching for the
leaders in the riot and hope to make
number of arrests to-day. Only one
arrest, that of a woman, was made
last night She is charged with in
citing to riot and will be given fur
ther hearing tomorrow. She is al
of women who held a meeting in hall
late yesterday which resulted in the
demonstration at the refineries.
Demand Increase
Vain efforts have been made by me-
diators from the Pennsylvania State
Department of Labor and Industry to
bring about a settlement of the, strike
which affects three refineries here.
The strikers demand an increase of
several cents an hour. but the sugar
companies have refused TO grant it on
the ground that they could not do so
without increasing the price of sugar.
The companies claim that many of the
men have returned to work while the
strike leaders declare that the places
of the strikers were filled by negroes
brought from other cities.
Because of a sympathetic strike of
several hundred longshoremen car
goes of raw sugar from Cuba have
been diverted to New York.

BONE DRY" BILL
PASSES HOUSE
Vote For Abstinence Will
Affect Nineteen States
of the Union

Washington, Feb. 22.-The foes of
prohibition joined hands with radical
"drys" in the House of Representa-
tives yesterday and passed the most
drastic total abstinence legislation ever
-321 to ~. The provision has al
ready passed the Senate. and so is
practically sure to become law.
The result of this action will be
TO make nineteen of the twenty four
prohibition states bone dry"
The amendment provides that there
may be no shipments of intoxicating
liquors to states which have passed
laws prohibiting the manufacture and
sale of Intoxicating liquors. States
which permit the manufacture, but
not the sale, are not affected.
1t is the most radical legislation
lawyers say, that Congress has at
tempted as affecting the states.
Both the vets and the drys think
they have put something au"oss" on
the other. The vets, in supporting
the legislation, claim it will have the
effect of checking the prohibition wave
in the United States. declaring no more
states will vote dry when it's voters
realize such action means no liquor
can be had for personal use" The
drys, on the other hand, declare the
bone dry" law will hasten nation
wide prohibition by impelling the now
dry states to begin q big campaign
for the prohibition amendment to the
Federal Constitution.
Neutral observers evinced the great
est interest in the latest tactics of the
vets. A New York member express
ed it in his homely fashion: Maybe
they are biting off more than they can
chew" The vets, in his opinion, may
find out to their sorrow that they have
only greatly increased the bone dry
territory,
A thrill of fear swept through Off
Cial Washington, including both
houses of Congress, when it was de-
clared that as soon as the Sheppard
prohibition bill for the District of
Columbia became law Washington,
itself, would become bone dry" An
amendment at the last minute saved
the town.
