Only Veto by President viii
Block Bone Dry Bill
Now Assured
VETS ARE FURIOUS

Washington, July 11.0'Bone-dry''
prohibition of the manufacture and
sale of intoxicating liquor thruout the
United States for the remainder of the
war will 90 into effect on Jan. l next
unless President Wilson defeats the
proposed action of congress.
The road to immediate passage of
the measure, for which tine prohihj-
tionists have been fighting for several
months, was cleared today when the
senate, by vote of 36 to 33, went on
record in favor of attaching the ma
tion-wide wartime prohibition rider
to the pending agricultural extension
bill. By this vote the senate reversed
the chairs ruling of the rider out of
order
The indications are that the senate
will adopt the prohibition amendment,
possibly tomorrow, by an even larger
majority. The concurrence of the
house is regarded as foregone con-
clusion, inasmuch as that body initial
ed the move for war prohibition by
adopting an amendment to the pending
bill designed to suspend the liquor
traffic. ...-..-.... ,.....-.
The "wets'' considering such des-
perate tactics as filibustering the pas
sage of the legislation, virtually con-
cede their. defeat in congress and are
falling back on the hope that Presi-
dent Wilson will veto the bill on the
ground that deprivation Of alcoholic
beverages will create disaffection
among the workers in vital war indus
tries.
