In discussing the future, Mr.. Muir

ed that tangible results clearly in
the interest of the public welfare
would result.
There has recently been a get
together movement of the national

interstate highways resulting in the
formation of the associated high
ways of America. These coordinat-

UNITED SUPPORT
FOR ROAD BILL
American Auto Association
Says Sentiment is Crystal
ling For Townsend Act.

WASHINGTON. April 12.-Many
national organizations interested in
one way or another in highways i'm
provement will support in the next
congress what is known as the
Townsend bill. This is evident from
the numerous inquiries reviewed by
the American Automobile associa-
tion from all parts of the country.

thus outlines the support that will
undoubtedly accumulate behind the
bill which will call for a federal sys-
tenn OF interstate highways.
while it is TO be expected that
the 6.OOO.O 900 motor car owners in
an organized form should contend
most vigorously for a maximum FED
eral concern in roads progress, there
are other national associations the
members of which have an equally
great interest in highways improve
ment. For instance, the national
Grange would approach the subject
from the transportation viewpoint,
since it profits the farmer little TO
raise crops which cannot be eco
nomically delivered to market. The
United States chamber Of commerce,
with it's powerful local chambers
and thousands of individual mem
bers all over the country. gives evil
dCnce of it's interest in the subject
by adding TO its committees one
which will devote its activities to

Labor Against Drys

How the news that the attempt to
make England dry" is definitely to be
made will be received by the general
public may be easily forecast from the
views so readily expressed on the very
much mllder step of maintaining the
wartime reduction of the hours for
the sale of alcoholic refreshment. I'm
medlately the armistice was signed, an
extension of those hours was demanded
and was soon forthcoming Moreover.
the reduction of hours was purely a
war measure and the extreme BODY of
temperance enthusiasts had nothing to
do with it. Nor is it likely that the
cause of prohibition will derive much
sympathy from labor.
Ben Tillett discussed the question
by asserting that teetotal organizations
had never concerned themselves with
the really vital questions OF better
housing, better wages, or better edu-
cation for the working people Nor
had they ever advanced an argument
for scientific dietary or a better food
supply
The campaign for prohibition would
be that Of wealthy fanatics, and would
oe met by strikes of violence, or both.
AS for introducing American propa-
e"tud' INC ldHdtlcdI americans would
have quite enough work to do in Amer
lca in dealing with the social unrest
provoked by the unconstitutional and
unreasonable attitude of the state to
the employees Tie workers of this
country We're already CALLED enough by
the profteering in food and drink
Until the members of temperance So
cieties came to respect the liberties of
their fellow-men they would make little
headway.
