PROH|B|T|ON|STS
Of HOUSE PASS
!. DRASTIC BILL
Put Enforcement Measure Thru
by 2S7 to 100
VETO OF 1T is FEARED
II Is Expected That Obstacles to Its
Passage Will Be Met
in Senate

Washington, July 22.-By a vote OF
nearly three 10 one the House, weary
OF talk on prohibition today passed
bill for it's enforcement, with provision
and penalties so drastic as to bring
from the men who framed it the pre-
diction that it would never suppress
the liquor traffic on American soil.
Exactly 100 members-52 Democrats
and 4S Republicans-refused to sup
port it. Against this even hundred
the prohibitionists, putting up a SOLID
front to the very last, polled 2S7 votes,
and Just as the result was announced
little girl in the gallery, too young to
know what it was all about, leaned
over the railing and waved a tiny
American flag. 1t was not q signal
for that, but the House broke into ap-
plause, the galleries, only half filled
meanwhile looking on in silence.
A broad smile spread over the faces
of the prohibition leaders, for their
work in the House was ended and the
measure was ready for the Senate
where many of its restrictions may be
modified or stricken out. The cloak
room rumor persisted that all OF this
legislative effort might end on the
shoal of presidential veto, although
the general view was that it would be
signed as passed.
Before the House put the bill on its
passage one final but feeble hand was
reached forth to strike it down and
put in its place briefer and more lib
eral measure. This took the form of
three-paragraphed bill by Representa-
tive Igoe, Democrat of Missouri intro
duced some days ago, and offered to-
day in the form of motion to recon-
init, which meant its substitution for
the general enforcement. measure, If
the House saw fit But the House did
not Mr. Igoe's motion was defeated
255 to 1876, and this vote analyzed
meant that at least 36 members who
favored a more liberal bill took the
more drastic one later when there was
no other choice.
These were not unexpected reversals
in the individual vote. Representative
Pou Democrat of North Carolina, an
ardent prohibitionist, voted against
the bill after having pointed out that
a law so severe as not to permit a
farmers wife to make bottle of
blackberry wine for her own use never
could be enforced.

Because Of Strike of Part of the
Working Force.

'N''9 SiNN'
Hartford, Conn. July 22.-With be-
tween 800 and 900 of its 400 employ
es out on strike, the Underwood
Typewriter company closed its fac
tory at noon today until a. nj. on
July 81. In a statement posed in the
factory today by Works Manager
Charles d. Rice, announcing the shut
down, it was stated that all poorly
rated employees of the company who
reformed to work July 81 and continu-
ed their connection with the company
would be given half pay for the shut
down period
A factory official said the shutdown
was undoubtedly due to embarrass-
ment caused by the strike. Polish
ers, platers, adjusters and assembl-
ers are out, thus rendering difficult
the turning out of finished machines.
The men and women on strike de-
mand increased wages and an eight
hour day. The working hours are
now nine. In this connection, Mr..
Rice announces the payment of two
10 per cent bonuses weekly as in the
past, also an increase of 10 per cent
in wages for those who so to work
on July 81 1t is stated specifically
that there will be no change in work
ing hours. The company's profit-shar
ing plan is to be continued.
Strike leaders at noon declined to
make any statement concerning the
situation, saying that the ex
ecutive committee would meet at 4
O'Clock to talk it over. One paragraph
in Mr., Rice's statement, to the eff
feet that on July 81 all employees who
have left and desire to return TO
work must apply as individuals, is

Hoss Sense In This

The Danville Messenger had
the following this week, which is
true as gospel and mighty good
boss sense, too:
"Swinebroad always sells" is
common expression heard
when the sale of farm is men
toned. Why? The answer is
easy Swinebroad advertises.
And he doesn't simply pick out
his favorite newspaper in which
to advertise; he advertises in all
of them. That is good sense and
good business judgment. Any
one can tell you that no one
newspaper has ALL the circula-
ton in Central Kentucky. The
Daily Messenger has large cir
culation and gets results for its
advertisers, but we do not claim
to have all of the subscribers in
Boyle and adjoining counties.
If we did the people would call
us liars, and we would be. If
you have anything to sell, do
like Observation-Disclosures in all
of the newspapers. 1t pays to
advertise if you advertise right.
