LABOR LEADERS
| IN DRY PROTEST
Demonstration at Capitol
Tomorrow Will Find
100000 in Line.

The original estimate of 100000
participants ip the anti-prohibition
demonstration by labor on the steps
of the Capitol tomorrow. Flag Day.
will be largely exceeded. according
to members of the committee in
charge of the program at Central
Labor Union headquarters here.
1t is more than probable. II is
stated. that the entire Federation of
Labor delegation at Atlantic City
will come to Washington to back
up the action taken by that organi-
zation In voting wet on dry
propositions.
The fact that the big governing
body OF organized labor. represent
ing nearly 100000 wage-earners. has
gone on record against prohibition
legislation which would throw out OF
employment hundreds OF thousands OF
workers. Is cited by leaders OF ma
tional. international and state labor
bodies here as a terrific argument to
be brought to the doors of Congress.
In the prohibition legislation, II Is de-
clared. organized labor will be a force
in the coming Congressional elections
TO be reckoned as more than a bal
ance of power at the polls.
Since the action OF the American n
Federation OF Labor toward prohibi-
tion legislation. the local committee
planning the demonstration has been
swamped with notices that out-of-
town organizations are headed to-
ward Washington for the parade.
One hundred women of the Personal
Liberty League. of Baltimore. have de-
clared their intention Of marching TO
the Capitol plaza from the Union
Station on the day OF the demonstra-
ton. Women from all over the
United States will participate IN the
public protestation against prohibi-
tion.
