Specidi Despatch TO TEE SITS.

Specrdl Despatch 10 TEE SuN,
ALBANY, Feb. 3.---Twos echoes OF the
prohibition ratification fight were heard
In the Assembly tonight. The first
came when Charles u. Donohue of New
York. the Democratic leader. raised a
point OF order that the Assembly did not
have In it's possession at the time II rati-
fled the prohibition amendment any Off
cial notification of its passage by Con-
gress. Speaker Sweet Immediately ruled
the point of order not well taken.
Just then there was a commotion in
the rear of the chamber. Three husky
doorkeepers were seen carrying a woman

the chamber, but disturbance was pre-
vented by Speaker Sweet Two minutes
later the woman came in again. and this
time five men had to carry her out.
She gave the name of Mrs. Ellen ].

Senator Moses's Sarcasm.

Senator Moses On. H in a sarcastic
speech said the Council of Vienna, which
made the peace that marked the end OF
the Napoleonic era, had been beset by
just such an array OF glittering abstract
promises OF a brand new millennium TO
be the outgrowth of that conference. At
that time. he said. Alexander I. of Rus
STA was the proponent Of a league OF ma
tons. Senator Moses said:
I'VE find Alexander described by his
closest companion. CZartorski-who, as
rear as / can make out. was the Col
House of that era--as one OF the group
who had brought over into the nine
teenth century the illusions of the eigh-
teenth and who felt that In their own
particular formula they possessed the
remedy for all the ills from which man
Kind suffer: that their particular pana-
cea was a touchstone to cure all the Ills
OF humanity. and that--to use the strik-
ing phrase OF Czartorski---a few sacra-
mental phrases were all that were nee
essary to solve any problems growing
cut of the relations OF the people.
I'VE find that very closely paralleled
here. We md the description OF Alex
ander paralleled further when Czartorski
said. as recall. that the Car was will
ing that every one should be free pro-
vided that every one should do as he
wished"

who quit work or were locked out. he
said. but none OF these will go 70 work

Albert L. Wyman. secretary OF the
Silk Employers Association. the central
body of the seven branches OF the Manu-
facturers Association OF Silk Associations
OF America, said the manufacturers or
Cinally favored the War Labor Board
settling the dispute. but insisted that
the workers continue at work fifty hours
a week in the interval. During the after
noon the manufacturers had meeting
at which they concluded TO put the whole
matter up TO the War Labor Board. he
said. without imposing any restrictions
whatever.
Before this announcement was made
Magnat declared the workers wouldn',
consent TO talk things over with the
War Lab Board unless they could go
back to the mills with the guarantee
that they would be obliged to work only
81 hours.
In his statement issued on behalf OF
the silk manufacturers, Mr.. Wyman said
Il is out OF the question for Paterson
10 continue one handicap after another
by the shortening Of its hours while
several hundred other silk mill towns
continue to work longer hours.
Chief Of Police John Tracey sent po-
l!cemen to all the mills az the opening

for duty at 80 O'Clock. half an hour
late they found the doors locked. At

WASHINGTON, Feb. Grain dealers
appearing to-day before the House Agri-
culture Committee proposed that the
Government pay the guaranteed price OF
s2.26 a bushel for the 1919 wheat crop
and sell II to the consumer at the world
market price, which they estimated would
be about s1.25.
The witnesses generally believed this
plan would cost the Government prob
ably $3.50. 100000. but said this loss
was preferable to any attempt on the
part OF the Government TO maintain an
artificial price.
Representative Lever OF South Caro-
lima suggested three other plans: That
the wheat movement be entirely on the
pre-wa- basis that the movement poss!-
bly, be restricted by the Government
being authorized to sell or buy so as TO
prevent manipulation. and that the do
mestc movement be entirely on the pre-
war basis with the export movement IN
der Federal control
Dealers Arc Opposed.
The committee was holding hearings
on the bill prepared by A. W. Glasgow
counsel for the Food Administration. In
culture. The dealers strongly opposed
continuation Of the Food Admn;stra-
TONS grain corporation as provided In
the bill. They. however, urged continual
ton Of the corporation for buying and
selling tho crop
Chairman Lever also announced his
disapproval of the rnea sure as drawn,
declaring that it granted broader pow
ers than those of the food control act.

Trade declared the proposal was wi
cious." while grain dealers testified that
Mr.. Glasgow had disregarded their sug-
gestions and drafted bill comforting

a. f. Reynolds. Of Charlottesville,
Ind, chairman OF the Legislative Com
mittee OF the I'll ain Dealers National As
ISOLATION, said a crop Of 1850. 900, 900
nuSnels was in prospect, and he with
other dealers thought the world price
would be about s1,?5 bushel.
F. c. Van Dusen OF Minneapolis said
II was too carly to make specific plans
under which the grain corporation should
operate. but he added THE President
should be given broad authority In
handling the situation"
Control OF imports and exports and
the closing of exchanges to future trad
ing will minimize the Governments loss
in maintaining the price. NJ. Van Du-
sen said. adding that licensing OF the
exchanges would be unwise.
Mr.. Van Dusen said ne favored leav-
ing the question of price with the cor
poration. suggesting that through con-
troll OF world credits the Government
might sell the wheat advantageously
despite lower world price.
