PROHIBITION
ENFORCEMENT
Senate Bill Headed for Conference
Committee Which viii Try to
Compose Differences in
Measure,

limited Press Leased Wire Service.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6,-The pro
hibition enforcement bill passed by the
senate late yesterday. was headed
today for conference committee, which
will try to compose the differences be
tween the house and senate and seno
the measure to the president for MS
signature.
Since the senate in adopting the
measure made only one minor amend
ment to the house bill, speedy agree
ment over the measure, which covers
both wartime and constitutional pro
hibition, is looked for.
This means that unless the bill is
vetoed by the president, 2.75 percent
beer and other so-called light beyer-
ages now on sale in some parts of the
country will be under a ban and those
who sell them will face fine and jail
sentence.
The most important amendment
adopted by the senate was one making
the Panama canal zone dry. An at
tempt by Senator Shields, Tennessee,
to knock out the war time enforce
ment section failed.
