Washington. - Prohibition forces
took full control in the house and
refused to permit vote on straight
out motion to repeal the war time
act, defeated overwhelmingly an
amendment providing for the sale of
two and three qarters per cent beer,
and stood solidly against all attacks
on the general enforcement measre.
Just as fast as a liberal" amend
ment was offered by opponents of
prohibition It was voted down without
ceremony, always by triple vote, for
the minority, fighting every inch of
ground, demanded a division after the
ayes and nays were called, and then
asked for tellers. Before the house
got through with the first section of
the first part of the three-part bill
thore was more disorder on the floor
than at any time this session.
The real battle, however, was over
the amendment to define an intoxi-
cant as a beverage containing more
than two and three quarters per cent
alcohol, instead of more than one-half
of one per cent, as written In the bill.
After two and three-Quarters beer
had been bowled over by record
vote OF 151 to 90--and this was about
tho relative division on all amend
ments-the prohibitionists went after
another amendment by Representa-
tive Igoe, democrat, Missouri, which
would have stricken out all definition
of intoxicants, killing the proposal
12S to 83.
When II seemed the majority was
weary Of voting down every proposal
by the other side, points of order
were raised, and some motions, de-
signed to make the law less drastic
