REPEAL OF WARTIME PRO-
HIBITION LAW UNLIKELY

Congressional leaders are apparent
ly unimpressed by the demands OF
labor interests and others for the re-
peal Of the wartime prohibition law
which becomes effective on July l.
This is,the announced opinion Of one
of.the leading members Of the Steer
ing Committee of the House Of Re
presentatives, who claims that the re-
sponsibility for lifting the ban against
liquor-rests upon the President and not
upon Congress. It also appears, from
confidential polls taken by anti-hquor
interests, that there is a substantial
majority in Congress which is opposed
to a repeal Of the law in question. The
position Of many members Of Congress
seems TO be that, since the National
Prohibition amendment viii make the
country dry anyway after the end Of
the year, there Is no substantial rea-
son Why legislation should be enacted
which would continue the wet" Per
iod during TIE nsxt six months.

Samuel Unternnyer Charges New
York Dealers With COnspir-
acy Resulting In 300 Per
Cent Increases

New York, New York.-The hrst
reform needed in the present housing
situation is amendment Of the insur-
ance law and also Of the law. regu-
lating savings banks investments 20
that insurance companies and savings
banks would be obliged to invest tho
greater part of their funds IN hrBt
mortgages on real estate, according to
Samuel Untermyer, who offered tbs
and other suggestions for the over
coming of the housing problem to tho
Mayors committee on rent prOfteer-
ing. In brief, these suggestions IN
cluded, in addition, recommendations
that the insurance companies at once
rid themselves Of the railroad and
bank stocks which legislation passed
13 years ago required them to dispose
of; and that vacant land be taxed 1t
double the rate of improvements On
the land and improvements ut only
half their value.
Mr.. Untermyer also charged dealers
in building materials with conspiracy
that had resulted in raising prices 800
per cent, although wages had cd.
vanced only about 80 per cent, char
acterizing this alleged conspiracy -
criminal. He urged that an investiga-
tion be made of this alleged illegal
combination in building materials,
suggesting the Federal Trade Com
mission as a suitable body to carry on
such an investigation, although he
doubted whether it could act promptly
enough.

SENATE AGAINST
REPEAL Of WARTIME
PROHIBITION LAW
House Committee Agrees to
Vote on Proposal to Give
Wilson Power to Re-
peal Law

Washington, June 18.-Certain de-
feat for efforts to have congress ex-
empt beer and wine from operation Of
the wartime prohibition law was seen
in an overwhelming vote Of 55 to IL
in the senate late today against an
exemption proposal.
By that margin the senate tabled a
motion by Senator Phelan, democrat
Of California, to add rider to the
agricultural appropriation bill for ap-
plication Of the wartime prohibition
law to distilled spirits alone. The SEN
timent of the senate thus expressed in
the first test vote of this congress,
was taken generally to sound the
death lnell for measures designed to
permit the use of'beer and wines un-
der the wartime Legislation.
The house Judiciary committee re-
ceived and agreed to vote next Satur-
day on an amendment by Representa-
tive Gard, democrat of Ohio, to pro-
hibition enforcement legislation which
would authorize the president to sus-
pend the wartime ban on beer and
wines.
Rejection Was Predicted
Rejection of the amendment by the
committee generally was predicted.
The committee also decided to recon-
mend enforcement of prohibition by
the internal revenue commissioner and
not by q special prohibition commits
sioner.
Disposition by the senate Of the
Phelan proposal came after little dis
cussion, except by Mr.. Phelan, and
none by advocates Of prohibition. The
California senator urged that the
'senate,s rules against Legislative rid
ers on appropriation bills be set aside.
to make his rider in order. AS such q
motion requires two-thirds majority,
Senator Gronna, republican Of North
Dakota, declared that debate would be
entailed and moved to table Senator
Phelan's motion to shut off further
discussion.
On the Phelan motion, senator's
voting in its support were:
Republicans Calder, Edge, France,
Knox, La Toilette and Wadsworth.
Total 6.
Democrats - King, Phelan, Reed,
Thomas and Williams. Total s.
Senator Mclean, republican of
Connecticut, also voted against tabling
the motion, but later withdrew the
vote because of q pair.
