NO NEW ENFORCING LAW.
United States to Go Dry Monday I'm.
less Wilson lntervenes


Washington, June 27-Wartime pro-
hibition will become effective next
Monday at midnight without enact
ment, meanwhile, by congress of ad-
ditional legislation for its enforcement.
Out of a maze Of confusing develop
ments this fact stood out clearly to-
day with the decision of the house
judiciary committee. charged with the
duty Of preparing and submitting en-
forcement machinery, to report three
bills in one. each standing on its own
legs. and capable of holding its own
If the others were made invalid by
congress or the courts.
Chairman Volstead declared there
was no possibility Of the passage Of
the joint measure before July /, but
that there existed ample means OF en-
forcement and ample penalties for
violation of the wartime act.
1t was pointed out by others Of the
committee that the law made 1t man
datory on the president to say when
rehabilitation was completed, which
would automatically permit saloons to
resume operations until Jan. 49, when
constitutional prohibition win become
! effective.
The general view was that with the
signing Of the treaty by Germany and
the government assurance of speedy
rehabilitation. issuance Of the presi-
dents proclamation might not be held
up longer than Labor day at the latest.
Indeed, it appeared to be the opin-
ion among many members of the
house that saloons in cities where the
sale of liquor now is permitted will be
serving drinks much sooner than the
| public :f,lagines.
