DAYLIGHT SAVING IS
BACKED BY PRESIDENT
Denounces Repeal and Points
Out Great Benefits of Law
Vetoes Sundry Civil Bill.

Washington.-Presi Wilson put
his first veto on measure passed by
the Republican Congress when he re-
jected the agricultural appropriation
bill on account of the rider to repeal
the daylight saving law. AT the same
time he returned unsigned the sundry
civil appropriation bill on account Of
insufficient appropriation and change
of methods of administration of the
vocational rehabilitation of wounded
soldiers.
Opponents of the daylight saving
law expressed confidence in their abil-
ity to muster the necessary two-thirds
majority to pass the agricultural bill
over the Presidents veto. Supporters
of the President say it cannot be done.
Prompt action was taken in the
house looking toward test of senti-
ment in the house on the question Of
passing the daylight law repeal over
the veto, with indications that the at
tempt will fail.
An attempt was made by Represent
alive La Guardia, Republican, of New
York, and other friends of the daylight
law to bring the matter to an imme-
date vote, the belief being that there
We're not enough votes to override the
veto. This attempt was blocked, how
ever, by Representative Mondell of
Wyoming, Republican floor leader.
He moved that action be postponed,
and on a roll call his motion. prevailed
by vote of 225 to II. This vote Is by
no means, however, a lest of the senti-
ment of the house on daylight saving.
The bill to repeal it passed by a vote
of 232 to 122, showing that at least
122 members of the house favor a con-
tinuation Of the law. 1t will take a
two-thirds majority of those voting
to override the veto.
Representative Mondell realized ap-
parently that If vote was taken at
once the attempt to override the veto
would fail. He said he believed the
members ought to have time to think
about the matter before voting upon it.

HOUSE KNOCKS out ITS
beer IN HOT FIGHT
Drys Muster Overwhelming Vote
Against Every Proposal of
the Vets.

Washington Every hope of the lib
eral element in the house to modify
the drastic wartime and constitutional
prohibition bill met with crushing de-
feat at the hands of the prohibition
lists
Slashing right and left in one Of the
stormiest sessions held by the house
in months, the prohibitionists Killed
definitely all the concessions sought by
the vets, including the repeal of war
time prohibition and authority to man.
ufacture 2.75 per cent. beer. The lib
erals went down TO defeat overwhelm-
ingly on every proposal they submit
ted.
But out of the slaughter there came
a ray of hope-a very strong intima-
ton from administration officials that
President Wilson stands ready to veto
any overdrastie prohibition enforce
ment bill that comes before him for
signature. Mr.. Wilson, it is said, will
not countenance any foolishness with
a prohibition bill, particularly war
time prohibition bill, that cannot be
enforced. To enact such law, he is
said to believe, would be to court law
breaking throughout the nation.
Mr.. Wilson's interest in what is GO
ing on as to prohibition enforcement
became evident when he set the
League of Nations proposal Temperate
ly aside for conference with Daniel
c. Roper, commissioner of interval
revenue, who, under the bill as it
stands, is charged with the detective
work required for the enforcement of
the prohibition law. Mr.. Roper told
Mr.. Wilson that he believed such q
system was fundamentally wrong
that the Bureau of Internal Revenue
should collect taxes and nothing more.
Aside from this feature, it develop
ed that the owners of something like
54000,000 gallons of whisky now held
under bond in government warehouses
confidently expect the ban of wartime
prohibition to be lifted in plenty of
time to dispose of their stocks. This
view is shared by some of the officials
who hold the whisky While it all de-
ponds on the ratification of the peace
treaty, there are some who are opti-
mistic enough to believe that it will
not be more than 60 days, but that is
speculation.
Incidentally the lifting of the ban
would mean about 100000 600 to the
government in the collectiC\ of taxes.
If it is necessary for the distillers to
ship the whisky out of the country the
government will lose the levy of $6.40
d gallon.
BY vote of 151 to 90, proposal
by Representative Dyer, Republican,
of Missouri, to strike out the limita-
ton of one-half of per cent. alcoholic
content in the definition of intoxicants
and to substitute 2.75 per cent.
