T,Uo Grounds Left
On Which ''Dry'' Lac
viii Be attacked

Hugh Fox, secretary Of the United
States Brewers Association, said the
prohibition amendment was due to be
attacked on two more points before the
liquor interests gave up the legal fight.
The Supreme Court, he explained, has
yet to pass on the question of whether
Congress had the right to define intoxi-
cants, and must decide on the scope and
meaning of the proviso in the amend
ment that Congress and the several
states shall have concurrent power to
pass appropriate legislation for enforce
ment"
"If the Supreme Court" he added,
"should finally uphold the right of Con-
gress to establish definition of one
half of l per cent for the purpose of
enforcing national prohibition and that
the states have no power in the matter,
the effect would be to put cider and many
so-called soft drinks under the ban.
"Meanwhile," said Mr.. Fox, "the en-
forcement measure, which is now known
as the national prohibition act, will, if
sustained by the courts, deprive accused
persons of a trial by jury and make
them prove their innocence. No physi-
clan will be able to prescribe alcohol in
any form without submitting to vexa-
tions regulations which will take 80
much time and trouble that busy doc
tor could not afford to be bothered with
them"
Mr.. Fox predicted that regulations to

Increases in Rentals.
Prices and Tnxes in
This City Seen by w cts
NetD York Tribune
Warrington Buredu


WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-In a state
ment showing the prospective increases
in municipal taxes which are expected
to result from national prohibition, the
publicity department of the anti-prohi-
bition forces here to-day said:
"A big increase in municipal taxes
appears to be the means most gen
trally adopted by affected cities in
meeting the budget problems produced
by national prohibition. Virtually all
that have replied to inquiries indicate
the license taxes on other businesses
have been or are going to be boosted,
in some cases as much as 100 per cent
In a great many, substantial increase
in the general tax rate has been made
in order to make up deficits caused by
the loss of revenues produced by pro-
hibition.
"In the State Of New York the total
revenue received from liquor tax GER
tifcates, transfer fines. penalties and
volume tax for twelve months ended
September 80, 1918, was $22,616 ,44277.
New York City alone derived net rev.
enue for the five boroughs of $685.
612.72."
The statement predicts that as a re-
suit of this loss New York City is in
for increased taxes, increased rents
and general increase in the already
high cost of living.

Inventor Exhibits
Helicopter in Flight
Test of Model With Revolving
Wings Is Witnessed by Fly
ing Club Committee

A demonstration fight of model hell
copter was made before representatives
of the American Flying Club contest
committee in the laboratory of Will
lam j. Beach, 125 East Twenty third
Street, yesterday.
The model is a departure from all
proposed types of helicopters and has
been placed before the War Depart
ment by the inventor, who was born
in Australia. In yesterdays demon
stration, the model was equipped with
small motors driven by compressed
air, which caused it to rise vertically
about two feet.
Mr.. Beach said he hopes to build a
full-sized machine shortly capable of
lifting a man and flying at will! in the
air, in order to compete for the $780,
600 prizes offered by M. Michelin, the
French aviation enthusiast, for the
first successful flight with helicopter
The machine invented by Mr.. Beach
has two revolving wings. These lift
the machine directly into the air and
support it. 1t is in the application of
the power to turn these wings that the
patent lies.
Cole j. Younger, vice-chai irman Of the
American Flying Club contest COM
mittee, who witnessed the demonstra-
tion, said the model showed very prom
ising results, and if it could be de-
veloped to fly horizontally while sup
ported by the revolving wings, might
have an important bearing on the fu-
ture development of aviation.

British Railmen Accept
Wage Agreement in Part

LONDON, Jan. 15.-Delegates of
railwaymen's unions have accepted the
governments offer in settlement of
wage demands made by employees in
the lower grades of the service.
After the close of this mornings
meeting of the delegates, J H. Thomas,
general secretary of the National
Union of Railwaymens said: 1.-THE con-
ference has decided by very narrow
majority to accept the government S
offer"
The delegates of the railwaymen re-
ported the decision to Sir Eric Geddes,
the Minister of Transport. After they
had seen the minister their leader, Mr.
Thomas, said: "It is settled. 1t has
been very difficult job, probably the
most difficult of all our tasks"
The governments offer accepted by
the railwaymen maintains the sliding
scale, and the wage is fixed on the
average, not the maximum, pay. 1t
makes, however, further concessions in
the form of bonuses for women and
some men, with an increase of half
crown in a bonus to workers under
eighteen years old,

Rail Bills Inadequate,
Says Stephen C. Mason
Believes the Financial Plan Pro.
posed i'm the Senate Would
DISCOURAGE Investment

Disturbance of business and labor
conditions is predicted upon the return
on March l of the railroads to private
ownership unless Congress enacts more
adequate legislation than that proposed
in the Cummins and Esch bills, Stephen
G. Mason, president of the National
Association of Manufacturers. declared
yesterday. In statement he issued,
Mr.. Mason says:
"To avoid, after the return to cor
rorate management, a protracted in
terval of hand-to-mouth operation,
Congress must CD extend the standard
iusted to credit; (2) create a revolving
fund for government loans sufficient
for the roa1e to meet their obligations
to the public in case the investment
conditions continue unfavorable; (3)
authorize the refunding of carriers
capital debts to the government on
equitable terms"
The financial provisions Of the Cum.
Minis bill, Mr. Mason believes, are not
sufficient to safeguard the roads in
realizing fair basis of earnings. Un-
der this act, he contends, the Inter
state Commerce Commission could no.
use the discretion which would email H.
the companies to realize a net opel
ating income of 51s per cent upon the
value of their property. He believes
this would discourage investment.
Speaking Of the labor features of the
Esch bill. Mr. Mason says:
"The House bill explicitly perpetu-
ates every wage increase and every
working rule or regulation made bv the
administration under pres
sure of war conditions and those re-
sulting from war. AS conditions tend
toward normal the only recourse of
the managers in the direction of adapt
ing labor conditions to such normal
status is to obtain the consent of the
employees as represented in adjustment
boards. The House bill recruits such
boards exclusively from the member.
ship of the several brotherhoods ana
unions of railway labor who are recog-
nized by name in such way that no
rev organization Of employees can be
formed and no employe not a member
of an existing brotherhood or union
can have representation. This legalizes
and codifies the closed shop"

Later General Wood moved that the
belt be adopted as part of the uni

to the General Staff that the belt be

Secretary of War Baker to-day said
he would give very careful considera-
ton to all recommendations laid be-
fore the department by the conference
of officers now in session. His per-
sonal opinion, however, he said, was
against any change in the present

BE a Good Sport,'' Is
Aduice of Anderson

William H. Anderson drove the water
wagon up to New York's door yester-
day, so as to have it ready for every
body to climb aboard at midnight this
evening. He said there was room for
all. The Anti-Saloon League superin-
tendent endeavored to be gentle and
firm about it at the same time.
"Be q good sport about it," he said,
in an exhortatory sort of statement.
"No more falling off the water wagon!
Uncle Sam (Anderson did not hesitate
to assume the prerogative of spokes-
manship) will help you keep your
pledge. But he needs your help, too,
if he is to keep 100000 respecting
the law. There may be some fellows
still sore about their so-called personal
liberty who hate to admit their old
friend, John Barleycorn, mas been
knocked out, but good sense and sports
manship will come to their rescue. We

whipped year after year."
Mr.. Anderson closes with quotations
from "Mr. Dooley" and Abraham Lin
