DRY PROTES, MADE
AGAINST PERMITS
Reissue to Non-Manufactur-

Illegal.

Prohibition leaders today protested
to the government enforcement Of
ficers against the reissuing of permits
intoxicating liquors. The claim was
made by Wayne b. Wheeler, counsel
for the Anti-Saloon League, who
headed the delegation, that issuance
of the permits to liquor dealers not
manufacturers or wholesale druggists
was not authorized by the Volstead
act.
The permits, hundreds of which are
outstanding. expire automatically De-
cember 1. Mr.. Wheeler appealed to
the prohibition office not to grant APP
plications for renewals, asserting that
the permits had facilitated the diver
sion of liquor to beverage use.
N Would Reject ms a Whole.
Gwen if it is permissible to issue
the permits" Mr.. Wheeler contended,
'it is not compulsory and the disas-
trous experience of the last year in
connection with these permits fur
nishes sufficient proof to show the
wisdom and necessity for rejecting
the wholesale pc rmits as whole"
Mr. Wheeler insisted that the ~
suance of the permits was in direct
conflict with the expressed purpo9e
of the Volstead act to prevent the
use of intoxicating liquor as bever-
age" He declared that abuse Of the
privileges conveyed by the permits
was common and that the consump-
ton of liquor as a beverage was in
creased thereby,

C0MPANY'S PLEA AGAINST
RENT BOARD IS DENIED
Br the Associated Press.

The District Court Of Appeals today
denied the application OF the Southern
Realty Corporation for writ of prohi-
bition against the rent commission.
The corporation charged that the COM
mission was assuming to function under
u law which the appellate court had
declared unconstitutional and was pro-
ceeding to enter complaints from GER
tain tenants of the Southern build.ng
at 18th and II streets northwest. after
the Municipal Court had granted judg-
ments for possession. from which ap-
peals by the tenants are pending in the
District Supreme Court.
The rent commission questioned the
right of the Court of Appeals to issue
the writ of prohibition since the ap-
pellate court received its right only
under the Ball rent law, which it had
declared void.
The court assigned no reason for
the refusal. and merely indorsed on
the application Of the Southern Realty
Corporation the word Denied"

it became necessary to move to the

it's quarters there. and was removed
to the larger Minor building on 17th

After three years of service, the Minor
building became too small to accOmmo-

the old District building, 1st street be-

be reflected in the prices for work.
Action Follows Investigation.
The vote this morning came after
weeks Of investigation by the con-
ference, composed of Representatives
Of the workers, the laundries and the
public.
Before submitting it's decision to the
wage board the conference will meet
again to consider the question OF
whether there should be a learning
period for new employees in laundries
during which time~they would receive
After the conferees have submitted
their recommendations the board will
give a public hearing to receive pro-
,tests or Endorsements Of the tentative
wage. Following this meeting the
board will decide whether to adopt
the wage of SIS. 1t probably will be
late in January before definite action
can be taken.
The conferees this morning voted
down consecutive motions that the
minimum wage be $12, $13, $14 and
$14.50. The last mentioned figure was
adopted by the conferees early in the
year. but was rejected by the wage
board.
Position Taken by Employer,
The laundry owners were opposed
to going higher than $14.5O, contend
ing that the. cost of living has gone
down since the first decision was
reached in May, and. therefore. the
wage should be lower, rather than
higher now.
Joseph A. Berberich, sitting in the
conference as a member Of the wage
board. moved that SIS be recommend
ed. The vote on this motion was i
to 5. but Chairman James S. Ea6by-
Smith voted for SIS, carrying the mo-
ton.
In voting to break the deadlock
Chairman Ea asby-Smith said he did SO
because it is his understanding that
if the wage board should find later on
that the cost of living has taken a
substantial drop the board can order
a reopening of the case and adjust the
wage to conditions.

marched away singing Deutschland uber Alles." The crowd and the pc lice guard joined in the singing. Pending the arrival of Dr. Danied Von Hamphusen and Herr Moll crowds had learned of the proposed salute of the French flag by the Ger man troops and there were cries of "shame" as the saluting company ap- preached the embassy.
 The reischwehr saluting force had not actually left the embassy pre- cincts when the men broke lustily into Deutschland uber Alles.' The French officers, who apparently had been pleased up to that moment, seemed dumfounded. They fingered for a moment on the roof and por- tico, engaged in excited conversation and then disappeared into the cm- bassy building.
 The secrecy with which the Ger man government arranged the cere- mony of saluting the French flag at the French embassy to atone for the pulling down of the French flag on Bastile day is believed to have saved Berlin from what would have inev- itably developed into a serious pop ular outbreak. No one knew before hand that the military salute was to take place and the newspapers learn ed of it only just before going 10 press.
