ATLANTIC CITY. Feb. 25.-Conti-
dencc that the Federal prohibition
amendment will not remain in effect,
and even fear that the pendulum OF
public opinion may swing too far in the
opposite direction from prohibition,
were expressed to-day at conference of
the United States Brewers Association
here. Four hundred delegates are In
attendance, representing not only the
association, but others who want to co.
operate with the members in prevent
ing the scrapping of brewing plants
in which several hundred million dol
lars are invested.
Delegates refrained from expressing
any preference as to candidates for
the Presidential nomination. They de-
clared that they were not planning to
become associated with an. political
vocating legislation to permit the man
ufacture. and sale Of light wine and
beer. The association is said to sneak
for 90 per cent of the brewing industry
both as to Invested capital and poten-
tial output.

soclatlon, declared in his address that

HARTFORD. Corn, May 10.-Gov-
elnor Marcus Fl. Holcomb, replying to
the request made by the flying squad
ron" OF suffragists representing the
forty ght states, has declined to call
special session of the Connecticut
Legislature to act on the woman suf-
frage amendment. His decision was
given in a letter to Miss Katharine
Ludington, president Of the Connecti-

public tonight.

Mrs. Park explained that the COM
mttee represented two and half
million women OF the league, which
was formed in Chicago last February,
when the National American Woman
Suffrage Association ceased it's activi-
ties. The league will present its
planks to the Republican National Con-
vention at Chicago and to the Demo-
cratic convention in San Francisco.
Copies of the platform were sent yes
terday to Homer Cummings. as the
Democratic party has no platform COM
mittee.
No Action Taken on Planks
Mrs. Park said after the hearing
that no action was taken by the sub
committee on the planks, but that they
were discussed with much interest,
particularly the plank on education,
which provides for a Federal depart

"lt should be clearly understood,
however, that these planks do not con-

Gasoline Price Up Again;
Sells for 34c To-day
Increase in Automobiles and
Decrease in Oil Production
Held RespOnsiblc

The retail price of gasoline at gar
ages will jump 2 cents to "a cents to-
day as result of the increased whole
sale price announced bv the Standard
Oil Company of New York yesterday.
The increase represents an advance of
5tc cents, or % per cent. since January
|. The wholesale advance is from
% Il to so cents.
The price advance follows announce.
ment of an increase in quotations for
crude oil. and is result of the rap
idly increasing consumption by automo-
biles. The number of automobiles has
increased relatively faster than the
production OF crude oil. and the re-
sulting increased demand is held re
sponsible for the rise in prices.
The higher prices are having a ia
vorable effect on the earnings of the
big gasoline manufacturing and mar
ketins companies, as is shown by the
recent report for 1919 of the Standard
Oh Company of New York.
