Labor defeated every one OF these
bills. The city is the center of much
anti-trade union activity. but the
claims OF this element did not impress
the legislature.
One of the best pieces of social leg
islation passed was the child welfare
bill, which provides that no child I'M

dustry in this state and then they
must have completed at least the
eighth grade in an elementary school.

The first general move was made

The purpose of the request was to

as proving their case to the board or
permit employees TO have voice in
the proceedings.
The railroads were told that they
must obey the law. Then they began
wholesale wage reductions--doing the
very thing the railway labor board
said they should not do without hear

To evade the law the Atlanta, Bir-

WASHINGTON. Oct. % Copyright,
1920 To-day marks the beginning of
another great battle between "drys"
and liberals" over the use of beer
and light wines for medicinal pur-
poses. The Treasury Department has
issued certain regulations permitting
physicians to prescribe beer or wine
for the sick. Congress has under con-
sideration bill which would wipe out
those regulations tho instant tho
measure Is passed, which may no
within a few weeks.
Then the controversy will 60 to the
courts to determine whether the Pro-
hibltlon amendment to the Federal
Constitution intended to prohibit the
manufacture of Intoxicating liquors
"for beverage purposes" only. or
whether the American people who
supported tho amendment intended
that the sick should he permitted to
have whatever physicians thought
would assist their return 70 health,
The so-called Anti-Beer Bill now
pending in Congress has been at
tackled by some physicians as dan
gerous. and defended by others as Of
no consequence TO the practice of
medicine. Senator Bali OF Delaware,
himself "A physician. has fought
vehemently against 'he measure, do
claring that In his experience the use
Of liquors had been Of considerable
benefit to patients.
The great question is whether the
Anti Beer Bill which would amend the
Nolstead Act is constitutional. Only
the Supreme Court OF the United
States can decide that. A test case
will surely be brought the moment
the measure has gone through Con
gress.
Meanwhile the issuance by the
Treasury Department OF the new
regulations interpreting the original
Volstead Act as permitting physi-
clans 10 prescribe beer or wines Is
varously regarded Some of the drys
think it is intended to prejudice their
case by crystallizing public opinion
on the subject OF the use OF liquors
for medicinal purposes. Some OF the
liberals insist that the regulations
were issued so as TO stimulate the dry
