They charge that bootleggers and manu- lecturers of illicit whiskey have been enabled to continue their operations by easy obtainance of alcohol intend ed for industrial purposes and they want it stopped.
 Representative Volstead, father of the prohibition enforcement law, and chairman of the House Judiciary Committee will be urged by Wheeler and his associates to bring forth at an early date his bill requiring the registration of all industrial concerns using alcohol in the manufacture of their products. It is also proposed to embody in the new bill require ments that whenever possible this alcohol be "doctored" so as to make it non-drinkable.
