ployes in the country have voted IN

ployes into organizations, representa-
tives of which treat with company

ditions and wages.

sible to compile since the national
prohibition became effective.
The internal revenue bureau Friday
ordered a more liberal allowance Of
sacramental wine for use by religious
organizations in their rites.
Tentative regulations, drawn BY
the prohibition unit curtailing the

it is permissible to purchase were
held up and ordered redrafted with
more liberal" provisions.
Prohibition authorities had sought
to reduce an allowance of 10 gallon!
year maximum for Jewish families
to one gallon year for each mem
Der of such families.

producers, the witness asserted the
Federal Reserve Board and banks were
responsible for the general price de-
cIne. The boards pressure still was

afraid OF their shadow. who NAV find
all their loans called by the Reserve
banks any minute, and dare not disobey
its orders" according to Mr.. Wanna
maker, who asked the commission to
recommend legislation for general re-

tie proposed that the personnel be
composed of twelve members, nomi-
mated from the various districts as

the commission recommend the instant
reduction in Federal Reserve redis-
count rates to q basis of 31a per cent
