original VOlstead act Joined today in the
rising storm of protest in Congress

to legalize search and seizure Of private
property outside the home by prohibition
agents not armed with search warrants
The proposal written into the anti-beeI
bin BY Senator Sterling, Republican
South Dakota, and Representative Vol
stead, threatens to wreck the plan for
congressional recess starting Wednesday
and to render further doubtful the hnal
enactment OF the bill itself.
Opponents OF the proposal are ready
to wage a long and bitter fight against
st. They declare IL violates the consb-
tuti0naI rights OF private citizens and
would permit indiscriminate search Of
automobiles, baggage and other private
property outside the home on the slight
est pretext by the prohibition police
Senator Lodge. Massachusetts,, Repuo-
Iican leader Of the Senate, and Bran
dagee, Connecticut, are among those who
WELD considerable. influence on the Re
publican side, who declare they will never
consent to the proposal, against which
a number of leading Democratic Senator's,
including Reed, Missouri; Stanley, Ken
lucky. and Broussard, Louisiana. also are
lined ".

ion Of the dry proposal which is intended
to impose penalties upon prohibition
agents unarmed with search warrants
who engage in search or seizure Of pri-
vate property outside the home without
, reasonable cause" or with malicious
intent" is sheer camouaage" and
means nothing"
Unless the House drys accept the Stan
ley amendment, Brandegee and his col
leagues declare they will continue TO
hold up the anu-beer bill even If they
have to ''taIk il TO death"

PACKERS LOWER
PRICES; MEATS
HIGH AT RETAIL
Buyers Strike Hits Market,
Causing DemOrializati0nA
but No Cuts.

CHICAGO, Aug. 22.-The patienu
American housewife turned on tina
butcher today and struck against the
high price of meat according TO in
dications reaching the worlds meat
center.
Wholesale meat prices have touched tho
lowest point In five years, but the family
meat bill has not been noticeabiy
trimmed. The buyers meat strike has
demoralzed the market, judging from
statements OF conditions issued by the
Institute of American Neat Packers and
the National Live Stock Exchange.
Warehouses all over the country are
filled with beef for which there is no
purchasers. Farmers. hard pressed for
cash. flooded the markets with their
stock, thereby beating down the prices
they receive and enabling the packers to
slash wholesale quotations.
THE condition would be remedied If
the retailers would give consumers the
advantage of lower prices said Ever
EFT c. Brown, president of the National
Livestock Exchange.
The packers do not directly blame the
retailers, but:
1--WE feel that any explanation OF re-
tail prices should come from those who
retail meat and not from wholesalers
said W. W Woods of the Institute Of
American Meat Packers.
Chicago retailers in admitting meat
prices are high, pass the buck over the
meat counter to the purchaser.
Sol Westerfeld, representative retailer,
said prices are high because the public
will not buy the cheaper cuts of meat
which are equally nourishng. Inability
to sell the cheaper meats causes the high
prices Of the more desirable pieces, he
said.
No one has accused the farmer Of prof
iteering. 1t is admitted by all he is maxi
ing little If any, profit on his stock at
present prices.
