MINNESOTA FED. Oh LABOR
AGAINST WINE AND BEER

Labor is not by any means a unit
in support OF the brewers proposi-
ton 10 exempt manufacture and sale
of beer from the provisions of the
Eighteenth Amendment. 1t is true
that the American Federation Of La
Dor adopted resolution at their last
convention declaring for beer and
wine but this was no new departure.
In their previous convention at At
lantic City the Federation went so
far as to send delegation to Wash
ington to participate in demonstra-
ton against the Eighteenth Amend
ment. However, not all state FEEDER
ations and by no means all local labor
bodies, are lined up with the brewers.
For instance, the Minnesota conven-
ton of the State Federation of Labor
has voted against beer and wine four
to one.

NEW JERSEY BOOZE STOCK
NEAR EXHAUSTION POINT

New regulations governing the sale
of liquor by wholesale liquor dealers
in New Jersey were promulgated July
21 at the Office of Prohibition Director
Van Note. From now on no liquor
can be sold by a wholesale liquor
concern unless a special permit for
each sale is obtained from Director
Van Note, and before the permit is
issued the wholesaler must file an
inventory of the supply in his posses
sion with a statement indicating when
the government tax on that liquor
was paid. At Mr.. Van Notes Office
it was estimated roughly that there
remains in possession of wholesale
liquor men throughout the state 10000
gallons of whisky, and when that is
gone the wholesale dealers will be
out OF business. There will then re-
main only such stocks of liquor as
wholesale druggists have, the sale OF
which is controlled by other rules
than those which apply to the whole
sale liquor dealers.

Announcement was made IN the
Office of United States District Al
torney William Hayward on August
3. according to the New York Trib
une, that "the United States govern
ment will seize ships of Italian,
French, British or any other nation
ality, which may anchor outside a
United States harbor and engage in
the smuggling of liquor. drugs or
anything else" The district attor-
ney continued:
Furthermore, this government will
order the arrest of conspirators
against the laws of this country in
any port in the world, providing the
government agents believe they have
evidence sufficient to convict"
The method of procedure in case of
a ship OF foreign registry will be first
to seize the suspected ship, arrest her
officers and then notify the represen-
tative in Washington of the govern
ment in which registry had been
made.
This method was carried out in the
case OF the two-masted motor con-

WILLIS CAMPBELL BILL
PASSES SENATE

The Willis-Campbell anti
beer bill passed the Senate
August 8 by vote of 80 to
20, and was sent to confer
ence with the House with
the prospect of its final en-
actment before the week
end.
The ban against the pre-
scribing of beer by physi-
clans and limitations OF pre-
scriptions OF wine and
whisky contained in the bill
as passed by the House
were virtually unchanged
by the Senate. Two amend
ments. however, were added,
One OF these prohibits
searching private property
or premises without search
warrants. Violation would
be a misdencanor and car
ries a penalty Of a thousand
dollars fine and a years i'm
prisonment. The other pro-
vides penalties OF five years
imprisonment and a thou
sand dollars fine for persons
attempting searches while
posing as Prohibition agents.
Senator Pomerene voted
against the bill.

Arouses Indignation of Drys
Everywhere

This arrogant demand OF Spain that
Iceland repeal her Prohibition law
must arouse the indignation of Prohi-
bitionists everywhere. A bully is al
ways contemplate, and people who
believe in fair play will want to help
Iceland for Tceland's own sake, but in
addition to this feature OF the case this
attack is really an attack that involves
the welfare of the Prohibition move
ment throughout the world. No
where in all Europe is Prohibition
making such strides as in the Scan
dinavian countries and a reversal in
Iceland would undoubtedly have its
effect on the movement in Denmark,
Norway and Sweden.

Sparring for Time

On August ; the leaders OF the
filibuster stirred mp the discus
sion to prevent lull in which the
proponents of the beer legislation
might call it up. Through adroit
questioning and other parliament
tary tactics they kept Senator
Robert NJ. LaFollette of Wiscon-
sin on the floor for three hours
and followed the same practice
when Senator Smith of South
Carolina arose to discuss the
pending farm aid" question.
The result was a session OF des-
utory debate which gave to the
flibusterers more time to lay
their plans. Similar tactics, it
was learned, are to be pursued
tomorrow while the Moses
Broussard faction scouts for the
extra two votes. When they
are obtained formal motion to
send the bill back to the commit
tee will be made. Should it fail
the flibusterers plan to bring
their fight into the open and at
tempt to kill the bill by talking
it to death"
