Junk DEALERS WANT
LICENSE FEE REDUCED
Councilmen Believe it Would
Establish Bad Precedent,
Agree to Cut Wagon Fee.

Junk dealers of the city appeared
before City Council sitting in COM
nittee of the whole last night to urge
that the city license of 5000 on their
business be reduced and that the
license on junk dealers wagons. now
fixed at $50 year, be cut down. They
argued that these sums are excessive
and some of them declared that II the
license is not reduced they will not
have theirs renewed for the next year
and will go out of business. They
contended that the junk business Is
dead and that many OF them are un-
able TO make a sale of any kind.
They were unanimous in the state
ner,t that they thought S10o n year
was sufficient for license for then
business and all of them said they
would be willing to pay this amour
IL developed during the discussion
that when the present license was
considered two years ago the sum
5000 was fixed at the request OF the
iunk dealers themselves but they
argued last night that their business
then was much better than now.
Councilmen pointed out mat 20 re-
d.cc the license Zee on "as
t,,s,ness would establish a bad pre-
caacnt because then all business men
u,o,,la be appealing for reduction,
n Was further stated that the city
moods money to carry on It's business

af,er considering the matter fol-
,oy,inp the departure OF the deiega-
tion Council decided TO reduce tht

VETS BUSY Under
COVER DECLARES
ANTI-SAL00N MAN

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20 - The
started by ewets" with the
slogan wine and beer for home use"
as the keystone, was attacked by
Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel
for the antisaloon league, as merely q
fight for nullication of the eighteenth
amendment.
Early in August, there were reports
of a conference held in New York, at
tended by some of the leading liberals
of the country, as a result of which IT
was disclosed that anti-prohibition
forces, as represented by a group of
national organizations opposed to pro-
hibition, and virtually agreed to
abandon Washington, tiring of several
years of useless endeavor to shake
the hold Of the @dry" majority in con-
gress. It was revealed the liberals
intended to turn their attention fom
the Capitol to the people who choose
the legislators and to work
to shape sentiments in the con-
gressional districts throughout the
congressional districts throughout the
country to modify prohibition.
The movement is well under way In
the East, but has not yet shown head
way westward, although the "drys" in
western states are on the alert tagainst
it,and the Ohio Anti-Saloon League
already has held meetings at Colum-
bus at which plans were laid to COM
bat the new campaign against prohib-
ition.
The leaders of the liberal movement
are at work with several seuerate or
ganizations, taking members at 81 q
head for the new organization which
is to wage the beeer and wine fight.

MUCH SPARR|NG

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2O.-Con-
gress will be confronted with the
necessity Of completing work on
measures which are a vital part Of
the administrations program when it

Congressional elections are ap-
preaching and both parties are spar
ring for issues to lay before the vot-
ers when they have their first oppor-
tunity to register opinion Of what the
Republican administration has accom-
plished. So far as the Republicans
are concerned, it is indicated the
movement for the limitation Of arIna-
ments will occupy a large place in
their claim for votes. But tariff and
taxes will be much discussed.
Efforts will be made TO put through
the revenue bill with as little delay
as possible. The public has beel
clamoring for it, a fact that members
of congress have observed during tht
