 AGAINST LIQUOR SALE PROVISION IN vOLSTEAD ACT
Prohibition Forces Lining Up Next Congress Session To Eliminate Prescription Provisions of Law
[RepubIlcan A. p. Leased wIrel

WASHINGTON, March 19.-The sign once displayed in the dining room of a North Carolina hotel announcing that to prevent guests taking fruit from the table there would be no fruit about expresses the view of dry leaders in congress on the new ruling as to medicinal beer.
 If beer is to be prescribed in any quantity for everybody who is ailing, there will be no beer" was the upshot of opinions by house prohibitionists.
 Several members, including those who worked for the Volstead law, de- clared that former Attorney General Palmer rightly construed the act in holding that beer, like liquor. could be prescribed. But they added that they were awaiting with deep concern pub lication of prohibition department reg ulations as to the prescribing of beer.
 While the volstead act limits whisky that may be prescribed, there is no beer provision. Prohibition leaders think it may be necessary to fix that by statute.
 Predictions are made by several pro hibition members that the policy of congress will depend on department regulations and beer try-out. They see no Likelihood of an early change in the dry law by which a physician may prescribe more than a pint of whisky in any ten days. But goine back to pre- prohibition days, dry lead CTS recalled that the sick mans beer supply was rather liberal. It used tC be prescribed by the case.
 Prohibition enforcement officials de- clare they are not responsible for the idea that the new regulations will per init the sale and drinking oI a glass of. beer at drug store fountain. There is not a chance. Druggists alone will be permitted to handle t on prescrip- ton.
 i In connection with publication of tho 1 department of justice ruling, it has de veloped that the Anti Saloon ieagu' will renew it's fight before congress t, eliminate from the Volstead law th' 1 provision relating to sale of liquor b, prescription. Meanwhile, the scrambl continues for places on the house jul dietary committee. which may settl
 the beer issue definitely. There ar eight vacancies. If all the seats wer given to vets the committee still woul,
 ed that the party. in making up com
 mittee assignments, would take n
 backward step on prohibition.
 Chairman Volstead expressed tn
 view today that the membership woul
 be made up without regard to tn
 beer development. A recent check ul

 100 new members elected to the hous

questionaires to known and supposed
employers of labor. with a view of
getting this data which will clearly
show the present condition, as well
as the tendencies to be considered.
The practice has been an annual
one for some years, but this year it is
especially important, and Mr.. Ingram
requests that those receiving the
questions make a special effort to as
sist in the work by promptly an
swering the inquiries presented on
the blank.
IN a representative set of replies
can be had, it will be possible not
only to make an accurate statement
of the labor supply and demand, but
also of the tendency of wages and 10
forecast conditions for the coming
season.
All of the reliable data on costs OF
