WASHINGTON. Feb. 81. - The
Executive Council of the American
Federation OF Labor has aligned it.
self with the advocates of light
wines and beer. and has called upon
ali members OF the federation and
other citizens to demand OF their
Senators and Congressman that the
Volstead act be amended according
Is. A formal declaration OF the po-
sition taken by the federation and
adopted by the council was issued
yesterday. It contends that the pres
ent law is being disregarded and
that il cannot be enforced. The dec
laration Is addressed to the Amer
ican people. II reads:
THE American Federation of La
Dor. as spokesman OF the unorgan-
lied as well as the organized toilers.
having In mind the interest and the
welfare OF our people, decided by
unanimous vote in its convention
held in Denver in June, 1921, that
the Volstead enforcement act must
be modified so as to permit the man
ufacture and sale OF beer and light
wines.
Before this decision was reached
the Executive Council OF the A. +.
Of l.. had caused to be made an ex-
haustive Investigation of the effects
OF the Volstead act II was shown
by this investigation that there had
been:
Il. A general disregard Of the law
among all classes OF people, includ-
ing those who made the law.
2. Creation OF thousands OF moon
sinners among both country and city
dwellers.
"s. The creation OF an army Of
bootleggers.
"a. An amazing Increase in the
trafflo in poisons and deadly concoc-
tions and drugs.
"b. An increased rate OF insanity,
blindness and crime among the users
OF these concoctlons and drugs.
"e. Increase in unemployment due
to loss OF employment by workers in
forty-fve Industries directly or In
directly connected with the manu-
facture Of liquors.
~. Increase in taxes to city, State
and national governments amount
ing to approximately s1,0oo,ooo,000
per year.
Having In mind these results OF
tho extreme Interpretation OF the
prohibition amendment contained in
the Volstead act. as well as the enor-
nous expense of the attempt TO en-
force that unenforceable legislation
II is our conclusion that the act Is
an improper Interpretation OF the
prohibition amendment, that It is q
social and a moral failure, and thai
Il is a dangerous breeder OF discon.
tent and Of contempt for all law.
Something OF the economic ef
feet OF the Volstead law may b.
seen by considering the fact that II

Grafton in 1918 consumed $4,000
carloads OF coal. It must be obvious
that the total economic effect Of the
destruction OF this industry is tre-
mendous.
The American Federation OF
Labor always has been the advocate
OF law and order and always has
endeavored TO create conditions
which would make possible the
highest type OF citizenship.
I'VE do not protest against the
Eighteenth Amendment 10 the Con-
stitution. which now Is part Of the
fundamental law of the land. We do
not protest against the principle es-
tabllshed by the Eighteenth Amend

our country and would have the
support Of the great majority Of our
people.
THE Eighteenth Amendment
however, under the present drastic
and unreasonable legislative inter

contrary we declare for reasonable
