Act Is To Be Big Issue
 I'm State Nm Fall

New Haven, Aug. - Indications are present in sentiment throughout the state and in party councils that the Volstead act will be an issue Tn the coming fall campaign in the state, and that light beer and wine platform may this year inserted in the Flepub- lican platform, as 1t was two years ago in the Democratic platform. Neither of the major parties included such a plank in its national platform, but it is pointed out that sentiment against the Vo1stead act has increas- ed with enough intensity to register definite political opinion in the state since then.
 Two years ago the Republican party did mot insert such a plank in the state platform, although state leaders were undoubtedly personally in favor of a modification or the Vol stead act. Connecticut as one of the few states in the union failed to rat fly the national amendment, and so could logically pass her own legisfa- ton to modify the act. Attempt was Assembly, but it failed, and there will be renewed attempt during the com ing session. Many of the candidates for the Assembly. it is understood, will stand upon their own individual platform in favor of modification of the act, and judging by the senti- ment throughout the state there is likely to be some remedial legislation passed.
 The first wedge in the campaign was inserted yesterday at a big meeting Of New Britain and State Democrats when Thomas J. Spelbacy and former Congressman Augustine Lonergan spoke strongly against the Volstead act. This, if nothing else augurs that the Dem ocrats will have a plank iH the platform. similar to the one two years ago. and that all Democrats elected to the General Assembly will be more or less committed to enact ment of modifying legislation.
 The State Federation of Labor's non-partisan plan of endorsement fla vors men who declare themselves for a modification of the Volstead ASt The Federation introduced into the last General Assembly bill to that effect, but it never came out of the

TUNXIS HILL DISTRICT TO BE SWEPT
 CLEAN OF MOONSHINE AND BOOTLEGCERS
Fairfield Authorities Proposed Inct Jail Sentences Upon Offenders, Which Will Not Be Suspended Sheriff Elwood Tells of Projected Crusade

StiI1sI StiIlsI and more stills are to be found in Fairfield according to an offincial in Fairfield today. It became known that TunXis Hill is harboring many a still, and a determined effort by the Fairfield police to round up the illegal booze makers will be made.
 For some time past the booze mak- CTS and sellers have been a constant source of annoyance and worry to the Fairfield police authorities. Several repeated attempts have been made to round up Tunxis Hill but the authori- ties have been busy with other cases and have not been able to devote their time to the liquor law violatorS.
 Sheriff Elwood, who conducts the majority of the raiCS, was interviewed on the subject and said: "Ohcers Gould Bennett and myself are going to start a campaign in the Tunxis Hill district.
 We have done some work up in that part of Fairfield and our efforts have been amply rewarded. How ever, we do not feel that the great majority of the places have been raided and we intend to do so within week.
 ''It is shameful the way that booze is being manufactured and sold in that part of Fairfield and it is a di- rect defiance of the law. There are

foreigners who fnhabit the district and they always have been great ones for violating the laws and especially those concerning liquor. Gallons and gallons of mash will be seized and much completed whiskey will be sezzed."
 The. judges in the Fairfield town court and the prosecutor have been quite strict with the liquor law vio- lators- Now they will not only im- pose stiff fines but will also hand out jail sentences. several of the liquor ma nufacturers who have been mak- ing the moonshine have been handed jail sentences, but in nine cases out of ten the jail part has been sus- pended. They VIII not be suspended in the future, it was learned
 Another bad feature about the moonshtners on Tunxis Hill is that when they are hailed into court they do not understand English and an in terpreter Is needed
 Numerous fights have been started by the foreigners on Tunxis Hill and nearly every time the offenders have been those who have been making the moonshine. Serious trouble has re- suited from the fights and it is thought that if the violations of the liquor laws are stopped the fighting will cease.

 Those who favor a modification of the act point out that sentiment Is stronger than ever in favor of it, par have resented taking from them their personal liberties in the matter Of In duIgence in liquor. light or strong.
 Canvass of the national league op- posed to prohibition in New Haven county showed a majority against the Volstea dact when their ballot was completed. To combat the effects or the act an organization, the Connecti- cut League Opposed to Prohibition, has been formed with non-partisan purpose of securing the election to light wine and beer platform. This league contains members of both par ties, and has already held a few en- thusiastic meetings in this city.
 Speaking from the view point of the laboring man on this subject of prohibition, Patrick F. O'Meara, president of the Trades Council. said this morning, ''The laboring man is more and more rallying to the sup port of those who want a modified come to appreciate now, if he did not before, that prohibition has been foisted upon him, and other workers. through the instrumentality, largely. of the manufacturers of the country. who had no particular interest in bis welfare except to get more work out of him, for less money.
 '"The working man has not been considered in the vote, nor any other citizen. His viewpoint is to this ef- fect-these representatives in con- gress went ahead and voted a prohi- bition country upon us, I had noth- ing to say about it. I should have my vote upon the matter whether my drink is to be taken from me. And he reasons that he can register his vote through his support of men in the General Assembly who will represent him directly The wei and dry issue will be a strong one in the coming state campaign"
