The resolution follows:
The Resolution Adopted.
Resolved, That we, guests at lunch
con assembled, do stand back of the
effort OF the Molly Pitcher Club to check
any tendency on the part of our ma
tional Government to regulate the per-
sonal habits Of the American people ex-
cept those habits which may be desig-
mated as criminal and do protest
against the Volstead act as being un-
necessarily extreme.
I'VE believe in the platform of the
Association Against the Prohibition
Amendment, and that the sale Of light
wine and beer under State regulation
and the stronger spirits under Govern
ment control will stamp out all that
was obnoxious in the old system with
out impairing the personal liberties OF
the American people,"
Prohibition Director Day yesterday
forwarded circulars to hotels, restau-
rants, cabarets and other places in this
city asking them to prevent patrons
from violating the Volstead act by hip
toting and drinking with meals--and
without Mr.. Day suggests that man.
ayers have the following warning
printed on cards and placed on tables !:
please do not ask for intoxicating
liquors, for we have none. We earnestly
request the cooperation of all our guests
in seeing that no liquors are brought
into or consumed on these premises. II
is Illegal to transport such prohibited
beverages, and the management assumes
no responsibility for any one detected
doing so."
According to Mr.. Day, managers, own
ers and others holding positions of re-
sponsibility who continue to tolerate
open and fragrant violations will be con-
sidered not only as guilty as their pa
irons, but will also be subject to arrest
Under the Volstead act IL person is
convicted under such offenses the first
violation carries penalty of fine OF
not more than $500 and for the second
offence not less than s100 nor more than
$1,000 fine or Imprisonment for not more
