Commissioner Tigert told the COM

rleS, had left the bureau at salaries
two and three times as large, and said
that he himself had several offers in
outside work at two or three times

prove satisfactory.

DRY LAW REPEAL
MOVE IN MARYLAND
Legislature Again Expected
to Renew Fight Against
VoIstead Act.
special Dispatch to The Star.

optcldi D1kpdtcn 10 i ne StdE
ANNAPOLIS. Md. January 2s.-An
attempt Will be made at this session
of the Maryland Legislature to pass a
joint resolution calling on Congress
to repeal the Volstead act. according
to well authenticated information
current in the lobby of the state
house here. A similar attempt was
made during the 1922 session. but the
resolution died in committee as the
session adjourned.
This year. however, the lineup or
vets and drys in the two houses ap-
parently gives the vets the prepon-
derance of stress and It is understood
that the resolution will be introduced
in the house this week by D. X. T..
Bruce Of Baltimore city, son of United
States Senator Bruce.
Every year since Maryland ratified
the prohibition amendment there mas
been an attempt made to pass a state
enforcement act through the legisla-
ture, but each attempt has been de-
feated after bitter fignt. Last year
such an act was the center of pro
longed maneuvering and finally
passed the house, to be killed in the
senate by one vote.
AS general rule the delegates
from the various counties of the
state are elected dry" while the
delegation from Baltimore city is
"wet," and along these city-county
lines the fight was developed. In
the past the counties have been able
to muster considerable stress and leg
.slation backed by them usually was
passed. However, the last session of
the legislature increased the repre-
sentation of Baltimore in the house
to equal one-third of the entire mem
bership and, gave the city two extra
senator's With this Increase in
strength, both houses at the begin
ming of the session were organized
distinctly wet. in the senate the tenn
perance committee having three wet
senator's and two drys. In addition,
Senator Walter Mitchell, democratic
floor leader, Is wet. as is Senator
David Mcintosh, president of the SEN
ate.
In the house the temperance COM
mittee is easily wet by safe ma
jority and the speaker and Delegate
Frank S. Givens, democratic floor
leader. is wet also.
A count of noses in both houses
tends to uphold the belief that If such
resolution comes to a vote II has
chance to pass.
