THIRSTY SOULS
BEG CONGRESS-
FOR '2.75' Beer
A. F. of L. In Wet Group
Before Committee

fspeciaI TO The Daily Worker,
WASHINGTON, April 21.- Beer
and anti-beer groups battled today
before the house Judiciary committee
in support Of their views.
Fifty-nine identical beer bills, az
of which would permit the manufac-
ture and Mle of a pre-volsted bever-
age, were taken up by the commit
tee, while advocates of modification
of the volstead act urged adoption of
one of them and drys condemned
them all.
The house wet bloc, headed by Rep
resentatives Hill, Maryland, and Dyer,
Missouri, brought the bills to the
committees attention today at pub
lie hearing Both Dyer and Hill were
scheduled to deliver speeches in be-
half of favorable committee action.
A. r. Of L. viii BE Heard.
Representatives of the Joint Legis-
lative Committee, American Fedora
ton Of Labor, the association against
the eighteenth amendment, the Con-
stitutional Liberty Lsague of Massa-
chusetts, and the Moderation League,
incorporated, will then be heard.
Julian Goldman, Boston, spokes-
man for the fourth organization, will
tell the committee that the modifica-
ton groups represent a voting
strength of FIVE million and that these
people regard the Volstead law as
failure.
Representatives of the American
Federation of Labor will follow Cod
man.
Wayne B. Wheeler, leader OF the
anti-saloon league forces, will tell the
committee that the proposed beer
modification Of the law is only the
first wedge which foes of prohibition
hope to drive into the law.
"2.75" Beer 10 Wet Goal.
The proposed beer bill would
amend the Volstead act by defining
intoxicating alcohol content to be 2.75
per cent. This 2.75 per cent, once the
butt of all ridicule. has now become
one OF the longed-for goals OF those
who yearn for beer, however, weak.

CLEVELAND LABOR
FIGHTS PLAN TO
JAIL 6 WORKERS
Then Endorses Project
For New Jail

CLEVELAND, April 21.--The Cleve.
land Federation Of Labor at its last
meeting passed resolution condemn
ing the attitude Of the authorities in
the city of Farrell, Pa, where six
members of the South Slavic Fedora
ton Of the Workers Party will go on
trial under the criminal syndicalism
law Of the state of Pennsylvania. The
unions Of Cleveland are helping the
defense council and several Of them
have already voted financial assist
ance, among them the joint board Of
the Amalgamated, SIS; Painters Lo-
cal, $25, and Slate and Tile Roofers,
SIS. An effort is being made to put
the case before all trade unions in
the city Of Cleveland before the trial
today.
Build Jail for Themselves.
The federation at the same time
voted to indorse a proposition to build
a new Jail and county building after
listening to a representative from the
Chamber Of Commerce, who, strange
as it may seem, came to plead with
organized labor for the support Of this
measure in the city election.
The building tradesmen were unan-
imous in the support Of building a
new Jail, as it would give more work
to them, but warned the Chamber of
Commerce representative that if there
was going to be any attempt made to
erect the building under the so-called
open shop the Building Trades Coun-
Gil would be ready to eight you to
the limit, as we are always fighting
your Chamber of Commerce and do
not trust you"
For Workers Only.
Several embarrassing questions
were asked this worthy representative
Of the capitalist class, as for instance
whether only members of the work
ing class would fill the jail, with all
of the rich idlers who ought to be in
jail going free. He was told by an
other delegate that the economic So
ciety which he was helping to defend
was the cause of all the social evils
and therefore also the jails.
The opposition was led by a delegate
from the printers union, who accused
the Chamber of Commerce of trying
to break up the unions, and informed
the delegates that these Chamber of
Commerce men have all their printing
done at scab shop. The delegates
seemed to be very disinterested when
speakers were only arguing on the
basis of taxes, but were much more
enthused when the Chamber. of Com.
merce was assailed as an enemy OF
labor.

Grafton. Cars should not be bought

PIRATE PART BUYING
FALLACY EXPLAINED
Substitutes Not Made for Car Fail
to Perform Duty Properly,
Expert Says.

The faIlacy on the part of motor
lists in buying onbrand or pirate
parts, instead of genuine parts for
replacement, when anything goes
wrong with their car, is pointed out
in a statement made by w. A Fred
erick chief engineer Of the Cont
mental Motors Corpora ton.
Too few people realize the inrpor-
tance of using genuine parts for re-
placements in their automobile" )"
said Mr.. Frederick. They arc tempt
ing fate by substituting a part not
made by the original maker OF the
motor or the car. This may not be
apparent on the face of it. but the
fact that a part looks like the origi-
nal does not mean that it is the
same. An offbrand replacement crank
shaft, for instance, may have the
same appearance and measurement Of
the original, but the fabrication of
the steel may be entirely different

Of the service committee OF the WASH

ton, as set forth in a bulletin sent
to dealers along Automobile Row
tins week.
Coming from the service bmnch of
the business, this suggestion has
been taken as a basis of serious con-
s,deration of the matter, and many
members of the W. A. T. a. are sa;d
to be asking prospects to start shop
ping considerably in advance of the
actual time planned for purchase.
The bulletin points out that serv-
rec managers in analyzing causes Of
dissatisfaction have discovered that
many persons fail TO take the neces-
sary time TO buy the make or model
thcy actually need. Rushing head
leng into the shopping process at the
la-t moment, 1t is said, they too
often buy the wrong car for their

Buoyant and Enthusiastic,

BY MUNROE ROBERTS,

NEW YORK, June 14.-Buoy-
ant and enthusiastic conditions
with daily transactions reaching a
volume not matched since January,
1922, were witnessed in the bond
section Of the New York stock ex-
change during the past week.
Responding originally 70 The
impetus supplied blythe news OF
the United States Treasury's cffer-
ing Of $15O.OO0.0O0 OF certificates OF
Indebtedness at the prewar interest
figure Of ~ per cent, the momen-
tum was greatly increased on the
announcement by the Federal Re-
serve Bank Of New York and Bos-
ton OF a further reduction in their
rediscOunt rate from to 3h per
cent, the first time In the history
OF the reserve system that such
low figure had been declared opera,
tive in all classes of rediscounr
paper.
This official recognition Of the
existing superabundance Of money
supplies was Immediately followed
by q fresh crumbling Of monetary
rates to levels prevailing before the
world war, and consequently, by
feverish buying Of fixed revenue
bearing securities.
The greatest boom occurred in
United States Government bonds
which under phenomenal transact
= tons attained fresh record prices.
Occasional short selling was in
obliged In. by spectators on the
theory that these bonds were APP
preaching the maximum limit Of
the advance, but as quotations
scared to still higher levels these
bear lines were hastily taken IN.
The movement gave rise to conjec-
ture as to the possibility Of long
term bopd issue by the Treasury
before the end of this year. 1t was
the concensus Of banking opinion
that a continuation of the present
situation would virtually assure the
success OF such a plan. 2
All other gilt edged paper, in
GLIDING short termed securities, mu-
ntcipa!s, legal rails and high grade
tndustrials and public utilities, were
traded in at a lively pace jumping
up In an Impressive manner, out

was the feverish demand for oblfga-
tons Of semi-speculative tyne and

ton which made itself felt in the
case of many high class bonds.

Foreign government also fell in
line under the leadersh'- Of British

to new high levels for the current
year.
