REPEAL Of DRY
LAW IS TO BE
URGED
Resolution to Be introduced
at Maryland Labor Farley
Scores Enforcement.

Repeal of the prohibition laws
is urged in a resolution which Will
be brought to a vote today before
the Maryland and District of Column
bia Federation Of Labor, now i'll
annual convention at Hagerstown,
Md. The resolution was introduced
by Cornelius S. Ryan, Of Web Press
mems Union, No. 6, of Washington.
The resolution characterizes pro.
hibition as "un-American' because
it is a violation of the personal
liberties of a free people and was
imposed upon them through
trickery, by money and fanaticism. >
Declaring that temperance cannot
be legislated into a people, the
resolution continues with the fol-
lowing denunciation Of the present
law:
prohibition is vicious in its conse-
quences, in that it is the very prop
and fortune of the bootlegger. 1t
breeds defiance and disrespect Of all
law. 1t is a drain upon the pocket
Of the people and the Congress of
the United States is forced to ap-
propriate fabulous sums of money in
a futile attempt to enforce prohibi-
ton.
Prohibition prevents the country
from collecting a tax for the legal
sale and moderate use of intoxicants
and has let loose upon the people
bootleggers, tax dodgers, and tax
eaters without number.
Prohibition is wild in theory,
groundless in practice, and impossi-
BILE to enforce because a large ma
jority of the sane and safe citizen
ship do not want it and will not
have it,"
The resolution pledges support Of
the members for candidates for pub
lie office who "have the courage
of their convictions and the man
hood to declare by vote and voice
against prohibition"

SAYS ONE WORD
WOULD DRY UP
AMERICA
Congressman Stalker Would
Change "or" to ''and," Thus
Accomplishing Wonders.

BY the change of a single word
in the Volstead act prohibition can
be really enforced. That single
word is COR" Changing it to
land" would accomplish the results.
This, at least, is the opinion of
Congressman Gale H. Stalker, Re.
publican. of New York, who quotes
no less an authority than former
Congressman Andrew j. Volstead.
author of the enforcement act
bearing his name.
The Volstead act now reads that
persons convicted of violating the
prohibition laws shall be subject to
"fine or Imprisonment" Congress-
man Stalker would make it read
"fine and Imprisonment"
AS presently worded the enforce
ment act leaves It discretionary
with the court to impose either a
fine or a prison sentence. BY
changing cor" to 'and," the New
York Congressman says it would
be mandatory upon the court to
impose both fines and sentences on
prohibition violators, adding that
the change would reduce $50 per
cent Of present bootlegging actfv-
tiles"
