SENATOR EDGE
 CONTINUES FIGHT
Demands DryS Let People Settle
 Dispute

Washington, April 30 H>-ASert- Ing that Volstead act violation is not sectional, but universal. Senator Edge. republican. New Jersey, yes terday challenged the drys In and out of congress to so direct to tho people on the question of the modi- fication Of that law.
 Carrying the wet and dry contro- versy back 10 the senate floor from the Judiciary committee hearing room, the New Jersey senator de- clared the vets would welcome "the verdict Of the people," He charged that on the other hand the drys feared it. as evidenced by their op- position before the senate prohibi- ton committee.
 "The drys have been emphatic in their contention that public senti- ment in this country has not changed" The senator said they know full well that if they felt at all conhwent in that assertion, rather han raise technical objections, they would welcome a national rcferen- dunn in order to justify their loud boasts
 T would like to see this congress authorize one with three queries presented to the voters: First, as to their view of a legal modification of the Nolstead act, necessarily within constitutional limitations; second, as to their view as to tho modification of or repeal of the eighteenth amendments; third, shall the Nolstead act and eighteenth amendment remain as now or be more drastic?
 'I recognize this congress will pass no legislation modifying the Nostead act, but you must recognize also that this great problem will in the meantime remain unsolved. This invasion Of homes; this running of the young; this disrespect for law; this wholesale corruption and terrific and ineffective expense will continue until congress itself fairly and squarely and properly meets the issue. All right then, let us get the word from home. l am con- yinced congress will never act until that message reaches Washington. We arc ready to accept this verdict. Why should not the drys? This congress will be faithless to it's trust If 1t adjourns without an effort at least to secure information upon which to base future legislation.
 Do not meet this demand by a legal quibble-that there is no way 10 provide for a national refcren- dunn. Where there is a will there is always d way. The constitution in no manner prohibits it. On the contrary the constitution clearly gives congress power to secure in- formation upon which to base legis- lation.
 Perhaps congress cannot make referendum compulsory, tut you know and I know if this congress invites the states to provide this in- formation for the use of congress. every state in the union will respond 10 the request. Tn fact individual states are already doing so on their own account. How much better and more conclusive to have the voters Of each state pass upon thei same Identical questions which national referendum would provide"

as though the government might be

to stoppage of all work in the pits
This belief was held despite the fact
that the premier has been untiring
In his warnings to the parties to the
dispute that they must not expect
continuance of the subsidy.
After hearing statements from
both sides in a joint conference to-
day, which revealed the incompati-
bility of the opposing viewpoints, Mr..
Baldwin remarked: ut is quite plain
that you have tied yourselves into
pretty knot. What 1 have to do
is to try to get the knot united or

then invited the two sides to form
small committees for negotiations
with him. These committees pre-
sented part of their case. and the
negotiations will be continued Nom
