to pass the repeal it is necessary to
win a majority of both houses OF the
Legislature in thirty-six states. To
block the repeal it is necessary only
for the prohibitionists to hold a ma
jority in one house in each of thirteen
states. Since there are ninety-six state
legislative bodies a veto on repeal re-
sides in less than per cent Of them.
The World rightly estimates that re-
peal is impossible. L does not say why,
but, as stated above, the reason is that
those who are ciamoring for the return of
the outlaWed liquor traffic are in the hope
less minority.
1t must be remembered also that the
drys, who followed the requirements as
outlined above by the New York World,
did it without the votes of the women and
al time when nearly 100000 saloons and
scores of breweres and distilleries were
operating as wet recruiting stations. Vets
had the same opportunity to prevent sub
mission and ratification of the Eighteenth
Amendment as drys would have did vets
attempt repeal Drys did not believe the
task impossible and kept at the job until
they won-and won in constitutional
manner. Vets care less for the law and
the Constitution than do drys.
This is why vets, for which the World
is spokesman, throw up their hands, adj
nit they cannot repeal the Eighteenth
Amendment and attempt to nullify it

new YORK WORLD ADMITS REPEAL IMPOSSIBLE
Outlines Requirements for Repeating
Shows That Cannot Be Accomplished Because
Minority Advocates Modification Notification

The New York World is in accord with
wet leaders, notable among whom is
Senator Wadsworth. of New York, who
desire the restoration of the liquo- traffic
without going through the formality OF
repeating the Eighteenth Amendment
Wadsworth, since the drys have brought
out State Senator Cristman as an indie
pendent candidate to oppose Wadsworth
for seat in the United States Senate,
has announced that he is in favor of the
repeal OF the Eighteenth Amendment but
frankly admits this cannot be accom-
plished. Therefore, he is advocating mod
ihcation OF the Nolstead law, which
amounts to notification of the amend
ment. TIL. World newspaper also be-
lieves that the Eighteenth Amendment
cannot be repealed, but suggests that it
be forgotten and not enforced.
The World tells what vets must do in
order to repeal the amendment, and, with
these requirements for its repeal in mind,
that newspaper by inference at least, re-
pudiates its own declaration thai prohibit
ton has been foisted upon the country by

''an organized minority The World
makes it plain that no minority can write
an amendment into the Constitution. The
drys met all the constitutional require
ments in order to realize the amendment
and those requirements never could have
been met without an overwhelming dry
majority. The vets in order to repeal
must travel the same long, hard road.
The World newspaper says:
In order to repeal the Eighteenth
Amendment il would be necessary to
pass resolution by two-thirds vote
of both houses. Thirty three Sena-
tors out of the 531 legislators in both
houses can block the repeal at the out
set. A veto on repeal resides in per
cent of the representation at the cap
itol.
But suppose the repeal carries in
Congress. 1t has then to be ratified
by both houses of each Legislature in
thirty-six states. Seventy-two legis-
lative bodies must agree before there
can be a repeal. Thirteen legislative
bodies can block the repeal. In order

SO that the amendment will be without
effect. Vets favor notification. They are
working for such legislation as will make

mits this. In the editorial from which is
taken the above statement is also found
this statement:
If to legalize, let us say, light wines
and beer, or allow the states to deter
mine for themselves what alcoholic
content is legal-if this is nullifca-
ton, well that is then what it is.

MINE UNION GUSTS
FRANK HARRINGTON
Action Taken When Board

By Inc Associated Press.
SPRINGFIELD, H., August 81
Frank Harrington, long leading fig
ure in the ranks of union labor and
president of the Illinois district of
the United Mine Workers of America,
was yesterday deposed by the district
board when it was definitely ascer-
tanned that their president had &C
cepted employment as labor counsel
tor the Peabody Coal Co. of Chicago
Stuyvesant Peabody, president of
the company. announced that the
union leader. will become labor coun-
sci for the coal company.
The board of the district mine
workers declared the president office
vacant after international President
John l.. Lewis had laid before it
charges that harrington had signed a
contract with the Peabody company
for three years at $25,000-a-year
salary.
Fishwick Gets Place.
harrington, in the midst of a Euro
pean trip. cabled from Paris vir-
tual admission Of the charges, board
officers said, and newspaper dis
patches quoted him as saying that he
had planned to resign the mine work
ers' eXecutiveship in October, being
compelled at the age of SO by family
considerations to accept an offer of
employment paying five times his
present salary
The board adopted resolution pro
viding that harrington could regain
the district presidency by disproving
the charges of Lewis, but President
Lewis. Withholding other comment,
declared the offer of a trial was only
= gesture
F'arrington'S removal As president
was followed by promotion of Harry
ffShwlck, vice president, to the va
cant post
The disappearance of Harrington
from the councils of union labor
marks the end Of long strife between
Lewis and harrington over questions
of authority and policy. harrington,
a reputed rival of Lewis for the Inter
national Miners Union presidency at
the last election, had frequently ques-
toned Lewis authority as president
of the United Mine Workers, and in
1922 he was charged with trying to
make a separate wage contract for
Illinois mine workers.
Board Favored harrington.
Despite Lewis enmity. the Illinois
executive board was almost unani-
mously for harrington, his only oppoA
nent on the board being State Senator
William j. Sneed of Herrin, who an
nounced his candidacy several weeks
ago TO succeed Harrington at the De
cember election.
The board adopted a motion unani-
mOusly yesterday. however. to declare
the office of president vacant. The
motion was offered by Walter Nesbit,
secretary and treasurer. The first
charges of Farringtons detection were
made last week when Lewis laid be-
fore the board what were purported
TO be copies of the contract signed by
Harrington and. Of kilograms between
him and the Peabody finn.
Harrington left for Europe on July
/ and plans to return within a few
weeks. He is expected to go at once
into the employ of the Peabody Co.
