GARRETT APPOINTMENTS .
ANNOUNCED BY GOVERNOR
Supervisors and Justices of the
Peace For Various Districts
Proceedings Yesterday

State House, Annapolis, Nd, Feb.
23.-The House of Delegates today
rejected the proposed child labor
amendment to the Federal Constitu-
ton, and voted in favor of petitioning
Congress to enact legislation which
would empower the various states to
determine for themselves the percen-
tage of alcohol to be contained in nom
alcoholic beverages sold within their
borders.
Rejection of the child labor amend
ment, which was plank in the Demo-
cratic platform on which Governor
Richie was elected last November,
was effected with the adoption of the
Marbury joint resolution, SO to II.
The Senate has yet to act on the reso-
luton.
The vote in favor of petitioning
Congress to allow the states local con-
troll of the liquor problem came with
Reconsideration of the Callan joint
resolution, which was defeated in the
House yesterday, with nineteen mem
bers absent, by lack Of a constitution
al majority. Brought out for recon-
sideration today, the resolution found
constitutional majority behind it
and was adopted, 81 to Az 1t has not
yet been acted upon in the Senate.
Lee Explains Stand
Explaining his stand in favor of
the resolution, Speaker E. Brooke Lee
said:
This joint resolution asks national
legislation to permit the several
states to determine the percentage of
alcohol in Notwithstanding beverages
and it seems in line with the theory
of local self government and the re-
turn of the liquor question to the
jurisdiction of the several states and
l am supporting it on these general
principles"
IF a statewide enforcement act
or statewide re-enactment of the
Volstead Act is offered, which in eff
feet would be passing local enforce
ment act for Baltimore City and sew
eral of the counties Of the state, over
the unanimous protest of their rep
resentatives in this House, I shall
vote against such a statewide enforce
ment act as an invasion of the prin-
ciple of local self-government."
81 shall further vote for reason
able local option or prohibition laws
that have the unanimous support of
the delegation from the county ask
ing the law, again upon the principle
of local self-government."
Joseph Again Starts Argument
Delegate Daniel Joseph, of Balti-
more, once more threw the House in
to an uprore with the offering of an
order which would require all reports
to be held over for day, to allow
members to familiarize themselves
with amendments. Over his protest,
the order was consigned to the rules
committees and what Mr.. Joseph as
serted would be lingering death.
The furore over the Joseph order
shook the House for nearly half an
hour. Majority Floor Leader James
]. Lindsay, who offered the motion to
commit the order to the rules COM
mittee, said "this is another attempt
on the part Of Mr.. Joseph to dictate
the policies of the House"
