h.E.OF |. DEMANDS
.2.75 BEER FROM
BOTH OLD PART|ES
Federation, However, OPP
poses Repeal of the 18th
Amendment

MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 20 tR - The
American Federation of Labor will de-
mand of both major political parties
the inclusion of 275 beer in their
campaign platforms.
This announcement ws,s made late
today by President William Green
after the legislative council of the
federation had heard the plea of the
United Brewery workers, presented
by Joseph Overfield.
The federation for several years has
favored real beer" as a step toward
temperance, it is said, but this will
be the first time that the demand
has been framed in time for inclusion
in the legislative program to be pre-
sented to the major parties during
their election year conventions.
The Los Angeles convention last
year went on record as favoring
amendment of the Volstead act.
Mr. Green said he wanted it dis
tinctly understood that the federation
does not favor repeal or amendment
to the 18th amendment. The Vol
stead act only is out of favor.
"It is the concensus of the con-
vention," he said, "that 2.75 per cent
beer, pure and handled under gov
ernment supervision, at reasonable
prices, would make for temperance
in that it is not intoxicating, and fol

ENGLISH RELIGIOUS CONTROVERSY

LONDON, Jan. 90 (AP)-An-
other move in the religious strife
featuring the life of England at
present was made today with
publication Of the newly revised
prayer book of the Church of
England, which will be submitted
y the church assembly on Feb.
8. If ratified, by the church
assembly, the book will again go

the most dramatic debates in

church authorities had IabOred
20 years.
Coming closely on the heels of
publication of the malineS con-
versations, which had sought
church unity and the pope's en-
cyclical stating definitely that
return to Rome was essential for
church unity, the renewed at
tempt to obtain approval of the
revised prayer book by the house
of commons is expected to add
fuel to the flame of religious
controversy. This controversy has
its genesis in charges by one sec
ton of the church of England
that the revised prayer book is

Roman Catholic forms and prac-
ticeS.

under criticism, but it is under

minor and ineffective ones by
the extreme Protestant
A renewed fight on the revision
consequently is expected both in
the church assembly and in par

new measure will reach the house

Among the chief alterations is the

Third Party Formed

A third party will not be formed by boilers from
che Kansas City and Houston conventions, according
to New York dispatches, which announce that a third
party has already been formed. and that the aforesil
boilers must be content with a fourth or fifth party.
General James A. COxey, Of 'Caxeys army" fame.
has the distinction Of having organized the third party
which is expected to receive the vote Of the "colored
brethren" Of the south who have heretofore been cast
ing their ballots for the republican candidates.
The new party is Of the most pronounced BLACK
and tan" type. and bears the name of the "interracial
Dependent Political Party" In addition to receiving
the support Of the negro voters it is designed to cap
ture the support Of the communist and radical socialist
voters Of the east and north.
General Coxcy, with his usual modesty, nominated
himself as the presidential candidate Of the third
party, and Simon p. W. Drew, a New York negro pas
tor. was selected as his running mate. The third party
convention passed resolutions thanking Mayor William
Thompson Of Chicago for the support rendered Oscar
De Priest, negro candidate for congress on the repub-
lican ticket in q Chicago district.
To southern voters the move started By General
Coxey has much the appearance Of comedy, bat to the
radical elements Of the north and east and the negro
voters Of the south It viii have considerable appeal,
and his ticket will probably poll as large a vote as any
"bolter' ticket that may be placed in the field after
the Kansas City and Houston conventions.
