Their Platforms

Miami, Fla, Jan. 2l.-(AP)-
Organized labor's demand for a 2.75
per cent beer plank in the platform
Of the major political parties is
aimed only at the Volstead act, and
does not seek repeal Of the 18th
amendment to the constitution, says
William Green, president Of the
American Federation of Labor.
The demand that 2.75 beer be
made q political issue, which grew
out Of . plea Of the United Brewery
Workers before the executive coun.
Gil Of the federation here yesterday,
was predicated on the belief that 2.75
per cent beer is not intoxicating,
said Mr.. Green. He added it was
the consensus Of tho body that such
beverage, handled under govern.
ment supervision at reasonable
prices, would make for temperance.
I'VE see general and fragrant vic.
lation Of the prohibition laws as
they now stand" said the labor head
I'VE see rich men who are able Ia
pay the bootleg prices just about as
generously supplied with liquors as
they formerly were, and we see the
Iaboring man, the great mass Of the
people. either making bad home
brew or buying poison.

Aboard Goth Century Limited, en-
route to Chicago, Jan. II. - @ -
The longest continuous railroad
journey he has ever made today
brought William T. Cosgrave, pres
ident of the executive council Of the
Irish Free State, towards the fulfill
ment of long cherished desire to
visit Chicago.
Mr.. Cosgrave landed in New York
yesterday, setting foot for the first
time on American soil. and barely
three hours afterwards w;.s speeding
on his 960-milc trip westward for q
24-hour stay in Chicago.
His first day in the, United States
was crammcd with numerous inn
pressions of America and Amer
leans, to whom he comes on an an
nounced mission of good will. His
first trip on an American railway
was spent for the most part in re-
counting his impression. to his
colleagues in the Free State govern
ment. who arc accompanying him,
rs well as in storing uT others while
he gazed out the window of this
crack New York Chicago flyer.
Silent on Politics
Only when he was asked about
political affairs in ireland, England
or the United States, by m Associ-
ated Press correspondent. did the
47-year-old head Of the Irish Free
State decline to commit himself.
His reticencc disappeared when he
was asked to talk abo,:' his trip.
A source of wonder to him was the
all-steel railways cars, witt. their
comfortable interiors, and tie huge
steam engines that thunC~ red west
ward with a long train of cars at a
speed of more than 20 miles an hour
at times. Another source # inter-
est was furnished by newspapers,
purchased for Tim at various points
en- route, in which he eagerly read
the reports and looked at the news
photographs Of his arrival.
Papers Give Lot For Money
".Your papers give people a lot
for their money. just look at the
size Of them. / shouldn't be sur
prised if you couldn't buy the news
print paper alone for two or three
cents. And your American report
ers ! have found to be very much on
the 60, and I've enjoye. meeting
them"
Almost continually after leaving
New York, Mr.. Cosgravc kept up q
rapid fire of questi ranging from
the population of various cities and
the cost Of railroad travel to the dif-
ference between central and eastern
standard time.
Mr.. Cosgrave and his party plan
to leave Chicago at noon Sunday for
Washington. where they will spend
four days.

Want Bill Enacted
I'VE, Of the Kansas delegation
believe in the equalization fee but
agree that little hope Of its enact

Is because Of the attitude taken BY
