tempt to obtain repeal of Michigan's
State prohibition law and announce
r1ent that an attempt will be made in
the Legislature to obtain a popular
referendum on the prohibition question
launched both houses of the Legislature
into turmoil of debate between vets
and drys yesterday.
Representative Robert d. Wardell,
wet leader in the House, made an un-
successful effort to obtain repeal OF the
State prohibition law by attaching a
rider to bill repeating several obso-
lete laws. He designated the law he
desired repealed only by number.
What law is that?" some one asked
from the floor.
THE prohibition law of 1917" War
dell replied. 1T is unconstitutional
and obsolete in the public mind"
Motion Held Out Of Order.
Speaker Fred r. Ming ruled the
Wardell motion out of order because
the bill under consideration applied
only to laws actually obsolete"
The referendum was proposed In the
Senate by Senator Cass Jankowski of
Detroit. Encouraged by reports from
wisconsin OF wet victory In the refer
endum there; Senator Jankowski said
he would sponsor such q test in Michi-
gan. Every effort will be made, he said,
to bring the question before the voters

Jankowski professed to see in a re-
cent amendment to the State criminal
code removing liquor offenses from the
possibility of life imprisonment under
the habitllal criminal law wet trend
throughout the State. The amendment
became effective yesterday when signed
by Gov. Fred w. Green.

State dry leaders and the Rev. r. N.
Holsaple, State superintendent Of the
Anti-Saloon League. ridiculed q state
ment by Jankowski that he believed
the State prohibition law would be re-
pealed If submitted to a referendum.
Everything in the past they said, has
Indicated an overwhelming dry senti-
ment in the State, and Holsaple de-
clared no Legislature would be "politi-
cally foolhardy enough to take such
STEP" .e.~..

SHORTAGE OF LABOR
REPORTED IN MINES
Gold Production in South Africa
Said to Be Seriously
Curtailed.

The gold mines Of the Witwatersrand
area of the Union, of South Africa,
which produce half of the worlds sup
ply, are threatened by q serious labor
shortage, a direct result of the curtail
ment by the Portuguese authorities Of
the emigration of natives from Mozam-
bique. BY the terms Of the Mozarn-
bique agreements between South Africa
and Portugal last year the, supply OF
native labor from Mozambique is lin
tied to $4,000. This means q reduction
Of anything up to 10000. The collier
les, operating on q lower wage scale
than the gold mines, were the first to
be hit Farmers. too have found them
selves In serious position. Some years
ago natives were brought to the mines
from north of latitude az south, and
they died like flies. They we're re-
cruited in Winter. and coming from the
low veldt to the cold air Of the high veldt
the mortality was naturally high. Just
as the organization was beginning to
be perfected the recruiting of natives
