Reviewing his European observations,
Mr.. Young said: "I find industrial re-
lations in Europe are predominantly
controlled by legislation, but with ex-
ceedingly apparent evidences on the
part of your foremost enterprises of I'M
willingness to rely on the statutes alone
for the security either of their employer
or the human relationship within their
plants"
In Europe, he added, there was con-
siderable dependence on legislation to
protect the workers against uncertainty.
I'm The United States, however, ap-
proach to these same issues has been
quite otherwise +" he said. Private and
social rather than governmental, agen-
cies have taken the weight of RESPONSE
bility"
Mr.. Young agreed, however. that
there is a growing tendency even in
America toward government control of
industrial relations and activities, espe-
cially as regards accident compensation,
old age insurance and hours and con-
ditiohs of work for women and children.

CONTROVERSY OVER
PROHIBITION WAKES
HOT IN WASHINGTON
Party Lines MuddIsd Over the
Amendment Adding $24, ,ooo,
600 for Enforcement Work

Warrington, Jan. 29-(R-A phase
Of prohibition. the live wire Of poll.
tics. was today before the house.
Representative Wood Of Indiana
announced yesterday that he would
cali up the amendment adding $24,-
100000 for prohibition enforcement
to the first deficiency bill. shortly
after the house convened.
Since the proposal was first intro
duced In the senate by Senator Harris
Of Georgia it has been attended BY
controversy. Some vets are support
Ing It, some drys are against it, and
party lines are muddled.
Added to this was Secretary Mel.
Ions opposition to the proposal and
the fervent support given it by most
dry organizations. F. Scott Mcbride
superintendent Of the Anti-Saloou
league. after making statements that
were interpreted as supporting Sec
retary Melons position. later declared
tor the amendment, and has sent q
circular letter to representatives urg-
Ing its passage.
Representative Wood in his an
nouncement declared that he would
ask the house to reject the senate
amendment and send the entire
measure to conference. There seemed
little likelihood that any final decision
on the ~ O00. 900 would be made to-
day.
II no agreement should be reached
In conference the amendment would
be referred back to the house. and II
that comes supporters of the proposal
believe they will carry it through.
Democratic leaders, many Of whom
are for the amendment, feel that Il
the matter comes to q vote before the
house many drys who do not feel the
appropriation Is wise would neverthe-
,leGs vote for It. There are some who
have announced flatly their intention
Of fighting the amendment. among
them being CHAMPION Of Michigan, q
dry leader. He has said that he felt
that prohibition appropriations should
follow the same channel Is did others
Tor governmental purposes.

The other conferS permission on
cities to acquire such sites by pur-
chaSeS, lease or eminent domain.

50. both sponsored by Van Arnam.
The bill provides, also, said Mr..
Atkinson. that cities may acquire
these sites and maintain them out Of
their general funds within the 14-mill
