Election to Senate viii
Bring Vast Personal
Prestige to Fight.
VICTORY IS AMAZING
Illinois Dry Introduces Bill
to Change Existing
Prohibition Setup.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press stag Correspondent

WASHINGTON. June 19.-Though
prohibitionists still are cheer
ing the victory of Dwight w. Nor
row in New Jersey, drys insist it
means nothing, so far as a change
in the federal liquor laws is con-
cerned.
In the wake of Morrow's victory
house members had before them to-
day definite resolution to change
the existing prohibition setup by
amending the eighteenth amend
ment.
It was introduced late wednesday
by Representative Michaelson (Rep.,
ND, hitherto classed as a dry" He
also made a statement advocating
a national prohibition referendum
or a referendum by states.
Would Protect Dry States
His resolution would authorize
congress to suppress or regulate in
toxicating liquor. It's purpose, he
explained, would be to allow the
various states to be wet" as they
chose.
Meanwhile, safeguards would be
provided to protect dry" states
from the liquor traffic. It would.
he said, provide an adequate guar
antee against the recurrence of the
evils of the liquor traffic"
If Morrow is elected to the sem
ate in November he will bring great
personal prestige to the anti-pro-
hlbition cause. 1t has been lack
ing in leadership and has no one
of the caliber and strength of Nor
row to fight its battle in congress.
No Sign of Wet Harvest
However, repeal of the eighteenth
amendment can come about only in
two ways. One IS by legislatures of
two-thirds of the states calling upon
congress to summon a constitutional
convention to consider amendments.
The other is by two-thirds of each
house voting to submit a proposed
repeal amendment which would have
to be ratified by three-fourths Of
the states
With primaries in one-fourth Of
the states already over, there is no
sign of a harvest of wet nominees
for the house and senate, which
would change the complexion of con-
gress sufficiently to make possible
the submission of a proposed amend
ment.
AS to modification of the Volstead
act, sentiment in congress at the
moment appears still opposed to it.

State Fares Better Than
Others, but Still Is
Below Normal.
INDUSTRIAL CITIES HURT
Most Factories Operating
on CurtaiIed Schedules
of Production.
BY LAWRENCE SULLIVAN
Times STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 10
Although Indiana Jared better than
many other states, unemployment
showed a further increase in every
principal industrial city of the state
during May, and the monthly sur
vey of the labor department, pub
lished today, holds out hope for only
the normal seasonal improvements
during the summer.
The department does not tabu-
late the unemployed by cities or
states, nor does it give an estimate
of the total number who are out of
work because of the protracted in
dustrial depression. Expressing the
May results by comparisons with
April. however, the reports shows a
further general falling off OF bust
ness activity in every section OF the
country.
Production Curtailed
while the majority of the plants
in the various centers were in oper-
alton" says the Indiana summary,
"a number curtailed their produc-
ton schedules. Part time prevailed
in. the coal mines, with an employ
ment decrease noted. Automobile
and accessory factories and assem-
bly, plants operated on curtailed
schedules.
"Foundries and brass plants, screw
factories, iron and steel mills, glass
and pottery plants, furniture and
woodworking establishments and
auto body plants we're running part
time with reduced forces. Several
other miscellaneous factories oper-
ated on curtailed schedules. Con-
siderable unemployment was report
ed from various cities at the close
of the month"
Outdoor Work Gains
In indianapolis, increased activity
in outdoor operations took up some
of the spring slack, but building
operations still were below the sea-
sons normal at the end of the
month. Neither has road construc-
ton and railroad work absorbed as
MANY of the unemployed as was
anticipated in the spring forecasts
of President Hooyer's stability con-
ference.
"A surplus of workers continued
in all lines of industry" the Indian
apolis summary says. Practically
all plants we're running, but several
reported part time and reduced
forces"
In Evansville, several plants were
reported closed temporarily" About
$50 workers were involved in COM
plete suspensions.
"All other plants were in opera
ton. A few reporting part time
schedules. Furniture factories and
automobile-body plants reduced
their forces temporarily. releasing
1900 workers." the report said.
Farm Demand Fair
There was a fair demand for ex-
ira farm help in the vicinity, but
not sufficient to absorb the transient
labor offered. considerable unem-
ployment was apparent at the close
Of the month" .........
Three factories closed down COM
pletely in the Terre Haute district,
throwing out about 400 men. Michi
gan City and Muncie reported part
time schedules in every plant. An
other complete shutdown affecting
500 men was reported in Bloom
ington.
For the country as a whole, to-
days employment report is the least
encouraging of the 1880 series. No
major industry reported employ
ment gains for May among the
