down the steps in the front and found
a single aisle along the wall at one
side, marked off with a wire partition.

At the end of this entrance aisle the
food was being dispensed. A man push

wheat bread OF course, did not take
it. A little further on those who were
coming in were given tin cups of soup.
1t appeared to be vegetable and tomato

In the back I found a room about

walls where the men ate. 1t was

very orderly.

HUDSON DEFENDS
PROHIBITION LAW
Representative Tells w. C. T. u.
Personal Liberty Is Not Vio-
lated by Dry Act.

the traffic in liquor and, therefore, is
not violation of personal liberty, Rep

clared yesterday at a business meeting
Of the District w. C. T. U.
Revolt Of public opinion against
immortality to the Nation in operat-
ing the Government with revenue from
the liquor trafic made prohibition
necessary. Representative Hudson said.
Il would like, on this anniversary day
Of the adoption Of the eighteenth
amendment, to cali attention to some
confusion that has been created in the
mind of the American public in the
use Of certain names by the press of
the country" he continued.
Men are termed bone dry dry,
wet moist, damp. Some are desig-
mated as personally dry, but politically
wet: others, personally wet, but po-
liticaily dry
''As far as the eighteenth amend
ment Is concerned, there can be but two
terms. One is either dry or he is wet"
The meeting which was held in the
Roosevelt Hotel, was followed by a
luncheon
DR.. Walter Mark Depp, pastor of
Calvary Methodist Episcopal Church,
asserted, THE public sentiment back
OF PRESIDENT H0oVerS EFFORTS 70 enforce
prohibition is far stronger than the men
on Capitol Hill realize" He also said
the prohibition law" has revealed law
lessness, but does not develop it,
About $50 guests and members were
present. including Mrs. Jesse Nicholson,
national president Of the Democratic
Law Enforcement League; Mrs. @. A.
Youngquist wife of the Assistant At

WOMEN DENOUNCE
PR|CE-F|X|NG BILL
House Leaders Told Pro-
posed Law Would Make
Consumers Suffer.

House Leader Tilson, Representative
Clyde Kelly of Pennsylvania, sponsor
of the so-calIed "price-fixing BILL" and
other members of Congress today
protests against this legislation from
Mrs. Albert N. Baggs, president of
the HousekeeperS' Alliance of the Dis
trict of Columbia, and Mrs. Harvey
w. Wiley, widow of the pure food
expert
They asked for recommitment of the
bill and that public hearing be held
upon this legislation before it is again
brought before the House for action.
A special rule, reported in the last
session of Congress, gives this measure
privileged status for preferential con-
Sideration in the House.
Interested groups have been trying
to obtain legaliZed retail price fixing"
by manufacturers for some Is years,
and various measures have been pro-
posed, but no public hearings have
been held on the question since 1926,
and none on the provisions OF the
bill as 1t has been reported out for
action.
Comes Up Next Week.
Notice has now been given that it
will be brought up for passage next
week, and consumers, especially house.
wives who, as dispensers Of the house.
hold budget, will feel most keenly the
increased living costs which, economists
predict. will inevitably result If 1t is
enacted into law, are protesting IN
increasing numbers against action on
such a vital and revolutionary measure
without any public hearings for two
sessions of Congress.
The letter from the Housekeepers'
Alliance, signed by Mrs. Baggs, was, IN
part, as follows:
we understand that this bill is to
permit the manufacturers the right to
dictate the resale price of merchandise,
and to make this right enforcible by law.
Sees Public Suffering.
The consuming public is bound to
suffer from this law, which would pre-
vent a manufacturer from selling his
goods at price suitable to his patrons,
to his neighborhood and to the condt-
tons of the trade"
Mrs. Wiley said:
cit seems incredible that at time
like this, when millions of people are out
of work and tens of millions of dollars
are being raised to provide them with
food, clothing and shelter, the Con-
gresS would dare to even consider q
measure like this"

MINNEAPOLIS REVIEW

Minneapolis. May 9.-A1-(U. S. Dep.
Of Agr.)-Although wheat prices av-
eraged a shade easier toward the close
of the week ending Friday, yet gen.
eral market undertone was stubborn
throughout n net price changes for
the week small.
Cash wheat receipts proved some
what larger than the week previous,
but a strong tone prevailed. May
wheat at Minneapolis closed Friday
at 79Bc.
Domestic flour price continued dull
and featureless.
Durum held practically steady, in
cash and futures.
Rye was the strongest grain and
showed Independent action. May rye
at Minneapolis closed at 33kc, an ad-
vance of 2bc for the week.
Oats also were improved. Extremely
low prices apparently are stimulating
consumption. May oats at Minneapo-
lis advanced 1hc during the week
and closed at 255sc.
Barley, slightly firmer. showed q
small price gain. Minneapolis May
barley advanced &c for the week,
closing at S2&c. Flax, particularly
for nearby delivery, showed no price
change. The ASH movement held up
fairly we'll. with receipts considerably
over a year ago. May flax closed at
$1.52, the same figure as for the pre-
Vious week.

RUSSIAN REPORTS
Bring WHEAT. UP:
!. CORN GETS BOOST
Say Soviet Has Planted Only
0ns-Third as Many Acres
as a Year Ago

Chicago, May 9.-(P)-Wheat and
corn both made decided advances Sat-
urday, wheat affected bullishly by re-
ports of severe delays to seeding in
Russia. Only a third as many acres
Of spring wheat, it was estimated, had
been seeded by Russia this seaso as
a year ago. Active speculative buy
ing lifted the corn market.
Wheat closed firm. unchanged to l
Ia cents up, May old 81 SD, July 63
So to 3-4. Corn So to 2 advance,
May old SO ga. July 81 IL to ga.
Oats q shade to 3-8 higher, and provi-
sions showing 2 to S cents gain.
Anxiety prevailed regarding possible
tiles of a sudden and prolonged dry
warm period which would evaporate
surface moisture in the spring wheat
belt and aggravate lack of sub-soil
moisture. A leading authority was
quoted as asserting that frequent gen.
erous rains were imperative to avert
q poor crop. On the other hand, no
fresh overnight export business in
North American wheat was an
nounced.
Aside from adverse conditions fol
the planting, growth and movement
of corn, prices of that cereal were
strengthened by persistent smallness
of receipts. Chicago arrivals totaled
barely AZ cars. against 1872 a week
ago and 81 at this time last year.
Producers were reported to be reluc-
tant in parting with their small sup
plies until it was known positively
how the new crop developed. Oats
chiefly followed corn.
Provisions we're upheld by steadi-
ness of the hog market.
