New York Democrat Commit.
teeman Blames This Condi-
ton on Prohibition

Washington. April 8.-R-The
theory American women are contrib
uting to the depression by spending
money abroad appeared Wednesday
In the mass Of comment on the Ras-
kob home rule plan.
Norman E. Mack, Buffalo, New
York National Democratic commit
teernan, was in Washington when he
read the letter from Chairman Ras-
kob asking platform suggestions from
national committeeman.
Mack said he thought the 1882
platform should include a plan for
repeal Of the 18th amendment where
as the national committee chairman
proposed that amendment be retained
and another adopted to permit states
to decide individually whether they
would have prohibition.
ITO my mind" Mack asserted, 1.-The
bottom is out of prohibition"
Basing his statement on observa-
tons at the border point of Buffalo.
Mack said he thought the amount Of
money Americans were spending in
Canada and abroad contributed to
"the condition in this country"
Every day hundreds of automobiles
cross over to Canada" he said.
The tourists. he added, mot only
spend the day in Port Erie but a day
in Hamilton. perhaps, o. a week in
Toronto.
IF all they did was wine and dine,
he explained, Il wouldn't object, but
every woman who goes with her hus-
band is under the impression that
she can save money In buying Cana
dian goods. The amount Of money
spent in Canada by American women
Is tremendous"
Meanwhile, others continued to
express divergent opinions on the
Raskob poll. Senator Norris, Repub-
lican, Nebraska, a leader at the recent
P~rogressi@cs' conference, said he be-
lieved Raskob was attempting to de-
velop a sham battle" owe prohibi-
ton.
He said II prohibition cannot be
enforced it ought to be repealed. but
insisted it should have a further trial,
Il don't think the American people
will ever repeal the 18th amendment
until they have been given some def
mite plan they believe will work, he
said. 1.-The only solution so far pro-
posed Is q return to the saloon.
II think everyone will admit 1t
has not had a fair chance.
What we ought to do now Is to 90
right on with It, take 1t out of politics
and give it an honest trial.
1.-The lack Of enforcement comes
from the general breaking down OF
respect for law which civilization had
before the war"

that several other small villages are

Workers Department of the Needle
Trades Workers Industrial Union will
test the right to picket tomorrow
morning in front of the S. K. e. S. at
1877 Logan Ave, Jersey City, N. j.
The union is conducting a strike
in this shop as result of all the

to submit to 20 per cent wage cut.
This morning the police prohibited
the workers from picketing and even
prohibited some of them from enter
ing the house of co-worker, who
lives on Logan Ave.
The union intends to fight for the
elementary rights of the workers and
for the right to picket, and will there
fore picket this shop despite the in
reference of the police. An officer

the Negro masses of America come

from their present plight. Under
capitalism they are doomed to ex-
ploitation and oppression. The door
to better things is closed to the
American worker by his wage scale.
In Russia, where private profit is
being progressively abolished, there
will be no limit to the benefits the
worker may receive. When the Ne

Soviet system he is bound to ac-

Grant, who with other misleaders,
realize that their fright" to rob and
exploit the workers is challenged by
Communism, bitterly denounced Pat
terson for his views, and aroused
such hot resentment among the Ne
gro workers present that one of his
henchmen sneaked out of the crowd
and sent in call for the police
allies of the Carney misleaders, the
came police who with Grant were
responsible for the murder of Com

spite of the presence of the police,
however, the workers continued to
jeer Grant right up to the end OF
