RITCHIE FLAYS
PROHIBITION AS
DISMAL FAILURE
Maryland Chief Says 18th
Amendment Cuts Into
States Rights.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Jan. IA. U.P)--
Governor Albert Cabell Ritchie, in
an address looked upon as embody-
ing his 1882 presidential platform,
today scathingly denounced "the in
ability of the federal government to
shape or control the forces that
brought about the (present econo-
mic) crisis, and its palpable impo-
tence in the hour of disaster"
He reiterated his stand for repeal
of the 18th amendment.
In his fourth inaugural address
the Maryland governor gave a crys-
tallized version of the gospel OF
the states rights he has been ex-
pounding for the past 10 years. Vir-
tually the entire speech was devoted
to national affairs. 1t was broad
cast over nationwide radio
hook-up.
Standing in the historic state
house where the continental con-
gress met, Ritchie gave his views on
industrial depression, tariff, water
power, prohibition and other matters
of national moment. He called for
a movement away from what he
termed overcentraliZation of power
and predicted the turning point was
at hand.
Ritchie said the 18th amendment
was 1.-The high water mark" of the
trend toward Capitalization of gov
ernment.
mo matter what the findings OF
the Wickersham commission may
be-" he said, they cannot end, nol
can they minimize, the injury to the
cause of reasoned temperance, the
unhappy temptations to the youth
of the land and the lawlessness
which have resulted from putting
prohibition into the constitution
where it ought not to be, instead
of leaving the question to the
states"

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j.,
June 10 CUS0.-"Even though

against the wall, labor will not
willingly accept a general reduc-
tiOn in wages"
William Green, president of the
America Federation of Labor,
sounded this battle cry in an ad.
dress before an unemployment and
economic conference under aus.
pices of Rutgers University here
last night. He added:
whenever and wherever i'm
posed, it will be because of force

In spite Of its opposition. Labor
will not join in the pursuit of a
policy which, if applied and fol
lowed, will intensity human dis

"The cry of distress is in
creasing in volume as winter
approaches until thinking peO-
pie begin to realize that it
constitutes a serious social men
ace"
The primary need of the ma.
ton is to develop and encourage
the buying power of all classes OF
ne0Dle. Mr.. Green said The hllV.
ing power of 100000 unemployed
and their dependents-a total Of
$4,000, ,000-has been destroyed, he
said. Added to that is the fear
that prevents millions of others
from exercising their full buying
capacity. Thus wage cuts would
destroy still more buying power
and make the situation far worse
than it is at present, he declared.
