TosseS Prohibition Before
Group Considering Plans

The prohibition issue was tossed
unexpectedly into the lap Of the
American Legion unemployment
conference today when a SpokeS-
man for the American Federation
Of Labor declared the legalization
of beer would do more to relieve
unemployment this winter than
all other relief measures COM
bined.
M. j. McDonough, president Of
the Building Trades department
of the federation, made the sug-
gestion after representatives Of
capital and industry endorsed
unemployment insurance, con-
demned the dole and suggested
that each locality look after its
own" unemployed next winter.
Would Furnish Jobs
McDOnOugh declared that all
measures suggested thus far would
put few men to work, but that
the legalization of beer would
furnish jobs to from 100000 to
1,25O, 900 men and women within
five months.
McDonough pointed out that
the legalization Of beer would put
thousands of breweries into oper.
alton at once. He said:
"ReIief of unemployment A

Here Is the brewing industry

vived, in four or five months

He urged the assembly to give
