Senate Beer Bill Condemned
And Approved in Reports

Washington-Wide divergence of
views on the beer question was shown
in the majority and minority reports
of the senate manufactures commit
tee on the proposal to legalize the
manufacture and sale of a per cent
beer.
A committee majority of seven, in
a report prepared by Senator Hat
field, of West Virginia, asserted it
would "add to enforcement Difficult
ties" and retard rather than aid eco-
nomic recovery.
A minority of four, in statement
prepared by Senator Metcalf, OF
Rhode Island, declared that beer
would promote temperance and pro-
vide both revenue and employment.
1t denounced prohibition, which was
described as driving the people to
hard liquors with resultant increase
in drunkenness, deaths from alcohol
ism and general lawlessness.
The minority group estimated that
immediate employment would be
given to a minimum of 100000 per-
sons, and possibly more than 1,000,-
900 within a brief period following
the proposed legalization Of beer and
asserted that the government would
derive an annual revenue of around
$1,10O,00O,000 from beer taxes.

TOO MANY
Nova Scotia Miners, Probe
Board Reports

Ottawa (ILNS)-There are $500
superfuous coal miners in the total
of 10000 intermittently employed in
Nova Scotia, according to the royal
commission, which has been investi-
eating the problems of the coal indus
try in eastern Canada.
There are also in the coal mining
communities very considerable num-
ber of young persons up to q years
of age-the number may be as high as
2,000-who have never had employ
ment at all and for whom no pros
pect of obtaining employment in the
mines lies ahead, the commission
says in its report.
On the wage question the commits
sion recommends a reduction of 10
per cent for all datal workers with
the proviso that no datal work shall
be reduced below 1926 per day. A
reduction of 121a per cent in all con-
tract rates is also recommended.
/ As a method of getting rid of the
surplus miners the commission ad-
vises that they be given government
assistance to settle on farms. How
this will solve unemployment is not
clear, as there seems to be a super
fluffy of farmers as we'll as miners
and other workers.
The census returns show that there
were 10000 fewer farms in eastern
Canada in 1881 than in 1921. There
are many vacant farms on which men
could not earn a decent livelihood
even during the period of progress
and prosperity.

New Promotion Rule Will

Washington.-Th U. S. civil serv-

filling vacancies in higher positions.
The ruling was recommended by the

recently created by President Hoover.
One of the functions of the council
is to fill the higher positions by trans
fer rather than by original appoint
ment. 1t is claimed this new policy
extends career possibilities in the
federal service.

Washington, ID. c. (1LNS)-A Sec

buke from the secretary, who said
that he felt the operators should have

No Limit on Discussion

fields, and was only actuated by a
desire to be helpful in an endeavor to

Mrs. Charles S. Sabin, president of

states:
'The Women's Organization

mated annual revenue of many

The membership of those organiza-
tions seeking rollcall vote on this
question, as we'll as their friends, are
justified in feeling that the hesitancy
of members of the house to sign the

measure, are favorable to the con-
tinuance of conditions which are
strongly advocated by the bootleg
gers, the gangsters and their ilk
At the time of the issuance of this
letter there were 1872 members of the
house who had already affixed their
signature to the petition. Of this
number 70 were democrats and 60

The national campaign was mo-
bilizing effort and it was felt that
everything possible had been done in
that direction Cooperation will con-
tinue in local campaigns and the
national organizations will maintain
close and cooperative relations. 1t is
entirely possible that within a week

activities during the coming month
should carry the job drive well over
the million mark set as its goal.
Work to Go On
''The national organizations which
Joined in sponsorship Of this move
