held between now and Nov 7. If all
vote wet. thirty-seven states will have
approved the twenty-first CrepeaD
amendment. one more than neces-
sary TO add it TO the Constitu-
ton.
There will be no wine for Thanks
giving. however. Ohio holds its re-
peal convention Dec. 4. Pennsyl-
vania Dec. 5. and the North and
South Carolina conventions are not
until Dec. 6.
Texans also voted on legalization
of 30 beer Political observers an
ticipated a heavy vote
Vets and drys ended the cam
paign Friday night with a series of
rallies. radio broadcastS, and street
corner meetings. Senator Morris
Sheppard. author of the eighteenth
amendment and dry leader. closed
his 5.000-mile auto tour campaign
in Dallas. speaking before an audi
ence of upward of $500 persons.
Sheppard had spoken forty-eight
times in the last twenty-five days,
often driving 300 miles between
speaking engagements.
He said Texas would be the first
state to defeat repeal and that thir-
teen other states would vote against
it.

by many drys who were reluctant
to forecast today's vote. The drys
have concentrated their campaign
on local option elections.

Independents Fighting to
Escape What They
Term Monopoly.
Bp Scrpps-Howard Ncrrspopcr Alliance

BV Scripps- HowGrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-The
code of fair competition filed for
the aluminium industry by the As
ISOLATION of Manufacturers in the
aluminium industry does not satisfy
aluminium Independents and they
will fight for adoption OF a substi-
tute of their own.
The Melons Aluminium Company
of America dominates the associa-
ton, the Independents charge. and
they charge also that the associa-
ton code provisions will foster a
monopoly for that company.
The association code covers min
ing of bauxite and manufacture of
aluminium ore concentrates, as well
as fabricating processes. The in
dependents want the code TO cover
fabrication only as this is the only
field in which they compete with
the Aluminium Company of America.
To safeguard against monopoly
they propose that the code prohibit
sales of any product fabricated from
aluminium Tor less than the market
value of the aluminium used. plus
the cost Of fabrication. The
Aluminium Company of America
sells the independents all the
aluminium they use in their fabrica-
ting. and they want this sale price
used as the basis Of all selling prices
to consumers in order that they
may compete on an even basis
A bitter fight at preliminary NRA
discussions and also at the alumni
mum code hearing is probable.
The association code provides for
a forty-hour week and minimum
wages ranging from 22i2 cents. The
independents propose a thirty-five-
hour week and a 5O-cent minimum
