ST. LOUIS, August ia mounting
wave of wet votes from rural sections

81 States clustered under the banner
of prohibition repeal.
AS unofficial and incomplete returns
flowed in from nearly half of the pre-
cincts in the State, the preponderance
of wet votes indicated the "show-me"
State had cast a vote of more than
3 to l for repeal of the eighteenth
amendment.
Unofficial incomplete reports from
3,204 out of 4,1o8 precincts gave: For
repeal 468,786; against 122.872. st.
Louis city complete gave: For repeal
172,565; against 8,201. Four hundred
and seventy-four out of 544 precincts
in Jackson County (Kansas City gave:
For repeal 123,4l8; against 1875.
21 Counties Vote Dry.
The sweeping strength of the repeal
vote was evident when incomplete re-
turns indicated only 81 of the lis
counties in the State had given dry ma
jorities. These were rural counties,
always considered extremely arid in any
test of wet and dry strength. Many
other counties hitherto classed as
rigidly dry, swung into the wet column
tonight.
Returns indicated almost a negligible
dry vote in St. Louis and Kansas City,
the centers of wet sentiment. In st.
Louis, center of anti-prohibition senti-
ment when the dry movement was at its
crest, incomplete returns from more
than half of the precincts showed 20
to-1 ratio for repeal. Nearly complete
tabulation of the Kansas City and Jack
son County votes showed 10-to-1
ratio
Returns from 665 out of the 839 pre-
cincts in st. Louis City and County
showed: For repeal, 159867; against

includes Kansas City, the vote in 494 out
of 544 precincts was: For repeal, 123,-

Control Of the Washington milk In
dustry by the Public Utilities Commis-
sion has been suggested to the Senate
Milk Investigating Committee, Chair
man King revealed yesterday. as plans
were completed for resumption OF the
hearings tomorrow at 10 am.
BY classifying the milk business as
public utility and placing it under the
regulation of the commission, the COM
mittee has been told, the public would
have a potent weapon to regulate the
price of milk and check the enormous
profits which the investigation has
shown, have fallen into the laps OF
some distributors.
Senator King, however, indicated he
was not so enthusiastic about the plan
at present "I would be rather reluc-
tant." he said, ito put anything under
the Public Utilities Commission, except
such natural monopolies as the trans
portation, gas and electric utilities. The
committee is going to get the facts
about the milk situation and then de-
termine what to do"
New Disclosures Planned.
Elwood H. Seal, assistant corporation
counsel of the District, who has served
as special counsel to the Senate InveS-
tigation Committee, expects to bring out
few more sensational links in the
chain of disclosures in connection with
the milk industry when the hearings
are resumed. He has just about finished
with the so-called milk trust" and
now plans to turn the spotlight on ac-
tivities of the independent dairies-the
amount of milk they handle, the SAL
aries Of their officers and the amount
of their profits.
Mr.. Seal intends to call the following
as witnesses at the hearing tomorrow:
James L. Ward, representing the Walker
Hill Dairy; Lee Thompson. represent
ing the Thompson Dairy; DR.. William
C. Fowler, District Health Officer; Rob-
ert L. Dickinson, representing the Fair
fax Farms Dairy: Charles A. Bowman,
who engineered the sale Of the Fair
fleld-Western Maryland Dairy in Bal
timore, and he plans to recall A. A.
Stickler, treasurer of the National
Diaries.
Seal said he particularly wanted to
develop the following two angles before
the hearings are concluded:
l. Why the Independents charge the
same price 1or milk as a1nllateS OF the
so-called milk trust"
2. The proportion of the milk which
is sold in Washington by the tnde-
pendents and the trust" companies.
Hearings Near An End.
Most of the pertinent facts about
Washingtons milk situation already
have been brought to light, Seal be-
lieves, and as soon as the committee
finishes with the Independents the
hearings will be concluded. He thinks
the remainder of the investigation
should not take longer than three or
four days.
The disclosures thus far, according to
Seal have definitely established that

Only Two Big Codes Out.
AS the week of spectacular develop

OF the important industries with codes
now penang still were outside the door
OF the N. r. A. And there was every
indication that the steady pressure OF
the Government would be turned. start
ing today, upon the controversy bound
bituminous coal operators.
Members of this group with their %
codes to be boiled down into l are on
notice from Gen. johnson that they
must agree, and unless committee meet
lngs scheduled over the week end
produce positive results, informed quar-
tiers had little doubt that the admins
traitor was ready to write q code for
that industry as he did for oil.
The automobile industry-stin won
der1ng about the attitude of Henry
Ford, or what his plans were-had its
day In court at a public hearing Fri
day. Expert economists are taking the
testimony apart word by word. and the
code IS to be pushed through the mill
with all possible speed.
Pace Never SIackens.
The pell-mell pace that the Recovery
Administration had set through the
week continued right up to the time
OF President Roosevelt's departure late
last night for Hyde Park, N. Y.
Through the day johnson darted from
one conference to another. With the
steel code agreed to in the early hours
OF the morning, after long night ses-
sion, the administrator concentrated
upon oil. From one confidential session
to another he moved. seeking an agree
ment among the operators, anxious not
to force upon them a code they did
not want. but determined that one
should be completed before the Chief
Executive departed
In the end, he was almost successful.
Only small percentage Of the oper-
ators were unyielding. Advocates Of
more stringent price-hxing agreed fin
ally to move with the Roosevelt-Joh
son program, even Though they felt it
did not go far enough their way.
Less than an hog- before Mr. Roose-
velt's train was to depart, the stocky
administrator tore down the corridors
Of the Commerce Department and to
the White House, the oil and steel
codes in his hand. He was breathless
as he entered the executive Offices, but
he was merry as he emerged and re-
turned to his office.
Turns to Coal Code.
Although the gruelling run Of IS
and 20 hour days during the past week
obviously had taken their toll of his
vitality, he turned Immediately to con-
1erences with assistants who had been
working upon the coal situation.
Explaining the steel code to news
paper men, johnson said "it contains
something which is the most Significant
thing we have done down here" adding:
We have got the industry to 20 on
an 8-hour day and we think from our
statistics that will be a 35-hour week.
1t Will be straight and permanent"
One OF the final changes provided for
a committee of three, including john
son, to confer on administration of the
code With the Iron and Steel Institute
A 90-day test period also was pro-
Vlded to give President Roosevelt a
chance to pass upon any recommended
tlons received. Unchanged was the

Equalization Opposed.
The situation was discussed on the
basis of an equalization OF working
time at all the mines of the company,
but Navigation company officials as
serted this was impossible because mar
ket conditions would not permit such
terms.
Union officials presented q plan by
which certain collieries would work on
the basis of equalization, but company
officials asserted this offer could re-
ceive no consideration because dealers
demanded certain quality Of coal, which
necessitated the operation Of certain
