By International News Service

BY International News Service
In a fourth drastic relaxation
Of restrictions against the legiti.
mate use of alcoholics, the De.
partment of Justice and the
Treasury today lifted restrictions
on distribution of sacramental
wine.
Regulation Of sacramental wine
has been one of the most con-
troversial phases of prohibition
enforcement and has caused fire.
quent clashes between churches
using that type of wine and the
Federal authorities.
Amount Doubled
Control was particularly re-
laxed over the use of sacramental
wine in the homes. The quantity
Of wine that each adult and each
family may obtain in any one
year was doubled.
Direct purchases were author
lied from winners. Federal in
vestigation and reports on wine
distribution were abolished. The
effective period of permits to
distribute were tripled.
First the prohibition bureau
dropped the Federal campaign
against speakeasies and left detec-
ton of these liquor dispensing
agencies to the States and cities.
Then the Coast Guard dras-
tically reduced it's forces. In the
third place Congress so liberalized
the restrictions on medicinal
liquor that physicians may pre-
scribe virtually any reasonable
amount for the use of their
patients.
Each adult may now draw two
instead of one gallon of sacra-
mental wine for a years use,
while the family limitation was
raised from to 10 gallons.
Direct Purchases
Formerly church officials we're
charged with the responsibility
of dispensing sacramental wine
for home use. This restriction
was dropped and members of the
congregation may make their pur-
chases directly from the distribu-
tor or winery. A long fight has
been made for this concession.
Permits are issued for 80 days
instead of 80. Church officials
are not required to get receipts
for liquors they issue to congrega-
tions, although they must keep a
record stewing the name and
address of the person receiving
the liquor.

JOHNSON SEES
CODE DOOM To
SWEATSHOPS
35-Hour Week, With Collective
Bargain, Due in Women's
Apparel Manufacture

End Of the Sweatshop in the
garment trades was seen today by
aides of Brig. Gen. Hugh S. John
son, administrator of industrial
recovery, through the code near
ing completion by his representa-
tives and those of women'S ap-
parel manufacturers.
This code soon will be ready
for public hearing. 1t provides a
35-hour week, as compared with
the 40-hour week of the textile
industry code shortly to be pro-
mulgated from the White House.
It is regarded as more nearly
in line with the general require
ments of industrial codes than
that of the textile group, which
had to meet special conditions.
Collective Bargaining
The women's apparel code will
provide for collective bargaining.
This right, together with the
shorter hours, better pay, and
other improved conditions report
ed to be incorporated in it, is
expected by Johnson's advisers to
eliminate Sweatshop conditions,
and obviate strikes which have
marked the industry.
Although workers are not pri-
marily a party to any code, John
son stipulated that the right OF
collective bargaining be funda-
mental in all such instruments.
He also emphasized that once
an industry has agreed to i'm
proved working conditions, and if
it breaks its own code he may
withdraw it's agreement with the
Government.
Coal Code Near
Sweatshop practices are blamed
for low wages and generally poor
economic conditions in the gar,
ment trades.
The coal industry is rapidly ap-
preaching completion of some ten
tative code on which to seek agree,
ment. Northern coal operators
began meetings today, while CEN
tral coal associates are seeking
to unite the major fields behind a
code their group have adopted.
This code tentatively provides
80 to SO hour week, an eight-hour
day, higher minimum wages and
bans employment of workers un
der 16.

Small Hope Held for Drafting

By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, October "a reshift-
ing of Tammany's battle lines, with
some one to substitute for Mayor John
P. OBrien at the head of the ticket,
was speculated upon widely today as
the first heated phase of New York's
mayoralty race came to a close
With the tickets Of the three major
Parties completed and the excitement
Of announcements subsided, every one
concerned turned to fetting out heavy
registration this week. Tammany set
itself to open its campaign formally
tomorrow.
The speculation upon the possibility

suited from forecasts that the Tam

third in a three -cornered election race.
Smiths Name Mentioned.
The name of Alfred E. Smith was
borne up again on the tide of rumor

most quarters this was minimiZed, al

Tammany's allies are said to be
strongly inclined toward a reshifting OF
the ticket. particularly since Maj. Flo

view that the battle is to be strictly
between themselves.

fact remains that not in 40 years, since

real estate assets with which the port
folios of many closed banks are clogged
and replace them with liquid assets.
