DYER STRIKE ENDS

PATERSON. N j., December CP.-
Local 1,733 of the Federation of Silk
and Rayon Dyers and Finishers of
America agreed today to the proposed
peace terms to end the strike of 90
900 dye shop workers, but the signing
of contracts was deferred until five
other locals of the union vote on the
settlement terms
The workers demanded a closed
shop and 30-hour week at 81 an
hour. Under their old contract they
worked 40 hours a week at 57l2 cents
an hour for men and 40 cents for
women. The new contracts, for two
years, provide for 36-hour week and
66 cents an hour for men and 48
cents for women.
The demand for a closed shop, the
principal stumbling block through five
weeks of negotiations, was compro-
missed Under the contract employers
hire only union workers to fill vacan-
cies left by union workers.

.DRYS BAND TO FIGHT
CHANGE IN ALABAMA
Legislatures Action in Doubt,
Due to Recent Shifts in
Sentiment.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, December /.
United dry forces of Alabama today
had sounded the tocsin for rally
here to organize for a militant cam
paign against wet determination to
modify the States 20-year -old prohi-
bition laws.
The Alabama Temperance Alliance,
in annual session here Wednesday,
proposes to make plans to hold the
line" against any attempt to modify
the dry laws in the Legislature, which
meets in January.
Meanwhile, Gov. B. M. Miller de-
manded that the State laws. openly
and widely violated since the repeal
of national prohibition, be strictly
enforced.
One of the active leaders in the
formulation of a campaign to keep
the dry laws is J. Bibbs Mills. super
intendent of the Alabama Anti-Sa-
loon League, who, during the Summer.
demanded that the 3,000-odd beer
dealers who had obtained Federal
permits be forced to pay the $1,000
excise tax.
This tax recently was imposed, and
18 dealers in Montgomery paid it.
This action brought from Gov. Miller
a demand for law enforcement and
impeachment proceedings against
Sheriff Sam Stearns of Montgomery,
who resigned Monday.
Prohibition repeal was a sharp issue
IN the Democratic primaries in May
and June, but just how the Legisla-
ture will line UP in January still is
an open question, due in some part
to shift of sentiment in recent weeks.

up his things and dropped from sight.
