Cite Three Reasons
 For One; To Correct
 Present Liquor Law
Session Needed Also to Care for Unemployment, Peti- X ton States-Liquor Should Be Taxed al. Source; i Membership of Group in City Said to Be Small

to-day, asks that the session be called to consider unemployment, correct the present liquor tax sys- tenn, and pass regulations taxing liquor at the source.
 X Announcement of the request for a special session was made by Ed- ward J. Ryan of Thomaston, also known as E. Jackson Ryan, secre- tary of the association who was attacked last week as an 'ex- ploiter" by Lewis s. Lauria of this city, executive secretary of the Fifth District Retail Liquor Deal- ers' association. In his reply to Lauria, Ryan proclaimed that his salary was $75 a week and expens- es, and that his organization had a bank balance of close to $3,0O0!
 The petition reads:
 we the members of the Con. necticut Tavern Owners Associa- tion, Inc, representing 92 per cent of all the tavern owners in the state do hereby petition you to call a special session of the gen. eral assebly.
 "First to give relief to the un-
 employed.
 "Second to correct the present liquor tax system.
 Third to enact legislation which will compel all liquor tax to be paid at the source.
 We believe the present system of taxing liquors inadequate. We know the state of Connecticut Is losing thousands of dollars in much needed revenue, because of the present method of attempting to collect taxs.
 We are agreed that all liquors should be taxed at the source. To tax liquors at the source will mean a more accurate and much more efficient form of tax collection by the state.
 We join with municipalities in urging you to call a special ses- sion of the legislature in order thath aid might be given the un- employed and to have enacted legislation which will correct the liquor tax situation in our state."
