u. 5. REFUSES
TO HELP HALT
BOOTLEGG|NG
BY ERIC FREEDMEN
Copyright. 1887. by International
News Service)

The Federal Government for
the present will refuse all re-
quests from States for help in
enforcing local liquor laws, it was
revealed today in an opinion by
Herman Oliphant, general counsel
Of the Treasury Department.
The opinion held that no dry
State has yet adopted legislation
emitting it to Federal protection
from bootleg liquor shipments.
At the same time, the Federal
Alcohol Administration reported
it needed more stringent regula-
tory powers over liquor whole
salers to halt the flow of spirits
into restricted areas.
Must Be Dry By Law
ELEPHANTS opinion explained
that to obtain Federal liquor en-
forcement aid, a State must have
law specifying it as q dry State
and prohibiting sale Of intoxi-
cantS. or a law banning imports
Of liquor except under license.
This legislation is prescribed in
the 1886 Liquor Enforcement Act.
Currently, the Treasury takes
no action if liquor is sent into
a dry state provided the Federal
tax has been paid. Should a State
pass the necessary law, the Gov
eminent would help in thwarting
shipments of liquor which violate
State regulations.
At present, II States sell liquor
through State stores. Several of
these States have complained to
the FAA that liquor is being ship
ped into their area and sold in
competition with the State dis
pensaries.
Control Only Over Permits
Kansas, Oklahoma, and Missis-
Sippi, which prohibit sale Of all
alcoholic beverages except beer,
also have experienced difficulty in
keeping out hard liquors.
Although the FAA has control
over liquor wholesalers, officials
said their authority does not go
far enough. 1t was explained this
agency can only withdraw a whole
saler'S permit if the latter ships
or transports liquor into q State
in violation of State law.
Amendment of the FAA act per.
hitting the Administration to
penalize wholesalers who know.
ingly makes sales of this type will
be uregd at the next session o.
Congress.

Death of Chicago Rioters
Upheld by Sen. Bailey
Police Are Defended
In Minority Report
on Disorders

Police action in the Memorial
Day riot at the South Chicago
plant Of the Republic Steel Cor
poration, during which 10 persons
were killed, was upheld in q report
submitted to the Senate today by
Senator Bailey CD Of North Caro-
lima.
The defense Of the police was
part Of a minority report Of the
Senate Post Office Committees in
veStigation of interference with
the mails in Ohio during the steel
strike, and the riot. Bailey also
scored the department for permit
ting C. I. o. picketS to interfere
with the mails.
Dealing With Armed Mob
Declaring the Chicago coroner'S
jury. which rendered a verdict OF
"justifiable homicide" to the pc
lice, was consistent" with testi
mony given before the committee
Bailey added:
"The police were dealing with
an armed mob. The police
warned the mob. It would not
yield, but continued In an atti-
tude Of menace. A mob must
disperse upon orders from police
authorities. To refuse to do 50
and to continue in an attitude
Of menace is to invite and be-
come responsible for cOnse-
quences.
"BlOOdShed is deplOrable, but
II the public peace requires 1t,
we must pay the price,"
Bailey, questioning the power
Of Congress to investigate matters
pertaining to the action Of local
police, said:
care police officers under Fed
eral supervision? The power Of
Congress to sit in judgment
upon act of local police is very
slender indeed. As yet this is
not D centralized government
and the principle Of local self.
government is yet . funda-
mental principle"
"HAD NO CHOICE"
Bailey said that according to
the riot testimony before the
com m i tt e e the assembly was
manifeStly unlawful, armed with
deadly weapons, and the police
had no choice: they had to up.
hold the law. to resist the mob,
and dispose Of it," He added:
They are not responsible for
the consequences, to take any
other view is to impose upon the
guardians of the law condemna-
ton for doing their duty"

SUGAR REVOLT
NEW THREAT
IN CONGRESS
By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
International News Service

International News Service
Fresh legislative storm clouds
deluged q battle-weary Congress
today as sugar, anti-lynching and
court reform blocs organized re-
volts to include their favored bills
in the Administrators program
for the closing hours Of the pres
emit session.
President Roosevelt was reported
privately to be insisting only on
enactment Of the Black wage and
hour bill, the new Wagner housing
act and the substitute for his own
Supreme Court bill providing pro-
cedural reforms in the minor Fed
eral judiciary. He was said to be
willing to postpone the rest of his
legislative program until next year.
This irked advocates of sugar
import quotas, friends Of the anti
lynching bill which has been pend
ing in the Senate since April, and
q small group Of "loyaliSts" who
insist upon some reorganization
Of the Supreme Court. All three
blocS were organizing drives to
prevent adjournment until they
get an opportunity to vote on their
desired legislation.
BOrah Gives Warning
The sugar revolt was most
threatening. Senator Borah R0
Of Idaho, issued this blunt warn.
ing:
II favor tying up Congress in
. knot until the Administration
gives US sugar legislation. / will
do anything necessary to hold
Congress here until we get it,"
The sugar bloc was fighting for
a three-year extension of existing
import quotas, which otherwise
expire next December. Admins
tration opposition has blocked en-
actment of the bill.
The anti-lynching bloc, despair.
ing of their ability to secure a
direct vote on the measure which
passed the House three months
ago, planned to attach it as a
rider to some bill on the Admins
tration's must" list. It un-
doubtedly will be offered as a
rider on the Black wage and hour
bill. now under debate in the
Senate.
Senator Copeland CD of New
York, led a movement earlier in
the week to add it to a railroad
labor act. He was defeated then.
He was talked out of offering it
as a rider to the Black bill by his
colleague, Senator Wagner Cd
Of New York, who expressed hope

the Senate might be given a
chance to vote OF the bill directly.
Have One Chance Left
Members of the antilynching
bloc admitted their one hope Of
enacting the bill was to add it to
an administration must bill, "
thereby forcing southern Demo
Gratis to fight the Presidents
wishes in order to block its pas
sage. Under such circumstances,
they felt the Senate would ap-
prove the bill.
The revolt over the court issue
was led by Senator Minton CD
of Indiana, who threatened to of.
fer a constitutional amendment as
rider on the substitute court bill.
It brought indignant protests from
leaders on both sides of the long
court issue battle, who protested
such a move would violate their
peace agreement. There was a
possibility some Administration
Democrat would offer another
amendment, proposing an outright
increase of two justices for the
Supreme Court.
Senator Ashurst CD Of Arizona,
Judiciary Committee chairman,
announced he would fight both
moves, although he originally IA
vored the Presidents bill.
