A situation which 5000 guests in
the affected hotels accepted Saturday
night as fun took on different aspects

ments, trying to keep a semblance of
service, were unable to provide
ordinary comforts
The heat was of. There was no one

The cocktail bars were closed
Outside, pickets paraded and police
stood by.
Unions made exceptions for children

food to be taken to them.
The strike occurred with less than
"a hours public notice. following an

In the agreement which prevented
a strike on April II, the hotel operators
made concessions to union demands
but failed to grant a 40-hour week and

State Department to Ar

By the Associated Press.
State Department officials worked
today on regulations further limiting
possible aid from groups in this coun-
try to the Spanish civil war bellig-
erents.
The regulations, to be announced in
the near future, will deal with solicit
ing funds. They are being prepared
under the new neutrality law, signed
Saturday night by President Roosevelt.
Immediately after the act was
signed, other provisions tightening laws
against trade with Spain were invoked.
These expanded the list Of en-
bargoed implements of war, forbade
Americans to travel on Spanish YES
sells and forbade loans bond sales or
other financial transactions to aid the
belligerent factions.
Law Effective June l.
Although some provisions were in
voked Immediately as to the Spanish
civil war, the new law under procla-
nation of the President, does not be-
come effective until June l.

Diplomatic quarters heard that the
Spanish government had sent its big
gest battleship, the Jaime Primero. to
the Bay of Biscay. apparently in =
move to shell insurgent lines around
the Basque capital.
British and French men-of-war
patroled the bay to protect mer-
chant vessels bringing the first refu-
gees out Of Bilbao.
Diplomats asserted the Jaime Pri-
nero, carrying l2-inch guns, probably
would be able to strike crushing blow
against insurgent vessels operating in
the bay, particularly since the sinking
by government planes of the insur-
gents heaviest warship, the Espana.
In addition, these sources pointed
out, the Jaime Primero would be in
position to turn its big guns on in
surgent land forces at Bermeo and
afford protection for ships evacuating
non-combatants from the besieged
capital.
Guns Aided Madrid Defense.
The recent apparent Inactivity Of
the government fleet was explained
as due to the fact that the Jaime
Primero's big guns had only recently
| been returned from Madrid.
When the siege of Madrid started
last July the heavy guns were dis
mounted and secretly taken from the
cruiser to the capital to shell insurgent
lines. In the meantime operations OF
the ship with smaller calber guns hao
been confined chiefly to the Mediter-
ranean Sea.
While strict secrecy surrounded the
plan, lest Spanish insurgent warships
interfere, diplomatic reports indicated

BREASTWORKS DEFENSE is
RAISED AGAINST WATERS

(By The Associated Press.)
The retreat beyond the grasp of an
Unsuitable enemy quickened today as
the relentless surge of flood water
toward the Mississippi river spurred
a tireless army in it's defense of the
sOtuhlandis cotton belt

of these developments regarded as

for the eventual enactment of State

1. The action by the Alabama Gen
eral Assembly Thursday in enacting
a Statewide liquor stores bill, on a
county option basis, despite the fact
that Governor Bibb Graves, like
Governor Clyde r. Hoey, was in
favor of a Statewide referendum be-
fore doing away with State prohibit
ton.
2. The compromise worked out in
the finance committee on the propos-
ed new Sta. tax on intangibleS, I'm
der which the State will collect the
tax and remit 60 per cent of the
revenue collected back to the counties
retaining only 20 per cent for State
use.
3. The defeat of the reapportion-
ment bill in the House Thursday, in
which many Piedmont and western
members voted with the eastern mem
bers, thus paving the way for some
of the eastern members to vote with
these others on the liquor control bill

ALABAMA VOTE ENHANCES
LIQUOR CONTROL LOCALE

Raleigh, Jan. 30.-Already bright
prospects for enactment of a liquor
control law based primarily on county
option received another boost in &C
ton of the Alabama legislature in
passing such a statute for the Here
We Rest" state.
For some time Alabama, a State
with prohibition law so strict that
it prohibits the sale of any beverage
that even "looks like beer" has been
in the throes of a legislative fight
similar to that now in progress in
North Carolina and the action of its
Jaw makers was taken only after long
and serious study and debate. ~
The fact that after this thorough in
vestigation Alabama legislators have
decided, by very substantial major
ity, that county option is the best
method of handling the liquor ques-
ton will certainly give added impetus
to the campaign here to the same end.
Another feature in which the Ala
bama struggle bears a very close re-
semblance to that in North Carolina
lies in the fact that in both states the
governor is dry and an advocate of a
Statewide referendum before any
county can set up liquor stores; but
the effect of this coincidence may be
entirely different in Alabama from
what it can possibly be here.
In Alabama Governor Bibb Graves
has the veto power and it is generally
predicted that he will veto the bill on
the grounds that it does not provide
for a Statewide vote; and inasmuch
as neither house passed the bill be a
two-thirds majority his veto is likely
to hullify the consicA ration action
of the legislature.
On the other hand North Carolina
has always SHE'D away from giving it's
chief executive a check-rein on the
legislature and no matter how strong
ly Governor Clyde r. Hoey may feel
nc WILL be absolutely impotent to
thwart the will of the legislature.

were available and many Legislators
baked at proceeding to enactment
without having had time to study the
committee substitute which is being
proposed to take the place of the orr
ginal measure.
Cravenis Libby Ward led in a plea
for delay until the substitute can be
printed so that each member might
have copy. Chairman w. E. F'enner
of the committee did not press hard
for immediate action, but did express
the opinion that there was no real
reason for waiting.
1t remained for Representative
Thomas E. Register, of Granville to
put into words the feelings of what
many believe is a majority of the
House. ,
He said, in effect:
Il come from tobacco raising
county and am earnestly interested
but if I had copy Of the bill and
could study it for six weeks I still
wouldn't know any more about it than
do now. I am ready to rely upon
the good judgment of these gentlemen
on the committee and to vote right
away"
And that's how most House mem
bers are-bemused If not completely
Defuddled.
