PROHIBITION Bull
FACES DARK FATE

WASHINGTON, April %. -(R-
Backers of wartime prohibition leg.
islation clamored for prompt con.
gressional action today on a bill
to put the nation on a non-alco-
holic diet for the duration, but
indications are that the bill is des-
tined to gather dust in a house
judiciary committee pigeonhole.
Representative Rryson (D-SC)
author Of the bill, said he was IRA
rim to co. but he had been unable
to arrange an audience before the
house judiciary committee for a
group of his witnesses.
Those seeking to be heard, the
Carolinian said, include leaders Of
temperance and prohibition organi-
cations and industrialists anxious to
tell how weekend drinking is af-
fecting the efficiency of war work
ers and promoting absenteeism.
In the absence of representative
Hobbs DALAI, head of the judici-
airy subcommittee that held one
public hearing on the Bryson bill
several months ago, committee
members we're unable to say when,
the hearings would be resumed.
Some of them predicted there
would be no more hearings and
said privately they were ready to
vote on the basis of army, navy and
war manpower commission reports
the bill.
1.-The bill is dead" said one COM
mittee member. II doubt if there
will be any more hearings at all.
It probably will be allowed to stay
just where it is-in committee.

WARD UNITS FACE
FEDERAL SEIZURE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. -(P)-
The War Labor Board made ready
tonight to invoke the weapons OF
seizure or economic sanctions as
MONTGOMERY Ward continued to
defy WLB directlves.
"If we don't hear anything from
Wards by tomorrow morning we We
will take the next step right away
said Chairman William H. Davis.
The board had set tonight as
the time limit for compliance at
Ward plants in seven cities. Davis
offered as the only alternative 1.-The
usual course" of action in noncom !,
pliance cases. The usual course
would be reference to Economic
Stabilizer Fred M Vinson, neces-
sary preliminary to seizure or eco
nomic pressure.
The big mail order house had
given no indication that it intend
ed to meet the boards demands
on minimum wages and malnten-
.nce of union membership.
Government enforcement actloh
could take the form of seizure by
a Government agency - possibly
the Commerce Department which
took over Wards Chicago plant
briefly last spring in another scu1-
file with the board. In that case
the Government would run the
n,ants in accordance with the terms
and conditions Of employment pre-

The union called a strike for last
