D?ys Are Aroused by ’
Several Wet Victories
Washington.—Alarmed by reverses
sustained by the prohibition cause in
recent unfavorable action by federal
counts and state legislatures, dry forces
will, rally in Coogress to check what
novy ■ appears to them to be Pa move
ment towards less rigid prohibition, ”
It i? stated here.
A compromise program of legisia*
Hop, aimed at plugging the breaches
made in the Volstead law by wet. on
slaughts, will be presented ace at the
same time larger appropriations for en
forcement will be sought.
Among the blows dealt prohibition
enforcement in recent weeks are:
The supreme court decision revere-,
i ng the Daugherty ruling which would
have banned liquor on American ves
sels anywhere in tho world. •
The repeal of the Mullen-Cage law
by the New York legislature, depriv
ing^ the federal government of state aid
In prohibition enforcement in one pf
jber wettest stales in the TTmoa.
The Knox injunction, holding udcod
stitfUtional provisions of the Volstead
law, arbitrarily limiting the number of
liq<i#or prescriptions physicians may
dispense.
Refusal of the Pennsylvania legisla
ture to appropriate $200,000 asked by
Governor Pinchot to enforce prphibi
liott in that state under the newly
adopted enforcement code.
The supreme court decision and the
Knox injunction strike directly at pro^
hibjtion enforcement and open the way
to .further breaches in this dry bul-,
wask, officials say. Though the ,su
trejtBe court has passed ou its constitu-.
Monality as a whole, the success of the
wets in shooting holes in part3 of it
nead them to believe that further as
saults on :t will be made this year. ,
