NO. 28 HOUSE TO TAKE UP ENFORCEMENT OF LAW Adopts Rule for Immediate Considera tion 235 to 59 n WETS WILL RETARD BILL Indications Are Vote on Measure It self Will Not Be Reached - This Week. Washington, July 8.-The House, by I adopting-235 to 59-today a special rule for immediate consideration of prohibition enforcement legislation, A indicated sufficient votes to enact the measure without the twelve hours of general debate allotted members anx ious :o speak for and against its passage; But despite this big majority and 1 the promise by Chairman Wolstead of the judiciary committee, that all of the time set aside might not be used, in- i dicati6n tonight were that a vote on b the bill itself would not be reached this week. Every effort was made to- .g day by anti-prohibitionists to delay J consideration by claims of no quorum, c demands for roll-calls and by forcing the reading, word by word, of the printed bill. Accepted in Good Grace. All these attempts were accepted I with good grace by the majority un til Representative Sabbath, of Illnois, o and Representative Caldwell, of New e York, both Democrats, brought a pro- r test from members, who declared they t were endeavoring by dilatory tactics r to slow up the proceedings. Less than a two of the twelve hours for debate t had been used when the House ad journed, to resume consideration a Thursday, tomorrow being Calendar r day. - No attempt was made to split the i bill so as to take out the first part re- t lating solely to enforcement of war- ( time prohibition, with a view to its a early passage. This, however, will be t done later, and while members fight ing for modification or repeal of the war-time act are hopelessly in the mi nor ity, they announced their determi nation to keep on fighting until the e whole question of enforcement legis- dI lation was settled in the House. Volstead's Speech. *The principal speech in support of " the judiciary committee's report was made by Chairren Volstead, who de clared that he did not belong to the y Anti-Saloon League and had never s made a prohibition address. In a gen eral way his' address followed the ten or o fthe majority report, prepared by him. Present day conditions showed t the need of enacting_dditional legis- t lation, the chairhian declared, because t - of the attempt to set the war-time s act at naught by dealers selling 2% per cent beer. For an hour or more ' the chairman stood as a smiling tar- S get, while anti-prohibition members ,j interrnupted time without number. n Frequently the House wa:\ in an up roar. Mr. Volstead told the House that, h in his opinion, one Congress could de fine intoxicating liquor as a beverage containing one-half of 1 per cent abo hol, wvhile anoth:>r Congresi; migtht put a dlifferent constructio' upon it. r In closing he told of the benefit, as e he saw it, that wvould come to the couni try with the elimination of liquor.
