Washington, August 6.--limination by the government of the -wholesale r liqutor dealer as a means of simplify- I Ing prohibition enforcement appeared v a posstbility tonight with the an- I nouncenent by Plbhibition Commis stoner Kramer that the issue of ) wholesale permits in the future would be "rigidly restricted." Mr. Kraner declared that the whole sale tratlle presented the greatest 'problem with which enforcement of flcials were confronted. Wholesale dealers, lie asserted, resorted to sub terfuges which perplexed government agents and which made the dry law difficult to enforce. This pihase of pro bilition enforcement .was said to 'have developed consideration by ofilcials of the internal revenue bureau of a iplan by which the quantity dealers would -be driven out of business entirely and the liquor transfer made direct from lbonded warehouses to retailer or con sumer. Although no decision has been reached and none probably will be Im when wholesale licenses are reissued for the next calendar year is expect ed to bring the question to a head. Ap plications for wholesale licenses must be in the hands of federal officials by October 1, giving the government the three months prior to January 1, in which to investigate the responsibil ity of the applicant. Oflcials sail that regardless of the bureaus dedision with respect to eliminattion -of the wholesalers, the number of licenses issued for the ensuing year would be smaller. In event the government permits the (wholesalers to continue in business, it was said, a policy of investigating the record of applicant "and all of his affairs," would be eiml ployed. Treasury records reveal that more wholesale licenses arc. in existence now than immediately Prior to the effecti:ve date of the Volstead act. Commissioner Kramer said that while the wholesalers were being watched closely drastic action had heen iumade necessary in certain localities. No licenses have been issued in Chicago for wholesale traffic in tih last six weeks, Mr. Kramer said. 0th er of!elals reported that sinlnar cheeks had been placed on the num her of wholesale dealers elsw1ere, Mr. Kramer's visit of the New Yorl district early this week was said tc bave resulted in a tightening of re strictions there. The situation in Halt imore result ing from the ruling of Attorney en oral Armstrong that no Mlarylan& state or Haltimore munii pal olicia could aid in (r.y law enforcenmen work has compelled the transfer W, additional federal agents to the Mary land district.

W. W. New York, Aug. 5.-An announce lent' that the committee of 48 was reparing to withdraiw formally from .11 connection with the Farmer-Labor >arty of which Parley P. Christensen t 3 the presidential nominee, today fol owed closely charges by A. H. Alc jollem and Charles A. Weaver, who, n resigning as officials and members )f the Farmer-Labor organization de 3lared the party was controlled by the1 Industrial Workers of the World. Reorganization of the Committee :f 48 along the original lines of the party will be undertaken at a mect. Ing of the executive committee next Mlonday according to Allen MleCurdy, secretary of the 48'ers. In a statement issued today he said the Farmer-La bor party is a "radical" organization and does not adhere to the princi ples upon which the Committee of 418 attempted to build a national iparty Replying to the charge of AlcCol lem and Weaver, Mr. Christensen de clared the Farmer-Labor party is not under I. 'W. W. control, but is composed of "every day Americans, seekinkg relief Irom Ithe intolerablo economic autocracy obtaining in this country." In a formal statement Mr. Christen sen challenged the political integrity of MeCollem and Weaver. ir. 'McCurdy delivered the keynote address at the Chicago convention last month when the Committee of 48 attempted through amalgamation with the Labor and Single Tax par ties and adherents of other political creeds, to form a party which should "oppose 1with equal firmness both re action and revolution." "The labor party of the United States , \rI. MeC urdy said, ("started out to create a class iparty which should appeal only to organized work ers to the end that control of the American Federaltion of Labor should pass from its present leadership into that of the insurgents and to intro. duce guild Socialism into American life. "It is plain to any Intelligent per son that it is impossible for these two to nieet, joli, merge or amalgamnate. Oil and water do not mix." .\r. Ce.\lurdy asserted that whil the Committee of -18 had been nomli nally represented at the convention which nominated .\Mr. Christ nsein. most of the leaders and delegates had gone to their homes when they "saw that the principles of the Forty Eight ers had been swallowed completely by the radicalism of the Laborites.
