Washington, Dec. 16.—The house agricultural committee today voted 16 to 3 against the proposal to repeal the war time prohibition act. Washington, Dec. 16.—Treaty rat- ification before January 16, or repeal of the war time prohibition law, are considered the last hopes of the migration committee, which is in- vestigating conditions at Elhs Is- land, when it reconvenes in Washing- ton, Representative Isaac Siegel of New York, a member of the commit- tee, denounced gecretary of Labor W. B. Wilson and his department in an address here on ‘“What Ails America?” He referred to the refusal of Sec- retary Wilson to give the committee the department’s report on the immi- gration service, declaring that ‘‘no man is too big in this country to withhold anything from a congres- sfonal committee.” He asgerted the committee is determined to find out who is responsible for ‘‘the Iax con- ditions at Ellis Island.” “The officials of the department of labor,” he declared, ‘‘are more re- sponsible for the spread of radical- {sm than any other set of men in this country.” “Since the congressional commit- tee got busy investigating the de- partment of labor,” Mr. Siegel said, time act can be legally enforced un- til the president issues a formal pro- clamation of peace.

There is also the kettle on the cor- ner of the First National bank and this is for the same purpose. Captain Orchard is desirous to bring cheer and comfort to the deserving families and children, and it is hoped the lit- tle folks will not miss the visit of Santa and believe he was a myta.
