¥ . News of the World, By ‘ssocxated Press. ILNY 26, 01819 ——I‘\‘,\/‘TLV DUTCE RESPONSEBLE FOR FLEGHT 'SOLDIERS KILLED BY REDS; SALOOR E: U. S. ORRIE LIQUOR INTERESTS AWAITING NEWS ON REPEALING OF BAN! Hold Meeting to Discuss Closing But Definite Action Is With- held in Hopes of Further Legislation LOCAL DEALERS DO NOT WANT TO GL{)SE DOORS | But Statement of Association Seccre- tary That Liquor Men Arc Law Abiding Citizens May Mean That Dry Law Will Be Observed if the Ban Is Not Lifted. President A. E. Monsees of the Retail Liquor Dealers’ associa- tion, stated today that while the matter of continuing the sale of liquor, wines and ale after July 1 had been discussed at a meeting of the association held \L‘\l(‘l(l(\\’ afternoon, no action had been taken. This statement from the president of the association is a denial of the widely spread rumor on the streets today to the effect that local saloonkeepers would positively keep their doors open in spite of legislation now in the works. Another Meeting Planned This action of the liquor in- terests is, however, not final, and the president of the association further stated that another meet- ing would be called in the course of a few days in the event of no legislation coming from the gov- nent which would allow the sale. The association is awaiting developments both on the part of the government and president and on the part of the State Liquor Dealers’ association, and movements by either of these bodies will direct the course of the local dealers. Would Probably Close. Asked what the feeling of local interests is regarding the closing, and if saloonkeepers were dis- posed to shut their doors if the ban is not lifted, Mr. Monsees replied that “he would not say that they were.” Secretary Louis Fodt attended the meeting but knew of no action taken. When questioned regarding the feeling and prob- able action of the saloonkeepers if no repeal was granted, h answer was, “the saloonkeepers are law-abiding citizens.” Collecting Contributions President Monsees and Secretary Fodt made a canvass of the saloon- keepers of the city this morning and explanied a matter relative to the question of closing for which each saloonkeeper was asked to donate $i The officers of the association refused to explain the purpose of the canvass and the saloonkeepers were also warned to maintain strict secrecy re- garding the move.
