WASHINGTON, July 5.—The Pro hibitionists, led by the Anti-Saloon League, will begin in eatnest next week to press for action on the pend- ing enforcement ieginiation. Dr. E. GC, Dinwiddie, “legisiative superintendent,” who has charge of the lobby for this organization, ex- Pects the Volstead bill to be taken Up Thuraday. He sald to-day he is sure of more than two-thirds of the votes in the House and Senate. . Senator King of Utah, who is an anti-Prohibitionist, said to-day it would be impossible to round up more than eleven votes for a bill to repeal wartime Prohibition in the Senate. He doubted if more than six Senators would vote for it if a showdown on that proposition came. Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel for the Anti-Saloon League, thinks that President Wilson will sign the enforcement bill, He takes no stock in the talk that he will veto it, “The suggestion that the President will veto the National Prohibition Act if it includes beer and wine is brew- ery propagahda,” said Mr. Wheeler. “Thirty-three Prohibition States have prohibited beer and wine along with whiskey. The local option laws in fourteen States define intoxicating Nquor substantially as proposed by the bill pending in Congress. “This ls No time for reaction or sur- render to the brexers, who are ef- couraging defiance of the law at this hour. The President cannot afford to act as a life saver for the liquor * trafMflc under these conditions.” “Mr. Gompers is wrong when he asserts that Prohibition is.in any way responsible for Bolshevism or anar- chy,” sald Dr. Dinwiddie. “The crowd or the Interest that Mr. Gom- pers would speak for now in the liquor traffic has been jawless for years. We are going to aliminate that element. He will find that con- ditions will improve rather than W worse, “We have thousands of laborers in our organization. Mr. Gompers is not labor's leader in his fight for the liquor traffic. He has never been able to lead workmen in that campaign. Of course he has followérs in his ef- forts tn beers} direction, but they com- pose @ small percentage of real labo Popwation of the United States “The delegates trom dry States to the Atlantic City Convention of the American Federation of Labor op- posed Mr. Gompers’s views on Pro- hibition. The demonstration of labor leaders here June 14, against Pro- hibition, was a fiasco. The adver- tised crowd of 260,000 dwindled to ap- proximately 17,000." The wets are planning to make a hard fight in the House next week to lberalize the Volstead bill and be- leve they have good chances of syc- cess because of the moderate position taken by some of the drys in the committee, oe tek @ wets hope to have their completed for submission to the Boves oh, Monday.
