N Tj n Staff Corrfpondrnt
llarrkburg. May 1!). "Dry" lend
ers in the- Legislature, may balk at the
plan to kill nil liquor legislation pend
liug in the Assembly.
, Legislative leaders renched an agree
ment lo shelve the liquor legislation,
both "wet" nnd "dry." following the
announcement last week that both C!ov
ernor Sproul and Attorney (ieneral
Schaffer considered it futile to enact
such legislation before Congress bad
acted.
When the legislature adjourned last
week the battle lines were all set for
a fracas tonight on -the "wet" nnd
"dry" bills.
" The two "dry" enforcement bills and
the Hamsey measure to permit the sale
of 2ai per cent beer were made, special
orders for tonight. In anticipation of
the impending battle the anti-liquor
leaders wired all their members to lie
in their sents when the House cou-
vened tonight.
Sonic oj the "dry" leaders are loath
change the program, and want to go
through with it, Should tley succeed
fiu passing enforcement bills the plan of
"killing" the measures would be shifted
to the Senate."
The "drys" control a majority of
Hie House,' but it is doubtful it they
could poll sufficient strength to give
tlicm the Hit votes necessary to pass
enforcement measures finally.
When the "drys" dttfted the Fox
enforcement bill they purposely elim
inated any reference to alcoholic con
sents. This was done so that the bill
wquld not contlict with any act passed
by' Congress defining what percentage of
airohol constitutes an intoxicants ,
The Vickerman enforcement net, a
companion bill "to the Fox nlcasurc,
provides only the machinery for carry
ing into, effect the provisions in the Fox
measure.
