Montreal. .June 7. Any attempt to

today In his address at the opening of

Remedy for High Cost of Living
As n program of specific remedy"
for the high cost ot living, the council's
repnit proposes the following:
"We demand that the government be
authorized to buy standard commodi
ties direct from producers and that
these commodities he distributed through
regular retail channels at a retail
price to be fixed bv the government.
"The cost of living must go no higher.
Wages must ! advanced in every case
to n point nt whnh the American stand
ard of living is secure. The life and
the productive np-n-ity of the great
farming community, now stricken
sorely, must be b-miglit back tn the
richness that has market it above the
agriculture of all other nations. This
will lie po-slhle only when the vicious

Chlcitm, June i
Validity of the prohibition amend
ment and portions of the enforcement
act wns involved in seven separnte pro
ceedings before the Supreme Court. Two
of these were original suits brought by
Rhode Island and New Jersey as sov
ereign states to enjoin enforcement in
their jurisdictions upon the grounds
that both enactments were unconstitu
tional. The other cases were direct ap
peals from lower court ihcrees.
Steps to institute the suits were taken
immediately after the amendment be
came effective on January 1(1 and on
motion of coiiul their consideration wns
expedited.
In both the Rhode Island nnd New
Jersey suits the validity of the eight
eenth amendment was nttneked. but the
New Jersey (ne alo alleged that even
If the ndnieudtnent were valid the en
forcement act was unconstitutional be
cause it had not been concurred in by
New Jersey under provisions of the
amendment giving the federal and state
governments concurrent power to en
force prohibition.
New Jersey also contended that if the
entire enforiement net were not uncon
stitutional, the portions of it limiting
the alcoholic content of beverages to less
than one-half of 1 per cent and relating
to the dispensing of liquors for medici
nal purposes were Invalid.
The cases reaching the court on ap
peals weie those of the Kentucky Dis
tilleries nnd Wnrchouse Co.. Christian
Fcigenspan. a Newark, N. J., brewer:
the St. Louis Rrewlng Association, and
tieorge C. Demp-ey. a wholesale liquor
dealer, of Iloston, Mass., who lost in
junction proceedings iu the lower court.
The other case before the court was an
unpen by the government from a de
cision of Fedeinl Judge (iciser enjoin
ing federal officials from interfering
with the Manitowoc Pioducts Co.. a
Wisconsin cormirntlon. In the manu
facture of beer containing 'l:7i per cent
alcohol
In nil the cases a general attack on
the nmendmeut wns made on ground
that It was revolutionary and consti
tuted legislation iu tho guise of a con
stitutional amendment designed to reg
ulate the private habits of individuals:
that it intefered with the states' police
powers ; that it was invalid becauuo
adopted by two-thirds of the members
of Congress present when the vote wns
taken and not by two-thirds ot the
membership, nnd tlint the amendment
was not rntiticd oy three-fourths of the
states, owing to provisions In many
state constitutions requiring that
amendments be submitted to a referen
dum. dtun. This last contention was ruled
upon by the Supreme Court Inst Tues
day when It was decided that the
amendment had been properly ratified
nnd that state refercniiuiiis on amend
ments nre void.

by Court Decision
"The only thing tn do now Is to elect
a new Congress nml repeal the net,"
said Joseph II. Pearson, president of the
Phllndelnhln Retail Limior Dealers' As
sociatlon. this nfternoon. discussing tho
decision of the Supreme Court that pro
hibition is constitutional.
Mr. Pearson said that lie and other
members of the Retail Liquor Dealers'
Association were greatly surprised by
tlie decision.
"We firmly believed Hint the liquor
legislation was uuciuistltutlnunl, and
had expected this would he the Su
preme Court's decision.
"To say that I wns sorry to hear the
news is to put It mildly. This looks
like the beginning of the end. A new
Congiess and new legislation offer the
only way out. Prohibition can be over
turned by legislation. This ought to
be done.
"I cannot forecast what the liquor
dealers will do next. We can't very
well decide until we have seen the whole
text of the decision."

gates and alternates, finally put through

The woman's prerogative to change
her mind wan a feature of the meeting,
nn amendment to the resolution first

declaration that the women asked
"adequate" representation, Mrsi Itob-
ert Ilurdette, of California, defining
"adequate" to mean at least one more
than one-third of the executive com
mittee membership.
The moderates were opposed by Miss
Mary Garrett Hay, of New YorK,

executive committee, and Mrs. Fletcher
Dobbyna. of Illinois, while their reso
lution, presented by Mrs, Medlll Me

manship of the Tlepubllcnn national
committee, two secretarvshlns on the

tion on the national committee itself.
Miss Hay declared that the women's
executive committee "has neer nt any
time tried to organize a separate
woman's Itepubllean party." adding
that the women did not wnnt a sepa
rate branch of the party.
"Wc don't believe In a woman's
party," she srtld, "hut moreover wc
don't believe In a man's party."
Both Miss Hay and Mrs. McC'onuIelc
paid tributes to Chairman Hays of the
national committee. "We owe to Mr.
Uayn more than the women have ever
owed to any single politician. " Mrs.
McCormlch said.

"All the big fellows will hnvo their
trial heats, but I don't see how they
arc going to get by," said Governor

say regarding his candidacy for the
presidency except that "things nre
going nlong nicely."
Governor Sprotil Vald a noticeable
feature of the pre.convcntlon hours
wns the good feeling among tho delo
gatlnns, who led him to believe the'
light would not be protracted.

daughter. Mrs. Henry .1. Klner. The
ladles left for the West yesterdav.
"I'm hopeful," Mrs. Sproul fold n
friend before she left, In commenting
on her husband's chances of capturing
the nomination. And her eyes shone as
she said It.
Mrs. Sproul found It nn impossibility
to remain at her beautiful home near
Chester while proceedings which may
have such n vital bearing on her own
life were In progress In Chicago,
She felt that the tension would be
less If she were actually on the ground
and could sec and be with her husband.
Furthermore, the smoke nnd battle
and excitement of the big convention
were nllurcmenta ln themselves.
