Congress Has Right to
Define Intoxicating Liquor,
Senate Committee Holds
Washington, Aug. 14. To secure
uniform and efficient administration
and enforcement of the prohibition
law Congress clearly has the right to |
define what is intoxicating liquor, |
the Senate Judiciary subcommittee ]
held in a formal report filed late i
yesterday on the amended House |
prohibition enforcement law.
In support of its contention, the i
subcommittee appended an elabo- |
rate brief, understood to have been j
prepared by counsel for the Anti- J
Saloon League of America, citing |
many court decisions and precedents, j
Only a few explanations for the i
changes made in the House bill were |
contained in the report. In some
cases, the report said, the House [
provisions were regarded as "un- j
necessarily burdensome." No rea- j
son was cited for adding the pro- j
vision to permit home manufacture j
and use of light wines and cider.

week should lose seniority rights

J. W. Johnstone, secretary' of the
Stock Yards Labor Council, said he I
intended resigning and advising the
