William Roberts Recalls Trip He and Late
Samuel Gompers Took—Gives Evidence of
- Prohibition Evils—Beer Driven Out By
if . Poisonous Liquors—Chicago Wets Protest.
warmer-on, April eH—(sr)
A challenge to dry lead
its to join in a movement for a nation-wide referendum on light
tunes and beers was issued today before the Senate pr ibition
rammittee by spokesmen for the American Federation
' Appearing as a witness for the
wets and speaking as personal rep-
sessntative of President William
arson of the federation. William
Roberts told tho committee that the
”present uprising of those opposed
to. the Volstead Act is a stable. sol-
id movement."
"I sincerely believe that those
who oppose light wines and beers
re'slise that a referendum would
declare in favor of a modification
.of the Wolstead act." he said. "If
this were not true, why do they
fight a referendum?"
- Mild Beers vs. Poison.
“The defenders of the
act apparently prefer to see the
people of our country seriously af.
fected by vicious concoctions of liq-
uor rather than to make it a tem-
, porsnco country by legalizing the
manufacture of mild beers."
' "Mr. Roberts was the first wit-
ness for the webs at the fifth day
of the Senate hearing. The drys
will begin the presentation of their
side of the prohibition picture next
week.
Telling of the 80. 000 mile trip
that he and the late Samuel Gom-
psl's made over the country in 1923.
and 1924, the witness said that
“eve here we went there was
ple'nty of distilled liquor. but seldom
real beer." /
“We found that the homes of the
people had been turned into brew-
e.ries and disfillerles which turned
out dangerous concoctions that i!
to our extent would ruin the
hail of those whom drank pens."
he continued.
When asked why they drank such
stuff he said tb was nothing else
todi‘p obtained- e declared the
pbople‘a invariably ask when mem-
bers of congress are going to real-
isefthst the manufacture and sale
of beer would make for true tem-
pounce. Women as well as men
wife interested in such questions.
he told the committee.
« Public Resenunent.
”As time passed the resentt‘nent
appeared to grow in intensity as we
travelled about the country from
coast to coast and from Canada to
the Mexican border. The greatest
“complaint appeared to be that the
people were forced to drink all
kinds of concoctions. represented to
be whiskey.
"out the resentment did not find
much publicity as newspapers gen-
orally supported the Volstead act
because the dry element spread its
propaganda unceasingly in every
part of the land. The opponents of
the act so far as it prohibited the
manufacture of beer and light
wine were only permitted to voice
their opposition among their friends
3le their acquaintances."

ed'for the committee of conditions

go spokesmen had a similar story to
relate of the west.

ing betrayed by the present leader-
ship of the league. He and his
friends claim to have evidence sup- i
porting the‘charges and are eager
to present this evidence to a com-
mittee of church probers.
But most important of all is the
desire of Anderson to have the con-
ference declare to the world that his

were the result of a "frame-up" and
that he was never guilty of morn!

remained on the tracks until hit by

By Sanford's own admission his

two rsme together the automobile
was pushed back off the tracks with
a terrible bump but despite the

on its way for about 75 feet. It re-
mained right side .up and this fact
probably saved Sanford's life.
Passengers and the crew rushed
from the trolley expecting to find
Sanford dead. Instead he was very
much alive. for he climbed out of the
wreckage. A hasty examination
lshou'ed that Sanford was not hurt.
