*1- Rich Can Buy
The rich can get liquor. McSorley
said. but the workingmen cannot
get the beer they want.
“The great. majority of the build-
ing trade men believe in modifica-
tion. especially when we see how
the law is working out." he 'con-
tlnued. ”Justices of the peace are
called in by district attorneys and
forced to resign."
"What for?" asked Senator Reed
“For co‘operatlng with enforce-
ment officers in ‘ 'shaking down‘
bootleggcrs. Why in Cuyahcga
county, Ohio. the district attorney
has compelled several justices to re-

Replying to Senator Reed. Me-
sOrlcy said that if the workmen
wanted to drink now he had to pay
a. beotlegger $10 for a quart of
whiskey.
“If he could get beer he would
not do that." the witness said.
"Those who can't buy whiskey make
home brew which in the end‘ is no-
thing but a lot of sour slop.”
"Can they get drunk on it?" ask-
ed Reed.
"Oh, I suppose so. Each man has
his Own formula. I know of num-
erous cases of men who never drank
whiskey. who drink it. now."
A man gets a bottle of whiskey:
gets a few friends and then don’t
‘ stop until it is all gone."
Next the wcts called Andrew Fur-
useth. president of the international
longshoreman’s union. who‘ said
"the reformers" had started early to
work on thé seamen by cutting of!
their grog at sea.
“The theory was." he said "that
if the men diQnot get their grog at
sea they would lose their taste for
it. The theory did not work out.
As a seal-nan, I am opposed to
the saloon: always was and always
will be. The real men among the
seamen take the same position.
“We seamen. you know, are the
rakings and scrapings of hell and

when no nos else could. it was ter-

Furuseth then gave the commit-
ts a chapter out of his own life to
illustrate his point that thoro is
"no sense" in the present situation.
Has Been I‘rohibltlonlst
“I have been a prohibitionlst." he
said, "but after I became slyly you.
old. 1 took some claret. They took it
away from me.
"Since prohibition I use some
whiskey. a tablespoonfui in a glass
of water and these“. my dinner.
The doctor says it does no good."
"Did you pay so a pint for it?"
asked Senator need.
No i paid $3 and six bits: the
doctor did‘nt charge me for the
prescription.
"Sometimes I got some stun gi!
on me that did't “smell right or
taste right. so I threw it in the
sulll.
“Did you have any dllllculty
tinding someone to sell that sort of
stuff to you?" asked Senator Reed.
"No, I never did."

James O'conueil. president of the
metal trade workors' association.
told the committee there seemed to
be an oliort to make it appear that
organised labor favored the return
of the saloon.
“No class in sociew would be
more strongly opposed to the return
of the saloon than organized labor."
he declared. "It is not a. question
with me whether We should have
2.75 beer or six or eight. per cent
wine. The question is whether the
present law is operative.
“My observation is that it is not.
Far from it."
"This law is being violated open-
ly and flagrantly by every class of
society. it is violated more freely
by some classes. because they have
the money.
“Everywhere I go. and I am
travelling one-third o'f my time.
prohibition is the one subject of
conversation, on the trains; in the
hotels; in the home.
"Most everywhere you go you
can buy liquor; in the hotels; in
the clubs and in the sa.ons They
are not called saloons now but not
long ago I was in a large city and
wulnvltod to a club . There were
all the trappings of tho old saloon
oven to the brass roll for your
foot."
"That was a comfortable situa-
tion." observed Senator Reed.
“1 recite this because it may in-
terest you old timers." O'Connell
replied. and the crowd laughed.
O'Connell gave it as his convic-
tion that the present law cannot be
enforced.
"You can‘t regulate the habits of
people by law." be said. “You can‘t
regulate their drink any more than
you can prohibit by law making
by women.
“We are coming back to normal-
cy after tho war. The wonder is
“how this thing was put over on
the people. I don't believe it ever
could be done again." .,
Frey continued that the trades
union in Ohio “want the law modi.

still removed from the homes."
"You were opposed to the eigh-
teenth amendment?" asked S'sltor
W .lsh ,
"Yes." Q"
"Your state legislature retitled
the eighteenth amendment?"
"Yes. by a large vote."
“Before that you had had s. vote
on the question?" asked Senator
Reed.
"Afterwards there was a vote and
the state voted against prohibi-
tion._ " Frey replied.

hair is bad for polso in the opinion
of Miss Helen Drummond, physical
culture instructrees at tho Ostorborg
Training College for Girls at Don-

vised against short hllir for young

opposed to good posture.
“Bobbed hair results in uncon-
trolled movements of the head so
the bobbed girl is forever throwing
back her head to keep her hair
from ller‘iuce,” she said.

"They also show more foarlessnese

To this protest the mayors repliod
that the Bible contained a dofinlto

Epistle of St. Paul ‘to the Corin-

which it stated:
