Prohibitionists Take Tight Hold in U S House
In Washington on December 9, prohibition supporters in the House won sweeping control by defeating amendments to the treasury supply bill aimed at weakening enforcement of the Volstead Act. Representative Hills faced rejection as plans to limit enforcement spending were knocked out after a brief but heated debate. The scene echoed President Harding’s address earlier that day praising the Eighteenth Amendment, while the fight over enforcement personnel and methods continued and a move to substitute fast presses for hand presses was postponed. The strongest opposing tally was seven votes against a civil service appointment amendment from Representative Tinkham, with fifty six in support.
