WETS FIND HOPE IN ROOTS WORDS
Washington August 2 The wartime prohibition enforcement bill passed by the house and before a senate committee is unconstitutional, say Elihu Root William D Guthrie and William L Marbury counsel for the United States Brewers association. The opinion holds that until the eighteenth amendment takes effect January 16 1920 Congress has no express power to prohibit manufacture and sale of beer. The lawyers declare there is no valid reason or evidence to support wartime enforcement necessary to conserve the nation's food supply despite district court rulings.

Federal Ownership of Railroads Proposed in Bill
Washington August 2 A Democrat from Tennessee Representative Sims introduced a bill proposing federal ownership of railroads. Backed by four brotherhoods and the AFL, the plan would divide control between the government and workers, with bonds issued to buy lines and shared earnings.
