Vote for Prohibition Faces House Vote
Washington June 9 Special. The house will soon record its judgment on national prohibition. A Hobson amendment to the constitution will be debated after a ten hour rule, with Underwood favoring a vote though he shifted during his senate campaign. Prohibitionists press for action while anti prohibitionists fear loss. The revised amendment would ban sale and manufacture of intoxicating liquors in the United States and territories, with Congress or states enforcing by legislation. Howard E. Kershner, prohibitionist leader, cautions that the amendment alone does not enact prohibition without supporting statutes.
