Senate Passes Bone Dry Bill To Conference Action
Prohibition advocates expect the House to accept the dry rider, preventing changes by Senate and House managers. Senators Bran-degee, Gerry, Phelan, Pomerene, Ransdell, and Underwood opposed retaining the dry provisions. The measure would ban intoxicating beverage sales after June 30 with limited exceptions and bar manufacture after May 1. Senate conferees Gore, Smith, Smith, Kenyon, and France were named. An amendment to reimburse owners of unsold spirits was rejected 36 to 15. Prohibition leaders foresee postwar demobilization extending enforcement into 1920 awaiting a constitutional ban ratification.
