Prohibition Legislation Faces Defeat This Session
Washington February 17 The defeat of pending prohibition bills seems likely as Congress nears adjournment with enforcement measures stalled in both houses. The Civil Service bill for agents and the Customs reorganization bill languish while enforcement gaps threaten a wider political impact ahead of the presidential campaign. Proponents fear a resignation by Assistant Secretary Andrews if bills fail, a move they see as a blow to prohibition and a test of congressional responsibility.

Operators And Miners Seek Way Out Of Trouble
Miami February 17 A sub committee of a joint conference of miners and operators examined two plans to relieve the coal trade. W Haskins proposed sending miner wages to a committee of miners, operators and outsiders. John Lewis of the United Mine Workers offered a five point plan aiming for a sound industry, noting possible wage changes if conditions improve. Miners oppose bringing in outsiders and fear political influence. Haskins said the talks were no closer to a settlement than Monday. Miners want to keep current wage scales, while operators seek downward revisions to compete with fields in Nevada and elsewhere.
