Prohibition Debate Highlights New Jersey Viewpoints
Samuel Wilson of the Anti-Saloon League outlines Congress’s likely stance on the Eighteenth Amendment with dry majorities in both houses. He notes 25 wet senators to 71 dry and 133 wet to 302 dry in the House, stressing loyalty to the Volstead law and urging enforcement by New Jersey officers. General Lewis T. Bryant warns mercantile employers that overtime for women is prohibited by laws from 1921 and 1912, with penalties for violations, and requests cooperation with employment offices in major New Jersey cities.
