Would Prohibit Sale of Beer
A proposed amendment in the Senate by Senator Jones of Washington to the $11,000,000,000 emergency agricultural appropriation bill would prohibit transportation of distilled spirits during the war, prohibit manufacture of beer and wines thirty days after passage, and bar withdrawal of whisky in storage for beverage use. The aim is to meet President Wilson's objections to the Randall amendment, which would limit the appropriation unless prohibition authority is exercised.
