Washington reports Rep. Richard Yates accuses Illinois brewers of organizing a propaganda campaign to intimidate Congress against enforcing the Eighteenth Amendment. He displays a threatening postcard urging repeal of the Sheppard amendment and warns of continued opposition. The House Judiciary Committee makes two concessions to the enforcement bill, altering possession and use provisions to avoid unjust penalties and ensure proper interpretation of the ban on intoxicating liquor.

Drys Fear Mixed on Action by Wilson and Prohibitionists
William H. Anderson of the Anti-Saloon League warned drys yesterday that wets may seek a last minute attempt to halt wartime prohibition on July 1 and that President Wilson could intervene.

Upstate Plans to Fight Every Beer Case After July First
The plan of wets across the state is to continue selling 2.76 beer and fight each illegal sale charge in court. A Syracuse lawyer says saloon interests will persist in selling after July 1, arguing 2.75 beer is not intoxicating and that revenue stamps validate the sale. They expect juries to be swayed by a single drinker on the panel.

Ford libel trial transcript cites Christ and Tennyson in debate
In Mount Clemens Michigan on June 24 the Ford Chicago Tribune libel suit opened a cross examination of Professor Jesse Reeves. Attorney Lucking quoted Christ St Paul Wilson Abbott Emerson and Tennyson to imply shared views with Ford. Reeves rejected the link noting Patriotism is not equivalent to support for anarchism. Witnesses described Ford’s handling of wartime preparedness and remarks about soldiers’ uniforms. Wife of a soldier testified about poverty and aid, and Ford officials described severing ties with workers who left for service. Several Detroit media figures corroborated that Ford would cut ties with mobilization participants.
