Prohibition Bill Faces House Vote Over Penalties
Washington February 26 The final prohibition fight of the 7th congress is set in the house tomorrow. The Jones bill would impose up to five years in prison and a 10000? fine on liquor law violators. Dry leaders hail the measure as a blow to bootleggers. Wet critics say it targets the poor and discriminates against social and wealthy offenders. Assistant Treasury Lowman argues the clause lets judges crack down on organized rings without unduly punishing casual violators. Rep Laguardia warns the bill favors the affluent, while Rep Celler vows to push a death penalty proposal if the Jones bill passes.
