To Vote on Prohibition Amendment.
A Washington diapati b .-ays a vote
on the proposed constitutional amend-ment
providing for nation.wide pro-hibition
may be taken in the house
committee on the judiciary th.s week.
The question was sidetracked some
two weeks ago that the committee
might consider the anti-trust bill.
The anti-trust bill h;:s now been re-ported
and advocates are insistent
that action be taken on the pro-posed
amendment. Membeis of the
committee say that the amendment
will be reported by a fair majority.
This means' that in all probability
the question will come up for a vote
in the house befoie adjournment.
