WOMEN SPLIT ON DRY ISSUE, , SURVEY SHOWS Delegates at Washington Conference Show Half Favor Modification. WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.—Would American women vote to modify the Volstead act? Perhaps, yes, and perhaps, no. Women from all walks in life and all sections of the coyntry ard, in Washington this week, attending the conference of women, in industry called by the department of labor. Opinions expressed by many of them indicate a grave question as to whether or not their sex would stand out against modification of the dry law. Miss Rose Schneiderman, president of the cloth hat, cap and glove workers, and one of the country’s leading feminine labor leaders, believes women in industry would vote for modification. "I’m for prohibition myself,’V she said. "But. I’m afraid they would." Fifty-Fifty Split Mrs. Franl? R. Halas, Chicago, vice president of the Illinois We* men’s Trade Union League, believes it would at least be a fifty-fifty split. ‘‘The question came up at one of our recent -meetings,” Mrs. Halas said. “I was surprised—at least half the delegates, from all kinds ks industries, favored modification. W "Moreover, it came up at an auxiliary meeting of wives of union men, and the split was about in the same proportion.” Three young women workers from the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of the World were positive in stating that their sex and class would refuse to vote against the Volstead Act.' i , “Working women are for prohibition,” said Miss Dorothy J. Rhllanit, New Yor£ garment worker. Miss Rose Reiter of Rochester and Miss Sarah Rosier of New York Qity, agreed with her. But Mrs. Anna W. Hochfelder, assistant corporation counsel of New York and delegate from the Women Lawyers’ Association, disagreed. Failure "New York women in law and politics would vote to modify the law," she said. "The believe it’s a failure and that there are no indications of improvement in the,future.” And Mrs. Blanche E. Little from Cushing, Okla., representing the National Woman’s Party, thinksdt’s a grave question how women in ’ her State would vote. “We see so much of the narcotic evil that has followed prohibition,” she says. “Snowbirds, we call them —oil men who’ve taker, to cocaine and other dope since they can’t get liquor.” Two women from Minnesota expressed exactly opposite opinions. One said Minnesota was a rock |<ibbed dry State, including Minnesota women. The other believes it would favor modification. For Modification A Y. W. C. A. delegate who, had been traveling through the South said plenty of women down there would vote for modification, and a delegated from the American Legion in Vermont said New England' wasn’t even thinking about ahy

airing of the wet and dry question. • But no matter what their opinion on the attitude their sex would take for or against modification, moat of the women approached seem to believe this: That women’s stand* on the prohibition question will always be a personal one, to be decided by each member of the sex individually.

Notable among the articles regarded as "luxuries” by the Chinese tariff experts comes drugs and medicines. Hardly less surprising, to those familiar with the habit of eternal and widespread civil war in China, Is the inclusion of arms and munitions. Another luxury heading reads “Vehicles, etc., (excising touring motorcars).” At present 'about the one greatest necessity in China today,

Other listed “luxuries” Include clocks, watches and accessories thereof, which are admittedly superfluous In a place where time means as litle as In China, India-rubber and manufactures thereof, fish and fishery products, and beverages and comestibles of superior quality (standard of judgment not stated.)
