SKIRMISH SEEN THIS WEEK OVER ORY REFERENDUM Expected When Andrews’ Amendments Are Called Up in Senate. ' Times WasMnnton Bureau. 13SS Yew York Avenue WASHINGTON, May 31.—Prohibition Itadors here axe becoming genuinely apprehensive over the rapidly shifting sentiment against the workings of the eighteenth amendment and the demand to modify the Volstead act. Indicative of their alarm is the manner in which they are shooting at the proposal that there be a cleancut, Statewide referendum where the issue can be presented purely on it3 merits, without consideration of any entangling issues. Almost daily in the Senate for the past week Senators Caraway of Arkansas, Dill of Washington and Fess of Ohio have argued heatedly against the referendum. 'Debate Rooms Intensive debate on the proposal is looked upon as a certainty this week when Uhe Judiciary Committee reports Gen. Lincoln C. Andrews’ amendments to . “put additional teeth’’ Into the law. The oratory the past few days was merely a preliminary skirmish, compared with the flow of words expected to be unloosened in the Senate when the proposed acts actually come up for consideration. Senators James Wadsworth of New York, probably leader of the G. O. P. organization of his State, today in a statement urged the adoption of the referendum idea by all the States. It was Wadsworth’s iniative which led to passage a referendum in New York. “The prohibition issue,” Wadsworth said, “will not down. It becomes more acute every day. It cuts straight across party lines, which fact Is indicated by the depth of the feeling of multitudes of people who warn an opportunity to express their views at the ballot box. I think they should have it. Sees Healthy Vote* “I am glad that the New York Legislature is submitting a referendum on this question to the people of New York. I look to see a healthy vote on ;his question next November. “At the bottom this prohibition question is constitutional and fundamental. The people are beginning to realize this. We have had nothing like it in two or three generations. In one form, or another the people themselves vfill express their opinions at the ballot box, where grave fundamental and constitutional questions should be settled.” Senator Wadsworth said the suggestion of Senator Fess, dry, of Ohio, that the elections every two years •re a test on prohibtion sentiment, does not satisfy the people. “The voters know perfectly well that there are other issues in every election which becloud the prohibition issue,” Wadsworth said. “They want a chance to vote directly on the prohibition issue. They know that the referendums themselves cannot have any effect directly on the law but they regard it as their right to use this means of petitioning the lawmakers. I think they should have this right under these extraordinary circumstances.” ,
