ROOSEVELT ON SPOT IN LIQUOR REPEAL

Legislature’s Resolution Is Up for His Action at Critical Time. WASHINGTON, March 20.—'The leading early candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York, has been “put on the spot” from a prohibition standpoint, observers here believe. On his desk at Albany is a resolution passed by the New York legislature Wednesday urging congress to repeal the eighteenth amendment. He must sign or veto it. His friends here say he will sign it. This necessity for prohibition action on his part comes before the shouts of scuthern Democrats and western Republicans for “anotner Roosevelt in the White House” have fairly died away. The Democrats opposed to the Smith-Raskob wing of the party in the recent national committee meeting here leaned decidedly toward Roosevelt. Nearly all of them are prohibitionists of varying degrees of aridity. They knew Roosevelt came out for repeal in the gubernatorial campaign in New York last year, but he was more to their taste

$500,000 TO BE STATE'S SAVING IN CEMENT BILL Price Fixing Is Broken by Business Depression, Bids Show. Depression has broken the pricefixing of Portland cement manufacturers and for the first time in years the state highway department received real competitive bids and will save $500,000 more than the 1930 prices on the annual cement contracts. “Never before has the department been able to buy cement at such a wide price range,” William J. Titus, chief engineer, declared today. “Largest spread in the past was 10 cents per barrel, while this year it was approximately twice as great, with any number of firms competing, rather than a single one breaking the price for a restricted area.” The year’s supply of 1,750,000 barrels of standard cement and 20,000 barrel sos high early strength cebarrels of high early strength cecost the state 29 cents per barrel less than in 1930. Net price per barrel this year averaged $1.36, as compared with $1.65 last year. Bids were received from fifteen companies in five midwestern states. Ten companies were awarded contracts as follows: Lone Star Portland Cement Company of Limedale. 650,000 barrels of standard cement and 20,000 barrels of high early strength cement. Universal Portland Cement Company of Buffington, 475.000 barrels of standard cement: Lehigh Portland Cement Company of Mitchell. 325,000 barrels: Medusa Cement Company of Sandusky. 0., 75.000 barrels: Louisville Cement Company of Speeds. Ind.. 100,000 barrels: Consolidated Cement Corporation. Cement City. Mich., 25.000 barrels; Southwestern Cement Company. Da,'ton, 0.. 10.000 barrels: Kosmos Cement Company. Louisville. 35.000 barrels: Wabash Cement Company. Stroh, Ind.. 25.000 barrels, and the Marquette Porltand Cement Company. La Salle, 111.. 40,000 barrels.

than either former Governor Alfred E. Smith or his ally, Chairman John J. Raskob of the Democratic national committee. They were influenced particularly by the fact that he did not stress the prohibition issue as did Smith and Raskob. Roosevelt’ repeal view were subordinated to the power issue when the Republican independent group met here later. Outside of Wisconsin, almost all the Republican party progessives, are stern and unequivocal prohibitionists. Seme independents and Democrats here who are sympathetic toward Roosevelt indicate their feelings will not be changed if he signs the resolution and asks congress to repeal the amendment. They feel the step is untimely, and some even hint that Roosevelt's enemies within his own party in New York may have contributed to an effort to embarrass him.
