Washington.--With the war cry: *t>76 per cent beer versus sour slop," the American working man appeared before the United States senate's prohibition Investigating committee With these demands: "Legalisation of beer of 2.75 per pent alcoholic content and wine of From 10 to 18 per cent alcoholic conliUlit *No return to the saloon. "No repeal of the eighteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States. "A chance to vote' on modification of the national prohibition law." Labor's spokesmen uttering those Semand* represented officially 4,000,- 900 members of the American Federation of Labor, who with their families make an aggregate labor union population of 24,000,000. Demands were accompanied by vigorous declarations on conditions created by efforts to enforce the Volstead act Outstanding declarations of that nature were: "The most serious danger confronting the republic la that we are becoming a whisky drinking people. "The present state of affair* must be Improved upon or It will result In chaos. "Ninety per cent of the working mso are making wines, beer and such decoctions In the home out of every known fruit and vegetable. They are even making wine out of paresnlps. •"The average working man feels that the Volstead act only benefits two rlswuin One Is the fanatic who wants . to. reform and regulate everythlDg by tew, and the other Is the bootlegger. "Ninety-live per cent of the men of labor are opposed to the Volstead act In Its present form and believe that It Is unenforceable." Labor's antlsaloon declaration was •qually emphatic. It reads: '"There seems to be a disposition to represent organised labor as In favor of bringing back the saloon. We want to make It clear that there would be no stronger opponent of bringing back the saloon than organized labor." The main trend of arguments and of pleas for beer, the arguments for light wines being swamped, so to ^eak, by this statement made by President William J. McSorley, speaking for one million members of the building trades department of the American Federation of Labor: "Among working people you don't hoar the cry, 'We want wfhe,' but •Give us beer and we will bf satlsfl* d.'" l(r. McSorley added: * "Restore beer, and 10 per cent of tiie working men might still want hard liquor, but 90 per cent would be satisfied.

Mr. and Mrs. John McEvoy have returned from Cincinnati, Ohio, where they have spent the past couple of months, and taken up their abode in the Peter Doherty house on Washington street. The library was one of Father McEvoy's greatest delights during his lifetime. Being a great student and lover of books, he had found much enjoyment in its perusal. It contained books on religion and reference writings of various kinds. They were valuable, therefore, for two reasons. First, because of the wide range of subjects they covered, and, second, as a remembrance at the late priest. The books had been crated and were being stored in the Justen furniture store until such time as Mr. and Mrs. John McEvoy, parents of the late priest, should decide as to where they were to be shipped. Together with the books in the furniture store were twenty-five large and beautiful pictures which were also burned and a solid silver plaque with frame of a composition resembling marble, a present to Father McEvoy from Count Von Oberstadt of Germany. This plaque, -bearing the picture of the late Holy Father, Pope Leo, had been given the McHenrjf pastor during the World War when the count was making his home in McHenry. Count Oberstadt had also received it as a present as it had been presented him by the Holy Father in gratitude for his services to the Catholic church. The plate was not completely destroyed by the fire and, although the silver was partly melted, the picture of the Pope is still visible, although indistinct. The frame, however, was completely burned. Deering End Gate Seeder, Eagle Straw Spreader, Weber Wagon, complete, Moline Wagon, complete, Lime Sower, 5-ft.
