. CHICAGO. Nov. . A report of
the congressional Investigation of
enforcement of the Volstead law
was given the anti-saloon league
convention today in the report pre
pared by Representative Grant M.
Hudson of Michigan chairman of
the committee.
The Information was gained
from thousands of questionnaires
sent out by the committee to state
officials, social and welfare organ
izations and leaders In industrial
and commercial life.
It Is very doubtful If any brewer

Will be attempted violations."
Whiskey Supply Decreasing.
The control of the genuine whis
key supply in the country. Repre
sentative Hudson ssid, is quite ef
fective now, 22.000.000 to 33,000.000
gallons still in bond resting in con
centration warehouses and the pre

''The great weakness of the en-
iorcement or tne istn amendment,"
said Representative Hudson, "has
been lack of adequate penalties.
The system of fines operates only
as a license law. The Increasing
number, of convictions compared to
the total number of cases Indicates
a growing determination to stamp
ot law violations."
Mors Prosoerity, More Homes.
The questionnaires, Representa
tive Hudson said, were almost un-
anlmous In their expression of the
benefits resulting from prohibition,
the replies quoting figures on de-
creased pauperism, increase of
prosperity among working men.
