Washington. March 14 m The
house today took up consideration
of the Cullen beer bill under unani
mous consent, with a view to a vote
after three hours of debate and un
der procedure precluding amend
ments. Senate leaders likewise plan to
expedite the legislation requested
yesterday by President Roosevelt,
the capitol expectation appearing to
be that the bill would be ready for
his signature before the week Is out.
Asked whether the bill approved
by the ways and means committee
met the approval of President
Roosevelt, Rainey replied:
"It meets with White House ap
proval."
Meanwhile, Chairman Ashurst of
the senate judiciary committee said
he was ready to listen to arguments
for the constitutionality of 32 per
cent beer.
"I have no doubt whatever that
3.2 per cent beer is permissible un
der the constitution," Ashurst told
reporters.
'Indeed, I think I could say 3.05
per cent is permissible. As to a 32
per cent bill we will have to con
sider it. However, I am ready to
listen to the arguments."
Senator Ashurst had Just confer
red with President Roosevelt at the
White House, but declined to com
ment on his conference.
While Ashurst was talking down
town, the house ways and means
committee approved the Cullen bill
for a 3.2 per cent brew.
That was the alcoholic content of
the bill passed by the house but lost
in the senate jam last session.
No record vote was taken by the
committee today.
It was approved virtually as

porter or similar fermented liquor

The measure applies to the terri
tories of Hawaii and Alaska and to

No provision is made for the sale
of wines.
The committee also struck out a
provision to permit the measure to
apply to any other liquids whicn
may be developed as a beverage
containing not more than 32 per
cent alcohol by weight.
The measure would take effect at
the end of 15 days after date of en
actment.
A clause is included in the meas
ure providing that if any part of it
is held Invalid the remainder of tne
act shall not be affected.
Under the provisions of the Webb-
Kenyon act, beer can, not be trans
ported into dry states which do not
desire its importation.

WATER SERVICE
HERE DAMAGED
BY UNEMPLOYED
Demand that the Oregon-Wash
ington water Service company re
store water connections at the
home ot O. M. Green, 1130 North
Front, was made by Max Ferrer, of
Salem, self-appointed spokesman
for a group of around ISO unemploy
ed men before J. T. Delaney, man
ager, Tuesday afternoon.
The group arrived in a bellicose
attitude, but after a committee ot
six had hurriedly been selected to
represent tnem, a harmonious sit
uation existed, temporarily at least,
aiter a conierence in Deianey's of
fice which was attended by repre
sentatives of the water company,
including Walter Keyes, attorney,
and tile press.
The unemployed council de
mands that no water be shut -off,"
declared Ferrer. In reply to De
ianey's inquiry relative to seeking
assistance through the proper sourc-
ne said "no one navs anv at
tention to tile unemployed, anyhow.
Delaney informed him that in
Green's case, the water had been
turned on again twice after it had
been shut off and advised the com
mittee to take up the matter with
Community Service, after explain
ing the company, as any other
utility, Is governed by rules and
regulations and that these had been
over-stc.i;: d in order to make heavy
volunteer contributions to relief
agencies to take care ot this and
similar situations.
"If Green, or any member of his
family, or anyone else hi this situ
ation comes to us, we try to ascer
tain his ability to pay, and then if
necessary, go with him to Communi
ty Service and assist him In every
way. In no Instance, no matter how
much the delinquency, has water
ever been turned off, or even will be,
when there is sickness in the fami
ly," Delaney said.
Members of the grievance com
mittee were Max Ferrer, who re
fused to give any other address than
Salem; C. M. Green, 1130 North
Front street; G. C. Stuart, 144 Front
street; G. M. Wyatt, 245 "D"; J.
Harris, Mill street and O. E. Ba
ker. 1365 Nebraska.
Members of the council who re
mained in a bunch outside the wa
ter office were reluctant to talk of
their grievances until the committee
had finished its conference with
Manager Delaney.
They said, however, that for
families In hard circumstances the
water company had required a de
posit as a guaranty of payment of
the water mils, tile presumed agree
ment that they would be furnished
water until the deposit was exhaust
ed. Contrary to this understanding,
they claimed, the water company
had in a number ot Instances shut
off the water supply before the de
posit had expired.
Several times, it was said, after
the water company had cut off the
water, members of the Unemnloved
council had turned it on again,
causing a constant clash with the
utility. Members who were inter
viewed appeared not to be informed
as to arrangements made through
Community Service for carrying the
upers who naa not paid.
They stressed the point that the
protest was coming not only lrom
Persons whose water had been cut
off, but from their neighbors, some
of them employed persons in good
circumstances who complained be
cause of the danger ot unsanitary
conaitions arising wiui the shutting
off of the water.
"Our organization of unemployed
numbers about 1500 hereabouts,"
said one of the men. "Of course we
are not all unemployed. More of
Our members are employed just now
tnan are unemployed, and for the
rest of us it is no fault of our own
that we are not at work.
The newspapers have been pretty
unfair with us at times, calling us
reds and communists, and other
things. We are American citizens,
everyone of us, and some of us are
ex-service men."
"I've got a souvenir of the war
myself," said another oue, slapping
a leg that bulged with an old in
jury. "And I didn't get it In Russia
either."
'I've got a remembrance too," said
another man with a stiff ankle, "and
I didn't get that in Russia."

EX-CANADIAN
RAIL HEAD DEAD
New York. March 14. UP) Sir
Henry W. Thornton; former chair
man of the Canadian National rail
ways, died this afternoon at the
age of 62.
Sir Henry Thornton, K. B. E.,
was born In Logansport, Ind., on
Nov. 6, 1871, and was educated at
St. Paul's and the University of
Pennsylvania.
For 38 years he devoted his life to
railroad work, mainly in the en
gineering divisions of various roads.
In 1911, he became general sup
erintendent of the Long Island rail
road, a subsidiary of the Fennsvl-
vanian.
In 1914. at the Invitation of pow
erful British Interests, he went to
England to attempt a reorganiza
tion of the Great Eastm railway.
His entrance into British life was
widely criticized, but within a year
he was popular and successful in
England. So efficient had his man
agement of the Great Eastern be
come that the war years brought
him control over all army transport
on the continent.
For his services he was knighted,
and for a year he had held the
title of brigadier general. In 1918
he became a major general. He was
naturalized, a British subject, in
March, 1919.
In addition to his British honors.
Sir Henry received the legion of
honor from France, the distinguish
ed service medal from the United
States, and the order ot Leopold,
from Belgium.
In the fall of 1922, he was called
to Canada by the government to
take over the management of the
Canadian National railways. He re
signed in 1932 and since has spent
much of his time in New York.
