Show PUS II FOR 1TI0HIQE PROHIBITION Temperance Advocates Jubilant Ju-bilant Over Adoption of Reed Amendment to Postoffice Bill. CHAIRMAN MOON PROPOSES DELAY Introduces Resolution to Postpone Effective Date of "Bone Dry" Provision Until Oct. 1. WASHINGTON, Feb. 22. Postponement Postpone-ment of the effective date of the "bone dry" prohibition amendment to the postoffice bill adopted yesterday until October 1, 1917, is proposed in a concurrent con-current resolution introduced late today to-day by Representative Moon of Tennessee, Ten-nessee, chairman of the postoffice committee. com-mittee. Mr. Moon announced he would press it through as soon as the post-office post-office bill itself is finally ' disposed of. During debate on the amendment in the house, there were urgent appeals that liquor dealers be given time to dispose dis-pose of stock on hand and readjust their business. Prohibition leaders turned deaf ears then, fearing that any change iu the provision as it passed the senate might mean its defeat, but many are disposed to vote for a " postponement once the bill has been sent to the president presi-dent for his signature. Moon's Resolution. The preamble of Chairman Moon Ts resolution says: "The states which have passed laws prohibiting the manufacture and sale of liquors and the storing of the same within their borders have recognized the fact that such business theretofore had been legal, and have, in view of this, by their enactments, iven to dealers deal-ers a reasonable time within which to dispose of their stocks or remove the same from the state before the becoming effectiveness of such laws. The course followed in this respect is clearly right and just, and it would be a manifest injustice and would work a great hardship hard-ship for the federal government to deprive-these parties of the rights guaranteed guar-anteed by the states, by imrqediate denial de-nial of interstate commerce for the shipment of such liquors, which effect will, in the present aspect, automatically automati-cally follow the enactment of the prohibition pro-hibition amendment. " Conference Today. Differences between the house and the senate on other features of the appropriation ap-propriation bill will be taken up in conference con-ference tomorrow.
