would force brewers having agencies here
to paya local license it must have recourse
to the city ordinances rather than the
state laws. This is the decision of Judge
Haiy Of the municipal court. The Schlitz
Brewing company's agent was arrested
early in August, together with agents for
several other brewing companies, and
Judge Noyes of Milwaukee defended them.
The case was started under the statutes,
another action bringing the validity of the
city ordinance into question having been
brought in the circuit court by the brew
ing company itself through an Injunction
al order. -
When this case was argued before
Judge Vinje the court took occasion to
talk pretty plainly to Judge Noyes when
the latter argued that the city was inter-
fering with the company's business and
that the ordinance had provisions that
greatly hampered the wholesale liquor
selling The court told the attorney tina I
his clients business was not on the same
plane as other business in the eyes Of the
law; that it was permitted to go on
only as a matter of federation under spe-
cial permit. ,,.., q, a.

benefit Of the city that perhaps decision
from the higher courts might bep REQUIRED
by taking brewery agent before some
local magistrate who holds a different
opinion and then taking an appeal. >
