Association Endorses Anti-Locker
Action of Baptsts After Heated
Controversy.

A dispute over one word in locker
club resolution caused something of a
sensation at the meeting of the Evan
gelcal Ministers Association Monday
when DR.. c. w. Daniel, pastor Of the
First Baptist Church, quit the assem-
blage in a huff claiming that the
chair had ignored his right to recog-
milton.
The dispute came over the adoption
OF a motion by the Rev. H. NJ. Du-
Bose, pastor Of the First NJ. E.
Church. approving the resolutions re-
Gently passed by the Baptist Minis
ters Association UNFOLDING the First
Baptist Church in going on record
against membership in locker clubs.
Immediately controversy started
over the word action" in the original
resolution. A strong opinion seemed
to prevail in favor of approving the
principle" OF the First Baptist
Church movement rather than the
action.
Or. Wilmer Offers Change.
The idea was that the action should
be left to each congregation individ1
ually
Or. C. 3 Wilmer, OF St Luke's
Episcopal Church, moved that the
word principle" be substituted for
the word action" in that part Of The
resolutions which referred to the
hearty approval of the action Of the
First Baptist Church in its resolution
adopted March 49,"
DR. Daniel. whose church was one
OF the first to take action on the lock-
er club question, objected to the sub
stitution of the word principle in
stead of action" as contained in the
original resolution and asked for the
vote on the question.
DR.. Daniel Leaves.
There was no vote taken on this
issue. whereupon DR.. Daniel said ne
had been refused recognition from
the cdair, occupied by tho Rev. w G..
Schaeffer Jr.. and quit the meeting,
saying he would not remain II he
could not have vote on the pro-
posed rcarranging Of the resolutions.
Immediately after Or. Daniels
withdrawal from the hall Or. Wilmer
withdrew his motion for the subsi-
tuition Of the word principle" and the
resolutions in full were unanimously
Endorsed by the association.
DR.. Wilmer in his request had ar
gued that the resolution contained
too concrete a form Of expression
relative to the locker questions, and
that the word principle would in
volve the same sentiment and yet not
infringe on the preroge tives of each
congregation.

MACON WAR
ON SALOONS
At CLIMAX
Law Enforcement League De-
feated in Appeals Court, Goes
to High Tribunal.

The appeal case of the Law En-
forcement League of Macon, repre-
scented in the person of ], R. Howard,
against the Acme Brewing Company
was argued in the Supreme Court
Monday.
This case If decided adversely TO
the brewery probably will serve to
put every brewery and near-beer
dealer in the State out Of business,
and it therefore is being watched
with great interest in at least four
of the large cities-Atlants, Macon
Sayannah and Augusta.
The case argued Monday Is an in
junction appeal from Judge Mat
thews' court in Bib. Under an
agreed. state of facts, the Acme Brew
ing Company manufactures "a malt
beverage but not IAN Intoxicating
beverage" Upon this showing, Judge
Matthews refused the injunction.
League Loses in. Lower Court.
The Law Enforcement League OF
Macon holds however that the State
prohibition law expressly prohibits
the manufacture and sale in Georgia
of all malt liquors, regardless Of
whether they are intoxicating. It
seems that the Court Of Appeals has
decided this point in favor of the
manufacture and sale Of non-intoxl-
eating malt liquors in several cases,
but the Supreme Court never has
passed on that question
It is admitted that every brewery in
Georgia manufactures malt near
beer. but 1t is not agreed that their
,roducts are intoxicating, within the
legal meaning Of the word.
The Acme Brewing Company was
made the object of an injunction pro
ceedng by the Law Enforcement
League OF Macon, but upon the in
ability of the prosecution to show
that the Macon product was intoxi-
eating. the process was denied. The
league then fell back in appeal upon
the point of the product being malt,
as stated, and that is the question be-
ing thrashed out Monday.
Little Success in Macon.
The Law Enforcement League has
been very active against the near
beer saloons in Macon, but so far has
not been uniformly successful in its
crusades. The situation, legal or u
legal, as the case may be, remains
about the same in the Central city
that It has been ever since the pro-
hibition law was enacted
II the Supreme Court, however
holds that it is Illegal in Georgia to
sell a malt product. regardless Of its
Intoxicating qualities, It win deal a
staggering and perhaps fatal blow to
every brewery and dealer in near
beer. imitation beer or real beer IN
the State.
The case for the Macon brewery
was argued by Attorney W. D. Nc
Neil and for the Law Enforcement
League by Attorney r. d. Dagan'
both of Macon.
