WEBB-KENYON LIQUOR
LAW TO BE CONSTRUED
Supreme Court to Interpret and Pass
on Constitutionality of Statute
in DRY" States.

Preparations have been made for con
sideration by the supreme Court of the
United States shortly after the Easter
recess OF litigation involving the con-
stitutionality and Interpretation of the
Webb Kenyon liquor law. enacted by
Congress in 1919.
The "drys' contend that the Webb
Kenyon law has withdrawn from inter.
state shipments of Intoxicating liquor
consigned to local option territory the
protection previously afforded sucf
shipments by the commerce clause OF
the federal Constitution. The "wets'
declare the law was merely aimed a
"bootlegging'' and does not withdraw
the commerce clause protection from
interstate shipments designed for per.
sonal use.
Express companies and railroad line:
are as much concerned over the proper
construction of the law az over the
question of validity. Liquor dealer.
throughout the country have gone intt
the courts to compel carriers to accep
shipments for personal use" into dry
territory.
In Kentucky the courts adopted thu
wet" construction, and an expires!
company. foreseeing an alleged neces
sity of employing a big force of in
spectors and detectives to ferret ou
the purpose of each shipment. appealed
to the Supreme Court. 1t is this cast
which will be argued after Easter
Somewhat similar cases involving Yves
Virginia and North Carolina iquo
laws also are before the court.
