Victory For Prohibition.
United States Supreme Court
In Sweeping Decision, Up
holds Validity of Webb
Kenyon act.

AAN - WE ssSSs
In the most sweeping of oil decisions
upholding prohibition laws. the U. 5.
Supreme Court at Washington on Mon
day declared as constitutional and valid
the Webb-Kenyon law, which prohibits
shipment of liquor from wet" to dry
states. 1t also sustained West Virginia e
recent amendment to her law prohibiting
importation in interstate commerce OF
liquor for personal use.
Having been vetoed by Pre- sident Taft,
who held it to be unconstitutional, and
having been repassed by Congress over
his veto, the law was sustained by the
Supreme Court by vote of z to 2.
Leaders of the prohibition movement
declare the decision is to their fight sec
ond only in Importance to the proposed
constitutional amendment. Lawyers for
liquor interests who heard the decision
admitted it upheld and applied the law
"in it's fullest sense"
Wayne B. Wheeler, counsel for the
Anti-Saloon League of America, who,
with Fred Blue, State Prohibition Com
missioner of West Virginia, argued the
case before the court. made this state
mept:
'.The states may now prohibit the pos
session, receipt. sale and use of intoxi-
eating liquor and not be hampered by the
agencies of interstate commerce.
"Chief Justice White announced the
majority opinion, from which Justices
Holmes and Vandevanter dissented. JUS
tice McReynolds, while agreeing with
the majority decisions, did not concur in
the opinion.
1.-The attracting power of govern
ment over liquor is settled" said the
Chief Justice in announcing the decision.
There was no intention of Congress
to forbid individual use of liquor. The
purpose of this act was to cut out by the
roots the pra ctice of permitting violation
of State liquor laws. We can have no
doubt that Congress has complete author
ity to prevent paralyzing of state au-
thority. Congress exerted a power to
coordinate the national with the state
authority"

increase was expected to be finally de-
termined.
This question, together with action
to relieve congestion at the ports Of
New York and Newport News, now
bearing the brunt of the heavy export
freight shipments. Is occupying Nc
Adoos attention TO the exclusion OF
other problems now.
His plan is TO Immediately divert
freight directed to these points and
send II to Boston and Philadelphia. The
long haul OF freight from the central
part Of the country for which the
eastern roads have been actively bid
ding, will be eliminated entirely and all
such shipments will go to New Orleans
and other southern points which have
been practically idle
McAdOo is already turning his atten-
tion to financing Improvements in ter
minals and equipment. Some Of the
1900 locomotives under order in Ameri-
can plants by foreign governments viii
be requisltloned. Some lines viii be
stripped OF engines and freight cars,
which will be placed into service In
congested territory.
Many passenger coaches will be con-
verted into freight cars.
Additional terminal facilities and
storehouses will be constructed at tide
water ports and at the big inland rail-
way centers. II win be weeks, prob
ably months, before the common use
Of present terminals at New York, Jer-
sey City and Chicago can be worked
out.
Government officials today asked the
public TO be patient with Federal con-
troll. New tracks, engines. freight cars
and terminals must be built Priori-
ties must be revised Rerouting will
require careful thought. To do away
with present congestion in the east Will
take weeks. McAdoo's organization
must be completed and Will need time
10 make Its plans.
Many steps must wait on Congress
sional sanction. This legislation is
being framed To-Day TO cover the
finances and intricate legal problems
resulting from the change 30 govern
ment control.
While the President will get exactly
what he wants from Congress, there
will be a spirited tight against his plan
for compenssting the railroads on a
basis Of their last three years net op-
Grating income A group OF Senators,
lead by Cummins. think the compensa-
ton should be based on a flat six per
cent OF the average market value OF
stocks during the last Ave years. Such
basis. they contend, would save the
government millions and fairly com
pensate the railroads.
Aside from this point there ls no
opposition to the Government railroad
plan, and opposition party leaders who
have studied the railroad problem and
talked with McAdoo as 10 his plans
say he shows "a remarkable grasp OF
the work"
McAdoo will devote himself entirely
TO the railroad problem until February
4. BY that time he expects to have his
organization completed, labor questions
settled, the congestion at terminals re-
lieved-and viii take up the work OF
launching the next Liberty Loan.
