Houston. advising that they would not
resume the manufacture OF beer. Mr..
Looney said these advices were re-
ceived after he had filed suits IN the
SD district court enjoining these
breweries from the manufacture. sale
or transportation Of intoxicating
liquors
Two more injunctions were obtained
by the attorney general on behalf Of

Attorney general Looned has not as
yet definitely decided when he will
file in the court OF criminal appeals a
motion for rehearing in the statewide
prohibition case. but he declared that
the motion would be filed within the
10 days allowed by law. Mr.. Loonsy
said he had been too busy with in
IuAcIoA proceedings restraining the

have not been held unconstitutional
The only portion OF the law held un-l
constitutional. according TO the attor-
ney general. is that which prohibits
the sale OF intoxicating liquors. Judge

SHIPPER HASN'T MUCH TO
SAY ON ROUTING OF FREIGHT

The one outstanding feature OF
government control OF railroads. as
expounded in local railroad circles, Is
the authority TO route freight ship
ments according to traffic conditions.
Previously shippers could demand
that their freight be shipped over
certain lines whether the same caused
congestion or not. but now. demands
and threats. Notwithstanding. all
shipments are routed precisely as the
railroad experts think best
Another feature is the issuance Of
permits OF preference to shippers OF
government essentials. providing for
undiverted thoroughfare TO destina-
tion.
