DRY ENFORCEMENT LAW

No decision on the constitution
ality of the wartime prohibition
and the Volstead enforcement act
was rendered today by the Supreme
Court. and there was no indication
when a decision would be handed
down
Arguments on the constitution
ality of the acts were advanced by
the court at the request of the
government. and decision had
been expected generally when the
court recoI~ ened today after a re-
cess of two weeks.
AS Monday is the regular opin-
ion day of the court. decision is
not to be expected before next
Monday. if then.
The cases on which the constitu-
tionality of the wartime act was at
tackled were from Kentucky and New
York. while that on which the valid
ity of the enforcement act was con-
tested reached the supreme court
from New York.
Arguments in appeals from Balti-
more, Md. and New Orleans lnVoiV-
ing the right to manufacture beer
conta ining 2.75 per cent alcohol are
to be heard by the court this week.
Government attorneys. it was un-
derstood, offered to submit these
cases on their printed briefs. but
attorneys from the other side de-
clined. Because of this insistence
to argue the cases persons familiar
with the courts procedure believed
the court withheld returning its
opinion in order to hear any further
arguments attorneys for the brewers
might desire to present. No further
opinions will be rendered by the
court until next Monday.
