LAWYERS ARE ACTIVE
Emergency Wartime Law viii Be
Tested in Courts Immediately
After Treaty of Peace Has
Been Signed.

New York, March 22.-Steps are be-
ing taken to attack the constitutions
atty of the federal prohibition amend
ment and the wartime prohibition act,
the committee of distillers of the
United States, representing the entire
distilling industry, announced.
Levy Mayer of Chicago, counsel for
the organization. was instructed to ar
range for a suit to test the emergency
prohibition law after the treaty of
peace has been signed. Action to
bring about a judicial review of the
eighteenth amendment, it vas stated,
would await the outcome of r~eferen-
dunn elections in 13 states where Pc
titions calling for a popular vote on
the bone dry" enactment have been
filed or are in circulation.
Referendum Declared Necessary.
Mr.. Mayer advised the committee
that in states having referendum laws
and whose legislatures have ratified
the amendment, the ratification would
have no affect unless a majority of
the votes cast in the elections favored
the amendment.
The attorney also gave an opinion
that il the wartime prohibition act is
unconstitutional, manufacture of dis
titled spirits. forbidden by the Presi-
dent under the food conservation laws

nullify the federal amendment the dis
tillers named California, Washington,
Oregon, Nevada, Idaho, Utah, New
Mexico, Colordo. Michigan. Ohio. Mis-
souri,, Maine and Nebraska as states
where referendum petitions have been
circulated. AS As state legislatures
ratified the amendment, nine more
than the necessary three-fourths, the
distiilers' announced plan of action
could not be carried out IL the people
of more than four states approved the
decisions of their legislative bodies.
Tactics Follow Brewers Policy.
The distillers' attacks on the war
time prohibition follows the lines laid
