Last Stand

CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-Fedcra
Judges Carpenter and Fitzhenry an.
nounced at the conclusion of argu,
ments in The attack by Chicago and
Peoria liquor firms on the wartime
prohibition and enforcement acts that
they would take the case under ad.
visemcnt. An injunction is asked in
both districts to restrain federal of.
ficials from interfering with the sale
of whisky. A favorable decision
without stay, preventing sale Of
liquor until an appeal by the gov
ernment could bedecided, would mean
immediate resumption OF whisky sales
in both districts. ~
The granting Of an injunction by
Judge Brown in sinl:iarT case al
Providence, R. l., was reported to At.
torney Mayer in telegram and he
made reference to it in his argument
He based his argument on the follow
ing points:
That the enforcement act violates
the fifth amendment by deprivine
citizens of property without due pro
cess of law or just compensation.
That both acts are void because
they were passed to meet an emer-
gency that has passed, the war being
over and the president having vetoed
he enforcement act, it YVES contend
ed, and declared the army demobilized
"Many things were done by con.
gress during the war which went un-
challenged" said Attorney Mayer.
"Such things were conceded to he
war measures, but row that day is
past when such justification is accept
BILE. The day of reckoning is here.
"The constitution was not suspend
ed during the war. The powers OF
the United States 70 prohibit the sale

gress during the period OF the war
But the war is over Congress now
has no right to interfere with the po-
lice powers of, the states"
Counsel proceeded to say that ten
days after the president advised con-
gress of the cessation Of hostilities
congress tackled onto the agricultural
bill the wartime prohibition measure
prohibiting the sale for beverage pur-
poses of any distilled spirits, from
June 80, 1919, until the president
proclaimed demobilization ended, fol
the purpose of conserving the mar
power Of the nation and the increas
ing of efficiency in the production o1
arms, meats, ships, food and clothing
for army and navy.
"This is a palpable falsehood," de-
clared Mr.. Mayer, "and is INDUCED in
for the purpose of giving the color Of
legality in the exercise of the wal
power"
