MANUFACTURE OF WAR
BEER WILL CONTINUE
Injunction Granted by Federal
Judge in New York Pending
Decision by Supreme Court.

NEW YORK, N. Y, May 24.-Uninter-
rupted production of war beer" until the
courts have passed upon the claim of the
United States Brewers Association that
the beverage contain two and three-fourths
per cent alcohol and is not an intoxicant,,
was assured Friday when Federal Judge
Mayer granted an injunction restraining
government interference with its manufac-
ture.
The court declared that his decision had
been influenced by President Wilson's mes
sage to congress recommending repeal Of
the war time prohibition act insofar as il
relates to beers and wines and by Federal
Judge Hands ruling last week that the law
placed ban on the manufacture only of
liquors that were in fact intoxicating.
Although. United States District Attor-
ney Caffey, representing the government,
opposed granting an injunction, Judge May
er said that he WOULD contribute TO fair
settlement of the question raised by the
brewers under the emergency prohibition
act The injunction, temporary one,
would be effective, the court said. pending
review of his decision by the circuit court
of appeals. or, il the government should de-
eide TO let il stand, until the brewers suit
permanently to enjoin prosecution for the
manufacture of 24 per cent brew, could
be tried in the district court
Judge Mayer announced that he would
sign the temporary in junction next Mon
day and suggested that the federal attorney
and Elhu Root and William ID. Guthrie,
counsel for the brewers. confer with the
senior Judge of the court of appeals TO ar
range an early review of the order. District
Attorney Kaffie pointed out that if possible
decision on appeal should be obtained be-
fore July 1, when prohibition of the sale OF
intoxicants becomes effective, unless con-
gress in the meantime follows the sugges-
ton of the president for repeal or amend
ment Of the law.
