WARTIME DRY ACT
IS CONSTITUTIONAL:
Proclamation of Peace Only Hope
Left the VETS.
ENFORCEMENT TO CONTINUE
Justice Brandeis Holds That Siqninu
of Armistice Did Not Abrogate
Powers of Congress-No Ruling
on Enforcement Measure.

Washington, Dec. 16-The United
States Supreme court unanimously up-
held the constitutiOnality of the wars
time prohibition act, and the possible
ity of a wet Christmas went glimmer1
ing.
There apparently is no chance for al
wet holiday OfNany sort before consti-
tutiOnal prohibition goes into effect
on January 16.
Under the terms of the judicial de-
cision it is illegal to manufacture or
sell liquor until peace is established,
either by the ratification of the Ger
man peace treaty by the senate or by
resolution of congress declaring the
war terminated. There is practically
no chance for either of these plans.
Congress Will Not ReIent.
The only other possibility Of lifting
the lid for a last farewell to rum is
the repeal of the wartime prohibition
act by congress. But congress is dry
by such overwhelming majorities that
this is a forlorn hope. The chances
are the house judiciary committee will
not even report back for consideration
the Gallivan repeal resolution which it
will have before it when it meets.
Some of the vets profess to find in
the decision ground for the president
declaring the war terminated and de-
mobilization ended, which would have
the effect of ending wartime prOhibiA
tion Superintendent Dinwiddie of the
Anti-SalOOn league calls this interpre-
tatiOn "mOonshine," citing that part of
the decision holding that the termina-
ton of the wartime prohibition act
does not depend on the actual cessa-
ton of hostilities alone, because it did
not become law until after the armis-
tice.
The immediate effect of the courts
ruling is to nullify the injunctiOns re-
straining federal revenue officers from
preventing the withdrawal of liquor
from the bonded warehouses for sale
in this country. There are 60,OOO,OOO
gallons in storage, valued at present
prices at more than 81 100000.
No Volstead Act Decision.
The court did not act on the validity
of the VOlstead prohibition enforce
ment act or on appeals involving the
alcoholic content Of beer, leaving those
cases to future opinions which may be
handed down next Monday before the
court recesses for the Christmas holf-
days.
The cases decided were those Of the
Kentucky Distilleries and Warehouse
company of Louisville, KY, and Dry
foos, Blum & Co. of New York, insti-
tuted for the purpose of compelling
the government to release whisky from
bond.
In both cases the court denied con-
tentions of Elih1 Root and other at
torneys for the distillers that the act,
in violation of the Constitution, takes
private property without just compen-
sation, that the period of the war
emergency for which the act was
passed had terminated, that the law
was an interference with the state pO-i
lice powers and an undue exercise OF
the war powers of congress.

SENATE PASSES
SUGAR MEASURE
Bill Extends Life of Equalization
Board Another Year.
LOUISIANA MEN FIGHT BILL
Chairman Taussig Of Tariff Board Is
Criticized by Senator Pomerene-
Cummns Railroad Bill Called
BoIshevik Plan.

Washington, Dec. 13.-The McNary
bill, under which government control
Of sugar would be continued another
year, was passed by the senate and
sent to the house.
There was no record vote and Sena-
tors Ransdell and Gay of Louisiana,
who led the opposition, made no fur
ther attempt to prevent a vote. Sen
ator Gay made a brief address in op-
position. ending the fight Of several
days against the measure.
Purchase and sale by the United
States sugar equalization board both
Of foreign and domestic grown sugar
is authorized by the bill, which would
empower, but not direct, the presi-
dent to continue the practice until De-
cember 81, 1920, if found necessary
for the public good, and to secure fair
prices and equal distribution. The
bill specifies however, that producers,
refiners and distributors of sugar shall
not be licensed, as has been the prac-
tice under the Lever food control law.
Under the bill the boards control
over domestic sugar would be limited
to September so, 1920, when the beet
and cane crops in this country come In.
Senator Pomerene Oem.), Ohio,
criticized Chairman Taussig of the
tariff board for opposing federal pur-
chase OF Cuban sugar last summer.
Senator McNary said it could have
been bought for 61a cents pound, and
Is now over ten cents.
SPY adhering to the advice of pro-
fessional economist" Senator Pomer-
enc said. "it will cost the American
people three to four cents a pound
more for sugar"
Calls Cummins Plan BoIshevik.
Attacking the Cummins railroad bill
as "paternaliStic and bolshevistic like
the Plum plan," Senator Mcclellan
(Dem.), Tennessee, told the senate,
the government ought to restore the
roads TO their owners and let them
work out their own program without
legislation.
'"The two bills in principle are iden-
tically the same" said Senator Nc
Kellar, referring to the Cummins meas
ure and the Plum plan for tripartite
control, "and in neither is the public's
interest protected or guaranteed. They
are about as near government owner
ship as it is possible TO make them,
without outwardy admitting it."
Senator Mcclellan argued that the
railroads under government control
and present rates had been making
money since August, and that under
the Cummins bill there must be an in
crease in rates when they are turned
back.
Senator King (Dem.), Utah, inter-
rupting Senator McKellar, asserted
that the railroad administration had
not maintained the roads at their for
mer standard. and that money was be-
ing taken from maintenance funds and
listed as profits. Once the government
relinquished contol. it must face
claims for tens of millions damages,
Senator King added, because Of the
maladministration Of the roads by the
railroad administration"
