be impossible to put just limitation

one quarter we would want to make up

Seven objections were made by Mr.
Hin to the Kenyon bill for licensing
the packers. They were:

not be placed in the hands of one
person. No man is wise enough to
discharge the duties of such an Of

3-Sufficient laws are now on the
statute books to prevent unreason-
able profits by the packers.
4-Hampering the packers will in

Judge Hand Holds
Dry Law Justified
BY Decentralization
War Emergency Exists Until
Conditions Are Settled,
He Says, Denying Plea of
Wine Men for Injunction

Prohibition scored agans when
Judge Augustus N. Hand, In an opn-
ion yesterday denied the motion made
in behalf Of the firm of Scatena, Law
son & Pcrelli, owners Of vineyards
and wineries in California and dealers
in wines in this city, for a prelimi-
nary injunction restraining United
States Attorney Francis G. Caffey and
Collector of Internal Revenue William
H. Edwards from making seizure and
prosecution under the war prohibition
act. The restraining order was asked
for on the ground that the present
enforcement of the war prohibition act
is unconstitutional because the emer-
gency purporting to justify it no
longer exists. The complainants con-
tended also that the enforcement of
the act will be ruinous TO their bust
ness.
In his decision Judge Hand said that
the question of the constitutionalty
of the war prohibition act depends
upon whether prohibition Of the liquor
traffic bears any substantial relation
to the conduct of the war either in
contributing to the support of armies
or to their safe and efficient demobili-
zation."
"In other words" said judge Hand,

power depends not merely upon whether
the means employed is adapted to aid
in the immediate prosecution of the
war, but also whether it can be said
to have any substantial relation to
