MUST BACK DOWN

Last winter the Legislature OF
Massachusetts passed 275 per cent
beer law. The Legislature did this,
knowing it was in violation of the
Federal law Governor Coolidge now
Vice-President-elect, vetoed the bill.
The measure then went to referen-
DUN and was approved by meager
majority.
Last week Governor Coolidge COM
mrnicated to legislative leaders the
fact that the laws of Massachusetts,
are in conflict with the Eighteenth
Amendment to the Federal Constitu-
ton, and to the Volstead law, and the
result is that the chairman of the re-
cess committee on revision of the
state law has called meeting to con-
slider recommendation to the Legis-
lature to remove the cause of the con-
fict.
In other words, Massachusetts, will
have to back down and conform her
law to the Federal Amendment and
the Volstead act.
