It Is a much more serious matter wherH

DRY ENFORCEMENT LAW CON-
STITUTIONAL, SAYS COURT
+ our Justices Dissent from Opinion
| Unfolding Wartime Enactment

I Our Justices Dissent from Opinion
UNFOLDING Wartime Enactment.
The Supreme Court Monday declar-
ed constitutional sections of the Vol
stead prohibition enforcement act pro-
hibiting manufacturing and sale of
beer, wine or other intoxicants, malls
or vinous liquors containing one-half
of one percent or more of alcohol.
Beer containing 2.75 percent of al
cohol is illegal under wartime pro-
hibition act, the Supreme Court de-
cided today. Dismissal lower courts in
New York of injunction proceedings
brought to restrain government Off
Gals from interfering with Jacob Rup-
pert, brewer, in the manufacture of
beer containing approximately 2.75
alcohol, but alleged to be non-intox-
icating was sustained.
Associate Justice Brandeis, who
rendered the opinion of the court, said
the right of Congress to suppress the
liquor traffic was not an implied power
but power expressly granted.
The court divided 5 to a, Associate
Justices Day, VanDevanter and Nc
Renolds and Clark dissenting.
Under the war emergency, Con-
gress has right to stop Immediately
the sale of Intoxicating liquors, the
court held.
Justice McReynolds, in a dissenting
opinion, said that the 18th amendment
had not yet come into effect, and that
the f3Ct1ai government has no genet il
power to prohibit the manufacture and
sale of liquor. Justice McReynolds
took the position that the war emer-
gency act. under which national prohi-
bition was made effective, had passed.
In sending out the report of the de-
cision to the press of the country Mon
day afternoon the Associated Press
dispatch dated at Washington on that
day said: "The prohibition enforce
ment act defining as Intoxicating bev-
erage containing one-half of one per
cent. or more Of alcohol, was declared
constitutional today by the Supreme
Court in an opinion on which the
Court divided to 4.
Proceeding brought by Jacob Rup-
pert, CT New York, to enjoin the gov
eminent from prohibiting the sale of
2.75 beer was ordered dismissed. Rup-
pert's case was brought under the
wartime act He alleged that 2.75
beer was not Intoxicating, but that the
Volstead act by limiting the alcoholic
contents prohibited the sale of beer
manufactured under regulations pre-
scribed under the Lever Food Control
act by President Wilson.
an deciding the New Orleans and
Baltimore cases Justice Day, in an
unanimous opinion, held that the man
ufacture of beer containing 275 alco-
hol was legal until the enactment Of
the Volstead act.
"In deciding the New Orleans and
Standard Brewery at Baltimore and
the American Brewing Company at
New Orleans for manufacturing 2.75
beer before the wartime prohibition
enforcement act became effective were
ordered dismissed"
