PROHIBITION LAW
HELD TO Be VALID
SUPREME COURT SAYS CONGRESS
HAS RIGHT TO DECLARE SALE
OF ALCOHOL UNLAWFUL.
OPINION is NOT UNANIMOUS
Four Judges Dissent From Majority
Opinion as Prepared BY Associate
Justice Brandes-Faint Hope
Left For "Wets."

Washington.-By a majority OF one
vote the supreme court upheld the
right OF congress to define intoxicating
liquors, insofar as applied to wartime
prohibition.
In a four to five opinion, rendered
by Associate Justice Brandeis, the
court sustained the constitutionality
OF provisions in the Volstead prohi'
bition enforcement act prohibiting the
manufacture and sale Of beverages
containing one half OF one per cent
or more OF alcohol. Associate Justices
Day. Van Devanter, McReynolds and
Clark dissented.
Validity OF the federal prohibition
constitutional amendment and por.
tions Of the Volstead act affecting its
enforcement was not involved in the
proceedings. but the opinion was re-
garded as so sweeping as to leave lit
tie hope among wet adherents.
Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel
for the Anti.Saloon League OF America,
hailed II as sweeping victory and
In a statement he said the only prohi
bition question left open by the court
now is whether the 18th amendment
Is OF nature that can be considered
as federal amendment and whether
1t was properly adopted.
In rendering the opinion the court
sustained federal court DEGREES dis

The VETS" however. received a
brief ray OF hope when shortly after
wards. Associate Justice Day in an
unanimous opinion. sustained the dis
missal OF indictments brought under
the wartime prohibition act against
the Standard Brewery OF Baltimore
and the American Brewing Company
Of New Orleans, for manufacturing
2.75 beer before the Vols,ead act was
passed In sustaining this action. the
court held that congress has the right
TO determine what is intoxicating bev
erages, but In view Of the fact the
volstead act had not yet been passed
manufacture OF low alcoholic beer
was permissible under the war time
prohibition act providing ii was not
intoxicating.
Following the rendering Of the
opinion, Assistant Attorney General

Neutrality-suspicious. OF the commu.
mist and communist labor parties,
against whom tle great raids by gov.
ernment agents are directed. to gain
control OF all labor organizations as
the means OF fomentiug revolution, were
revealed in documents made public by
the department OF justice. Assistant
Attorney General Garyan made public
the documents, which were seized In
several cities. with the desire. he said,
that the American people might learn
tine real purposes OF these menacing
groups and the nature OF the poison
they were spreading
The party rolls were said to carry
the names OF many persons we'll known
in their respective communities and
American citizens. Although there ID
no federal law under which the Ameri.
can communist can be dealt with, de.
partment agents were not overlooking
these. Their cases will be turned over
TO state governments.
Two hundred and eighty persons
arrested in Detroit were added to the
/ list OF those taken into custody. which
Is fast approaching $500.
Among those arrested in Portland
was Victor Sault, who attracted at.
tention by his activities as a delegate
TO the August convention OF the com.
mrnlst labor party in Chicago. In
Spokane, federal agents took into
custody Peter Fedorchok, who off.

dangerous agitators with whom they
had to deal in the northwest,

the manifesto and programme the
leaders Of the communists and com.
mrnist labor parties outlined for their
adherents the programme for melting
simultaneously small strikes and de.
velopments OF these small strikes into
mass action. The plan OF action was
given In detail from Small strikes to
minor mass strikes; from minor mass
strikes to general strikes. and from
genral strikes to tho dictatorship OF
the proletariat through revolution"
Deploring the trend OF unloaism. the
manifesto says:
The older unionism was based on
the craft divisions OF small industry.
rhe unions consisted primarily O,
skilled workers, whose skill in itself
Ia form Of property. The unions
are not organs OF the militant class
struggle now. Today, the dominant
nnionism is actually a bulwark OF
capitalism, merging in imperialism
and accepting state capitalism"
The manifesto" admonishes the
narties followers that they must ac.
lively engage in the struggle TO
revolutonize the trade unions" II
adds that as against the unionism OF
