|tice White rendered a supplementary
opinion %concurring In the n render
ed by Justice Van DevaDter, but going
more fully into the issues involved.
The Issues.
Validity of the prohibition amend
ment and portions of the enforcement
act were involved in seven separate
proceedings before the supreme court.
Two of these were original suits
brought by Rhode Island and New
Jersey as sovereign states to enjOin en-
|fOrcement in their Jurisdictions upon
the grounds that both enactments were
unconstitutional. The other cases We're
appeals from lower court DEGREES.
Steps to institute the suits were taken
Immediately after the amendment be-
came effective January IL and on mo-
ton Of counsel their consideration was
expedited.
In both the Rhode Island and New
Jersey suits the validity OF the
eighteenth amendment was attacked,
but the New Jersey case also alleged
that even if the amendment were valid,
the enforcement act was demonstrations
al because 1t had not been cOncurred in
by New Jersey under provisions of the
amendment giving the federal and
state governments concurrent power to
enforce prohibition. New Jersey also
cOntended that If the entire enforce
'ment act were not unconstitutional, the
portions of 1t limiting the alcoholic
content of beverages to less than one
half Of one per cent and relating to the
dispensing Of liquors for medicinal
purposes We're invalid.
The cases reaching the court on APP
peals were those Of the Kentucky Dis
tilleries and Warehouse company
Christian ~Feigenspan, a Newark. N. J.
brewer, the st. Louis Brewing assOci-
alton and George G. Dempsey, a whole
sale liquor dealer of Boston, Mass,
who lost injunction proceedings in the
lower court. The other case before the
court was an appeal by the govern
ment from a decision of Federal Judge
Geiger enjOining federal officials from
interfering with the ManitOwoc Prod
ucts company, a Wisconsin corporation,
in the manufacture Of beer containing
20 per cent alcohol.
HI I'LL tue cases u general Itluck OIL
the amendment was made on ground
that it was revolutionary and consti-
tinted legislation in the guise Of Il con
stitutional amendment designed to reg
late the private habits Of individuals ;
that it interferred with the states pO-
lice powers: that 1t was invalid because
adopted by two-thirds of the members
OF congress present when the vote was
taken and not by two thirds of the
membership and that the amendment
was not ratified by tlrree-fourths of the
states owing to provisions in many
state constitutions requiring that
amendments be submitted to a referen-
dun.
Federal court DEGREES Diminishing in
junction proceedings instituted by the
Kentucky Distilleries 4 Warehouse
company of Louisville, KY, to enjoin
enforcement Of the act against it were
sustained by the court. Injunctions
sought by George c. Dempsey, Il Bos-
ton, Mass, wholesale liquor dealer, to
restrain enforcement of the enforce
ment act against him were also denied
by the court.
The courts opinion on the main
issues involved vas unanimous. Asso-
ciate Justice McKenna and Clark, how
ever, dissented in part.
