BAN ON BEER AND WINES
IN VOLSTEAD ACT UPHELD
BY THE SUPREME COURT
Prohibition of All Liquors Con-
tanning Half Per Cent. or
More of Alcohol Valid.
DIVISION FIVE TO FOUR
Revenue Bureau Had No Right
to Stop Sale Before Law
Was Passed.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 5.-The Pro
hfhition Enforcement Act defining as
intoxicating any beverage containing
one-half of one per cent or more OF
alcohol was declared constitutional to-
day by the Supreme Court in an
opinion on which the court divided
> to-.
The court also held that the Bureau OF
Internal Revenue had no right to stop
tho sale and manufacture OF 2.T5 beer
before passage OF the Volstead act.
This relieves from possible prosecu-
ton brewers and Liquor dealers who
sold 2.75 beer between July !, 1919,
when wartime prohibition became eff
fective and Oct. IS, 1919, when the
VolStead act became law, but does
mot allow the sale now OF 2.75 beer
Tnade during that period.
The court held that while it could
not say that liquor containing more
than One-half of ono per cent. Of al
duubtedly has that power. The de-
cision ON this point was unanimous.
The decision on the Nolstead law
isa defeat for the brewers who were
a attacking the constitlTtionality of
sectdDu one Of tho prohibitin enforce
rnent act in hope of gaining the right
10 cotinue the manufacture of 2.75
Der cent. beer.
Justice Brgndeis read the majority
auinion on the NolStead law anu
Justice McRcynolds read the dissent
in- opinion. Justices Van Devanter,
Clark and Day joined Justice Nc
=, Reynolds in dissenting.
Justice Brandeis pointed out that
Tho court had upheld the power OF
the States to prevent the manufacture
OF all malt liquor, and that it was
evident the Federal Government had
Tho same power as the States. He
akso knocked out the brewers claim
that Congress had no right to make
the Volstead Act effective on passage.
Justice McRcynolds insisted that
tho action Of Congress in defining in
toxicating liquor under the Volstead
Law exceeded it's powers. He de-
clared that 2.75 was Notwithstanding
and the prevention Of its sale would
have no effect on ending the war.
The minority opinion claimed it
waa ridiculous to justify the prohi-
bAAion Of non-intoXicants on the
ground that the war emergency stll
existed Justice McReynolds called
the majority opinion "nOvel theory
and said it portended serious conse-
uuences. lie denounced the assump-
ton by the Federal Governments OF
police and other powers that have not
been specifically granted it.
