has begun a countrywide drive

of malt. hops. bottling outfits and
other materials and devices used in
the making Of beer. At the direction
of the Commissioner. whose action
in Washington doubtless will be fol-
lowed by similar action in other
cities prohibition agents raided sew
eral distributors of beer-making ap-
pliances.
Commissioner Hayes has instruct
ed State directors and prohibition
agents throughout the country to get
busy and raid all establishments
where malt, hops and beer-making
utensils are sold. He contends that
the Nolstead act gives authority for
such raids and coniscations. Ma
terials and appliances valued at ap-
proximately s25,000 were seized in
Washington yesterday afternoon.

Haynes, however. holds the Volstead
law applies and has directed his en-
forcement force throughout the
country to seize all beer-making ma
terials and utensils
It was said at prohibition head
quarters that the action OF Commis-
sioner Haynes is based on Section
- Of the Prohibition act, which
says:
1T shall he unlawful to advertise
manufacture sell or possess utensil
contrivance. machine, preparation,
compound, tablet, substance. for
mula, direction or recipe advertised
designed or intended for use in the

act stipulates that at shall be un-

Commissioner Haynes after the
