American and foreign owned steam
snip lines to make permanent the
stay restraining government officials
from putting into effect the Daug-
herty ruling that vessels must not
carry liquor inside the three mile
limit, even under seal, when touch

Meanwhile Judge Hand extended
the stay he had granted last week.
until he should reach a decision. This
decision, he indicated, probably
would be rendered before October p.
the latest date on which the Daug-
herty ruling has been ordered into
effect. Extension of the stay affects
both American and foreign lines.
The foreign lines affected by the
extension of the temporary stay were
the Cunard, Anchor, White Star,
French. International Navigation.
Holland America. Scandinaviaan-
American. and Royal Mail Steam
Packet. The American lines were
the American Line of the Interna-
tlonal Mercantile Marine Company,
and the United American Line.
The stays were original in the
cases of the Holland America, Sean
dinaVlan American and Royal Mail
lines. which. though not granted the
original stay, declared through coun-
sci that they had cases identical with
those of the other foreign lines.
Judge Hand announced he would
receive briefs tomorrow and that he
would hand down a decision as soon
rs possible, so that the case might
quickly be brought to the United
States Supreme Court. The stay, he
said, would be valid until the entry
of the order on the motion for a

William Hayward objected to Il mo-

Supreme Court. In denying the con-
tcntion of his opponents that serious
damage to the steamship lines would
be caused by the enforcement Of the
Daugherty ruling before q final Su-
premc Court decision, he said that
the government had been very cour-
teous in the matter and had gone to
great lengths to avoid embarrassment
to the ship owners.
Mr.. Hayward closed the case for
the government by arguing that ships
constituted TERRITORY of the United
States" in the meaning of the fed
eral prohibition act. He quoted Bril-
fish legal opinion to support his con-
tcntion. which. he said had been re-
cognizcd legally in most countries.
The case tor the American lines
was closed by ClctNs Heating and
Reid l.. Carr. who declared that a
decision unfavorable to them would
mean irreparable damage to the lines
and to American shipping.
"If the contention of the Ameri-
can companies is not upheld" said
