McReynolds Says Webb Law Not Enforceable in Federal Courts
Washington June 20 Attorney General McReynolds instructed every U S attorney that the Webb law prohibiting interstate liquor shipments into dry states is not a criminal statute and violations cannot be prosecuted in United States courts. The act forbids interstate traffic but has no penalty, aiming to let state prohibitions apply to moving liquor across borders. The ruling suggests the federal government isn’t bound to enforce a law lacking a penalty, leaving interstate liquor to be treated as outlaw commerce by states, with constitutionality potentially headed to the Supreme Court.
