Mail Order Whisky Trade Under ICC Scrutiny
A June 26,000,000 gallon annual mail order whisky trade was reviewed by the Interstate Commerce Commission. It found corrugated cartons reasonable but charging by weight unfair and discriminatory against stone jugs. Major south shipping points like Jacksonville and Chattanooga move hundreds of thousands of gallons yearly, with the trade concentrated in prohibition states. The commission notes the traffic’s link to prohibition laws and its impact on the region’s race problem, while deeming the overall question outside its remit.
