Appellate Court Simplifies Prohibition Case Against Brewers
The court lifts pendente lite injunction on the Federal prosecutor allowing him to proceed. It leaves in force the injunction against McElligott noting it cannot harm the acting collector of internal revenue. Emory R. Buckner calls the ruling a victory for brewers who claim 2.75 percent beer can be made and sold after July 1. Cornelius J. Smyth says the ruling offers brewers less advantage than before and that war time prohibition remains enforceable with penalties.
