Supreme Court Backs Prohibition Enforcement Act
The Supreme Court ruled the Volstead Act constitutional by a five to four vote, upholding federal power to suppress intoxicating liquor during wartime. The decision dismisses Jacob Ruppert’s challenge to beer sales of 2.75 percent. Justices Brandeis, dissenting, questioned broader authority, while the majority affirmed Congress authority to enforce prohibition under wartime powers.

Fair price undercuts wholesale in Chicago clothing drive
The Associated Press reports Chicago stores are selling cheaper grades at fixed "fair prices" set by a winds fair price committee. Officials say suits and overcoats are priced at 24.50 for men, 25 for women, with 75 cents for hats, and other items on a corresponding scale. Merchants claim the sale uses stock bought months ago and that wholesale costs are higher than retail, yet the drive relies on large buying power to push low prices for men and women.
