War time prohibition acts upheld by federal court ruling
In Chicago on November 18 Judge George A Carpenter ruled the wartime prohibition act and the Volstead enforcement act constitutional, with Judge Louis Fitzhenry concurring in Peoria. The decision denies an injunction sought by Hannah and Hogg to block enforcement, noting Congress had authority under the state of war provisions and that demobilization was not complete.

The article notes a Peoria decision expected and comments from Attorney Mayer praising the government argument.
