Ship liquor rule roils dry crusade in Congress
A wave of opposition from dry forces threatens to derail the ship subsidy bill after the Shipping Board ruled liquor could be sold outside the three mile limit on American ships. Dry leaders charge government liquor sales would end the era of American caste at sea while Wet minority argues liquor sales are needed to compete with foreign fleets. Debates include whether to keep ships dry by law and if tests should be brought to the Justice Department, with possible challenges to Lasker’s ruling.
