Notice to Washington Business Men Opposes Prohibition
The Washington Mercantile Association urges the District of Columbia Board of Commissioners to oppose any prohibition law. It argues current liquor laws are effective, local option suffices, crime and disorder are not worse than rival cities, and nonresidents should not impose changes. It cites Cardinal Gibbons and Bishop Satterlee supporting local governance and warns of illicit traffic and increased crime if prohibition is imposed. The association asks business leaders to voice opposition to Congress and share suggestions to prevent a sweeping ban.
