Supreme Court rules Kirmeyer beer case interstate commerce
The Kansas liquor case involving M. Kirmeyer and wholesale dealers in Leavenworth was decided yesterday by the Supreme Court. The court held that Kirmeyer’s Missouri warehouse and Kansas deliveries were protected as interstate commerce and dissolved a Kansas injunction.
