Liquor Dealers Fight Prohibition Rulings in Courts
Washington reports show the Retail Liquor Dealers’ Association of New Jersey seeks to block the national repeal effort while New Jersey’s opposition moves to curb enforcement. In New York lawyers threaten civil action against the U S government for losses estimated at 300 million dollars as the Supreme Court decision unsettles liquor holdings. Bankers expect little impact from the ruling though loans on warehouse receipts were liquidated. Saloons face expected price hikes and scarce supply as officials warn of delayed shipments abroad and tighter controls.
