Ijanimous decision. Thus vanished the 1 I j hopes of many for a "wet" holiday j | time. \ i I No decision was rendered on the < | cases involving the constitutionality < I of the Volstead law, the prohibition 1 I enforcement act, framed to carry out ? lithe intent of the prohibition amend- ' II ment to the constitution. 5 I In passing, however, Associate 1 | Justice Brandeis did hold that the |! prohibition amendment was binding 1 |; on the states as well a.? the federal \ government. i The court entirely reversed the : contention of the "wets" that war- . time prohibition was outside the j war-time powers of congress and * i pointed out that war-time control of 1 I h food and railroads still were in effect. I ## V 11 i The decision added one of the final } 'milestones to the long fight to make I | the country dry. ' I! After giving decisions today, the ! I t | court recessed "for the holidays and | does not meet again until early ii} January. The prohibition constitu-| tional amendment will become effec-| tive Jaunary 16. Upon the court's decision on the prohibition enforcement law, which is expected early in January, will depend whether the federal government | has at hand any legal means for. I making the amendment effective., } The constitutionality of war-time, \ prohibition, however, the "drys" are j f confident, will keep the country dryj until the mendment is canned into I ; j effect by law of its own. The decision read by Justice Bran-1: I / i ] Ideis before a court crowded with at- ? jtorneys for the liquor interests and i their attack on the law and then flat- J |ly declared that there was no sound I foundation for them. |i Justice Brandeis, deviating from| ! the usual custom of the court, did not * j keep the large crowd in suspense un- * ! til after the reading of the opinion,^ j;before announcing the final decision p but announced immediately that thej* 1 , i nuiawiwiHWiwtMHiiiMmntiiMnnuiitHiHtHmiMtMiuuwiiMiiimiwMmiiuMHmtHiwtiiMiiHMiiW'W J .NFVF 11JU V 1. 1 i j I 'i i Have You H CLOTHING DERWEAR, i I; Big Cm ! !

Simultaneously wjth the meeting of agriculture committee, the house interstate commerce committee tomorrow will meet to consider a bill proposing an embargo on all sugar exports. Advocates of broad government control as well as the purchase of the Cuban crop told the committee that "high prices" were threatened and that the purchase of the Cuban crop only would aid the profiteers by increasing the supply, i For the first ten months of this - year, almost 1,250,000,000 Opounds> ? of sugar have been exported from s this country, * said Representative Ballinger, Republican, of Massachu; setts, citing the equalization board > as authority of his figures.
