Washington, Jan. 8.?In the most .sweeping of all decisions upholding prohibition laws, the supreme court today upheld as constitutional and valid'the Webb-Kenyon law prohibiting shipments of liquor from "wet" to "dry" States. It also sustained West Virginia's recent amendment to her law prohibiting importation in interstate commerce of liquor for per sonal us?. After having heen vetoed hv President T?ft, who held it unconstitutional, and having heen repassed hy congress over his veto, the law was sustained hy the sunreme court hv a vote of 7 to 2. Leaders of the prohibition movement declare it is to their fight second only in importance to the proposed constitutional amendment. Lawyers for liquor interests who heard the decision today admitted it upheld and applied the law "in its fullest sense." Chief Justice Whi?e announced the majority oninion. to which Justice Holmes and Vandevanter dissented. Justice McReynolds, while agreeing with the majority decision, did not concur in the oninion. An official digest of the majority opinion preparer! hv the court set out its holding as follows: A Stringent Law. "1. That the West Virginia law. besides prohibiting the manufacture or sale of all intoxicants except ?s to that which is permitted for medical, sacramental and manufacturin" purposes, also forbids all transportation of liquor and all receipts and possession of liquor transported in the State, whether originating in or outside of the State, ajid although it does not prohibit personal use, puts serious restrictions upon the power to obtain for such use. "The court holds that in view of i-L^ 11 i-LP-L - J 12 -- iiio wvii .cawtunsntfu none" Hiunnniv r-n$indmcnt to the constitution of the United States. It, however, decides that unless the State authority has an exceptional application to shipments of interstate commerce as the result of the act of congress known as the Webb-Kenyon law, the provisions of the State law restricting shipments of intoxicants into the State from other States would be unconstitutional, because interfering with the power of congress to regulate commerce amonR the States and consequently woul dbe a direct burden upon such commerce. v/i y> iae i\nect. '2. Considering the Webb-Kenyon act, the court holds that there is no foundation for the contention that the act only applies to shipments from one State into another for a use prohibited by the State to which the liquor is shipped. On the contrary it is decided that the Webb-Kenyon act to use the words of the act, applies to shipments of liquor 'intended tc he received, possessed, sold or in an\ manner used' in violation of the laws of the State. As this conclusion causes every prohibition of the West Virginia law to be embraced and come under the right conferred by congress by the Webb-Kenyon act. it is decided that the West Virginia law was not in conflict with the commerce clause of the constitution and the power of congress to regulate commerce if congress had power to en. act the Webb-Kenyon law. "3. Disposfng of that question, it is decided that congress had the power under the constitution to adopt the Webb-Kenyon law, whether considered from the point of view of original reasoning or in the light of the previous legislation by congress and the decisions of the court holding that legislation valid.
