The decision of the Supreme Court of
the United States regarding the sale of
liquor in original packages in States hav-
ing prohibition laws has awakened cons
siderable interest among produce dealers
who oppose the law of Pennsylvania
which prohibits the manufacture, sale
and use of oleomargarine.
They argue that if a law prohibiting
the sale of liquor in packages purchased
in another State is unconstitutional, that
the oleomargarine law is unconstitu-
tional for the same reason. The cons
stitutionality of the Pennsylvania statute
regarding oleomargarine was confirmed
by the supreme Court. A lawyer who
argoed the case said that that point was
fully established, but that an attempt
would be made to the next session of “he
Legislature to have the ocleomargarine
law repealed.
