PADLOCKING DECREES CLOSE BIG BREWERIES Injunctions Most Sweeping of Kind | Granted in East, Mrs. Willebrandt Says. .Two padlock decrees closing two New Jersey breweries for one year for violating the national prohibition law were said today in a report to Attorney General Stone by Assistant Attorney General Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt to be the first sweeping injunctions of their kind to be ob- tained east of- Chicago. . In the government's fight for these injunctions, Mrs. Willebrandt states, the breweries employed “every pos- sible technicality of law,” and the brewers “remained defiant at every step until the final order dismantling and closing their establishments was given.” In the first case, United States vs. F. A. Poth & Sons and Cereal Prod- ucts Company, an order was entered closing the brewery for all purposes for a vear and compelling the de- struction of all “high-powered” beer found on the premises. The decree in the second case, United States vs. At- lantic City Beverage and Ice Com- pany, ordered the closing of the brewery, destruction of “high-pow- ered” beer, and the dismantling and sealing of 'all machinery used in the manufacture of beer. The ice-manu- facturing plant connected with the brewery was permitted to continue operations provided it was separated from the brewery by a solid wall of brick. | In Toronto.
