LAWYERS DECLARE DRY LAW ILLEGAL New York Group Adopts Re- port Declaring Ratification Violated Tenth Amendment. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, March 13.—A new question of the constitutionality of the eighteenth amendment, not heretofore passed on by the United States Supreme Court, was raised today by a committee of the New York County Lawyers’ Asso- ciation, which recommended its presen- tation to the court. Ratification of the eighteenth amend- ment by State Legislatures and not b; the people, the committee report said, violated the tenth amendment to the Constitution and was therefore illegal. The report is to be voted upon at the next general meeting of the association in April or May. After quoting the tenth amendment, which reads, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution or prohibited by it to the States are Teserved to the States respectively or to th'rgleople.” the report says: “The State Legislatures, under control by either States or people, have not been made the agents of the people to vote away the people’s rights or to give any additional power over them. “The eighteenth amendment eonflicts with these constitutional rights of the American people and can confer no powers on the National Government over ARMY TRANSFERS MADE ~ PUBLIC BY DEPARTMENT President Accepts Resignation o_l Second Lieut.
