Times at Which Provisions of New Law Begin. By the Associated Press. Liquor interests were warned by Jos- eph H. Choate, jr., in a statement| issued from the old Federal Alcohol Control Administration to give “care- | ful attention to the times at which the various provisions of the new law become effective.” He was referring to the new Federal Alcohol Administration act which: was signed Friday by President Roose- velt. The new law places liquor regu- lations and enforcement in the hands of the Treasury Department. Effective immediately, Choate said, are prohibitions against exclusive out- lets, “tied house,” commercial bribery, consignment sales; alteration, mutili- tation, destruction, obliteration or re- | moval of labels; bulk sales and inter- | locking directorates.
