Particularly in such strong- ly affected states as Calif York and Ohio has Such endeavor to save their own hides been the recourse of the light drinks element. That amendment changes all this, however. It is no longer a case of the distillers hanging Separately. Distillers and brewers have got to hang to- gether to combat hanging wholesale. Congress certainly Zipped off the camouflage and arranged for a fight in she pen.
