BREWERS VICTORIOUS IN SUIT AGAINST U. S

New York, May 23.—Federal Judge Mayer announced— today that he would issue an injunction restraining the government from interfering with the production of beer of 2.75 alcoholic content pending a judical determination of the brewers’ claim that such a beverage is not intoxicating. Judge Mhyer’s statement was made in the course of argument for a temporary injunction in the case of the Jacob Ruppert Brewing company against the United State Distinct Attorney and the collector of internal revenue of New York. The case is one of a series to test the constitutionality of the war-time prohibition act.
