Enforcement of prohibition laws proved extremely difficult. Many Americans did not agree with the decade long prohibition of the shipment and sales of alcoholic beverages. Not only were the laws being flaunted openly, organized crime groups were becoming more and more involved in all phases of the liquor business.

Their main conclusion: "We find something must be done."
