The Lager Beer Men.
ST. LOUIS, June 4.-The brewers 1911
annual convention met here TODAY
President Reuter- delivered a lengthy
address, giving the statistics of the trade
during the past year. In referring t.
the prohibitory and license systems o.
Massachusetts,, the president quote.
from the Massachusetts, bureau of sta
tlstics of labor, issued last January, anG
shows that the number of arrests and
convictions for drunkenness under the
prohibitOry law in 1874, was about q
per cent greater than under the license
law of 1877; and that the number OF
places where liquor was illegally sold
under the prohibitory law of 1874, was
1876; larger than the whole number oil
places licensed under the license law OF
1877. These facts are used as arguments
that license law as legislative meas
ure not only regulates the sales of LIQUOR
but decreases drunkenness, while pro-
hibitory law fails to prohibit or even
regulate the sale of liquors. The address
argues at some length, and from sci.
entific standpoint, the advantages OF
beer as beverage, and also as an article
of nourishment.
