Conclusion OF the proceedings OF the
tWenty-eighth Brewers convention.
In an address issued recently the
president and other officers OF the Ma
tlonal association say:
IAN eventtul year has elapsed since
Baltimore. During that year we have
achieved many victories at the ballot
box in various parts of the Union: but
we have also suffered many diScomfit-
ures, prominent among them the de-
ciSion of the supreme court Of the
United States sustaining the prOhlbitOry
law Of the state of Kansas. Discourag-
ing as this decision seemed to be at first
it nevertheless had two
VERY BENEFICIENT EFFECTS
upon this association, inasmuch as it
created a universal desire among
brewers to render their national
organization more effective, and
induced more than 100 individ-
ual brewers, and two local as
sociations california and PEORIA to be-
come members of our body. Other Oc-
currenceS helped to bring about a still
closer uniom than existed before be-
tween the local associations; and pres
ent Indications warrant the assumption
that the current year will witness
marked change for the better i'll the at
titude and condition of our trade. 1t de-
ponds in large measure upon the con-
VentiCn TO be held at st. Paul whether
this expectation will be realized, and we
therefore urge you to be present and aid
US in the work which it is intended to
accomplish.
Turner hall had been secured 10y the
local committee for the use of the con-
Vention, but since that arrangement
was made the hall has been leased for
the new Peoples theater, and change
Of base was necessary. Consequently
Standard hall has been obtained, and
the convention will meet at that place.
Among the features provided for the
entertainment of the delegates. who are
REPRESENTATIVE BREWERS
Of the Uunited States, are a cOmpli-
mentary banquet at the Merchants,
where covers will he laid for 500 guests,
and a ride in carriages from ST. Paul to
Minneapolis, via Fort Smelling and Min
nehaha falls. the latter feature having
been agreed upon as fitting finale to
the convention. Prominent among the
questions to be discussed is that of the
labor movement, which acquires addi-
tional Importance from the fact that the
trade from New York, Chicago and other
cities will bring to the discussion the
advantage Of recent practical experience
acquired during the conduct OF lock-
out.
The officers of the National associa-
ton are: President, William A. Miles:
vice presidents, Henry Clausen, Jr.,and

Huppfel, and secretary, Richard Kat
zenmayer.
