DENVER, COL, July no little ex-
element has been created here over the
recent organization in London of a gil
gantic monopoly for the purchase of a
controlling interest through English and
Denver capitalists of the breweries of
this city and possibly of the state. This
syndicate has purchased and consolidated
the Fang and Denver breweries under the
name of the Denver united breweries
limited, with capital stock of $500 900.
The two concerns referred to were pur-
chased by the syndicate for S2l5 900. II
Is the intention of the company to con-
troll not only the business of Colorado,
but from the report of the
directors it contemplates the manage
ment all the breweries in America
and the disposing of the beer
and ale they manufacture through tied
houses, or in other words, through sa-
looms at retail which are owned by the
company, thereby reaping an enormous
profit and depriving the saloon keepers
of their business by freezing them out.
The following named persons constitute
the board of directors. Robert Milburn
of the Bartholamal brewing company,
of Rochester, chairman; John AIKEN
head, Norfolk brewery and chairman of
the Parker Burslem brewery; Edward
Duff, late general manager in Denver of
the Colorado Mortgage and Investment
company of London; Alfred Hopecraft,
BradsleY s. Banbury brewery of Brads-
ley, William R. H. Sandman,
Cannon brewery, Clerkenwell. The
board of management in Denver will
consist of the following well-known citi-
zens: J j. Riethmann, vice. president
Germany national bank; s. N Wood,
manager First national bank; Oscar
Reuter-, Adolph Fang. Zang's brewing
company; s L. Holman, Denver brew
ing company.
Speaking of the trust the News
says: 1.-The prospectus is that
there is no law to prevent
foreign company from holding all the
lands in the vicinity of Denver in their
own right for the payment of taxes. - 1t
follows up the statement with some COM
ment which shows that they may have
the internal management of the city by
the free use of the money they
rob the workingman of when
he is drunk and stupid They show that
bu0 VI ZIG DOdTu VI I1duH16-
ment in Denver is a signal for them to
take hold and acquire portion of the
wealth that can be accumulated under
the regime of monopoly which they
argue can be easily and safely established.
In plain terms it is stated
that one of the principal objects of the
company will be to apply for and pro-
mote the amendment of an act of the
legislature. If they have the power to
do this they can dictate the affairs of
the state and the policy OF
the government and all the
future laws will be the result
of combination of breweries. They
calculate to lend money, receive it on
deposit and transact banking business.
Any person who helps them will be re-
and they will encourage. any
advances made to them. Denver will be
floating IN a sea of beer, plotted by
brewers, but not drop of it can the
citizens drink without the payment of
cents. -
