WOES OF BERLIN BREWERS.
SOCIALISTS STILL ENFORCE TIE
BEER BOFCOTT.

| BERLIN, Aug. 12-The struggle between the
Socialist boycotters and the ring brewers does
not grow less. Although both parties have suf
| fered enough TO welcome the end neither one
thinks Of yielding point. The roriuerts
which leads the fight for the Socialists with
! daily columns of exhortation Of friends and de-
nunciation OF enemies, says that the list Of boy
! cotted houses carries now some 1000 names.
! Many Of these houses, however. are small back
| yard saloons, whose business interests are
| hardly worth considering.
| The big Berlin saloon keepers still refuse 10
| let the boycotters use their assembly halls.
! The loss to the landlords on this account is
| heavy, although part Of II il covered with sub
st1es from the Landlords Association. The
lack of proper rooms for their anti-ring rallies
has caused the Socialists much Inconvenience.
and undoubtedly has kept their plan OF cam
| paign within reasonable bounds. They threaten
| the hall owners with severe penalties as soon as
| the main struggle with the brewers shall cease.
Many owners are receiving mcnacing letters
warning them that they will be forced ont OF
business IL they do not come over to the Social
| Democratic side.

which are sent south in consequence Of the beer
war here, and promising support In case the re-
ftisal of such orders should involve the southern
producers in the boycott. The South Germans,
however. ignored the letter. The northern
brewers feel very on this point and accuse
their southern colleagues Of Willingness to
bolster the social Democracy ~ long as there is
money IN II.
The Social Democrats also feel that they have

and sometimes impossible, to make long jour
