JAGS Will Be CHEAP.
Rumors That the Price Of Beer
Will Be Reduced One
Fifth.
A Strong Effort to Be Made by the
Brewers Association to Cripple
the Union.

If the rumor which is being circulated
among local brewerymen Is true on and
after the 1st day of January jags will be
so cheap that it will not be worth the
trouble to buy one in fact beer will be
cheap enough to wash in, and al because
the strong fight the Brewery WoIkmen's
Union is making 10 Introduce the union
label.
About six months ago label was
adopted by the union and all breweries
employing union workmen were gwen a
good supply of them, and organized labor
generally was instructed to look out for
the label and demand it.
Furthermore, a committee was appoint
ed TO interview the most prominent sa-
loon keepers and request them 10 handle
only the labeled product. Many of them
did so at once, while others waited until
a few demands toT union beer, which they
could not supply. resulted IN tie loss
of good customers, and then made The
change.
Now, the non-union brewers are all
mem Ders of an association and are pledged
20 fight unicnism III in any shape, and when
last week two of their best customers
ilintV hands with the union basty meet
ing was called to lay out a plan of ca M
palgn.
Just what this scheme is is not definitely
known, but Secretary Walters OF the Brew
ers' Union reported at last nights meet
ing of the Labo Council that he has been
relia blv informed that on the Isl of Janu-
ary, 1898 the price of steam beer will be
reduced 10 81 per keg, and will be further
reduced, II necessary, to break up the
union and fo:ce other brewerles TO dis
charge their union help. The present
price OF steam beer is 50 Der keg.
The union is neither surprised nor
alarmed at this move, as in the first place,
the mem bers say, union men will prefer
paying a higher price for union beer, and
even il they 90 not the local union has q
large fund set aside for just such an emer-
VeBcy which it will not hesitate to use
freely.
Letters will be sent out by the secretary
OF the Labor Council to affiliated unions
warning mem bers 10 keep a sharp lookout
for union beer.
