WHO OWNS "BUDWEIsER?'
Suit at Milwaukee That Is to Decide Tbs
Beer Question.

Milwaukee, May 21.-An important
suit, of interest to the brewers of the
United States, was commenced in the
United States court yesterday. Tife
suit was brought by the Anheuser-
Busch Brewing company, of St Louis,
against the Fred Miller Brewing COM
pany. of Milwaukee, over the right to
use the word "Budweiser" When 1t is
concluded it will have settled several
questions CT the greatest interest to
brewers. The case is looked tpon as
being one of the most important to be
decided in years.
The Milwaukee brewery in question
formerly handled the product of the
st. Louis concern, according to the
pleading. but in 1892 began the manu-
facture of the beer at the brewery in
this city. The St. Louis company sues
to restrain alleged unfair competition
and for the infringement of its labels.
The Milwaukee company asserts that
there is nc such process technically. as
the Budweiser process ard that it is a
mere name.
