Report Made to Brewers Association
In Detroit.

barrel war revenue tax on beer was
the subject of considerable adverse
discussion in the first days session of
the thirtyninth annual convention of
the United States Brewers association.
1t appeared from the report of the
board of trustees that the trade has
been somewhat demoraliZed by the fact
that some brewers add the entire tax
to the price of their beer, while others
add only a fraction of the tax
The report of the publication COM
mittee asserted that the army canteen
had accomplished more for the morals
and discipline of the army than all
other agencies combined, and it was
added that. Bishop Potter expressed an
universal conviction when he charac-
terized prohibitionists as a band of
ignorant. hypocritical, irresponsible
and mendacious men. The annual re-
port of the vigilance committee recon-
mended:
Prohibition continues to decline
very rapidly; the number of its advo-
Gates grows smaller every year: the
arguments in it's favor have assumed
degree of puerility which almost pre-
