RIG BREwERY FIGHT.
Litigation Involving Immense Inter
esis in The Courts.

)
Chicago Aug. 4.-Every brewery com
bination in the United States is vitality
affected by suits institutedin the Unit
sd states court involving the Star
Brewery Company and the United
Breweries Company Of this city.
The Aforementioned concern, with
gigantic plant located in Fulton street,
has been held like a fort with barricades
of ali sorts for four ays with an army
X defenders thirty strong. Only yester-
idaY were the besieged men obliged to
iyield when Judge jenkins Of the United
States circuit court, sitting in Milwau-5
3kee, granted a temporary injunction to
1.-The United Breweries Company re-
Estraining the Star Brewery Company
and Patrick II. Rice who controls 1t,
from interfering with the production OF
beer and other business transactions.
The contest is one of greater import
lance than even the noted glucose case.
THE Star Brewery Company, which Is
directly involved, is not go rich an in
Incorporation, but the effect Of the legal
proceedings now pending and to which
/ ATTORNEY Arthur j. Eddy will make an
swer, acting for 2. H. Rice, has greater
scope and extends to the ffty-fiye brew
4eries of Chicago and every brewery
combination existent here as Well as
lthruout the entire country.
Rice's contention is that the combina-
4 lion represented by the United States
I5Breweriess Company is Illegal, and when
lhes sold toit the transfer of title was not
lvalid,. and that he therefore has a per-
feet right TO withdraw and return what
he received in lieu of the trade.
The recent horizontal advance in the
.Srt,..- {. i,,t GO tx r, SS
i bafrel and the consequent cessation Of
ihos,iiities on the part of brewers will all
4 be made part of the suit, and much
Light shed upon the inner workings of
1.-THE controlling company, SO those acting
8lsiu behalf of the defense assert.
3! The legality of the organizat alton OF the
sETnited BreWeries Company and also the
aEsiagaiity of the Brewers Association, of
#Ewiiich the United Breweries Company il
i said 10 bt. member, will be violently
/ |sattacked. All in ALL the case is said to
d present many features similar to the
q glucose case, wherein the supreme court
iheld the glucose sugar refinery company
i to be an Illegal combination.
3 The large brewing concerns directly
4 affected by being under control Of the
ITnited Breweries Company are: Blue
Island brewery Chicago brewery, Citi-
Izens brewery, Corper brewery, HEM =
EGabler brewery, Monarch brewery,
Northwestern brewery, Rueehl brewery,
4 sieben brewery, South Chicago brew
cry. Star brewer, United Breweries
! iCompany with two branches.
From the foregoing 1t can readily b
seen that thirteen plants where beer II
! produced are directly affected, while
! the standing of all others in and out Of
: the city is concerned. because blow l,
$ aimed at the legality Of all combina.
. tions by which they are controlled.
