DISPUTE OF BREWERS
MAKES BEER CHEAP
Local Price Is Reduced From
SO to 81

Washington brewers have fallen out
and local saIooukeepers are prohting
by the grievances which disrupted the
combination OF local breweries and put
he knife into tho established price on
ordinary draught beer. Beer which for
mcrly sold for SO a barrel. with dis
count of 40 per cent. IS now selling for
- a barrel. with a discount OF 10 per
cent. a net reduction Of $50 a barrel.
All five cr the local breweries arc
quoting a price Of 81. with 10 per cent
OF. on ordinary lager beer, and some Of
the brewCries are said to be Offering "a
net price If $3.50 a barrel These prices
are quoted on the standard barrel for
beer. which contains tEirty-two gallons.
Few full barrels o. beer are sold. but
the same price holds on half and quarter
barrels. the sizes commonly used in the
liquor trade
Bottled beer and select grades OF -
beer are not affected materially by the
cutting on the lower class beer. The
beer affected by the war is the sort
which is most generally used in saloons
for draught purposes II is the standard
article i'm the ordinary saloon, and the
slump in its quotations is as acceptable
90 the retail liquor dealer as a fall in
the price on sugar would be 10 the retail
grocer.
The beer war has no effect on the for
eign brcwcrics II does not extend TO
bottled beer and the standard brews ~.
key beer. which continue to sell at inc
rate Of IS a barrel. But little % 4he
cheaper beer has been shipped in,o
Washington by brcweries in St Louis.

we're unable to compete with the prices
offered by local breweries.
Until last July the FIVE local brew
eries-Abner & Drury Brewing Com
pany. National Capital Brewing Com
pany. Arlington Brewing Company,
Washington Brewery Company, and
| Christian Heurich Brewing Company
are said 10 have had an agreement 10
maintain She price on lager beer at 81
/ a barrel. with 10 per cent discount. The
/ brewers also pledged themselves not to
give spisots and signs TO customers.
| The cutting Of prices and other viola
/ tions Of the agreement on the part OF
! some Of the brewers smashed the comb
nation and started the price OF lager
beer on the downward track. The pres
/ ent low figures were not reached. how
/ ever. until q short time ago.
Efforts to effect a settlement Of the
] dissension among the brewers have beer
made repeatedly since last July, but
without success. Within the last few
weeks representatives OF the various 10
! cal breweries have been in consultation
/ and il is rumored. a combination will be
! effected before the opening OF sumner
\ which will restore lager beer to its
! former price.

WOULD MODEL INDIAN
SERVICE AFTER OURS
English Expert Here to Study
American Weather Bureau.
TO ANTICIPATE MONSOONS
Gilbert Walker Regards Local Estab-
lishment and Methods as the
Best in the World.

Gilbert Walker. an English meteorolo-
Kist. who has recently been appointed
director OF the British weather bureau
in the Indian peninsula, is in Washing
ton to study the methods used so sue
cessfully by the American Weather
Bureau. lie viii remain here for sew
sral weeks and then visit the Boston
and Chicago weather stations. Af1er
some further study in France and Ger
many he expects to go 10 his post in
India.
In discussing his future work. Mr..
Walker said:
The Prediction of McnsOons.
The usefulness OF the weather service
in India will depend largely upon its
ability 10 predict the coming OF the
monsoon. In India the crops depend en-
tirely upon these great winds. which
bring with them the necessary rain. II
st is possible to predict TO a dot the
time the monsoons will arrive in the
different districts Of the country,
whether they will arrive at all. and to
what extent they may be expected. the
government can lay its hand upon the
exact spot in which a famine is in
evitably coming. and grasp the oppor-
tunity TO hurry supplies 10 the threat
ened district. This has already been
done 20 a certain extent.
"A good system OF weather stations
is a. present installed in India. but the
methods used are not UP TO date.
American Service Leads.
Those used by the United States are
the finest aud most advanced in the
world. We have nothing TO equal the
United States Weather Bureau in Eng
land nor is there such a system 10 be
found on the Continent The United
States is especially far ahead Of the
English service in the use OF kites and
balloons In India kites and balloons
are not used at all.
THE weather service in India is. and
will be for some time. used principally
by the government. The natives. though
they will be indirectly benefited. are toe
uBeducated and suspicious Of anything
connected with the government to avail
themselves OF the information given bv
the weather bureau. The educated ma
tives go into law. The Indian seems ia
have no business instincts. and as a rule
does not 90 into large commercial indus
tries such as would require a knowledge
OF the atmospheric changes and derive
great benefit therefrOm-
