Internal revenue officers are worki6g
in Detroit looking up viointors OF the
federal laws. The principal com
plant Is that saloonkeepers have
sold beer To their patrons in kegs.
This infringes on the wholesale bust
ness and cannot be done without a
separate federal license. In some
case complaints may be made where
beer kegs were found without the
license stamps properly affixed. There
is also investigation OF complaints
that cigar boxes have been used twics
without restamping. No criminal
prosecution is likely. the practice be-
ing to settle all such cases by the
payment OF n penalty to the internal
revenue office.
