BREWERS OF TENNESSEE
WILL TEST NEW STATUTE

NASHVILLE. Tenn, Dec. 24.-With the
approach of the new year interest has
been renewed in the action of distillers
and brewers when the manufacturers
law passed by the last legislature be-
comes effective.
It is stated that some of the manufac-
turers proposed making a test case of the
law at an early date, but the manner Of
procedure could not be learned.
While a number OF the distillers VIII
cease operation pending whatever litiga-
ton is commenced, all the distiners will
continue their interstate shipments.
The distillery near Tullahoma is the
largest plant Of it's kind in Tennessee af-
fected. Night and day the stock has been
increased until all their bonded ware
houses are taxed to their capacity and
carry many thousand barrels. The Tulla-
homa people say they will temporarily
suspend operations at the distillery. They
have provided against every contingency.
Their present stock will supply the trade
for many years if ii be found necessary
to suspend distilling in the state per-
manently. Besides they have provided a
plant outside of Tennessee, and in event
manufacture is prohibited permanently
in this state they will be prepared to
continue the manufacture in other terri
tory.
Another firm has issued orders that
their distillery at Greenbrier be closed
down January 1 pending further devel-
opments. They have a warehouse at that
place which will continue open. They also
have a warehouse In Nashville, which
they expect to keep open and do an In
terstate business.
One company, according to the state
ment of the manager, will discontinue the
manufacture of beer which they are now
shipping into neighboring states and
operate their plant solely in the manu-
facture of beerette and other soft drinks.
