INCREASE OF BEER DRINKING
Four-Flfths Of the 100000 Barrels
Consumed Yearly Is In Cities
How Distributed.

Practically all the alcohol sold as a
drink on this continent is in two main
forms-distilled liquors and beer. The
fact that the consumption of the latter
averages Fl gallons per head for the
population of the United States as a
whole may seem somewhat startling
yet this is truly the case. For the
last so years the per capita consump-
ton Of distilled liquors has been about
stationary. The whisky business sells,
as 1t did 40 and so years ago, a little
less than three quarts of pure alcohol
yearly for each person In the United
States.
In the same period the sale of al
cohol in beer has grown from practic-
ally nothing to quantity greater
than is sold in distilled liquor. In
1860 the sale of beer in the United
States was 1922 gallons a head; in
1908 it was 21 gallons-two-thirds of a
barrel The alcohol sold in this form
was little less than a pint a head in
1860; in 1908 II was a little more than
three quarts Since 1850 the volume
of this remarkable new industry has
Increased so times; II is IS times
larger than II was in 1860. This
growth of the American beer trade
has constituted one of the wonders of
the liquor business-commented on in
trade circles all over the world.
The capital invested in 1t is over
ten times that invested in distilleries.
and the value of its produce ~ times
as great.
But the demand for this drink is
not evenly distributed across the
country. 1t is limited very largely to
about a quarter of the population
the residents Of cities. Four-ffths of
the 55,000,000 barrels of beer made in
the United States is consumed in
cities, and at least three-fourths of 1t
by the population of cities them
selves. The brewing trade statistics
show that every man, woman and
child in cities of over $4,000 can safe
ly be credited with drinking a barrel
and two-thirds of beer a year. Largely
by this means the population of Amer
lean cities drinks at least IL quarts
OF pure alcohol a head every year,
while the population of the rural dis
tricts drinks a little over four quarts
a head. In view Of these facts the
liquor problem in America-and every
one seems to concede there is one
is obviously in the city. and almost
as obviously the brewery trade is
connected with IL.

RAILROADS BAR THE SALOON
Argument for Abstinence Advanced by
Big Corporations as a Condition
Of Employment.

Further progress in the new tenn
perance movement in which corpora
lions are arrayed against the saloon is
evidenced by the rule in the mills of
the steel trust forbidding employees
to leave their work to get a drink.
This regulation. affecting as II does
many thousands of workmen. is cal.
culated to do more for practical tenn
perance than any amount of per-
suasion.
Many OF the railroads also enforce
sobriety In employees. Under the new
system OF discipline on the Burling-
ton road drunkenness in an operating
employe is cause for dismissal with
out appeal. The Northern Pacific pro-
hibits the use of liquor by trainmen
either on or of duty. Employees of
the New York Central. the Pennsyl-
vania and the New Haven who drink,
do so at the risk of discharge. The
Chicago & Eastern Illinois forbids
trainmen to frequent saloons. and the
Missouri, Kansas g. Texas has only
recently issued an order making the
cashing of an employees pay check
by a saloonkeeper evidence warrant
ing dismissal.
The attitude OF the corporations
toward liquor has become an impor-
tant factor in a practical movement
the progress of which within five years
has been one OF the notable reforms
Of the time. The appeal is no longer
to the self-respect but to the pocket.
The argument for abstinence is ad-
vanced not as a theory but as a con-
dition of employment
The extent to which corporations
and other large employers of labor
have become instrumentalities of a
general moral uplift is one of the re-
markable developments of modern
business life. The order of the West
ern Electric Company requiring en-
ployes to abstain from gambling,
drinking and immortality is not the
only example of this exercise by a
corporation of censorship over the
conduct Of employees.

This is the first representation OF

BIG ROW IN PINcHoT QUIZ
Chairman Nelson Accuses CLAWS At
torney Of Misleading Committee
Jones Called Falsifier.

Washington.-There was lively
row at the Ballinger.Pinchot congress
sional inquiry Friday.
Testimony for Secretary Ballinger
was begun, and It soon developed a
clash between Chairman Nelson of the
committee and Attorney Brandeis,
counsel for l.. r. CLAWS. The chair
man accused Mr.. Brandeis of conceal
ing certain evidence and trying to
mislead the committee. Brandeis re-
scented the charge and demanded a
withdrawal, which was refused.
Democratic members of the commit
tee took the side of Brandeis in urg-
ing withdrawal. but Nelson was OBJ
durate. and finally the record was al
lowed to stand.
Elmer f. Todd. United States dis
trict attorney at Seattle. Wash. when
called, contradicted certain state
ments made by Special Agent II. l..
Jones when he was testifying for
Louis X. CLAWS.
The witness declared that Jones
statement that he had advised against
criminal action in the Alaska cases
because Judge Hanford was consti-
tutionally opposed to land fraud trials
generally" was absolutely false.
The cross-examination OF the wit
ness as to letter CLAWS had written
to the department at Washington
urging criminal prosecution in certain
cases soon led the committee into
quarrel and brought out anew the
strength of the partisan feeling which
has grown up.

which led supreme court Justice yes

him for $36, 1000. Gabriel had been in
the employ of the concern for ten years,
and such confidence was reposed in him
that no examipatio of his books had
been made in several years. According
10 his employers 1t was discovered soon
after he fell Ill that he had filled IN
several checks for amounts greater
than were Indicated by the stubs or by
