t1sssEs WI lsSgESas , ri of the brewery
GssAH17 workers union is in
Los Angeles He reports that the
struggle for better conditions for men
in his craft is progressing favorably. He
states that the State brewers associa-
tion has refused to supply the Newman n
brewery of Napa with malt because
Napa beer has been sent into the
southern city. Further, Muri asserts
that the State brewers association
threatens to flood the entire Napa val
ley with outside beer and ruin New
mans trade. The labor unionists of
Los Angeles are calling for the New
man beer, hence the action of the State
brewers association.
The labor organizat tions throughout
the state will be asked to take this
matter up and protect the Newman
beer. The matter will probably be
brought before the building trades
council tonight and the labor council
tomorrow night.
All contracts have been signed for
three years in the brewery business in
Sacramento. The San Francisco wage
scale prevails in the capital city.
