Brewers in Con-
ventiOn at Boston.

Boston. Sept l9.-The sd annual
convention of the United States Brew
ers Association was opened in this
city, today. About 100 brewers from
all parts of the country were present
when President Jacob Rupert. Jrl
of New York called the meeting to or
der.
After greetings had been received
from state and city officials the con
vention heard the annual addresses
and reports In his address President
Rupert said:
Gentlemen; | trust you all, as
brewers, feel within you the same
grateful conviction which | feel, that
we are the main stay of rational and
practical temperance.
President Rupert sketched briefly
the political and commercial changes
OF the SO years since the first Boston
convention. In that time, he said,
Massaehuso It's has defeated prohibit
ton; Vermont, New Hampshire and
Rhode Island have repudiated It, and
Maine mas failed only by a few hun
dred votes to repeal the prohibitory
law. In 1874 the total output of the
United States was 5000, 1897 barrels OF
beer. In 1892 it had grown to 31,S17 ,S3G
barrels and last year was in excess
of GO, 600 900, Between 1870 and 1910 the
population increased 300 per cent
while the consumption of beer inereas-
cd 700 per cent.
Continuing, President RUPERT said
Never before, have the elements
conspired against us as in the pass
fiscal year. Barley. hops. rice and corr
have all commanded famine prices
The cost of labor has increased 10 pen
cent. Altogether, the cost of producing
beer has increased fully 81 per barrel
which is a good deal more than the
average net profit under normal con
d!tions"
The labor question was referred to il
the annual report of the trustees
who said
Experience emphasizes the ned oil
national brewery trade agreement
and i national brewery arbitration
board which would Jointly represent
employers and employees. We regret
that the effort to provide adequately
and fairly for compensation of in
jured Workmen, and for an old age
pension fund, was voted down by the
Brewery Workers Union"
The convention will complete its bus
mess, tomorrow.

supposed collector of police graft,
was again the subject of inquiry, to-
day, at the resumption of the alder

rial and that he had nothing to do
with departmental affairs other than

Former Sheriff Nicholas J. Hayes,
who informed Alfred G. Johnson, ac-
cording to the latter's testimony, that
Norton maintained a branch office for
the collection of graft at 115 Broad :

Congress and the country for the first

that the administration proposes to do
With this accomplished the people may
then judge for themselves whether the
proposals sent to Congress are in the
interest of public welfare, and as such
should be supported.
1.-THE further recommendation which
have made is this That in the prepare
ton of data for the budget you and the
head of every other department shall
clearly indicate what changes in law are
thought to be desirable as a means of
Increasing the economy and efficiency of
the service What is desired is open
handed dealing between the Congress
and the executive departments. and IN
this the public should be taken into con-
fidence through the broadcast publicity
that may ensue.
Under the constitution the President
Is entrusted with the executive power,
and is responsible for the acts of heads
of departments and their subordinates
as his agents, and he can use them to
assist him in his constitutional duties,
one of which is to recommend measures
to Congress and to advise it as to the
existing conditions, and their betterment.
IF Congress is permitted to assume
exclusive jurisdiction over what the
President may seek to learn about the
business transacted by the department.;
If Congress is to say that the President
shall not find out what IS the present
manner of doing business. what results
are being obtained what ii is that Off
GERS for whom he is responsible propose
10 do, and what amounts are being asked
for future expenditure; If heads of de-
partments are to be considered purely
as the ministerial agents of Congress
in the preparation and submission of es-
Inmates, then as far as the business of
the government is concerned, the Presi-
dent of the United States is shorn of Il
most important executive power and
duty"
