NO BEER IS MADE
st. Louis Brewery Closes to Help
City.
Water Famine Puts Thousands
Out Of Work.

st. Louis, Jan. lost. Louis water
famine has assumed a more serious
aspect by the announcement of August
A Busch, vice president of the An
heuser- Busch Brewing association
that the immense plant will be shut
down until the city's water supply is
increased. Not a bottle of beer will
be manufactured.
In their efforts to aid the city of
ficials in saving water the brewery
will throw out of employment a large
per centage of their 5000 employees.
Thousands are now temporarily out
of work, a score of laundries have
ceased operations, tie-up of street
car traffic is threatened and the city's
gas supply is menaced by the water
famine which has resulted from the
clogging of intake wells by floating
ice in the Mississippi river.
Three Pumps Are Working.
Only three of the six giant pump
ing engines are working and these are
supplying only rs million gallons
day, while 100 million gallons are be-
ing used.
Hotels, apartment houses. and thou
sands of residences in all portions of
Tie city are hS0uiy 10SnnS the Ql1n1n-
mutton Of the water supply.
Conditions are made worse by the ex-
ceptionally low stage of the river due
to an ice gorge above the mouth of the
Illinois near Grafton, Ill Fire Chief
Swingley admitted late last night that
his department would be helpless if
called upon to fight a large fire.
Police Urge Water Economy.
Chief of Police Young issued an order
today for every patrolman to visit each
residence and business place and notify
all persons to be economical with
water.
As the day advanced the pressure
improved but water department Off
Gals said the situation was still criti-
cal and that the danger Of famine had
not passed. Everything depends on the
success of effort to keep the intake
tunnel clear of ice and on the stage of
the water in the river. A gorge at
Grafton, Ills, has lowered the Missis-
sippi level SO that there is only enough
water to keep two of the six pumps
busy.

a H0ld-Up
An Oppressive Trust.

Before the Coffee Roasters' Association, in ses-
sion at Chicago on Thursday, Thomas J. Webb
of Chicago charged that there is in existence a
coffee combine which is ''the most monstrous inn
position in the history of human commerce"
There is very slight exaggeration about this
statement It comes very close to being literally
true There is a coffee combine in Brazil, from
which country comes the bulk of the coffee used
In the United States, which is backed by the gov
eminent of BRAID and financed by it, which COM
pes American Consumers, as Mr.. Webb said, ito
pay famine prices for coffee when no famine
exists -
The worst thing about this is that the consum-
ers of the United States have been compelled to
put up the money through which this combine,
to further cnch them, has been made effective.
There were formerly revenue duties imposed upon
all coffee entering the United States Those taxes
were denounced imposition upon the people;
as taxing the poor mans breakfast table, and the
like. The taxes were removed Immediately
thereafter Brazil imposed export duty upOnI
coffee up to the full amount of the former customs
taxes in this country. The revenue which for
merly went into the treasury of the United States
was diverted to the treasury of Brazil. The poor
mans breakfast coffee continued to cost him the
same old price.
But this was only the commencement. The
'.valorization' plan was evolved in Brazil.
Through this plan the government, using the rev.
enues derived from the export duties for the pur-
poses, takes all Of the surplus crop in season Of
large yields and holds it off the market, thus
keeping the supply down to the demands of the
market and permitting the planters to receive a
much higher price than they would otherwise
have DONE
The United States consumes more Brazilian cof-
fee than does the rest of the world. We are the
best customers of Brazil and Brazil buys little
from US Now Brazil Is promoting, financing and
maintaining trust designed and working effect
lively for the purpose, to compel American con-
sumers to pay exorbitant price for the coffee
they use What is the remedy?-Seattzs Post-In-

The fight over the lumber rates had
been the most exhaustive. The COM
missions rates eradicated substantially
all the increase in rates, proposed by
railroads, from the northwest in 1908
After long consideration of the at
tack upon the commissions ORDER
Justice Lamar concluded that the
court could not say the order was
made because of the effect of the ad-
vances on the lumber industry, as sug-
gested by the railroads, nor that there
was any evidence to support the COM

that railroad dividends were not to be
a sole basis for judging the reason
ableness of rates, but that conditions
as a whole were to be taken into con-
