saloons and BreWerIeS.-Ine anti
saloon fight has been making ire
mendous Roadway in recent years,
and it is quite generally believed we
will soon have national fight for and
against prohibition.
The chief beneficiaries of all of the
saloon evils-the men who get the
hog end of the saloon profit-haven't
come in for their share of the pound
ing. l refer to the brewers,
Most of the brewers are rich,
prominent and eminently respectable.
Most of the saloonkeepers are little
more than hired clerks for the brew
ers. III. .....
Many saloonkeepers are set up in
business by brewers, who own the
leases and bar fixtures, control the
licenses and have the saloonkeepers
at their mercy. :. .es..-.... ~.
They can fix the price the saloon
keeper must pay for his beer; they
can compel him to sell no beer but
particular brand; and through their
organization they can put any saloon
keeper out of business who gets in a
row with the brewery that owns him.
The saloonkeepers don't advertise;
hence they have no standing in the
newspapers. The brewers do adver-
tise; and they do have standing with
the papers. They also have high so
cial standing, because of their wealth.
Yet any brewer who is selling beer
to a vice resort, and controls the lease
or owns the building or furniture, is
a business partner of the Keeper of
the resort.
Not many saloonkeepers. get rich.
The rich ones are the exception, not
the rule. Rich brewers are the rule,
not the exception. They play cinch
game. ...
They permit the unionization of
their employees, and then call on I'M
ion labor to help them vote wet Then

But much of that degeneration is due
to the greed Of the brewers, and the
fact that small wages (or profts)
drive saloonkeepers to resort to all
possible expedients to rake in few
extra nickels.
The average saloonkeeper may not
know it, but he is a low wage victim
himself-a slave to the brewer. And
nearly every saloon is a political cen
ter from which is played the brewers
political game
And the saloonkeeper has to stand
all the odium of the business.

Homer Il. Bone and M. W..

After the meeting both Bone
and Greer went to Old Town
where they were joined by Kirby.
They found no meeting there so

Bone defeated Greer in the first
game but Greer got back at him
in the second contest. 1t was the

WOODEN WARE
co. IS AGAIN
DAMAGED BY
FLAMES

Fire that has apparently smOl-
dered for two days I'm one section
of the huge dry kilns of the North
western Woodenware company's
plant, 20O1 Dock street, burst into
flame at $40 o'clock this NORM
ing and for three hours stubborn
ly resisted the vigorous efforts of
four fire companies and fifty fire.
men. Loss from the blaze will
not amount to more than SO, 900,
and the kiln structures were prac-
tfcally fireprOof and only the
woodenware contents were de-
, stroyed. Nevertheless, ii was one
of the most difficult and stubborn
fires that Tacoma firemen have
ever been called upon to combat.
The blaze broke out In the
center of the north section of the
new dry kilns. The entire wood
enware plant was only rebuilt re-
Gently, after having been totally
destroyed by fire eight months
ago, and the great kilns were
constructed SO that each section
was separated from the others by
brick walls.
When firemen arrived, there
were 25 cars of woodenware prod
ucts in the kiln, and the center
of it raging furnace of flame.
When the doors of the kiln were
opened, great pillows of smoke
poured out, and firemen stag
gered back, almost overcome.
Workmen proceeded to pull out
car after car of woodenware,
dumping them into the city chan
mel, while dozen streams of wa
ter were focused on the center of
the kiln.
The fire was caused by an
overhead in the kiln, the tempera-
ture having been 240 degrees, 1t
Is said. Workmen declared that
lumber and woodenware in the
kiln was SO badly scorched, even
at a great distance from the fire,
that they believed the blaze had
smoldered for at least As hours.
The Woodenware company has
suffered four serious fires since
1t was started, the recent ones be-
ing a small blaze which ram
aged the kilns three weeks ago,
and disastrous fire running 1t
last year.
