BREWERS TO SUE
WEST VIRGINIA.

Charleston, Feb. 1.-The brewery
interests of the state have employed
counsel to file suit against the state
of West Virginia for damages
aggregating hundreds of thousands
of dollars for the loss Of their proper
ty for the year since the prohibition
laws have put them out Of businss.
The brewery interests have a.
bandoned their efforts to pass bill
in the legislature to have the state
reimburse them to the extent Of $500
900 for the lost profit.
Suits will be based on the allega-
ton that the Yost prohibition law
puts the breweries out of business
when the state authorised them in
their charters to continue business
The brewers, it is said, continue to
take back their kegs and cases, carry
ing on that portion of their business
that is, not in violation of the Yost
law, in order to make their case as
strong as possible.

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
BILLS GALORE OFFERED.
Half Dozen at Least Before Legis-
lature for Consideration.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Jan. 28.---
State inspection of weights and meas
ures is the subject Of at least half
dozen bills pending before the legis-
lature having as their general scheme
the carrying out Of recommendations
of Gov. Hatfield upon the subject.
One Of the particularly strong bills
has been offered by Senator Robert
Gregory, of Wood county, in Senate
Bill No. 81 It gives to the commits
sioner of labor the control of the en-
forcement Of the law with power to
name such deputies as he may deem
necessary.
The bill provides for the appoint
ment of the county court in each
county of an inspector of weights and
measures, and like officer in each
city over population of $4,000, with
salary of not less than $1,000 an
nually, for term of four years. The
bill provides for inspection twice a
year, and temporary employment Of
assistants. No fees for inspection
may be charged
A strong feature of the bill is that
package goods must be weighed to
see that the weight is not misrepre-
sented, while bread must also be sold
by weight.
The bill regulates the sale Of cleo
and butter by weight or in case of
"brick' commodities of that kind
that the correct weight be printed
upon the wrapper. Milk bottles are
strirgently regulated with provision
for a designating number to be blown
into the bottle by the manufacturer.
Violation, even by non-residents
means a fine of $500 under the milk
bottle section.
Standard sizes and weights for
vegetables and fruits are set forth in
the bill with specially strict regula-
tions for berries, making it even an
offense to have berry baskets to sell
or give away that are not standard.
The penalty is fine of from $50 to
5000 on first conviction or net more
than three months in Jail and on sec
ond conviction a fine Of from $50 to
$500 and not more than one year in
jail.

been blown away"
The President continued: "There is
no longer any suspicion of business
merely because it is big. Bond hav-
ing been given by the big fellows in
business that they will keep the peace

Nobody need think because he is

GREEKS GET READY
TO ENTER BIG WAR.

PIT. PLEASANT, w. Va, Jan. 20.
The Greeks of West Virginia are
preparing to go to war.
Military companies are being or
ganized in a number Of towns
throughout the State.
Capt CoIoras, Of Garksburg, is
in charge of the companies.
The organization Of the Greeks has
been in progress in this country ever
since hostilities were declared in
Europe and several of the larger
towns in West Virginia now have
Greek military companies.
That the Greeks will undoubtedly
be in the fight and will join the allied
armies soon seems certain, according
to information given out by D. J.
Comuntzis, of Parkersburg.
"In the United States the Greeks
have an available army of 10000
men, who are ready to go to the front
and defend their country at the first
call of arms Greece will call on all
of her men between 18 and 81 years."
said Comuntzis.
In order not to interfere with the
neutrality of the United States, the
Greeks in this country will be mobil-
lied in Canada should they BE- called
on to fight.
Nearly all Of the military leaders
at the head Of the companies in this
country have seen service in The

Credits Amendment Proposed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. GA farm
credits bill. providing for government
loans to farm owners, was attached
to the agricultural appropriation
bill today in its hurried passage
through the senate Presented by
Senator McCumber as an amendment,
the provision was incorporated In the
supply bill without a record vote at
a time when but few members were
in the chamber. The bill itself was
passed a short time later.
The MCCumber amendment would
create a bureau of farm credits in
the treasury department to make
loans Of government funds through
national banks on farm mortgage
notes These loans would run for ten
years at five per cent interest and
would be not less than three hun
dred nor more than ten thousand
dollars to individuals. Issue or
United States 2l-year four and one
half per cent bonds to establish u
permanent fund of $l0,000,0OO to
cover sudh loans would be authorized

burs total from $23,0OO,OOO to about
! thirty-slx million dollars.

Senator Hollis Of New Hampshire
! made point or Order against lne
rural credits amendment, but with
| drew it with the understanding that

conference between the house and
the senate. There an effort will be
/ made TO shape II into rural credits
plan acceptable to the house and to
the president
The senate also incorporated In the
agricultural bill an amendment APP
propriaung three million dollars for
the use of the forest service in the
Appalachian forest reserves.
After further conference tonight
IL was said that the only change

was to substitute for independence
the words self government"
"It Is purely "a question of letting
the hill with all its beneficial pro-
visions fail" said Senator simmons
"or changing the preamble to meet
objections Of few senator's We have
plenty of votes TO pass the bill as II
is. but 1t would be impossible to dc
it In the time that could be given
