Two weeks after the voters Of
Michigan decided that the saloon
was to be driven from the state.
Detroit brewers have come TO the
conclusion that they must make
sharp increases in the prices OF their
products.
To those VINO have followed the
liquor battle, the action is construed
solely as an effort TO get ali YOU

The majority OF the Detroit brewers
sent out letters 30 saloonkeepere.
b Saturday, notifying them OF the
boost in prices The letters were
received Monday morning and
aroused a storm Of comment among
the grog-shop men.
That the rise in the price OF beer
is not the action of an individual
brewer, is indicated by the fact that
several companies. including Strohs
and Kings. have sent out form let
ters that are identical.
First they state that there has
been an increase In the price OF malt
which ranges from S5 TO 80 per
cent Coal. they say has increased

said.
Therefore the brewers declare
they must boost the figure on keg

additional proviso is made hat the
brewers viii risk no chance OF los

that full case OF "emptos" be

ton is made for the missing bottles
The cost OF tabor IS also named
as one OF the contributory causes.

Saloonkeepers agreed Monday that
