WHAT IS whisky"
QUESTION Up AGAIN
Government Wants TO Know
How TO Classify Liquor
Under Pure Food Act
TESTIMONY TAKEN
IN PHILADELPHIA

Fifteen Philadelphia distillers and
refners Of spirits told E. Waring
Wilson, attorney, who Is represent
ing the Attorney General Of the
United States. their definition of the
query. What is whfsky%
A hearing was held in the Belle
vue-Stratford yesterday TO take tes-
timony and record opinions. Hear
ings arc to be held in at least TWEEN
ty-five cities throughout the country,
that all the distillers may have
chance to be represented. On Thurs
day a hearing will be conducted in
Boston.
The question is about ten years
old. Leading chemists OF the world
have been employed to solve the
question Shortly after the passage
Of the pure food act Of June 80, 1906,
which forbade the introduction into
interstate and foreign commerce of
adulterated or misbranded drugs or
articles OF food, a controversy arose
as to whether the branding OF GER
tain liquors with the name whisky"
was a misbranding within the act.
In April, 1907, President Roosevelt
directed that regulations be issued
by the officials in charge of the exc
cution of the pure food and internal
revenue hws which in effect denied
the use OF the brand whisky" to any
distilled liquor except that known
to the trade as straight" whisky.
President Roosevelt's decision Gre
ated such a furore among distillers
throughout the country that President
Taft, after he had been elected to the
White House. granted a rehearing. Al
that time President Taft declared that
whisky" should be used only in the
case OF distillates OF grain. He de-
MED that the name should be en-
ployed in the distillates Of cane mo-
lasses.
Suit was then commenced in the
United States Courts by certain dis
tillers and rectifers interested in the
production and sale Of molasses
spirits to enjoin the enforcement of
regulations based upon President
Taft's decision.
Attorney Wilson, in discussing the
hearing in Philadelphia. said that
after all the opinions have been taken
a final court decision upon the ques-
ton will be obtained He said a
somewhat similar question was raised
In England several years ago. At that
time a royal commission was appoint
I'd TO investigate and report TO Parlia-
nent.
"The government states that all mo-
lasses whisky, and whisky not made
from grain. is not to be sold under
he label whisky" Mr.. Wilson said.
II would be all right if the distillers
and dealers branded the connection
whisky compound or some other
name OF like character But. ac-
cording to President Taft's ruling,
straight whisky is a grain product, so
there you are"
