BREWERS TRYING
TO AVOID TRIAL
OF TEXAS CASE
Accused of Unlawful Politi-
cal Activities and of Viola
tion of Anti trust Laws of
State.

Austin, Texas, Jan. 19.-Although
the cases OF the state of Texas against
the six leading brewing companies for
alleged unlawful political activities and
violations of the antitrust laws. are
docketed for trial at Sulphur next
Monday, 1t is said now to be pretty
we'll assured that there will be no trial.
Negotiations for a settlement of the
cases out of court have been in pro-
gress for some time.
1t Is stated that the officers of the
brewing companies, as well as certain
men of more or less political promin-
ence in Texas, are very anxious that
there be no public trial of the cases.
While considerable testimony and evi-
dence of a sensational character are
already in the hands OF the attorney
general as a result OF the preliminary
examinations OF witnesses, 1t is known
that there is much other documentary
material and oral testimony ready to
be produced in court.
The six defendant companies we're
sued for penalties aggregating many
million dollars. 1t is expected that the
suit whether It is brought to trial or
settled out of court, will have an i'm
portant bearing on future prohibition
campaigns in Texas. settlement OF
the suit probably would provide for per-
manent injunctions to restrain the
brewing companies from further parti-
cipation in political affairs.
