Grain For Liquor Is
Cut 80 Per Cent. by
u. S.; Beer Is Hit

Washington, Nov 27. - The Food
Administration, with the approval of
the President, has taken action, re-
ducing the alcoholic content of beer
to 3 per cent. and providing that so
per cent. of the grain now used in the
manufacture of malt liquors shall be
saved for food purposes. In doing
this the administration takes n direct
stand against any further prohibition
legislation at this time. Statement
given out by the Food Administration
Publicity Bureau says:
"Those who wish brewing entirely
suppressed should bear in mind that
if such course were pursued the coun-
try would be placed on whisky basis
entirely, and the amount of alcohol
would probably increase.
THE desirability of saving all the
grain used in brewing from the point
of view of conservation is. therefore.
limited by the social question involv-
ed in the exclusive use of whisky"
This statement is issued in the face
of an unexpected drive by the prohi-
bition forces in the Congress to as
semble on Monday to force through a
prohibition bill.
The usual alcoholic content of beer
is from to per cent. for American
brews.

Heatless P. r. 7. Cars
Make People Suffer;
Many of Crews Quit

Philadelphia, Nov. 27.-A pas
senger who had ridden several
squares in an unheated Fourth street
car last night turned to the con-
ductor as he was getting out:
"As a matter of information" the
passenger said, 81 should like to
ask if the Rapid Transit Company
gave the contract for heating it's
cars this winter to the American Ice
Company"
With the temperature below
freezing. thousands of street car pas
sengers suffered yesterday because
the Rapid Transit Company with
held orders to turn on the heat
on the surface cars.
More than 100 conductors and mo-
tormen, it was reported among the
carmen themselves, refused to leave
the car barns in the refrigerator
cars" as they called them. Some Of
them resigned rather than risk ILL
ness through spending a day in the
cars without heat.
But passengers were not so fortu-
nate. They had to ride whether the
cars were cold or not. Some sus-
pected that the transit company was
trying to save coal and didn't mur-
mur. Others sought sympathy from
the conductor and motorman. But
the majority kicked.
