Hermann declared that the present
supply of whiskey-about 200, ,00O,0
gallons-would not last more than a
year, at normal rate of consumption.
He predicted that two thousand sa-
loon keepers in Chicago would be
forced out Of business within sixty
days and that a proportionate number
throughout the country would like
wise close their places. He believes
the senate's action in prohibiting the
use of foodstuffs for manufacturing
whiskey, besides ordering thes seizure
of all whiskey in bond, will become
law within two weeks.
Hermann denied that the same law
which permits retention of whiskey
mot in bond" has caused a specula,
tive interest among the trade.
