the price of the supply they have on
hand
The manufacture of distilled spirits
centers in Indiana. Illinois and Ken
lucky Therefore whatever CONNER
cial or Industrial effect the new law
will have Will be felt first in these
three states For one thing, grain
dealers who heretofore have supplied
the distilleries in these three states
will have to find a new market for
their grain.
AS there IS an unprec edented de-
mandf both az home and abroad for
the grain that goes into the manu-
facture OF distilled spirits, no serious
problem will rise out of this shift
ing of markets
The distillerS in these three states,
according TO the internal revenue
bureau, have on hand immense sup
plies of alcoholic liquors The treas
ury view Is chat, as far as mere
money is concerned, the new leEis-
lation will be benefit to the distil-
lers. They will profit handsomely by
the increase IN price which they Will
put on the product they have in
storage, and II is understood that they
nave th ia iit tit ES 4bdilNitiFS W Plu
corn. which they will Immediately put
on the market at high price.
President May Commander.
The new law authorizes the presi
dent to commander any and all dis
titled spirits in bond or in stock for
such Redistribution as may be neces-
sary to meet the requirements OF the
government in the manufacture of
munitions and other military and hos
pital supplies. The law says that the
government shall pay a Just COM
pensation for the distilled spirits SO
Communicated, and If there is a dis
agreement as to the amount to be
paid, the government will pay 10 per
rent of the price il fixes and let the
courts decide what the price shall be.
At this time the authorities are not
prepared TO say how soon ii will be
necessary for the president to COM
mandeer distilled spirits In any
event the government VIII have the
first call for the stock on hand. If
the internal revenue bureaus esti-
mates are correct the distilleries will
not only be able to continue To sup
ply the wholesale liquor houses.
which means that the saloons will
also be supplied, but will be in a posi-
ton to turn over to the goVernmen
any quantities of distilled spirits that
may be needed for war purposes.
The new law. in addition TO clos
ing the distilleries. prohibits the i'm
portation of distilled spirits during
the period OF the war.
The president has the power under
the new legislation to limit the out
put of beer. ale and light wines, or
even to stop their manufacture alto
gether, II he deems such step neces-
sary tn connection with the prosecu-
tion Of the war.

mercial Purposes and Re-
tain Men

Peoria, (Ill) for more than half
century the whiskey- making center of
the United States, has lost It's title of
the still city, at least tor the dura-
ton of the war. On September at
IL p. NJ. the five great dlstiileries To-
Gated there. the largest III the world,
ceased wasting corn and other food
products in the making of whiskey.
The big plants, which have been maxi
ing 90 per cent Of the whiskey in the
country, were closed under the ma
tional food administration law and
under orders from Washington to Ed
ward d. McCabe. internal revenue col
hector that all tubs In the distillery
must be empty OF beer" as the
whiskey brew is called. by the hour

AT that time Clarke Brothers and
company. Woolner's and the Corning
Dfstilling companies closed down,
Clarke Brothers announcing that they
would liquidate their business. The
Great Western Distillery will CON
tinue TO operate at a fraction Of its
normal capacity, while the Atlas Dis
tillery will continue as il is not at
present producing beverage liquors
These two last named will continue
to grind corn for SPIRITS TO be used for
commercial purposes. Reports that
the plants will be converted into GER
cal mills are denied by distillery man
ayers.
One great cry that has been going
up all these years IS that prohibition
turns loose large force of work
men who cannot find jobs. However,
according 10 advices from Peoria,
there is plenty OF work there for
those forced out of Job by the
Closing OF the distilleries. There ts a
total Of i.275 men employed in the FIVE
fistilerfes, and in the case or the
Great Western and Atlas most OF the
575 men employed will be continued IN
their present employment except that

$4,000 bushels OF corn. most of which
will now be available for food for
man and beast. With the legislation
that had been passed by this pres
ent congress and the prospect OF the
passage Of the food administration
bill, these distillers, who saw the hand
writing on the wall turned their plants
over TO abnormal manufacture of
whiskey In the last few months Their
total production for the fiscal year

gallons of whiskey.

Consumes Much Grain.

WhIIe thls legislation affecting the
manufacture OF distilled spirits had
the hearty support OF the temperance
advocates In the congress, the main
object sought by the author Of the
legislation was the conservation OF
the food and feed supply of the coun-
try. The federal food administration
estimates that this saving will amount
to $4,000, coo bushels OF grain a year.
the bulk OF which will be corn. AS
far as anybody can foresee at this
time the closing of the distilleries will
not affect the supply OF alcoholic liq-
uors for year or two, anyhow.
