by the government for some time, and
at one time WIS in danger Of having it's
second class mail privilege taken away.
"The Free Press" has had q check
cred career. Founded originally to
boost tho political fortunes Of La Fol-
lette, it passed into control OF Isaac
Stephenson through repeated demands
upon him for financial aid, and on his
retirement from politics was put on the
market in October, 1916, being bought
by newly formed Free Press Corpora

ers, the great majority being Of dis
tinctly Teutonic names. Theodore
Kronshage was vice-president and in
practical control, ands his brother
Ernst was made editor, with full power
over all material that went into the
paper. The treasurer was Gustav j. A.

will for years give crcdence and stand

The purchase Of "The News" in
which Park at one time owned half
interest, followed shortly. "The News"
was practically morbund, was seldom
seen ON the streets, and had small
but rather steady subscription list. It's
purchase by Brisbane cleared the after
noon paper field for him as much as
possible, assured that no new rival
could get an Associated Press fran
chise and gave to him few thousand
more subscribers with which to start
business. M. A. Hoyt, the editor, had
owned It for some years.
''The Free Press,' the purchase Of
which by Brisbane Milwaukee is ex-
pectng to be announced at any time
will complete his string, the other
papers not being purchasable. "The

Into this situation has come Brs-
bane. The announcements of his pur-
chase of two papers comes at time
when peace rumors are thick in the air,
and optimists or those with private ad
vice from Berlin might fairly believe

would make it no longer legally dis

Brisbane was the bright particular
star of William Randolph Hearst's edi-
torial staff when, before we entered
the war, Hearst's papers were attacking
the Allies, defending Germany, urging
submission to the U-boat outrages and
defending German barbarities.

lar star. of William Randolph Hearst's
editorial staff when, after we entered

ing our allies, opposing the sending

tending or praising Germany.
Brisbane is the editor of "The Wash
ington Times" which has attacked our
allies. opposed the sending abroad of
men, money or food, and defended and
praised Germany.
! Brisbane is the man who declared he
was the sole owner of "The Washing
ton Times" just before A. Mitchell
Palmer, United States Alien Property
Custodian, revealed the fact that six
teen brewers end the United States

money with which he bought the paper

noteworthy that in spite of the wide
acclaim that has been given Mr.. Bris-
bane's advocacy of the use Of light
wines and beers, there did not appear
during the first week any welcome
from any of the thirty-six officials of
the brewing concerns of the city.
Circulation of Papers
The four papers enumerated give, ac-
cording to the statements filed with
the Postoffice Department on April 1,
1918, daily circulation Of 141,312.

broken with Berger because they are
patriotic Americans, as we'll as Social
lists, has boasted frequently Of his
friendship with Brisbane, and has
spoken Of going to him for funds when
"The Leader" was in straits, which was
often. He has declared that "The
Leader" could never fail, as Brisbane
would supply all funds that were nee
essary and on one occasion he told
Simon of getting $4,000 in lump.
Simon estimates that Brisbane has put
in from 1000 to $4,000 altogether.
AS the capital of "The Leader" is small,
he believes this represents a controlling
interest if it is all invested in stock
and the postofice statements give
Brisbane as stakeholder only and not
as bond or note holder In local
Socialist fights here Berger's oppo-
nents have repeatedly charged that he
was controlled by Hearst
Rumors of Pro-Beer Activity
The next appearance of Brisbane
here was in the "Wisconsin" deal. in
which he was represented by Theodore
kronshage, an attorney who has also
done legal work for the Schlitz and
Pabst interests and who has heavy in
terests in "The Free Press" of which

first rumors of q pro-beer, etc, paper
began to circulate last year Kronshage
received message making an appoint
ment for conference. This was held
in his office in the Wells Building. and
among those taking part were his
brother, Ernst Kronshage, editor of

1t was from Park, the principal in this

at least on paper, and they, with the
German paper, will have more than

Brisbane's first entrance into the
! Milwaukee newspaper field became
known early in April 1917, when the
publication of the circulation and
ownership statement of "The Leader"
showed that The Albert Brisbane Fund,
cf New York, supposed to be wholly
under his control, had become a stock
holder in 1914. "The Leader" is the
Socialist organ of the city, or rather
the organ of Victor L. Berger, the So
cialist boss, former Representative, and
now under indictment for dsloyalty.
"The Leader" has been denied second
class mail privileges as result of
editorials it published since we entered
made for it by Brisbane to Postmaster
General Burleson. 1t is still being pub
lished and distributed locally.
There was considerable shifting OF
the stock ownership of the Social-Dem-
ocrat Publishing Company, which
prints "The Leader" and also the
weekly "Vorwarts." at the time Bris-
bane bought in. Up to that time the
list had been headed by Berger's name,
but he disappeared. There also disap
peared from among the security hold
ers the Brewery Transfers Union No
72, the Beer Bottlers' Union No. 213,
the milwaukee, Federated Trades Coun-
Gil, E, Dietzen, of Wiesbaden, Germany;
Helen Phelps Stokes, Brewers Union
No. 8 and United Lodge No. rs, |. A.
of M. A new name on the list beside
Brisbane's was that of the Interna-
tional Union of United Brewery Work
men. Since that time and to April /,
1918, there were no changes among the
security holders mentioned, though
there were always q few transfers APP
pearing. This fall "The Leader" hav-
ing lost its second class mail privilege,
publishes no ownership statement, but
the "Vorwarts," which is printed by
the same company, shows all the above
still ON its list.
~. Attacks of "The Leader"
"The Leader" as Berger's organ, has
attacked almost everything in Mil
waukee except the brewers. This Ber-
ger has avoided. In 1910. when he was
publishing only the "Vorwarts,n -
Mother Jones came to Milwaukee as
the representative of the Brewery
Workers. Union and started an agita-
ton to better the condition of the girls
in the bottlng room OF the breweries
She got support for her campaign from
Socialist papers and leaders all over
the country but none from Rerger or
his newspaper. More recently, when
sin Legislature had voted in caucus to
support bill opposed by the brewers,
Berger rushed to Madison and induced
them to reverse their action During
the Socialist administration of the city
Joseph Uihlein, of Schlitz's brewery,
was made Public Debt Commissioner on
Berger's advice.
Berger, according to both j. f. Har-
ris and A. M. Simon, former managing
editors of 'The Leader" who have

Brewers in Need of Aid

The need of the brewers for, support
of any kind they can get is obvious.
But in Milwaukee the Teutonic ele-
ment also is in serious need Of rein
forcement, for Deutschtum in Mil
waukee is slipping. Led by "Tbe Mil
waukee Journal" one of the bitterest
fights against hyphenism made any
where in the country has been fought
out in Milwaukee, and the result is
seen in changed attitude in the street
There is no longer the almost apollo
getic attitude on the part of pro-Ameri-
cans which was notable even year
ago. Instead, there is a strong and
militant Americanism apparent, and it
is the o-German who is skulking
while his sympathizers speak in whis-
pers. This is illustrated, to give a
single instance, in the public school.
where what amounted to a requirement
that every pupil should study German
has been dropped, and as result there
were in September Of this year 1891
