ton OF reopening the saloon The
success OF the Prohibition policy
and the demands of the war have
made it practically impossible for the
liquor interests to regain territory.
Wherever petitions were circulated TO
vote on rc-opcning saloons, it was
done chiefly by those having a pros
pective financial interest in the local
liquor trade.

States Attorney Hoyne has sug-
gested to the Chicago Council Sub
Committee on Police that every sa-
loonkeeper and every pawnbroker be
compelled to assist in catching pick
pockets, burglars, safe blowers, auto
and other thieves. In connection with
this suggestion, it was explained that
some saloons in Chicago, of which
several are in the loop, cater to
crooks. Proprietors of these saloons
know these criminals. Under the
plan suggested, the proprietor would
be required to phone the police
whenever the criminal appears. Here
we have an authoritative recognition
of the fact that the saloons are the
natural harbor of criminals.

Chicago Drank 100000 Tons

According to Z. d. Leach, assistant
state fuel administrator of Ohio, it
takes a pound of coal to make pint
OF beer. A barrel of beer contains 81
gallons, or 248 pints. For the year
ending April |, 1917, according to re-
ports made by the breweries to the
Board of Review, 3,525, ,683 barrels of
beer were sold in Cook County. This
amounts to 874,3o9 1884 pints and it
took an equal lumber OF pounds OF
coal to produce it. Reducing pounds
to tons we find that it required 437,-
184.6 tons OF coal to brew one years
supply of beer for Cook county alone.
Add to this an average of 10 tons for
each of $500 saloons and the result is
stzfSs f5ss dissccd in making beer for
Cook county and heating the saloons
of Chicago.
That the liquor traffic is to blame
TO great extent for the present
shortage of coal is pointed out in the
following article by William J. John
son. Superintendent of Investigation
of the Dry Chicago Federation:
Drink Decreases Coal Output
A few months ago a member of
the Pittsburgh Coal Producers Asso-
citation declared before the Interstate
Commerce Commission that if the
Government would eliminate the liq-
uor business from the coal producing
districts of Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Illinois, the output of coal would be
increased 25,000,000 tons. This makes
35,000,000 tons of the 50,000000 deficit,
and for which the liquor traffic is un-
questionably responsible.
A few weeks ago at a conference of
manufacturers, they agreed to reduce
the output of commodities not direct
ly essential to the war, and save 15,-
100000 tons of coal year.
Here we have it:
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1918-02-01
Total. 50,000,0

The last item is largely offset by
the coal used in transportation OF,
and manufactures directly connected
with the liquor traffic, which must
stand convicted Of the deficit in the
coal supply of this country.
1t has been stated by some that it
is no use to increase production, be-
cause the railroads are already over
taxed and cannot handle any more
coal. The liquor business uses about
one freight car in TO- If this is stop
ped, enough tonnage will be saved to
enable the railroads to carry an extra
2s,o00,000 tons of coal without an ad-
ditional tax upon their freight carry
ing capacity.
Short 100000 Tons in State
The coal shortage in Illinois is re-
ported to be about 100000 tons. A
statistician has figured that the
amount OF coal consumed in the man
ufacture and sale of beer used in Chi
cago is 502.000 tons. The latter more
than equals the former. The liquor
business in Chicago alone has created
the deficit in the coal supply of Illi
nois. A prominent railroad official,
connected with the freight depart
ment, says that if the breweries in
Illinois had been closed two months
ago there would be no fuel shortage
