Merely Contributed.

It was the general policy. accord
ing to the witness, for the United
States Brewers Association to con-
tribute in wet and dry fights in the
States but to leave details or the con
test to the State organizations and
local men.
These fights weres often costly, the
witness admitted
I'VE had a costly fight in Texas
lasting for ten years" said Mr.. Nc
Dermott.
The expenditures, he said, were
chiefly for publicity. postage, and or
ganization work.
"Did you pay poll taxes?"
Il do not know anything about
that"
The assessment on the brewers in
different States was sometimes high,
Mr.. McDermott said. In Colorado Il
was so or 60 cents per barrel OF beer
sold.
After the subcommittee had re-
ceived a large amount of documen-
tary evidence, which was offered by
Major Humes, Senator Overman an

La auertioned Closely.


Mr.. McDermott was questioned In
much detail about his work as head
of the organization bureau in years
past He insisted he had taken part
chiefly in State amendment and local
option fights rather than fights as
to candidates. He admitted, how
ever, that part of the system was
to elect men favorable to the busi-
ness of the brewers.
The former working agreement be-
tween the National Wholesale Liquor
Dealers Association and the brewers
was no longer in force, Mr.. McDer-
mott said. It was broken up soon
after the Pittsburgh investigation, the
witness asserted in reply to questions
of Major Humes.

tivities independent of each other?
"Yes"
Senator Overman and Senator Sterl-
ing were both anxious to know II
the national organization of the
brewers was warning on the proposed
constitutional amendment, and Mr..
McDermott said it was not.
Asked about the recent fght in
Ohio, Mr.. McDermott said it had been
carried on by the local people" and
not by the national association.

This was the answer given today
by John McDermott head Of the or
ganization bureau of the United
States Brewers Association. to the
Overman subcommittee of the Senate
today when asked if his association
had contributed to election of wet
candidates for legislatures in order
to prevent ratification of the proposed
constitutional amendment to make
the nation "dry."
Mr.. McDermott declared that in the
last two years the activities Of the
United States Brewers Association
had been devoted to advertising
channels rather than to political
work.
He asserted that the association
was not going to pay any attention
to the battle in the States over the
ratification Of the constitutional
