HOOKING UP BREWERlES.

Amsterdam, Feb 21-The German
government has issued an official de-
cree providing for the consolidation
o. the brewing industry. Breweries,
selected on the principle of highest
efficiency. are to take over the pro-
duction OF others that are to be shut
down, and are to pay the latter mon
etary compensation.
The breweries naturally complain
cf this measure. calling attention to
the fact that more than three billion
marks of German capital is invested
in this industry, which thus outranks
the chemical industry, iron smelling
or coal mining. The number oi
hreweries in Germany is more than
$4,000, closely connected with which
are 100000 hotels and restaurants
which employ 100000 persons.
