issued by Fuel Administrator Garfield
on Wednesday. which. II carried out,
would deny to all breweries Of the
country any coal after the materials
now in process Of manufacture or on

An order has been received. however,
cutting the supply in half.
At the office Of the three local brew
cries. the Joseph stoeckle Brewing
Company. Hartmann and Fehrenbach
Brewing Company and Bavarian Brew
ing Company, It was stated this morn
ing that they have not received the
no coal order and know nothing about

morning from the National Breweries
Association a copy Of an order said to
have been recently issued by the Fed
