TELLS OF
BREWER ACTIVITIES

Hugh F. Fox, secretary Of the
United States Brewers Association
who was on the stand again today
in the investigation by the Overman
subcommittee into the activities or
the brewers. as called for by the
Jones resolution, was questioned at
,ength with regard to the unfair nst
If the association and the alleged
ooycottinE of concerns not looked
upon as friendly by members OF the
association or the organization ITSELF
Major Humes, in charge of the ac-
tive conduct of the investigation Tor
the subcommittee, brought forward
and put into the record large
mount of correspondence bearing on
this subject.
No Part of System. .
Senator Overman repeatedly asked
Mr.. Fox IL it was not part OF the
system of the association to boycott
concerns which were looked on as
unfriendly.
Mr.. Fox was reluctant to admit
there was an actual boycott, but he
Indicated the brewers gave preference
n trade to their friends.
Naturally, we gave preference TO
cur friends" said Mr.. Fox. I'VE were
in a war. 1t was not good business
Tor the brewers to throw their money

Major Humes brought up the case
of the H. ]. Heinz Company. He
asked IL the association had not boy
.otted that company and sent out de-
tectives to investigate the company.
Mr.. Fox said his memory was not
r-ood nm this matter.
Humes Reads Letter.
Major Humes then read a letter
signed by Mr.. Fox sent out TO MEM
bers of the association, calling atten-
ton TO the fact that IL. J. Heinz was
elected president of the Pennsylvania
Sabbath School Association.
''In view of this, wouldn't you say.
II was a part of the system of boy
cotting?" asked Senator overman-
"The matter was sent out for the
use of whom II might concern" Mr..
Fox answered. at was to tell who
were our friends and not our
enemies"
Major Humes then took up corre-
spondence of the brewers association
relating to the Packard Motor Car
Company, Proctor & Gamble, the
Western Union, and other concerns.
Consider Wire Company.
1t appeared that the Western Union
had been put on an unfair list found
in the files of the association. Major
Humes sought to bring out that IT
was because the telegraph company
forbade its employees TO use alcoholic
drinks.
Mr.. Fox had written a letter. as
shown by the files, 10 President New

STEAMER ARMENIA IS FORCED ASHORE Crew Tells Of Two U-BOat Attacks
 Within Few Hours MAY BE COMPLETE LOSS
Eormcr German Merchantmen At tempted to Proceed With rernpor- ary Patch on Hull But is Forced if, Beach Again By Submarine.

An Atlantic Port, March 6.-The American steamship Armenia, for merly German merchantman lies beached and badly damaged on the British coast after being torpedoed by a German submarine, it was learned With the arrival of the Armenia's crew here today. The attack took place February g, about three weeks after Secretary Daniels made public details of a similar attack on the Ar menia in December.
 Tho sailors arriving today, 33 in num Der, said that after the Armenia of 5,464 tons gross was torpedoed the first time, in the English channel on December 5, she was beached and temporarily repaired by means of a wooden patch placed over the hole. Most of the cargo was saved.
 The vessel renewed her voyage on February s, bound for a British dry dock to have an iron patch replace the wooden one. At 12:30 o'clock the next morning a U-boat sent a torpedo into her hull and again she was forced to beach, the crew said, and it was a question whether she could be saved.
 The Armenia left Baltimore with grain last November for a European port. She was under the same name when owned by German interests. Secretary Daniels recently made pub lie some extracts from the report of the Armenia's commander regarding the first attack. These showed that the armed guards stuck to their guns and the wireless operator to his ap paratus and that the crew displayed coolness throughout.
