on the manufacture not only OF beer,
but OF all substitutes as well. has

when distilling was stopped.
It Is stated by DR.. GARFIELD that the |
action taken Is purely a Conservation |
measure designed to save coal. All OF |
the brewing industries of the coun- |
try consume little over 100000 |
tons of coal q year, and the Fuel Ad-
ministration, unable to make produc-
tion from the hmitless stores under
the ground to meet consumption. has
decided that this step is necessary to
save coal
First 100 Per Cent Cut.
The brewing industry is the frst
one to face 100 per cent curtailment
under the Fuel Administration pro-

Before taking action with respect |
70 the breWeries, DR.. Garfield con-
ferred with Chairman Baruch, Of the /
War Industries Board; Food Admins
traitor Hoover, and Vance Mccormick,
of the War Trade Board. The order
had their approval as part OF the
plan TO save consumption Of raw ma

The breweries will be allowed to
continue only until present stocks Of

Those concerned in issuance Of the
order believe that it will save much

The Public Service Reserve and en-

Labor viii cooperate in getting jobs
IN essential industry for the thousands
81 men who viii lose their employment.
The supply Of beer will disappear long
before the Whiskey supply is exhausted,
though Whiskey dlstilling was stopped
nearly a year ago.
It was inst q little over two weeks
ago that the brewers OF the United II
States reached a voluntary agreement
with the Fuel Administration to volun-
farily curtail their production approx
mately 50 per cent, but committing them
selves to use Of only half as much coal
during the year as had been previously
used. In this way they would save
their organization, their credit, and cap
itaI and keep their men and women en-
ployed.
