BREWERY SITUATION.
Still Running on a 80 Per Cent Supply
of ConI

The situation in the local brewing world
with respect to the coal supply has not
changed, officially, since the notification
of the 80 per cent curtailment already
sent out by the Fuel Administration.
While there has been much newspaper
discussion, based on theories Of what may
happen in case the supply is cut of be-
yond the point where production must
cease, there has been nothing, so far, to
form the basis Of definite action, although
that prospect would be disquietlng
one to the trade, II its became n reality,
of course.
In the meantime, the local brewing
concerns can only await the outcome OF
events, and take their chance with the
rest of the industry throughout the
country.
