BREWERS HOPE rs
23-4 PER CENT BEER
IN COURT RULING

Chicago, June 19.-Hopes Of the
brewing interests, now less than
two weeks away from national
prohibition under the wartime dry
act. are centered in the court ac-
ton by which 1t is hoped 10 estab-
lish the present day 2A per cent
beer as a Notwithstanding bever-
age.
Most of the 43 Chicago brewer
les, 16 of which have already re-
newed their licenses and the re-
mainder of which are lodging the
city collector, are proceeding on
the theory that the beer of light
alcoholic content eventually will
get legal standing as a soft drink.
That would save the brewery in
vestments.
Saloons. most Of which will alb
dicate in favor of soda fountains at
the end Of the merry month of
June, are running along without
any hope Of averting the great dry
period. In most cases the prophet
ors now are worrying over an out
let for their stocks Of liquors.

MILLIONAIRE OF
YEARS AGO GETS
JOB AT 81 A DAY

Chicago, June 19,-Apparently
without a regret, without even a
crouch against the world, Henry
Clinton Goodrich, 81 years old. 1904
Humboldt avenue, walked into the
handicap division of the federal
employment agency yesterday aft
ernoon and asked for a job Twen-
ty years ago Goodrich was a mnlt!-
millionaire. Yesterday he was
broke. But before he left the Office
yesterday he had a job that will
pay him 81 a day.
Goodrich, who came to Chicago
50 years ago, is an inventor. His
inventions centered around the
sewing machine, and from several
patents he made more than $4,000
900. DO you remember the little
old slate with the red covered
edges? Goodrich made them.
Unwise investments in real es-
tate followed the prosperity, and he
became penniless.

Other Things Would
Follow Says Wooley.

Old Point Comfort, Va. June 49,
Return of railroads to private
operation during the readjustment
period would occasion a necessity
for increased freight rates that
would mean a rise in prices in this
country, the apex of which no
man could predict" Robert M.
Woolley, member of the interstate
commerce commission, declared in
an address before the annual con-
vention of the Virginia Bankers
association.
Owing to the cut in railroad
revenues caused by diminishing
traffic during the readjustmenI
period and other conditions, said
Mr.. Woolley, the interstate COM
merce commission would be fore
ed to grant an increase in rates if
the roads were returned, to per-
NIT them a fair revenue. For these
readjustments conditions would
prevail, he said, regardless of
whether operation of the roads
was retained by the government
or relinquished to the owners.
Isn't it far sounder economics"
said Mr.. Wooley, ito take care of
any deficit from carrier operations
out of the national treasury, whose
Golfers are replenished through
taxes levied where they can best
be borne, than to force by their
return an increase in rates ?"
Sees Raise All Along Line.
The opinion is held by railroad
officials generally, said Mr.. Wool
ley, that a rate increase of at least
thirty per cent would be necessary
upon return of the roads. This,
he declared, would mean another
swing through the vicious circle
of mounting prices estimating that
such a rate advance would be
''fourfold" in the price of finished
commodities to the consumer. At
the end of the "circle" he said,
when labor and raw material costs
had been raised to n level COM
mensurate with the rate advance,
the railroads would find them
tion as before the advance and the
interstate commerce commission
upon a showing of inadequate
revenues by the railroads, must
again authorize an increase in
rates.
Holding Down Ono Corner.
Bearing in mind" Mr.. Woolley
concluded, that the three princi-
pal elements in the cost of the fin
ished product are the price of the
raw material, the price of labor
and the price of transportation,
aren't we by retaining control of
the roads and refrairing from in
creasing freight rates pegging
down one corner of the vicious
triangle?"
