PERMITTING SALE
OF MEDICAL BEER
Internal Revenue Commits
sioner Blair Made
Statement

Washington, d. C., Oct. 20 Issuance
of permits to brewers for the manu-
facture OF medical beer under the new
treasury regulations viii proceed with
promptness and dispatch, Internal
Revenue Commissioner Blair said to-
day.
Operation of the regulations promul-
gated on Monday. Mr.. Blair said,
would be devoid Of red tape and with
out undue delay. Brewers have only
to apply to their state directors, he
explained, in order to obtain the nee
essary permits.
Brewers who have violated the pro-
hibition law, Mr.. Blair stated, would
be unable to obtain these permits, but
in his opinion, he added, there were
not great many of these.
Instances of the purchase of closed
breweries by companies formed for
their operation under the new regu-
lations, Mr.. Blair declared, would be
thoroughly investigated before per-
mits to manufacture medical beer
would he issued. Where the transac-
tion was not "blind" but bona fide
business venture he said he could see
no reason why such concerns should
not operate under the treasury regu-
lations.

Lee, president Of the trainmen,. to The
stand and questioned him concerning
the strike order.
Lee told how the strike vote was
taken and the walkout ordered. He
told the board he withdrew from the
joint meeting of the other unions be-
cause their strike resolution covered
questions he did not think were in
volvcd.
II took the position" Lee said, that
for once in my life, at least, wanted
TO tell the truth to my men about the
facts as ! saw Them
Lee read into the record a circular
letter sent to his men while they were
voting on the strike. in which he point
ed out that wages must come down
and that four million unemployed men
were seeking jobs.
Mr.. Lee declared the differences be-
tween himself and the other upions
arose when be insisted on ';clean-
cut statement" pointing out there was
no possibility Of re-opening negotia-
tions with the roads, using the strike
vote as club because the labor board,
and not the roads, had ordered the
wage cut.

the movie men.
well, If you have no control over
them | can put one of my strong arm
squads in here and clear them out in
two minutes" Stone said.
The FIVE union presidents declared
they reserved the right to represent
their general chairman inasmuch as
several railroad presidents had an
swered for absentees. The chair did
not rule on the point and a roll call
of the general chairmen of the engi-
neers started As road after road was
called there was no answer.

Manufacturers Submit a
Schedule Calling for 20
Per Cent Reduction
LYNN EMPLOYEES
| AFFECTED, 1900
Move Made for the Purpose
Of Stimulating
Business

Lynn, Mass, Oct. 26-Proposals for
an immediate 20 per cent reduction in
the wages of the $4,000 shoe workers
in fayories affiliated with the Lynn
Shoe Manufacturers association were
submitted to the workers union to-
day for approval.
Under an agreement with the unions
changes in rates Of pay may only be
made when both sides are agreed that
such change Is necessary to stimu-
late business.
The proposal for reduction was made
in letters Gent by George w. Gage,
secretary of the Manufacturers associ-
alton to the secretaries of joint coun-
ell, No. l, United Shoe Workers of
America, and the allied shoe council
OF the, Allied Shoe Workers union.
The former organization embraces in
its membership about 10000 workers
while the Goodyear operators, edge
makers and heel workers, numbering
about 1900 are affiliated with the AL
lied Shoe Workers.
In the letter to the joint council,
which under its rules must submit the
proposal to referendum vote. the
manufacturers said that If the mem
bers were not already convinced by the
idle factories, unemployment and gen
eral depression existing in the shoe
industry in this city that a reduction
was necessary the manufacturers
would like to meet the union leaders
and endaeyor to convince them.
To the allied shoe council, Secre-
tary Gage said that an immediate re-
duction was absolutely necessary to
enable factories to resume business
and continue in any volume during the
winter.
Both councils have meetings sched
uled for Friday night, at which time
the proposals will be taken up.
About forty factories, including sew
eral of the largest in the city, are af-
filiated with the manufacturers as
sociation.
