Chicago Is impatient.

by United Press.
Chicago. Oct. 25.-All that stood
between Chicago and 30.00O.O0O gal.
Ions OF real beer was the official
notification to the breweries that
they could make delivery OF tho
goods to the corner drug stores. The
demand for real beer cannot exceed
the sspply. the brewers said.
This condition was brought about
by the issuance yesterday OF regu-
lations by the treasury department
permitting the delivery Of beer for
medicinal use. Tho issuance Of these
regulations came as complete sur
prise The issuance OF the order was
based on the holding Of Former At
torney General Palmer that the use
of beer as medicine was legal under
the prohibition act.
Secretary Mellon, in announcing
the issuance OF the beer rules, de-
clared that "the legal rights Of the
parties concerned being plain, the
department is unable longer to de.
lay the issuance of these regua-
tions."
The new rules cover comprehen-
sively the use of beer. wines and
spirituous liquors as medicines. The
amount of beer a physician may pre-
scribe at one time for the use of
the same person is limited to two
and a half gallons, the equivalent OF
case, but no arbitrary limit is
placed upon the number Of such pre-.
scriptions a physician may write or
the same person may obtain within
a given period.
Prescriptions for these medicines
may be filled only by licensed
pharmacist who is also a retail drug
gist, or a licensed pharmacist in tho
employ of retail druggist.
The right to prescribe distilled
spirits, wines and malt liquors for
medical purposes is confined by tho
regulations to such physicians as
have obtained permits to prescribe
liquors. Such a physi
clan, the regulations state, may pre-
scribe for "a person upon whom he
is in attendance, if after physical
examination of such person, or IL
physical examination is impractic-
able, the physician believes that the
internal or external use of such per-
son is necessary and will afford him
relief from some unknown ailment."

Chicago, Oct. 25.--Presldent Lee OF
the trainmen yesterday issued a
statement on the human side" Of
the railroad wage question, In part
as follows:
ut Is to be wondered whether the
public really understands the rail.
way wage reduction question. There
are more through freight brakemen
in the United States than there are
all other train and yard service en-
ployes combined, and this class of
service and the passenger train em-
ployes represent the lowest rates Of
wages paid.
"A through freight brakeman Is
paid at present s4.4S for an eight
hour day or at the rate Of Sc an
hour. If Ule proposed wage cut Is
made effective he will receive sic
an hour or $f.08 day. Passenger
service employees receive &c an hour
more than this and local freight and
yard men receive slightly higher
rate.
This means that the bulk OF the
train service employees receive about
$27 week for six day week, and
whatever Is earned above that
amount Is through extra service.
The extra service is paid for on
mileage basis but not on an eight
hour basis, except for freight runs
that are within 100 miles. Over
time is not paid on a strictly eight
hour basis. except in yard service
and on runs up to 100 miles.
"The low paid train and yard EN-.
ployes have to meet the same high
cost of living that the public must
meet. They are asking only fair
service conditions and fair days
pay.
The railroads do not tell the
whole truth of daily wages when
they quote higher amounts Of wages
earned, because they do not say they
represent time and extra time.
There is an abiding faith in the
fairness of the American people
when they understand the truth Of
the situation and what has here
been said is the truth and can be
proven
