RESTORE II ALCOHOL PERMITS
Twenty-seven of 118 Philadelphia
Alcohol Dealers Who Lost Per-
1nits Again Doing Business

Some two weeks ago the federal pro-
hibition authorities revoked the permits
of is denatured alcohol dealers in Phil
adelphia and vicinity. Last week Mr..
Blair, Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
ordered Revenue Collector McCaughn, of
Philadelphia, to restore 81 Of these per-
mits.
The whole nation has been flooded with
alcohol from Philadelphia Early in the
winter over 100000 gallons per month
were put out from that city on permits.
The revocation of 118 withdrawal permits
two weeks ago resulted in a monthly re-
duction of 100000 gallons.
By action of Commissioner Blair the %
firms reinstated are permitted to with
draw 69,675 gallons. The responsibility
for this state of affairs rests primarily
with Secretary of the Treasury Mellon.
Mr.. Mellon has under him the Internal
Revenue Department, presided over by
Mr.. Blair. Mr.. Blair has under him the
prohibition unit presided over by Com
missioner Haynes. Mr.. Blair also has I'M
der him Revenue Collector McCaughn.
Mr.. Reuben B. Sans, divisional chief of
enforcement, and Major William G. Muir
