New York City (ILNS)-Two weeks
ago International Labor News Serv-
ice made available report by Roy
Dickinson on the amounts of money
that would be expended by brewers
for wages, materials and advertising,
''if beer returns" Mr.. Dickinson made
his survey for Printers Ink, of which
he is assistant editor. A second in
stallment of his findings now is avail
able and is as follows:
By ROY DICKINSON in Printers Ink
Here is a news presentation of
what some brewers (and many 9TH
ers) think will happen if
Take one brewery, for example,
which has kept it's name alive during
the arid years by advertising other
products, such as cheese and malt.
Fred Pabst, of the Pabst Brewing
Company of Milwaukee, says:
"Our estimates are based on the
assumption that we would sell 100000
barrels of bottled beer during the first
year. Assuming a 100 per cent turn
over every four months, we would
have to invest in S875,000 worth of
bottles and $1,000,000 in cases.
Lists Wages at $750,00O
"Conservatively, our increased pur-
chases would be as follows:
"Crowns, 100000; labels, $4,000;
cleaning chemicals, $4,000; labelling
glue, $4,000; bottle and hand brushes
and brooms, $4,000; bottle trays, s8,-
600; ice, $4,000; miscellaneous, at
least $4,000; advertising, 100000 at
a conservative estimate; trucks, $685.
900; mechanical changes, $4,000; and
additional wages, $750,000.
"Should we be permitted to sell
beer in barrels, we could easily figure
on the output of an additional 100000
barrels, which would require an in
vestmet in wooden or steel barrels of,
say, $1,250,000.
Furthermore, in distant localities
where high freight charges would pro-
bibit our shipping in bottles, we would
have to have refrigerating houses
with bottling facilities. These, very
conservatively figured, would cost at
least $25O,000, making total OF
4,989, 900 which the Pabst breweries
would have to spend. These figures
carefully and conservatively made
are for the first year alone"
For Pay Roll of 1000
| asked Colonel Jacob Rupert as a
representative large local brewer
several questions concerning his ad-
vertising plans, the amount he would
invest in new machinery and other
supplies.
His replies, too, are especially IN
teresting to publishers, machinery
makers, and farmers.
He would spend during the first
year 100000 in local New York city
advertising. He has kept the Rup-
pert name alive by advertising a
cereal beverage, but the sales of that
were approximately 100000 barrels
as against 100000 barrels Of beer
The cereal beverage would be drop
ped.
He would add about 1000 men to
the payroll.
He would invest in new machinery
and equipment $2,25O,0O0 during the
first year and $2,175,0O in supplies,

position that if shorter work week
is agreed upon it should be for a linz
tied period, some holding that year
will be sufficient, some willing that it
should be for three years
Differs From Predecessors
However, those close enough to the
situation to know what is going on
declare that opposition will not serve
to change the course of events and
that the conference will be called.
The coming conference will differ
from the unemployment conferences
held in earlier years. There were con-
ferences during both the Wilson and
Harding regimes, but they lacked a
definite purpose. They were called to
deal with generalizations, while this
conference will be summoned, accord
ing to present plans, to deal solely
and specifically with the shorter work
week as a means of reducing unem-
payment.
Delegations Size Unknown
Labor has no inkling of how many
seats it will have when the confer
ence is called, nor whether represen-
tation will be inclusive of all inter-
national unions. Nor, so far as is
known has any other industrial
group. The work now being done pre-
liminary to the actual summoning Of
the conference is proceeding too
quietly for much to become known be-
yond the definite fact that prepara-
tory work is proceeding.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Plans
for the proposed national conference
to consider how to introduce the 30
hour week generally into American
industry are moving forward, but
with the probability that no public
announcement will be made for per-
haps week or two
There is no official announcement
available to the effect that plans are
being developed for the big national
conference, but international Labor
News Service learns from reliable
sources that such work is being done
and that the decision to call such a
conference under government au-
spices has been made.
For Large Representation
1t is understood that the program
as it now stands calls for the sum
moning of conference of consider
able size, perhaps representative of
the organizations in industry, such as
trade associations and, of course, in
cluding organizations of labor.
1t is likewise understood that much
preliminary work will be done to in
sure fairly smooth functioning of the
conference, in the way of plotting out
subdivisions through which industrial
groups may speak with authority.
Opposition to the whole idea is be-
ing recorded, along with expressions
of approval. Some employers, it is
known, are recording unqualified OBJ
lection, while others are taking the

Mrs. Hattie Caraway, running to

scored tremendous success in the

Brewers Advertising Estimate
The grandson of a man who once
made a certain beer famous was talk
ing to a man in a white coat, and
three other men.
In days when stems were clinked,
the white-coated one would have been
called a bartender. Two of the others
were publishers representatives, the
other an advertising agent.
The place was one of those which
nobody wants to return, though some
say they have never been away at ALL
The time was the afternoon a man
who flew from Albany was making a
speech in Chicago, very wet one,
some weeks after another convention
had also spoken we'll of foaming
product, once widely advertised,
whose name was beer.
Beer is certainly coming back
soon," said the man in the white coat
sadly.
"This time / think you're right,
Paul." said the grandson, land if it
does it is going to help these birds
here almost as much as it will me-"
Then land this case was reported to,
not observed by your correspondent
he figured on the back of an envelope
what sort of appropriation 847 brew
ers would spend in advertising.
Dividing them into ten classes of ad-
vertisers from two at 100000 apiece,
several at $3O0,000, many more at
$4,000, and most of all at from $1,000
to $4,000 a year, he came to the con-
clusion that at least $13,000000
would be invested in advertising by
brewers during the first year the Vol
stead act was "liberalized." His po-
sition as stockholder in a big brewery
now making another product, and his
close association with prominent men
in the old brewers association, made
his estimate especially interesting to
his hearers, though it was admittedly
only guess.

Would Spend $4,000

When | asked a number of other ex-
brewers their views on how much
money they would invest in advertis-
ing ''if," how many men they would
put back at work, how much they
would spend in machinery and new
construction, there was time for only
few to answer before this issue of
Printers Ink went to press.

Falls City Ice and Beverage Com
pany of Louisville, for example, an
swered my query about advertising
with the statement that he would
spend from $4,000 to 100000 in adj

CONN LEAGUE OF
WOMEN VOTERS
In CONVENTION
Editor Told Delegates That
Roosevelt Has a Lead in
Nov Elections, That
Hoover Can't Overcome

New Haven, Conn, October IL
- (UP) - The Connecticut Lea
que of Women Voters planned to
take up discussion Of efficiency In
government, child welfare, the sta :
tus of women in industry and war
prevention at the closing session
of its 18th annual convention here
today.
Fraklin D. Roosevelt has a lead
which President Hoover cannot
hope to overcome in the Noyember
elections, Bruce Blivin, managing
editor of the new republic, told
delegates last night.
Blivin declared Roosevelt will
mot because the people are vo-
ting for him, but because they are
voting against Hoover.
This is due to the depression, u
he said, "and while it is not fail
to blame Hoover for the depres-
sion, which he had nothing to dc
with, there is ironic justice in the
fact that he took credit four years
ago for prosperity, something he
also had nothing to do with.
Albert Levitt, Independent re-
publican candidate for governor
told the League, II do not un-
derstand how the members OF
your organization can support
either the republican or the demo-
cratic candidates for major offices
when they have consistently OPP
posed your program. This is par
ticularly true when I contemplate
the amazing spectacle presented by
the president of your organization
being actively on the stump to
elect candidates who have per-
sistently and flagrantly opposed
every one of the principles to
which your organization is COM
mitted." Levitt referred to Mrs
Edith Valet Cook, New Haven
lawyer and former republican leg
islator, who is league president.
