GERMAN SALOONS WIN
BEER TAX REDUCTION
Strike on Sales Had Been Resorted
to for Shrinking Govern
ment's Revenues.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN.-Berlin saloonkeepers have
won their fight for cheaper beer
through the medium of reduced govern
mental taxes, which will become eftec-
tive the latter part Of March.
The situation had developed into
beer strike" against the tax. Some
IL 900 of Berlin's 5000 dispensaries OF
the beverage refused to sell beer. Scores
of bier stuben" were closed or catered
only to drinkers of other beverages.
A political significance became ap-
parent. A number Of NaI (FascisD and
Communist gathering places extended
the rule against selling beer to embrace
other types of drinks which carried a
government tax. BY shrinking the rev.
enues the leaders Of the extreme right
and left groups felt they could handicap
the government.
After extended negotiations between
the government and representatives Of
the brewers and saloonkeepers, it was
announced that the tax on 25-gallon
lots of beer would be decreased 8 marks
(about 10 cents, permitting the dis
pensers to pass the reduction onto their
customers
Under the new price scale beer will
cost from Is pfennigs, roughly cents,
to 80 pfennigs or cents, glass.
It is anticipated the government will
lose 28000,000 marks (roughly s7000,-
00O) annually in taxes through the de-
crease.
