 Reporter: Could you say what subjects are under confederation
 Meyer: Why, almost everything.
 Reporter: h any particular con- alteration being given to the open market policy of tho reserve eys- tem2
 Meyer: -yhy I should say that 1t is. being given tho consideration that tho subject deserves. It ia. in fact, being given adequate consid- eration-7adequate, but not excess sive, Is the way I would describe the consideration being given the matter.

HOTEL MAN HAS
 FINE ART' FOR SERVING BEER

New York, November 17e-(UP) - The "fine art" of beer serving has not kept pace with tho pro- gregs of civilization in tho belief of John r. Daachner of Worcester. Mass, who proposes to do for this branch of culture what Ford did in transportation and Edison did in lighting.
 Daschner. owner of the Willard and Warren hotels in Worcester, was proclaimed hotel genius when he invented the Robot waiter. Now he. has perfected the automatic beer aupplier, which. he says will eliminate the saloon forever and thus case the worries of numerous politicians who view with alarm lts possible return. :.
 "Why, tho serving of beer hasn't made any progress in 3.Q00 years" Daschner reminded New York state hotel men at their annual convention yesterday. Beer serv- fec is right where 1t was in the day of King Solomon.
 What is . saloon?. Ill tell you = . bartender on one ,alde, ' bar (with q raii) in the 1iiddle, and a customer on tho other side with hts foot on the rail. Drinking be- gins. and people call out. ,The drinks are on me. They keep drinking until they're drunk or broke, or both.
 ''Now what is better - standing at q bar with your foot on q rhil or sitting ct . table? I'm asking
 "My automatIc beer suppiier gives q man his glass of beer as ke dts with his friends around q table. The beeg, drawn or ig \ bottle, comes up from the kitchen in . small elevator through the center of the table.
 Might clubs soiiid make for- tune with my invention, but I'm not going to promote any illegal .I'hs doom of the saloon is around the corner. Tn . month I'll have 2b of the new machines completed and we'll go into action ct once in Worcebter.b

Against this gain, however. you must set off c good share of the speakeasy propfietors, bartenders. bootieggerD, delivery boys, truck Nmen, hijackerp, and prohibition agents who have jobs under tbe present regime.
 MRbe you don't like to think Of s0Yip of those as jobs. but they are, and many of them would vanish # beer becefne legal. The federal government alone has been arreht- ing eO,O00 a year, so you can guess how many escape. The bootleg, iil- dustfy, further, ia decentraiixed. has smail-unit production, ia inefii- cent. The organized brewery is centralized, has big-unit produc. { ton, is most efiicient.
 Money and Jobs
 Even that might be . clear gain, because the jobs would be honest and legal and .aboveboard. But that is . gain in tho quality of jobs. not the quantity. The point
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-11-17

is that the expected gain in jobs through beer apparently has been greatly exaggerated; nobody knows what the net gain in the number Of jobs would be, though the gain in condition. of those jobs is un-
 Now how aboA money? The government, with a huge deficit and running behind about q half billion every year. needs money badly. Win beer bring 1t inF Here there is general agreement that beer will bring the govern ment . lot of money. But how much?. The Association Against the Prohibition Amendment says q billion q year. So does the New York Hotel Mems association. John J. Rask0b recently estimated a bile lion q year, including light wines. The Investment Bankers associa. ton says $750, ,000, 900.

What of Business?

Probably the biggest immediate effect on busineBa would be from the huge sums brewers would have to spend to nodefnize plants which have iain idle, most of them, since 1920. Requirements, building. and new machinery have been com petentiy dstimated at S20O, 900 ,O00. Col Jake (Knickerbocker) Ruppert has t2, ,O0O, 1000 ready to put into his New York plant; Brooklyn's Henry c. (Piel's Lager) PIel. n million; the schlitz firm (which Made Mil- Busch, S7000, 1000 in St Louis.
 All that would help. The brew ers' big horses may bo gone for- ever, but some 50,000 motor trucks and 100000 railroad cars would be needed to carry the products of the restored breweries. That would help, too.
 Ali these estimates, or more properly. guesses. boil down to this: if beer were legalized the government would get a big reve- nue, employment would be im- proved in quality even if not greatly increased, the grain sur- plus would be little affected, the beer racketeer would be dealt q heavy. but perhaps not n mortal. blow.
 NEXT: How will the sale of beer he handled if IcgaIized? !? What plans have been proposed, and what plans do other countries use?
