GLASS OF BEER FOR FIVE CENTS WILL
 BE THE PRICE

New York, March 14-(U.P.) -Cheered by the Roosevelt beer message, the United States Brewers Association made a few nasty calculations to-day and decided that beer shouldn't re- tall for more than five cents q glass and eight or ten cents a bottle.
 At a cost of $4, a brewer can make a 31 gallon keg of beer. The association added a prOb- able $5 federal tax and a $6 profit for the brewer, bringing the wholesale price per keg to $15 which would allow the re- taller to sell at five cents glass and make a profit.
 The association figured that to bottle, cap, label, and pas teuriZc cases of beer of 24 bot ties each would cast 52 cents. A 38 cent federal tax would bring the total cost to 90 cents q case. This will allow "sub- stantiaI" profit to the brewer at a retail price of 8 to 10 cents a bottle, the association decided.
 The capacity of the nations existing brcweries is 25.O00.0OO barrels annually.

exclusively alcoholic are punish able under the same act. Transportation into states bar ring the beverage is punishable by a fine of not more than $1, ,00O and imprisonment of not more than one year.
 The bill provides protection for dry states.
 Dry states which do not desire manufacture or sale of the pre- prohibition beverages within their borders would be fully protected. All states are given free hand to regulate manufacture and distribu- tion.
 Immediately after meeting and approving it's committee lists. the house recessed temporarily to per. init members of the ways and means committee, just officially organized, formally to report the beer bill.
 Prohibitionists opened the battle by selecting Fighting Tom" Blan- ton, democrat, Texas, as their first speaker.
 The Texan, frankly admitting that this bill can't be stopped" |" amused the house for 10 minutes.
 He put his foot upon a chair near the rostrum and said that was what "the wet members of con- gress will be doing at the bar rail when this bill is passed.
 ''In fact I know this bill will pass" he said. shaking his head. A burst of applause greeted this admission.
 Do you think he asked, that I am q fanatic because I oppose this beer bill?"
 "Yes." chorused his colleagues.
 Blanton was annoyed constantly during his speech by disposition on the part of anti-p~ohibitionists to applaud at the wrong time.
 When he was relating the tale of the conversion of Speaker Henry T. Rainey to the cause of beer he told of cartoon in a Texas paper showing the new speaker holding a mug of beer.
 "Hurrah," shouted his opponents and made the occasion an oviation for the silver haired presiding of- ficer.
 Rep. Guyer, repn, Kan. then took up the cudgels for the prohibitions ists. He was interrupted by voice from the democratic side:
 Isn't 1t true that the chief prod uct of your state is corn whiskey. which you sell in the surrounding states?"
