 WAGES TO LABOR
Will Run Full Blast With Hundreds of Additional Men-Double Shifts to Be Used

New York, March 23.-(UP)- As soon as federal permit is re- ceived and the state beer regula- tions are passed, the Jacob Rup- pert breweries will start operations full blast with hundreds of addi- tional men employed" a spokes- man for the company said to-day.
 Double shifts will be employed, it was said, lat wages much higher'' than those paid pre-volstead brew-s cry workers.
 There will be no delay in pro- ducing 3.2 beer, the spokesman said, because i've have always made beer of that percentage but have had to de-alcoholize it." The federal permit, it was said, would allow the company to draw beer from the 'guage tanks" into which the finished product is pumped to make it possible for the govern ment to determine the taxable volume. Then the beer would be bottled and barreled for distribu- tion.
 At the federal prohibition offices here, 1t was said that several brew CTS had applied for and received temporary permits" which allow withdrawal of beer for bottling purposes between now and April 2.
 A few applications for permits for new breweries have been re- ceived 1t was said.
