from carrying on. The government
in this way will establish monopoly
for the brewers. A 5000 license fee
for saloons (taverns, they are being
calledD is taken by the city govern
ment, and undoubtedly the state,
county and federal governments will
take their share. This will make it
impossible for anybody but those with
large capital to sell beer. This again
works to the benefit of the brewers
who will open their own saloons and
save for themselves the profits that
the small saloon keepers used to reap.
There is little profit for the small
saloon keeper with every hot dog
stand and drug store selling beer now.
The largest manufacturers of bot
ting machinery in the country are
the Meyer works in Cudahy. The
huge orders of bottling machinery
from the breweries are supposed to
mean prosperity for the workers in
this plant. The Meyer management
was so grateful for the return of beer
that it gave IS 900 to the Democratic
campaign fund in return for the
passage of the bill.
A 12-Hour Day
But since the large orders for bot
Ting machinery have come in, the
Meyer works have not put on any ex-
ira men. Instead, they are working
the same force as before IL hours a
day with no extra pay for overtime.
The speed-up is terrific. The wages,
scl, r5tf flai1s6c cifln6
1929, remain the same in the face
of the rising prices due to initiation.
And the worst part Of it is the fact
that this employment is only tenn
poraryl The very nature Of the Meyer
trade which is specialized, con-
fined to bottling machinery for brew
cries, makes this clear. The orders
soon will be filled, and the Meyer
men laid off.
Who viii Buy the Beer"
Who will buy the beer? That is
another question. Good home brew
cells for from ten to fifteen cents
pint in Milwaukee. Free lunch goes
with it in many places. Yet the sale
was limited, due to the extent of

always has been a "wide-open' town,
in the sale of liquor The workers
simply cannot buy. The brewery 80
per cent beer sells for 10 cents a
glass. A cent glass is hardly taste.
How can the workers afford to buy
beer when they are hungry? The
various taxes, license fees, added to
the monopoly profits which the Uih-
leins. Pabsts, and other parasite brew
cry magnates will demand, will put
the price of beer beyond the reach of
the workers-aS it stands today. The
market is flutted in Milwaukee for
the beer now; almost as soon as the
saloons opened up this was true. The
few hundred men and women who
have gone back to work face lay-offs
again because of reproduction.
A few hundred have gone to work
at a terrific speedup; few thousand
speakeasy proprietors will have to go
on the County relief-this is the

prosperity" Of the return Of beer to
Milwaukee!
A mammoth Beer Festival" was
staged after Lent i'll Milwaukee, on
April 18th. There was SC beer par
AIDES; all kinds of monkey business.
The Beer City-also the City of So
cialism"- celebrated. But behind this
tinsel show that was put on by the
brewers and their mayor, Hoan, the
increasing hunger and want Of Mil
waukee's hundred thousand unem-
ployed still stands. Under the pre-
text that men are working in the
breweries, the county is cutting un-
employed from the relief lists.
Neither beer nor the socialist Party
leadership has brought prosperity
to Milwaukee. And it's clear then,
since Milwaukee is the metropolis of
both, that this United Front" of
Democratic Beer, and Hoan- Thomas
Socialism, won't bring prosperity to
the workers anywhere. The working
class united front of Socialist, Com
munist, and all other workers, for
unemployment insurance is needed
instead.

BY FRED BASSETT.

MILWAUKEE, Wis.-When Roose-
velt signed the beer bill, the whistles
in Milwaukee blew for Is minutes to
show the Joy with which the return
of beer was met in this city. There
is a reason for this-Milwaukee is the
leading beer producing city of the
country. Thousands of men used to
work in the huge breweries and it
was felt that the return of beer would
give work once more to thousands of
men, and bring back prosperity to
Milwaukee.
But what has happened? Has pros
perity returned? If it hasn't return
ed to ilwaukee-certainly RooSe-
velt's Beer Bill will not cause it to
come back anywhere else.
AS soon as the news of the sign
ing of the bill arrived, the streets
were filled with workers seeking for
Jobs. Thousands of workers marched
like an invading army through the
streets from one brewery to the 9TH
er. Over 5000 stood in line all night
at the brewery-and next morning
ten applications were taken. Not ten
jobs-but ten applications for jobs!
The line at the Schlitz brewery one
day was four blocks long-siX to eight
men deep. Policemen by the score
walked along the lines, showing the
men, and trying to get them to go
home. The cops took the names Of
the men in line, and said You'll be
called when there's an opening

charges.
Very few men have been hired. The
papers claim six thousand men have
found work but this is false. Since
1919 the breweries have been ration
allied. A few hundred men can do
what several thousand used to do.
With the new machinery the Mil
waukee brewerieS can flood the coun-
try with beer and employ only a few
hundred men each. The speed-up in
the breweries is terrific. The workers
can hardly stand it.
The Brewers Union located in
Brisbane Hall where the Socialist
headquarters are, and controlled
mainly by the Socialists, cashed in
on the situation. In spite of the fact
that only the skilled trades in the
breweries we're unionized, and the
breweries are actually open shop as
far as the unskilled workers are con-
cerned, the Brewers Union officials
spread the idea amongst the workers
that they could get jobs only by sign
ing up with the union. The workers
were given the idea that the official
employment agency for the breweries
was the Brewers Union in Brisbane
Hall. Membership fees of $25 were
collected right and left by the labor
fakers-and still are-though these
officials cannot guarantee a job any
more than the man in the moon. If
a worker could not pay it all, they
accepted installment payments Only
the oldest men, faithful hangers-on
of the business agent, and the brew
cry bosses, we're put back to work
first.

A is per cent wage cut by the First
National Bank of Boston has been
foisted on the school teachers and
other city employees after a long and
much-tooted sham battle put up by
Mayor Curley against the cuts.
In other New England cities teach
ers have been even worse hit than
in Boston. In Somerville, the 1900
school teachers were given 10 per
cent cut i'll January. and now, since
February have received nothing at
all. In Quincy, teachers, who have
been required to give 10 per cent to
welfare, were recently without pay
for three weeks.
Revere teachers along with other
city employees, we're not paid from
November to April 5. In Chelsea the
Mayor called for a 25 per cent re-
ouction in teachers pay. This was
protested and the teachers have re-
ceived nothing at all for several
months There have also been payleSS
pay-dayS in Maiden, Waltham, Ma
tick and Framingham.
Forced to Donate"
Brockton cut the teachers Is per
cent last December. Haverhill teach
ers were obliged to donate" 10 per

year and were then forced to waive
sixteen and two-third per cent of their
salary for the rest Of the year.
