WHISKY TRUST
CRAB LOOMING,
SAYS O'CONNOR
Blended Liquor Profits to Be
S500,0OO,O0O in Six
Months, Is Charge.
BIZ United Press

bB VfEed PTfss
WASHINGTON, Dec. Is. - The
whisky trust" is prepared to grab
s5oOO0o.oOO In profits from blended
whiskies in the next six months.
Representative O'connor Dem,
N. y charged today.
"They are out for that profit and
are buying up all they can of the
100000 gallons of liquor in the
hands of the Illicit industry. -
OConnor, a leading house wet
warned.
O'Connor, who asserted at a
liquor tax hearing yesterday that
the trust is sitting pretty in Wash
ington," followed up his sweeping
attack with a plea for public boy
colt Of "extortion priced" liquor.
He took surprise stand for re-
turn to prohibition if present repeal
methods continue. Representative
Cochran Dem, Mo- also warned
that the public may put back the
prohibition amendment" unless
liquor interests bring down prices.
Foreigners Have Stake
Between IS and 90 per cent of
the whisky industry is controlled
by the trust" O'Connor said. For
eign interests also have a big stake
in it. One Canadian company is
furnishing funds for a huge plant
at Peoria, Ill, working through a
subsidiary. The profits will go to
foreign stockholders"
The distillers code authority, ac-
cording to Federal Alcohol Adninis-
traitor Joseph H. Choate has re-
ceived complaints of such a trust.
In addition representatives of a
group of Kentucky distillers have
informed the house ways and means
committee that such a trust" exists
and that it is possible for independ-
ents, if given free hand to under
sell the trust" to such an extent
that whisky could be available to
consumers at 81 to $125 a quart
O'Connor's assertion that high
taxes would have little effect on
liquor prices, and his proposal for
a levy of more than S. a gallon
failed to change sentiment among
members of the ways and means
committee, many of whom favor g.
levy Of from $3.50 to So.
Taxes Are Discussed
Majority members of the COM
mittee met in secret session a few
hours after hearing O'Connor's
charges. It was reported they dis
cussed them in detail All members
declined to discuss whether any de-
cision on tax was reached. Chair
man Robert L. Doughton (Dem., N
c. said tax procedure" was dis
cussed.
House Majority Leader Joseph w
Byrns (Dem., Tenn.) came out for a
low tax, preferably under 81, but
all tax proposals remained cOntin-
gent on whether the bill which the
ways and means committee will
draft, calls for a revenue sharing
plan with states which refrain
from gallonage taxes.
The field of such taxes was left
entirely to the federal government
in pre-prohibition days, but at
present eight or nine states have
imposed volume leVies
Representative Charles West
(Dem., o. said the proposed re-
turn of 20 per cent of all liquor
revenues to states which come in
under the plan, was meeting oppo-
sition from various states. Some
want 35 per cent, or even more" he
said.
