Peoria Aims At Old Distilling Frame;
New Plants Rising, Corn Demand Up


PEORIA, ILL.,, Dec. 9.-This
city, now that repeal of the
eighteenth amendment is an ac-
compiished fact, hopes to step in
to her old position among the
leaders in whisky production.
Before the end of January five
distilleries, four here and one in
Pekin, 10 miles away, are ex-
pected to be in operation, produc-
ing "hard liquor" on scale COM
parable to the output in the pre-
prohibition era.
New Market For Grain
Effects already felt include
opening up of market for
thousands of bushels of grain
daily, employment of several
thousand persons in construction
projects and payment of large
sums in revenue taxes.
The Penn-MaryIand company
has been producing 500 barrels of
whisky a day since September.
Hiram Walker & Sons, Inc, erect
ing new distillery, to be one of
the largest in = the world, has
started production of gin in tenn
porary quarters and expects to be-
gin manufacture of whisky soon.
The American Distilling COM
pany at Pekin also is producing
gin.
Old Plants Purchased
The Distillers & Brewers cor
poration has purchased IL build
ings of the old Corn Distilling
company and started rehabilitation
work.
The American Distilling COM
pany is doubling the capacity of
its Pekin plant. The Century
Distilling company, a subsidiary
of Allied Mills, Inc, is rehabilitat-
ing the old Atlas distillery, engag-
ing $50 men.
Anticipating daily grain con-
sumption of the distilleries totals
65, 900 bushels, 5000 bushels more
than the average daily corn grind
of Peoria whisky plants before
prohibition.
Big Corn Use Seen
This, added to the $4,000 bush
els now being used daily by other
Peoria and Pekin industries, indi-
Gates daily clearance of 100,-
900 bushels or more on the Peoria
grain market, once more placing
it among the nations leading grain
clearance stations.
Permanent employment is ex-
pected to be given by the distill-
cries to more than 1000 residents
of this city and Pekin, not includ-
ing the several hundreds employed
in construction work and in affili-
ated industries.

That is just the beginning. In a

GROCERY CODE IS

54-HourWeek Will Be

ATLANTIC CITY, July g. En-
joying themselves at the suInptuous
/ hotels and hasking on the beaches
here, the members of the National
Association of Retail Grocers, rep
resenting mainly the largest chain
stores and other grocery houses, are
drawing up starvation code of
wages for grocery clerks The first
draft Of the code has already been
accepted and will go to General
johnson soon for acceptance.
The code provides for a 54 hour
maximum" week 1t sets mini
mum weekly wage of SIS for senior
clerks and s12 week for Junior
clerks. A ten-hour day will be pro-
vided for For women workers the
wages are set much lower. Senior
female grocery clerks are supposed to
get $11 and junior clerks So For
Southern workers, the wages are to
be reduced one dollar each week
below the Northern scale.
While the code states that the 54
hour week is to be the maximum,
through practice it will become the
minimum. At first every boss would
require his clerks to work at least 81
hours each week If they work below
this number of hours. of course, the
wages would be cut to total aver
aging from SIS week up to the high
est for the older male workers of SIG.
From the 54 hour week, the hours
could be showed up through over
time, without extra pay), late Sat
urday work, cutting down lunch
hours, and so on.
It can be seen that the grocery
bosses took the textile code as their
precedent. Their lowest wage is
lower than the textile code, and while
their highest minimum" is SIS as
against s11 for the textile industry.
the hours are 25 per cent more.
