NEW YORK, Sept. II G.N.S).
A serious food shortage threatened
New York city today as the "out-

brought trucking operations in
the city virtually to a standStill.
Only trucks carrying foods
destined for hospitals, orphan asy-
lums and relief stations would
be permitted to continue in opera

A picket line of rs members Of
the International Brotherhood of
TeamsterS and Chauffeurs, an AFL
affiliate, was established early to-
day at the Holland Tunnel, link
ing New York and New Jersey,
and drivers of all trucks entering
the city were asked to join the
strike.
Many Join Strike
Few refused to join. Some parked
their trucks in the vicinity at once
and others promised to return
their trucks to their garages un-
loaded. '.%
Abe Klein, chairman Of the rank
and file committee Of the union,
said 5000 men already were out,
and predicted that the number
would amount to $4,000 by night

Admitting the seriousness of
the situation, the Merchants AS

MAY we not suggest" he said,
"that an effort be made by you
to get in touch with the leaders
who are back of this outlaw
strike with a view to inducing
them to allow the business of
the city to proceed in a normal
way until some definite conclu-
sion is reached between the
truck drivers and the truck
owners?
unless this is done, the ship
ping of the port will be tied up
and serious consequences to the
citizens of the city will result"
NO VIOLENCE
Klein, emphasizing that the
strike would be conducted "in an
American m a nner," said the
strikers were not resorting to vio-
lence.
The strike started Thursday,
following a meeting of three locals,
at which it was decided to continue
negotiations with the employers.

Book Is Ritualistic
Beer Coming To
Usher In Spring

With other signs of approaching
Spring, the billy goat-the "Bock"
of the ancient Germans, leaps
nirnbly forth and via the medium
of "Bock Beer, signifies the COM
ing of the new growing season.
Today, throughout the country,
somewhere around the middle of
March, Book Beer puts in its an
nual appearance. Now and then
q brewer steals a march" by
coming out ahead of the crowd
but this is considered poor brew
ing ethics.
Far back in the early days,
there was no doubt about the
exact day because then Book Beer
was a "spring beer, the beer
which was brewed in the fall out
Of the first and finest of the grain
and hop crops and then carried
over to be used on the first day of
spring as a tribute to the goddess
Of fertility. In short, Book Beer
was a libation to the goddess of
growth and good crops.
There are many versions of why
beer is known as Book Beer, but
the one which is becoming more
and more acceptable explains that
while many cities and towns made
this ritualistic beer-one of them,
the ancient town of Einbeck or
Einbock not far from Hamburg,
brewed the finest. True to the
name Of the town, the beer was
branded with the sign of the Book
after which the town seems to
have been named. Thus. gradually
the beer bearing the sign of the
Book became known over a wider
and wider territory until finally
all the rich, dark beers which
come to mark the opening Of
Spring are known as Book Beer.
