BREWERS AND BEED DIST.
HEAD MAN VISITS TIMES

T. G. Mckinley, State Direct
or of the powerful Brewers and
Beer Distributors Committee of
West Virginia, stopped at the
Times office for a short visit
Wednesday forenoon. We were
glad to meet Mr.. Mckinley and
found him a most pleasant and
welcome visitor.
Mr.. Mckinley told the Times
that nine retail beer dealers
failed to receive license renewals
last month following complaint
by his organization to the State
Tax Commission that their
places of business were being
operated contrary to law, order
and the public welfare.
Mr.. McKinley's request that
new licenses be denied were
based upon reports by his Com
mittee's Investigators that law
violations existed in each of the
nine outlets.
Il am deeply gratified by the
State Tax Commissions compli-
ance with our recommends
tion," Mckinley said.
Their action is most en-
couraging to our Committee and
to the vast majority of law-abid-
ing retailers.
