Campaign To Return
Milk And BEVERAGE
Bottles Under WAY

An energetic campaign to bring
countless thousands of 'truant''
milk and beverage bottles back
into circulation was under way
today throughout Arizona.
The missing bottles are lying
4dle in kitchens, storerooms, attics,
Easements and garages. Unless
they are returned consumers face
serious shortage of milk and
beverages in coming months be-
cause the bottlers cannot obtain
enough new containers to supply
all their customers.
Shortages of raw materials used
in the manufacture of bottles has
curtailed production to the extent
that bottle manufacturers are un-
able to meet increasing demands.
In some areas, the bottle shortage
is threatening milk deliveries. For
every milk bottle in the consum-
er's hand the dairy must have eight
other bottles in the process of fill
ing, washing and in storage.
An increasing shortage of soda
ash, one of the principal ingredi-
ents of glass, Is one of the major
causes of the bottle shortage. The
Department of Commerce reports
the nations annual deficiency of
100000 tons of soda ash will con-
tinue throughout 1947 and the situ-
alton will not be relieved until
sometime in 1948.
Leaders of the milk, beverage
and beer industries are urging all
housewives to search their premises
and return misplaced deposit
bottles Immediately to their gro
GERS, beverage dealers or dairy
men.

the n m u S Rlght-tO-WOrk
Amendment is Laurence H. Whit
low, a Phoenix attorney. Opposi-
ton is from the Attorney Generals
office and an intervenor represent
ed by Hill, Robert, Hill & Price.
The object of the attack being
carried on by Mr.. Whitlow on be-
half of the plaintiffs is to prove
that there were not sufficient var
i'd signatures on the petitions to
warrant putting the measure be-
fore the people in the last election.
The mechanics of the attack are
to show that great many persons
were not at the time they signed
the petitions qualified electors en-
titled to sign such petitions; to
show that in many cases persons
who did sign the petitions did not
put down the information required
by the Constitution and Statutes of
the State. There is also indication
that some highly irregular meth
DDS were used in collecting names
on these particular petitions.
The case was filed and work
started before the election but be-
cause of the tremendous amount
of book work involved the matter
is not yet completed so that it can
be presented to the Superior Court
for its decision. The Superior Court
appointed William c. Elliott, an
other Phoenix attorney, as a spe-
cial master to hear the matter and
make finding of fact.
Mr.. Whitlow presents each OBJ
lection to particular petition or
signature, and in many cases there
are three of our objections taken
against an individual signature;

Today as you listen to the radio,
or read the paper, you are con-
stantly faced with some material
on the eVterans problem. Today,
more than ever, steps are being
made to correct these problems. In
/ the correcting and alteration of
some of the Veterans problems,
the assistance and cooperation of
the Veteran is needed.
AS a Negro veteran, your great
est success in the CT training pro-
gram is going to be governed by
the type of rtaining you select and
to the extent that you apply your
self.
Many of the better trades call
for extensive training. Those in
dividuals planning to train for
trades that require passing Board
before being trained, must be well
qualified. Often we charge that our
Boards are prejudiced, that they
make those minority groups re-
quirements higher, etc. These state
ments are questionable in that we
can find no facts to warrant such
a statement. We have facts that
tend to indicate that we have men
half trained complaining that the
Board will not pass them. In all
examinations before boards, you
will find that both written and
practical tests are given. To quail
fly you must pass both. The trained
craftsman not only knows how to
do a job, but knows why he does
it.
In Phoenix we are shortfo men
who know the how's and why's of
the following trades, and you can
be assured if some one trained in
the how's and why's of the follow
ing will be gainfully employed i'm
mediately in Phoenix:
Baking, brick laying, plumbing,
electricity, all types of welding,
barbering, painting, paper hanging,
tailoring and clothing and repair
alteration.
The Veterans Committee in our
organization is interested in getting
a list of the Veterans who are ELI
gible for training under the CT bill
to register with the office assistant,
giving the name of the trade that
they would be interested in train
ing for.
| It is realized that at the present
that there are not sufficient train
ing facilities.

Brewing Industry Of
Future Depends On
Retaining Good viii

The future of the brewing indus
try will be as good as the brewers
make it, H. J. Charles, President
of the United States Brewers Foun-
datiofl, Inc, told the foundation's
members in his annual report.
'This Industry has a splendid flu
ture before it if individual and col
lective activity is planned and exc
cuted so as to retain the regard of
the public for our product" he
said. "Our product-beer-iS well
regarded today"
But he warned that it is not
enough to make a good product;
that "the attitude of the public,
both consuming and non-consum-
ing, toward \our product is tre-
mendously influenced by the con-
ditions Under which sale to the con-
! sumer is made.
Eve advocate moderation, toler-
ance and temperance. 1t follows
that il BUR advocacy of moderation,
temperance and tolerance is to be
effective, if we are to achieve
public acceptance of those prin-
ciples for our business, we must
practice them. The exercise of
those virtues must come from with
in in order to give meaning and
vitality to their profession"
For the average consumer, who
may have difficulty in getting his
favorite brand of beer, Mr.. Charles
said that a more abundant supply
should be available in 1947, as the
few remaining restrictions are re-
moved and the few remaining
shortages are. overcome. Gain re-
StrictionS, except, rice and wheat,
he said, will surely come off by
March 1, 1947. Bottles and cans
will be available, in greater supply.
Labor problems will be overcome.
"The demand for beer exists. In
the absence of unforeseen difficult
ties, 1947 should be good year for
the brewing industry"
Restoration of competitive enter
prise-"the method of conducting
business which made ou rcountry
great and strong"-will contribute
to beers successful future, he said,
for:
Competition will be, as it has
always been, the very life of trade.
Competition protects the citizen,
the ultimate consumer. Competi-
ton guarantees the purchaser the
best merchandise at price COM
petitively established. No brewer
with a good product need fear
competition"
He continues:
"The only real threat to our busi-
ness is the threat of prohibition.
All other problems are problems
common to industry ngeneral. A
colution to those problems will be
found, however distressing or diff
ficult they may be from time to
time.
"The threat of prohibition, how
ever, is a continuing threat and
menace to this business. 1t must
be effectively combatted. 1t must
be engaged and dealt with ade-
quately before 1t is too late.
at is unthinkable that we as
members of society should fail to
do whatever is necessary to pro-
tect society, of which we are a
part, from the catastrophe of pro-
hibition. Prohibition presents a
challenge to our industry. Not alone
the challenge of survival, but the
challenge to protect the public
from the scourge, the plague which
prohibition is to the body polite"
