SEEK TO HALT BANS ON BEES Michigan Beer Distributors Seek To End War Os States Lanning, Mich., Mar. 4.- (U.R) Bf<“r dlmributom of Michigan took tholr plea to end the MichlganIndiuiiu beer fend dli.-eiiy to the Ikioxler eapltol today. A delegation of SF* wholesalers last night named tour men to represent them at Indianapolis after the Michigan liquor control commission announced it had no alternative but to enforce the mandatory law against states discriminating against Michigan beer. "Our hands are tied," chairman Edward W. McEarland told the delegation, "March, 14 still Is March 14 and the ban goes Into effect that day." At a commission suggestion, the Michigan representatives will appeal to Indiana to consider a suggestion made by Attorney General Raymond W. Starr shortly before the ban was announced last December. Starr proposed that the Indiana attorney general uphold a ruling by the Hoosier liquor board. Which

would cancel or partially nullify the discriminatory section of Indiana's law. The opinion would I be at least a temporary compromise until the general assembly II meets, he said. The men said they would preI sent the same plea to the Indiana ‘boar das they laid before the Mlchlgng commission, that the han would mean "financial ruin” for many distributors whoso bus- ■ Iness consisted mostly of Indiana l beers. : Walter Berry, Kalamazoo, a ' member of the delegation, suit! 65 ■ per cent of his business was bandl- ' Ing Indiana beer and that he would I be forced to dose because he ■ could not get Michigan beer to re- ■ place Indiana beer. "All the Michigan breweries ' have distributors in that territory and because of the famous name of the Indiana beer I handle I i could not get another out-of-state "brand without heavy financial 1 , loss,” he complained. i The distributors admitted people wouldn't quit drinking beer if [they couldn’t get the Indiana pro1 duct, but said only rival whole- ■ salers In their territories would benefit by the increased sale. I ■ Some estimated that as many as • 1.000 persons would be out of jobs if the ban became effective permI anently. i i Although Indiana is only one of ; 10 states against which .Michigan i has applied bans, it is chiefly con-

■ corned, for 2(11,000 barrels of In-1 . dlami beer were shipped Into this I state last year. Michigan brewers' trade in Indiana Is much less, but recently Gov.! |m. Clifford Townsend announced i his state had banned all Michigan [ alcoholic beverages liquor, beer: ■ and wine. The Michigan liquor commission Tuesday threatened to do the same thing If the "silly" matter weren’t ’ cleared up soon, but has taken no i official action. o FORMER LOCAL — Kt' KKOV ONrai | lan church here.
