CHORUS RISES TO ROAR FOR CHEAPER BEER Ten-Ounce Stein Can Be Sold for Nickel at Profit Wholesalers Say. BREWERIES ARE TARGET Retailers ‘Pass Buck' Higher Up in Attempt to Hush Clamor. Thi* is the second of three storie* on beer prices in Indianapolis. BY ARCH STEINEL Timn Staff Writer Ten-ounce steins of beer can be sold at a fair margin of profit for 5 cent* a stein in Indianapolis. The distributors and wholesalers say this is possible. The local brewery officials admit that it will come. Even today, with the wholesale cost of local beer at sl6 a barrel, retailers can sell 16-ounce steins for 10 cents instead of twelve ounces, or two 12-ounce steins for 15 cents. Retailers point out that local beer is sold at sl6 a barrel, despite the fact that it does not go through an importer, who receives a cut of $2 a barrel from foreign beers. C ost sl6 a Barrel But foreign beers are bought in the states in which they are made for sl2 a barrel. By the time the beer reaches Indianapolis, and the state tax and importer s cut are paid, the foreign beer costs the wholesaler sl6 a barrel, or the same price, approximately, which the retailer pays the local brewery for its beer. Now the retailer points out, if the local brewery sold its beer to him at the price of sl2 a barrel, as foreign beers are sold to wholesalers of this city, that a general scaling down of prices eventually would reach the consumer, so that a large 5-cent growler would be a reality. Examining the comparative profit in beer sold today by an Indianapolis brewery and the profit if that same beer sold at sl2 a barrel to the retailer, one finds this: Bartender Blank has a four-barrel-a-day business. He pays $64 for his four barrels of beer. He pays an average of $4 a day rent, $1.60 for ice, $lO a day for salaries, $1 for heat and light a day, $1 for his licenses and bond. This totals $80.60. Profit is SSO He daily sells those four barrels in twelve-ounce steins for 10 cents and reaps $132. His gross profit, exclusive of payment on equipment or interest on his investment or the lean winter months, is SSO a day. In turn, if Bartender Blank paid but sl2 a barrel for his beer, he could gross, in profit $14.60 a day at the rate of 5 cents for ten-ounce steins. If he charged 15 cents for two steins of twelve ounces each, his gross profit would be $28.40 a day, or he could give his customers six-teen-ounce steins for 10 cents and gross a profit of $34.60 daily. Profit figures and estimates of revenue from a barrel of beer are taken by The Times from the schedules of breweries on what a barrel of beer should produce. Retailers complain of these schedules and say that from one-half to a gallon of beer is lost at the tap and through serving. Breweries contend that beer waste depends on the bartenders and equipment. Bartender Gives Views In dealing with Bartender Blank, it must be remembered that The Times refers to a whole barrel of beer of thirty-one gallon capacity. The major portion of the beer sold in the city is from half barrels, capacity of fifteen to sixteen gallons. But the local brewery's price on half barrels is on the same ratio as for a barrel—sß for the half-bar-rel and sl6 for the barrel. Bartender Blank, when questoned why a SSO daily profit on four kegs of beer is necessary, retorts with a medley of answers: First —He pays too much for his beer. Second—The NR A schedule forces him to hire more help. Must ‘'Get His" Third —He make hay while the sun shines to pay his S3OO yearly tax to the state. S2O to the federal government, pay on his new equipment, and take care of the lean winter months, when beer-drinking drops off and his rent still must go on. But Blank's critics —and they are in the beer business—charge that the brew he buys from a local brewery, if sold in bigger steins at a less margin of profit, would gross more in the end. in that Blank would sell more beer.

AGREEMENT AT LAST REACHED ON COAL CODE Final Draft Will Be Laid Before Operators for Signatures Today. 40-HOUR WEEK FIXED ! Provides Minimum Prices, Recognizes Right to Organize. BY H. O. THOMPSON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Sept. 16— Final draft of the long-awaited soft ,coal code was laid before mine operators for signature today. General Hugh ! S. Johnson, recovery administrator, expected them to sign promptl\. He ; hoped President Roosevelt w'ould be ! able to promulgate the code toI night. Conferees representing operators, labor and the NRA reached an agreement on the code late Friday j night. The accord ended weeks of bickering that have hampered the NRA program and led to fresh bloodshed in the coal fields. It came at expiration of the deadline set by the President for completion of a code. Signature of operators—the last step before the code goes to the White House for presidential approval—was not expected to take long. The major operators were represented on the committee which agreed to the code’s terms.

Minimum Prices Fixed “Unquestionably, w'e will get a code after a meeting of operators today,” Johnson said wearily, after working with mine and union leaders until 2 a. m. The code in final form provides for fixing of minimum prices. Prescribes a maximum forty-hour work week. Sets basic minimum wages for underground workers ranging from $3.75 to $5.63 in sixteen districts. Recognizes right of miners to organize. Creates regional and national boards to govern the industry and settle labor disputes. It becomes effective the second Monday after presidential approval. Again Meets Delay Johnson had hoped for action qn the code by operators Friday night. This was "delayed by further negotiations over the wage agreements between operators and the United Mine Workers. The wage contracts are to accompany the code. Johnson said signing of the code was not necessarily contingent on completion of the wage contracts, but he was anxious to “clean them up at one blow.” NRA officials blamed a group of West Virginia, Kentucky and Virgnia operators for the delay on the wage contracts. The administration dashed to a hotel conference at 1 a. m., threatening to keep the negotiators in session all night. The meeting broke up, however, at 2 a. m. “It would be cruelty to animals to keep them going any longer,” Johnson said, himself appearing very weary. Retains Price Provisions The new code retains the minimum price provisions contained in the code drafted by NRA a week ago. It forbids sale of coal at less than “fair market prices,” to be determined by regional marketing agencies and subject to government review. The provision for a fiat maximum forty-hour week replaces a plan for a thirty-two-hour*week for twentysix weeks and fort;'-hour week for twenty-six weeks thereafter. Hours of work may be shortened if a majority of workers at a mine desire to share work with unemployed men. Under the code the NRA will study practicability of shortening hours and making further adjustments in wages. Representatives of operators and miners will meet with NRA officials on Jan. 5. 1934. to consider what changes should be made.
