re v LIQUOR MONOPOLY HIT

Senate Group Hits Hoarding, Sees Rationing Of Profits.

By THOMAS L. STOKES Scripps-Howard Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.—While the nation’s attention has been absorbed by the war, something approaching a liquor monopoly—if not an actual one—has been created by major distilling corporations which, in some cases, have exploited the whisky shortage to their profit. The story is told in a report prepared for the special senate judiciary subcommittee investigating the alcoholic beverage industry. The report is a scathing indictment of the liquor industry and it also is critical of government agencies. The report found “that many ac‘tivities and practices of the entire liquor industry are reprehensible and that the war has encouraged certain members of the industry to disregard completely the public welfare.

“In certain instances the federal departments and agencies have shown little concern. over the problem and their lack of intelligence and forthright approach has served

“Profits Rationed” .. - Tt says that while “successful, fair and equitable rationing has been practiced in some instances, “in the case of some of the more impor-

rationed.” It shows how companies in the

at higher prices.

“It. is obvious,” the report says,|

“that the large distillers wish to re+ tain substantial. stocks of aged whiskies in their bonded - warehouses ‘until after the war, so that they will be in better position to command higher prices and realise greater profits at the expense of an unsuspecting public, whom ‘he liquor industry had hoped would Le educated into the belief that the ‘alleged’ whisky shortage was not the fault of the liquor industry.”

Score “Misrepresentation” The report branded as “a misrepresentation of the facts” an «dvertisement published in November and December, 1943, entitled “a frank statement of the whisky shortage” which said there. were then about 203,000,000 gallons of whisky available. Instead, the report said, there were about 350,000,000 gallons available. Statistics are cited to show that the “Big Four” distillers—Seagram, Ltd, National Distillers Products Corp., Schenley Distillers Corp., and Hiram Walker - Gooderham and Worts, Ltd. —had on hand on Dec. 31, 1843, a total of 127,066,628 proof gallons of whisky more than on Dec. 31, 1939. This had been acquired from outside sources, including 24 distilleries purchased in the four years. During the same four years, these four companies produced 60 per cent of the whisky manufactured in this country. The Big Four, the report says, “own or control a substantial portion of the liquor industry in the United States, and recently these four companies have begun to acquire substantial interests in both the wine and beer industrigs,

William Gainey ‘Receives Thrills "On Visit Home |

“A thrill every minute” is the .way Lt. Cmdr. Willlam W.

PERIL TO LABOR CITED BY DEWEY

Workers, Credited With Aid To Victories, Warned of Peace Chains. -

ALBANY, N: Y, Aug. 19 (U. P.). — Governor Thomas E. Dewey warned today that if wartime restrictions on labor remain in the hands of the government when peace comes they can “destroy the institution of a free American labor movement and totally end the rightig of collective bargaining.” In a Labor day proclamation, the Republican presidential nominee praised the accomplishments of labor and said the “stirring news of victory after victory on the fighting fronts is cause for pride not only in the theater of war but on the home front.” “Let us make sure—by not pausing for a moment in our efforts to provide the fighting fronts with all} sor they need and more—that by next Labor day there will be an end to the wartime restrictions which have been imposed on labor,” he added. “These restrictions, if left in the hands of the government, could destroy the institution of a free American labor movement and totally end the right of collective bargaining.” Praises New York Labor New York state, the Governor said, is especially proud of labor's patriotism, emphasizing that since Pearl Harbor “there has not been a single major strike in New York, not one serious interruption in production.” “The fruits of this peace on the

It urged the justice department, clamations are issued more than a| Dale where she was born, Mrs. Per-.

which is investigating possible anti-| trust law violations, to take “the

" necessary steps to prevent the!

formation of a monopoly in the! liquor industry.” The report charged the treasury department with laxity in enforcing statutes against interlocking directorates in the liquor industry,

properly enforced the law “the liquor industry would not be as much controlled by the Big Four as it is today.” The report also called on OPA to draft regulations to force out aged whiskies. It held that the present severe self-imposed rationing by the industry is contrary to the public interest, unjustified, and a violation of the spirit, if not the letter, of the Sherman anti-trust act. The report insinuated that the industry had capitalized upon the war need for production of industrial alcohol to acquire small distilleries “and removed them from competition under the guise of wishing to increase production of industrial alcohol for the war program.”
