Tho supply on bind, made plethoric bv a tremendously Increased envntcnev output within the Hst three months, will Inst about three jears. It was estimated tod i This figure represents tho consensus of opinion among distillers, whose exact stocks tiro be. lng compiled by Government giURera under Internal rtceniin Collector Lederer manv to losi: i:mii.oymi:t Just what will happen when tho Impor tant whisky making Industry of I'hllaiiel phla and Its environs Is halted suddenly Is problematical. Regulations covering the op eratlon of the law aa regards tho in inufac turo of alcohol for Industrial purpoes are being awaited from Washington at tho Ted cral Building. At any rate,. hundreds of men will bo thrown out of work and the big plants will cease operation. Proprietors of distilleries, accepting philosophically what the future holds, will close the producing divisions of their plants The will sell their stocks They will wait for the end of the war The Government will not exercise lt prerogative of seUIng tho htoren of whisky for the alcohol content, according to the general opinion, because of the cjcpeno In volved In denaturing the liquid Neither will the beverngo distillers convert their plants Into Industrial alcohol factories . that mould necessitate new equipment The dls tlllerles will be Idle DISTILLKIl SEnS INCONVKNir.-VCi: "The effects In Peunsjlvanla cannpt be absolutely determined," said Hdvvard T riemlng. secretary of the I'ennslvnnla Dis tillers and Wholesalers' Assoclitlon Hut tho following fncts are perliips accurate "While Pcnnsjlvanla distillers were the first to propose to close their distilleries during the war to conserve the grain sup ply, they nevertheless feel that the law will work a great Inconvenience and some hardship In Its drastic compulsions "The result of clo'lng distilleries shuts tho doors on several thousand emplojCB and throws them out of work It will re suit In a ery large depreciation In value of distillery properties Most distilleries are built In isolated or country sections, and therefore are not easily turned to manufacturing or other Industrial uses. The result to tho consuming public will almply be n great Inconvenlece and nn advanced cost for its whisky. It does not necessarily deprive the consumer of whisky, as there Is a sulllclent stock In bond to last about two jears Hut tho enormous high war tax placed on whisky by tho rev enue measure now pending may make the Belling price so high that It will eliminate any great profit to the distillers Taxed at J3 20 per gallon with tho added fixed charges for storage. Insurance, cartage, hell ing expense and management, will put the cost of whisky to about $5 pet gallon There Is little doubt among tho distillers thai the high tax will prevent anj abnormal profits In Us sale "The contention on the part of some that Whisky distilleries could bo turned Into dis tilleries for manufacturing commercial al cohol Is impractical Alcohol distilleries consume an average of 15,000 bushels of grain dally In the manufacture of alcohol, while whisky distilleries consume nn av erage of only COO bushels of grain per day when running. Alcohol distilleries run all the year around: whisky distilleries run about three to four months In tho spring and two to three months In the winter, or an average of six months per sear. "The construction of alcohol distilleries Is vastly different from that of whisky distilleries The cost of changing a whisky distillery In order to manufacture commer cial alcohol Is so great that It would be unprofitable. The competition of a small distillery manufacturing less than 2000 gallons of alcohol per day with an nlcohol distillery manufacturing 60,000 gallons per day Is so great than no whisky distillery can be changed Into an alcohol distillery and manufacture alcohol without loss ' Distillers generally throughout the State have bowed with a spirit nf willingness to the mandates of the CJov eminent In the law preventing the further use of grains In dis tilling spirits for beverage purposes They purpose to cheerfully obey that law, but they firmly believe that It will result In a great many Illicit distilleries " man rmcES inevitable "We estimate that there Is three or four years' supply on hand," bald E. A. Johnson, office manager of J. A. Dougherty's Sons, 1136 North I'ront street, "Tho June and July output became tremendous when the distiller realized what was coming, but with the end of the manufacture In sight, the production has fallen off until It Is about normal again. "High prices may be looked for. Whisky aelllnff now for $1.26 will be as high as 15, I fully believe. The suggestion that tho Government will scire the stocks and un dertake to obtain the alcohol Is not sound when It Is considered that such a process would cost the Government about four times as much as tho present price of alcohol " Prediction that the anti-whisky law would result In a temporarily sluggish whisky market was made by an official of the Btewart Distilling Company, 25t South Third street. "We look for dull times for seven or tight months," he said. "The effect of the toppage of the manufacture in Itself will not be high prices, but the extra tax cer tainly would result lit increases correspond ing to the amount of the tax. There Is no jrdleatlon that distillers, not already iu1nnr1 with annaratus for maklni? alcn. rft , hoi (or industrial purposes will go Into that -& 'business.
