MUST NOT SELL TO SPEAK-EASIES IH he Hrewnr Is Uuilty of That Of. tense, Hereafter He t'su Expect No lluurtyr Iroin the Liquor League Final Meeliutf Is to Be Held Kelt Friday. M hcu Action Will Ue Taken. Next iSaturduy morning the papers may possibly be called upon to nn noun a boycott on one or more of the local breweries. The retull dealers, ac cording to the statement of one of the leading members of the Protective League, are determined upon taking final action at next Friday night's meet ing, and in his opinion' nothing can re strain them from declaring a "boycott on any brewer who refuses by thut time to comply with their demand that the supplies be cut off from unlicensed places. The present movement Is a county af fair and as it would undoubtedly be an extremely costly experiment to stand out against the league in these days of red-hot competition, It Is not likely that the meeeting next Friday will be culled upon to order a boycott, but such a thing is not outside the possibilities. The E. Robinson brewery people are the only ones who, up to the last meeting, hud complied with the demand or paid any heetl to the league's circular. Whether or not the other breweries Intend to es cape the boycott will be known when the league's secretary is heard from Friday night. Before the league adopted these means of crippling the great foe of the licensed deuler, the speak-easy. It took every precaution against possible failure. Two of the big foreign brew ing concerns, one of them Hullentlnes of Newark, and the other a Western firm, were consulted aiuS induced to ugrce to send on u sullicleiit number of teams and wagons to furnish a dully supply of beer for the whole county in case the boycott was declared. The stat organization was Interested in the tight and an understanding was ar rived at to the effect that If these for eign brewers do not live up to their agreement, their beer would be boy cotted throughout the whole state. Thus a supply was assured In case the local brewers banded together to fight the league. This Is hardly neces sary now that one of these local brewers has acceded to the league's demands, but the foreign brewers will neverthe less be held to their agreement ax an extra fortification. Should the remuln llig locul brewers neglect to acceed to the league's demands before next Fri day night, the developments will doubtlessly be well worth watching. - - Pillsbury Flour mills have a capac ity of 17,500 barrels a day.
