Use McNeil's Pain Exterminator—Ad BEER BOTTLING TO BE ALLOWED BY GOVERNMENT Brewery Pipes to Be Unsealed, Say U. S. Agents, in Court Hearing New York, April 24.—Coincident with an announcement by United States District Attorney Coffey that he had received no instructions from Washington to prosecute brewers distributing beer of 2 3-4 per cent, alcoholic content in violation of food conservation regulations promul gated by the internal revenue de partment, government counsel stated hero yesterday that the department had taken- steps to permit resump tion of beer bottling. Collectors throughout the country have been directed, it was stated, to unseal the locks on brewery pipe lines, which have remained idle since brewing was forbidden by Presidential proclamation, Decem ber 1 last. • Announced in Court , The two announcements * were made in federal court in the course of an argument on the government's I motion to dismiss tho brewers' suit to restrain official interference with the production of a 2 3-4 per cent, brew, alleged to be nonintoxicating.

The internal revenue department's reversal of its earlier attitude, which had ben passed on a ruling that beer of one-half qf one per cent or great er alcoholic content was intoxicat ing aricl so forbidden under the modified regulations effeotive early this year permitting production of "near-beer," was brought out dur ing the argument, before Judge A. N. Hand, of William D. Guthrie, jun ior counsel, with Elihu Root, for the United States Brewers' Association.
