July 13.—()— What, with the exception of the 18th amendment, was termed as the most! severe setback to the industry “that made Milwaukee famous,” was struck yesterday when without any warning, U. 8. Prohibition Commissioner Dor- an ordered brewers here to cease the manufacture of “12 per cent” malt tonics. The mandate, delivered through E. C. Yellowly, prohibition enforcement officer at Chicago, stated that, effec- tive immediately malt tonics must contain a minimum of 18 per cent solids derived from malt and not more than 2 per cent alcohol by volume. This preparation, the order added, must be bottled and distributed un- der the same restrictions as now gov- ern the “12 per cent” product. All such tonic made on or before July 11 may be marketed in the usual man- ner, but manufacture of it must cease at once, according to the order. Brewers today said that this mea the destruction of thousands of dol- lars worth of stuff now in the course of preparation. They also pointed out the order virtually junks thou- sands of dollars of machinery a quired by three of the leading bre eries here for the manufacture of the “12 per cent” product. Aside from these immediate effects, it was said the order will deprive Mil- waukee of an industry, earning more than $2,000,000 a year.
