Several more have been reconstructed since the first of the year. One brewery estimates it can produce 1,000,000 barrels in 12 months after legalization; another between 250,000 and 400,000 bar- rels; another about 350,000 bar- rels. In 1916 these two centers produced about 8,600,000. A brewer who would not be quoted estimated New York and Brooklyn might make 4,000,000 barrels in the year following legalization. Philadelphia had 43 breweries in 1918, only 7 as the year ended; Patterson and Newark, N. J., had 23, only 4 as the year ended. Milwaukee: The city’s: eries are to operate at about 60 ‘percent of their one-time capacity. In 1916 nine Milwaukee breweries produced about 4,000,000 bar- rels. They hired 6,670 men and paid about $5,195,000 wages. Eight breweries will be able to op- erate to varying extents after le- galization, and the brewery work- ers’ union estimates 4,500 men and women will be directly employed by them.

The Industrial Club of St, Louis estimates 70 percent of this capacity will be available aft- er -legalization. New Orleans: Three breweries ;Stand ready to manufacture legal beer. Louisiana produced about 500,000 barrels in pre-prohibition days, but probably will produce considerably less this year. San Francisco: West coast has~--almost~- doubled since prohibition, and breweries expect a correspondingly larger business. California’s production averaged 1,350,000 barrels for eight years prior to 1919. Breweries ready to operate on the coast are: California, 6; Wash- ington, 4; Oregon, 2; Nevada, 3; other far western states, about 7.
