When the association was started it was for the purpose of protecting the brewers nst the demands of the Brewery Workmen’s Union and themselves against themselves. In the former case the asso- :iation spent between $40,000 and $50,000in aking up the Co-operative Brewery, | iction. largest bry for which the striking union men started in opposition to those brewers who would not | recognize the uni the In latter case the association 1 rge number of rules and reg ations 1o govern their business trans: tions, and the principal rule was that no should try to get another's patrons, and that the price of beer should be $5 a barrel, with an allowance of 50 cents to the drivers to spend with the saloon-keepers In spite of these rules and in spite of the fact that every member of the association was under a Lieavy cash bond to live up to the agreement more than one broke away quietly and violated the compact. Complaints were frequently made of these violations, but there was no open rupture in the ranks because two of the breweries, the National and Jackson, were fighting the workmen’s union. A month or six weeks ago, much to the surprise of all, the boycott on National and Jackson | beers was raised by the union. The a members believed that it wasa victory over the union workmen and a victory that had broken the back of the ion. In this they made a mistake, for y were simply being led into an am- bush and entered the trap without the least suspicion of the results. | These external troubles settled the brew- ers undertook to straighten out tleir in- ternal difficulties. The first move was to vrefer nst the California and Bro: s for cutting the price of steam beerin order to take trade away from the others. So we!l founded was the charge that about four weeks ago Mr. Fred- erick of the Jackson brewery tried to get the price of beer cut from the standard price, to $2, in order to crush the offenders out of existence. It a stormy meet- ing, but the conservative element pre- vailed and secured the appointment of a committee to investigate the charges against the accused brewers. | That committee was co am Garms of the Mi Thomas Thode of the Union brewery, Mr. Volz of the National, C. B. Stone, repre- senting the Syndicate (limited) and Henry Wreden of the Washington. Atyesterday’s meeting of the associa- tion all sixteen breweries were represented by one or more members of each firm. The meeting had hardly been called io order before the circus began. It started with the committee’s report thatthe ac- made that they had been cutting below | the standard price, notwithstanding their protestations of innocence. The commit- tee reported that while both breweries were guilty the California brewery most persistency. According to the report these breweries did not cut to any fixed rate, but went into the reduction on the cut-throat principle. In the case of patrons where they felt se- cure the standard rate of $5 was main- | tained. To others beer was sold for $4. and to still others whose patronage was | very uncertain the beverage was sold for | 0. These were all net prices. The | only difference between the two breweries was in the amount of beer sold at the ciit rates, but both were equally guilty of vio- lating the agreements so far as the princi- ple was concerned. | Four of the largest breweries, the Na- | tional, Jackson, Milwaukee and Washing- | ton, and the syndicate representing the Philadelphia, Chicago, United States, Wil- lows and South San Francisco, openly de- clared for adopting the recommendation of the committee and making a grand cut in the price of beer. To this proposition ten of the smaller breweries protested. The thought spread among the conservative element that the breweries which preferred the cut were represented on the investigating commit- t with the exception of Thode of the | n. One who was present said that the row thatfollowed beggared description. Every- | body denounced eacn other, and in his | language, it was the hottest meeting this | | siae of the Arctic circle. J. Rohr of the Broadw and Detman and Peters of the California sat by and for | awhile maintained a judicious silence. | When they got an opportunity, so it is | i, neither made an attempt to refute truth of the charges nor deny the | truth of the committee’s findings. It is reported that they said in substance: L the committee has found that we are | we will promise never to offend but don’t cut the price of beer.” | others would not have it that way. | r blood was up, and they wanted to no tter who was hit. After a| of ngling the fight began to | 1ssume something like definite lines. On | avoring a big cut were the four and the syndicate, repre- ze breweries. On the arrayed the remaining ten | t of which are rated as ms. The latter knew that | such a fight would mean the crushing out | of their business, for while the big brew- { eries, with plenty of money in bank, could stand 4 long siege of cheap beer, produced at a loss of irom $1 to $2 a barrel, the ller would go the wall. t last Mr. McLaughlin of the National threw a bombshell into the cut-rate forces that set them all to thinking. He said that to jump upon the offending breweries and attempt to crush them out by under- selling them would result in the final su- premacy of the Brewery Workmen’'s Union that the association has been fight- ing so long, and at a cost of $43,000, and a probable general loss to the breweries of | several hundred thousand dollars. He spoke with much feeling of the long fight nst the union, the numerous boycotts endured and the expensive satisfaction en- The w Brewery which was started by the striking union brewery workmen. He said, so it is stated, that the associa- ciation fell neatly into a trap set by the union brewery workers. “If you don’t believe it,” he said, *‘read Tue Cary of December 22.

Justices of the Peace Are Having a Little War Among Themselves. As a result of a meeting of the Justices of the Peace heid yesterday knives are being sharpened in anticipation of a fight over the office of Presiding Justice and the- incumbent of the position seems to be in a place generally designated as between his satanic majesty and the vast deep.- When the meeting was called to order it was generally understood among the Justices that Justice Barry would step down and permit the election of a successor, who would hold the added honor and add tional §25 per month attached to the pos tion for the next six months. Justice Groezinger was slated for the place, as his vote had elected Barry at the time when that Justice first took office and it was understood that he would step out gracefully and give his confrere a chance. At the last moment he declined to do so, however, and declared that inasmuch as articles reflecting on him had been pub- lished in the newspapers he would wait until he was ousted if those who desired | his] place were able to accomplish such an end. As it was evident that a tie vote was the best that could be hoped for Justice Groe- zinger moved for an adjournment and Justice Carroll seconding it the gathering dispersed without any action. Justice Groezinger expressed himself freely about the matter after the meeting, “Justice Barry has deliberaiely thrown me down,” he said, *‘and I am out now to get him out of that job by any fair means that I can employ. When we held our first meeting I was asked if I wanted to be Pre- siding Justice, and replied that as this was my first experience in a political office I would prefer to let some one else go in, and take my turn later on. ‘“At the solicitation of Judge Carroll, who seemed to be looking after Barry’s in- terests, I cast my vote for Barry and he was elected, the understanding being that I would come in for the honors and increased salary later on. t4'‘The understanding was also that Judge Carroll, the only Democrat, should, in consideration of helping out Barry, be given the cream of the marriage business, which formsa no inconsiderable portion of a Justice’s emoluments. But, as I said before, Bnrr{ has thrown me down and has also broken faith with Jjudge Carroll. “In the natural course of events a new Presiding Justice should have been elected on the first of the year, and we naturally supposed that Barry would give way. was astonished, however, when he came topme and said that for certain reasons he would like to hold the position until March. Itold him that he was asking a ereat deal to expect to stay in office fox eizhteen months out of twenty-four, par- ticularly as he had been in the place eight months out of his previous term. *“Then he agreed to resign and allow his snccessor to be appointed and said that he would vote for me if I wanted the place. I supposed that the matter was all settled and expected to bave plain sailing when we met to-day. When the subject was broached in the meeting, however, he said that in view of the fact that his conduct in oftice had been questioned he would wait ' | until he was voted out. | to do that we adjourned without taking action. The matter will not end here, | however, and there may be a lively battle over the office yet. “The matter of marriage business is also |a ground for complaint against Barry. | Though in consideration of receiving the presiding justiceship he agreed to give up | the marriages he has in fact grabbed the | majority of them. He has had 160, T have | had but fifly-seven, while Just:ce Carroll, | who was promised the bulk of them, has | oniy had two. “This means a difference of several hun- | dred dollars to those who were left out. | We may have some developments by Monday next and perbaps after that Mr. | Barry will not be Presiding Justice.” e HUMBOLDT'S WEALTH.

But the completion of the Nicaragua canal, in which our people are highly interested, will open up a cheap mode of transporiation. We will then have the Eastern market. We can place the best redwood lumber in the markets of the East and the Mississippi Valley at figures that will revolutionize prices, and besides this redwood will win favor there asa building and finishifg lumber because it is | Tess linble to fire and it takes a superior polish | that makes it & most attractive material for interior finish.

I know of no place on the Pacific Coast the material interests of waich would be so bene- ficially affected by this proposed construction as Humboldt County, and we look forward to it with the brightest expectations. In the meantime those interested capitalists who can foresee these conditions which I kave indicated, ate without much_public attention acquiring control of these immense lumber felds.
