(peek! to The Brening World.) WASHINGTON, Nov. 11—Fifty- even million gallons of whiskey will f} be available for parched American throats when the wartime prohibition is ended by Presidential proclamation, Probably within two weeks. It Is estimated that the owners of the Whiskey stocks now in bond will Clean up $600,000,000 in profits, and possibly more, in the short time in- fi) tervening before constitutional Pro- hibition begins, Jan. 15. 1 ‘The lowest estimate is the liquor [il ‘will bring $20 per gallon on the aver- age, and even at that figure the con- sumers will pag gbout $1,140,000,000 for the stocks now in the warehouses, The last figures of the Internal Revenue Bureau show that there were in bond on Aug. 81 of this year 67,649,028 gallons of drinkable dis- tilled spirits of all descriptions, in- claqing brandy,’ gin, rum and whis- key. Since this estimate was pre- pared about half a million gallons have been withdrawn for export. |) ‘Whiskey has been in bond since the | Food Law prohibition of distilling ||) became effective Aug. 10, 1917, so |}, that all of these spirits are at least two years old and have suf- fered shrinkage from evaporation. Much of it is eight years old. It is | estimated that the evaporation has caused a shrinkage of 16 per cent., | hi) but making deduction on this basis, |} there ia still at least 57,000,000 gallons in bond, The present tax on liquor with- drawn from bond is $6.40 per gallon. |) ‘This is double any tax ever paid, as |} $3.20 was the prevailing! rate prior to | [| the cessation of distilling’ The Gov- |} ernment will receive $364,800,000 in |]! taxes from the last big “jag.” This is |}. much greater than Uncle Sam's rev- |} enue in the old days, when the tax ||! was only $1.10 per gallon-on whiskey and $1 per barrel on beer, the good |})) days of 16-cent highballs and 5-cent |) echooners. , ———— U. OF P. BARS J. H. MAURER. Cancels Un! sity Meeting He Was ||) Scheduled to Address. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 11.—Per- mission for a meeting at the Univer- city of Pennsylvania, at which James H. Maurer, President of the Pennsyl- vania Federation of Labor, was to deliver an address, was to-day can- celled by the university authorities, ‘The reason given is that the stu- dents who planned the meeting.had exceeded their authority and invited the general public. Provost Smith eaid in bis announcement: “Originally permission had been given to a small ‘group of students to have Mr. Maurer discuss with them certain phases of the labor movement. But since the students have posted placards not only in the university grounds but also over por- tions of Philadelphia, the gathering has begun to assume the proportions of a mass meeting. Under these cir- cumstances it was deemed best to cancel the meeting.” Maurer was the sponsor of a reso- |. lution passed by the State Federation favoring a general strike in the State. — $500,000 GIFTS IN WILL, $400,000 to Mre, Hridgham Left New York tn tions, PROVIDENCE, R.
