Oregon still Coors beer dry
Senate stalls measure permitting sales
By Brooks Dareff
Of th* Emwaid
The Adolph Coors Co. appears to have
wasted the money it spent earlier this month
flooding all of Oregon’s daily newspapers with
advertisements, which extolled the purity of its
beer, and denouncing the deprivation Oregon
beer drinkers are suffering at the hands of state
legislators.
Oregon is, and will remain, the only
western state where Coors beer is not sold.
Last Tuesday, the Senate voted 20-8 to
refer to the Business and Affairs Committee a
measure that would have enabled the Colorado
brewery to distribute its beer in Oregon. The
Senate action means the measure will either
die in committee or emerge in some new guise
further up the road.
Oregon AFL-CIO President Irv Fletcher
believes that Coors’ efforts of the last several
months culminated in just one battle in a war
they are waging against opponents. He says
Coors knew they would lose, but that they
wanted to fleece out their adversaries. “They’ll
punish those people who voted against them,"
Fletcher says.
If it had passed, the measure would have
reversed an Oregon statute requiring all
packaged malt beverages to be pasteurized.
Coors uses a filtration process.
What lobbyists and legislators could not
s.omach, however, according to Sen. Mike
Thorn (D-Baker), who is the measure’s
spokesperson, was the company's alleged anti
labor practices and right-wing political
activities.
Because public health officials decided
not to become involved in the issue —
reportedly because they are more concerned
with the pitfalls of alcoholism than with the
merits of Coor’s filtration process, says State
Health Division spokesperson Donna Clark —
evidence regarding Coors’s health dangers was
limited, as was debate on the Senate floor.
Thorn responded to an accusation that
asbestos was used in the filtration process
with assurances that the hazardous substance
hadn’t been used since 1977.
Evidence presented against the filtration
process showed that Coors had a higher
bacteria count than beer currently distributed
in Oregon, according to Sen. Margie Hen
driksen (D-Eugene).
Hendriksen denied that the bill’s op
ponents were politically motivated, but said
later that since Thorn elected to raise the
political issue, she decided to counter by citing
Coors anti-woman and anti-labor practices.
These alleged practices have prompted a
nationwide boycott headed by former Coors
employee David Sickler. Among groups par
ticipating in the boycott is Earth First!, an en
vironmental group organizing a logging road
blockade in Southern Oregon’s Siuslaw Na
tional Forest.
Fletcher says no environmental groups
participated in the lobbying effort in Salem,
probably because the measure had, he says, so
little chance of passing
Thorn admits that company founder
Adolph Coors was anti-labor and involved in
various right-wing causes, but claims the com
pany has mended its ways and should not be
