Washington, Aug. 1. Moro thnn
2000 peoplo have applied to the In
ternal revenuo bureau for a Job un
der tho new undrlnkable freo nlcohol
law which goes into effect January 1,
next. It Is expected by tho commis
sioner of lnternnl rovenuo when tho
law was passed that nearly all the
alcohol to bo made under tho law
would come from four or five big
distilleries, which mnko nothing but
high wines, and that consequently
he would not have to Increase his
force very much to handle tho new
business' arising from tho use of
free alcohol In the arts and Indus
tries, but recent Information received
goes to show that this supposition
will probably not be realized.
The treasury department men In
tho South report that nenrly every
one of tho cane sugar mills and re
fineries nro mnking plnns to install
a distillery, and that, therefore, It Is
likely a consldernblo number, of men
will bo needed to watch the denntur
Izing process for tho government.
Tho beet sugar makers are also
reported to bo looking Into tho new
law with a view to going Into tho
alcohol business for tho purpose of
using p their present wnsto pro
ducts. Porto Rice sugar men nre
also said to have an eye upon ths
field promising a considerable In
crease In their revenues.
The treasury department reports
nre that some of tho sugnr men of
the south havo already mndo esti
mates to tho effect that they can
make alcohol at a cost of not more
than 10 cents a gallon, and the in
ternal revenuo bureau experts say If
tho sugar men enn do anything of
that kind they will havo the big dis
tilleries of the middlo west beaten
to a standstill, as they do not be
lieve grain distillers can compete at
any such price.
Thus, what was at first bollved to
bo a big benefit for those lnrgo dis
tilleries In what Is known as the
whisky trust promises to bring them
practically nothing. It Is thought In
tho treasury department that It will
requiro n pretty high grado of men
to represent tho government nt tho
