New York. The commercial name for the ti ji is the Distillers' Security Corporation. It controls more than a hundred distilleries, distributing houses, etc. The President of the trust is Julius Kessler. Mr.

is not greatly worried over Prohibition. He evidently believes it is coniMipr, for he says that his company is preparing for it and that if it does come, the trust will continue to have a big field in the production of alcohol for industrial purposes. Mr. Kessler says that at a small cost, prain distilleries can bo adapted tq the manufacture of denatured alcohol from molasses. If this is true, where does confiscation come in? Distilleries can go right on making money and breweries can easily turn their plants into canneries, pacl'i'ip houses, ice plants, etc.
