Written representations were made to the state department by the amhnssadors and ministers from seven countries. The Czechoslovakian minister in his letter to the State department asserted that brewery workers in Milwaukee declined to unload 15 carloads of malt shipped from Czechoslovakia. Other shipments were similarly tied up and importers were alleged to have cancelled several orders be. cause of the brewery workers ban. The action to which the foreign governments object had its real inception in a letter written in the latter part of 1035 Chester by the American Farm Bureau Feder ation, to the Brewery Workers union, calling attention to the large imports of foreign malt. Following receipt of the letter, the Brewery Workers union issued an order under which its members have refused to handle barley or malt coming from foreign countries. 10-ce- nt j low-co- st low-inco- 10-ye- ar low-co- st long-rang- e, 3 d u, Child Labor Amendment NEW YORK.
