BURST LIKE A BOMBSHELL
RISE IN BEER PRICE HOTEL BUSINESS AFFECTED (By Telegraph.—Press Association) WELLIN' '.TON, Saturday The rise in the price of beer and the abolition of bouse “shouting” together with the boycott of hotels by sections of organised workers is apparently adversely affecting hotel patronage. It was quite noticeable last, night. Friday, being usually a good night. In one bar the clientele last evening were mostlv members of the “white collar brigade.” One of the barmen, who was drawn into one of the many discussions going on said he did not think an announcement of the outbreak of war would have caused more discussion in the bars on Tuesday when it became known that beer was to he dearer and “shouting” was to go. The announcement burst like a bombshell.”
