Brewers of the New York district took action today in tended to speed court determination of their claim that beer ef two and three fourths pr cent alcoholic content may be produced without violating the food con serration regulations, when two of their number began distribution of a brew of the strength specified in barrels bearing labels describing it aa a non-intoxicating beverage. l tie aegs, aent out without revenue stamps, which the collector.
