The Subcommittee on the Judiciary having under consideration the resolution directing the Committee 011 the Judiciary of the Senate to call for certain evidence and documents relating to charges made against the United States Brewers' Association and allied interests and to report the result of their investigation to the Senate, have concluded their duties.

The chairman appointed as a subcommittee to investigate the matters and things named in said resolution the following Senators: Overman (chairman), King, Wolcott, Nelson, and Sterling.

The resolution directing the committee to make this investigation is here printed in full, as follows:

Whereas Honorable A. Mitchell Palmer, Custodian of Alien Property, on or about September fourteenth made the following statement:

"The facts will soon appear which will conclusively show that twelve or fifteen German brewers of America, in association with the United States Brewers' Association, furnished the money, amounting to several hundred thousand dollars, to buy a great newspaper in one of the chief cities of the Nation; and its publisher, without disclosing whose money had bought that organ of public opinion, in the very Capital of the Nation, in the shadow of the Capitol itself, has been fighting the battle of the liquor traffic.

"When the traffic, doomed though it is, undertakes and seeks by these secret methods to control party nominations, party machinery, whole political parties, and thereby control the Government of State and Nation, it is time the people know the truth.

"The organized liquor traffic of the country is a vicious interest because it has been unpatriotic, because it has been pro-German in its sympathies and its conduct. Around these great brewery organizations owned by rich men, almost all of them are of German birth and sympathy, at least before we entered the war, has grown up the societies, all the organizations of this country intended to keep young German immigrants from becoming real American citizens.
