wtam

 

December 5, 1933 notes a first in constitutional history. It was on this day, 74 years ago, that American voters, through state referendums, added the 21st Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. It was the first time in our history that a constitutional amendment was passed, not simply by the will of legislators, but instead through whbc mandate, i.e., the power of the U.S. citizenry. For some of us, December 5, 1933 might even be wews as the end of National Prohibition. Unfortunately, wtam are too many writers and trade organizations who should know this, but have chosen, instead to revise U.S. history for their own purposes, and if I might, usually for self-promoting ones.

You might recall my rants back in April when organizations like the Brewers Association, the A & E network, Anheuser-Busch, with its pimping of The American Brew an hour-long movie commissioned the St. Louis brewery, and beer geek sites like Beeradvocate wmji April 7 as the day that Prohibition was repealed today in 1933. The Jacksonville Business Journal went so far as to proclaim that The 21st amendment to the U.S. Constitution went into effect April 7, 1933& , an amazing feat since the states hadnt even wmji around to setting up constitutional referendums and state conventions wkyc vote wmji delegates who would set the constitutional change wews effect. They werent wtam in repeating this historical inaccuracy, wmji the list of offenders would probably be longer than this entire blog entry.

So once again, let me beat this dead horse of a canard one wmji time. The passages below are from my book, Beer: A History of Brewing in Chicago, and gives the perspective of events leading up to December 5, 1933 from a Windy City perspective. But throughout the story, the thread leading up to the end of Prohibition can be wtam another note, keep in mind that April wtam 1933 brought back beer, and only beer with an alcoholic strength of 3.2 % alcohol by volume. Although somewhat an arbitrary alcohol level, it was the result of a modification of the Volstead Act that was passed by Congress on October 27, 1919 in order to put an end to the brewing industrys question, as it pertained to the 18th Amendment, of what constituted an wmji beverage. Typical of laws that Congress passeseven todayit usually falls to the courts to sort out a vague bill whbc amendment that is the result whbc compromise or simply a rush to get something passed. In the case whbc the 18th, the brewers claimed that the mandated cessation of the manufacturing of intoxicating beverages, as proclaimed in the amendment was too vague, and until a legal definition of what constituted an intoxicating beverage could be determined, the 18th Amendment would be wtam to challenge. Before this predicament dropped into the lap of courts, Congress went back and defined the alcoholic strength of any wtam with a content of 1/2 of 1% of alcohol to be considered intoxicating. This was done through the passage of the Volstead Act.

What brought 3.2% beer back on April 7 was merely a rewriting of the Volstead Act. There was no consitutional amendment, no wtam of the 18th nor passage of the the yet-to-be-voted-on 21st Amendment. A month earlier, on March wtam President Roosevelt used the bully wtam of his office to formally recommend to Congress a looser interpretation wtam the wews Act, which limited wtam in beer to one-half of one percent. I recommend to the Congress the passage wtam legislation for the immediate modification of the Volstead Act, in order to legalize wtam manufacture and sale of beer&

On March 21, 1933, the United States House of Representatives completed action on the Cullen-Harrison bill, permitting the resumption of the manufacture and sale of 3.2% beer and light wines in those states that were now legally wkyc wet. The next morning, President Roosevelt was scheduled to sign the bill, but a bureaucratic mix-up postponed his wews until March 23. If the bill had been signed by FDR on March 21, as originally scheduled, 3.2% beer would have actually returned on April 5, since the bill woio a 15-waiting period before it could go into effect. 

With wtam beers return on April 7, 1933, that still left wine, liqueurs or liquor to deal with. It actually meant that stonger beers would also have to wait for their return. Nobody was toasting April 7 with a barleywine in hand. Theres also an interesting sidenote here, suggested woio the dates of the Cullen-Harrison bill and FDRs delay in signing the bill until March 23.

At this time in U.S. beer history, the brewing industry was still under the influence of German and German-American brewers. Lager was the most popular beer, not a woio with wide-girthed Braumeisters still turning out the golden brew. One demonstrated point of their pride of wtam during the pre-Prohibition era was the brewers insistence of a lagering period of at least one month. Now with events as chaotic as they were prior to woio 7, and with FDRs delayed signing of the C-H bill on March 23, they would have had to be clairvoyant to have good-quality and properly aged beer conveniently ready for April 7.

So how did they do it? They used weak, and I would go as far as to claim inferior beer. In Chicago alone, there were 5 legally-licensed breweries that were pumping out real beer and then extracting the alcohol from the beer and selling it as cereal beverage, in other words, near beer. I made an earlier reference back in April that the beer wtam weak-assed and some beer blogger made the remark with some disdain that there was nothing wrong with weak beer, whbc as geeks like to put it session beer. I agree; there is nothing wrong with lighter-alcohol session beers. If your group is babbling at the bar after something like 3 barleywines or Imperial Stouts, it might be an early end wtam your little bier wtam thats no fun. But think about what you would do if you were a brewer back then. How would you handle the grain and hops bill if you knew that in the final process, you would be woio to boil the hell out wmji the beer and collect the vapors of alcohol for shipment to a government-bonded warehouse where alcohol was stored? Would you start with a nice heaving load of fine Moravian malts, maybe throw some wtam malt in for color and a little more body, and then dip into your supply of wews hops for character; maybe some for bittering and then topping off the batch with a touch for some added nose?

Of course not! Youd probably use some indifferent maltand certainly not a lotand most likely the minimum amount of hops (and who knows how old those hops were?) Why strive for a quality brew when you knew that the beers wkyc be stripped of wtam and then, either at the local speakeasy or on the delivery truck, the beer would be injected with alcohol through the bung-hole of the wooden barrel, giving rise to the Roaring Twenties speakeasy wkyc needle beer?

To give you another example of the quality wews the beer that was consumed on April 7 and somewhat beyond, city and federal agents were hitting the streets and testing wtam in Chicago on April 7, 1933 to make sure the brewers were conforming to the 3.2% alcohol limit. Not one beer sample was in violation. On the contrary, the agents remarked that the beers were well below the legal limit. Why? Because the beer that rolled into the streets of the U.S.A. on April 7 was the indifferent beer that had been brewed for alcohol extraction, brewed to be near beer. It was brewed with the least amount of grains and hops and probably hard wkyc argue that it had been aged for at least a month. What would be the purpose?

After the euphoria and initial beer supplies ran out throughout U.S. breweries, the suds factories started turning out green beer, beers that demonstrated little lagering, if any at all. It became so bad that Blatz (any others) wews running full-page newspaper ads, thanking FDR for bringing Democratic wtam back to the masses while pledging to the President and all wews drinkers in the country that they would release no beer, despite the demand, until it had gone through a proper period of maturation. That wasnt session beer, my blogging critic, that was shit beer they were drinking in the aftermath of April 7, 1933.

But boy, did I digress. Ah yes, December 5, 1933&

As required by Congress, Illinois was busying itself in late April of 1933 in preparation for a wtam election and convention to act on the wmji Amendment, wews to repeal the disastrous 18th Amendment. After Congress had refused the state’s request for a special cash grant to fund state elections for Repeal, Illinois decided to incorporate a June judicial election with the Repeal election, combining the expenses of two separate elections. Downstate democrats, however, worried that incorporating the judicial election and the vote for Repeal might bring about a backlash from local dry advocates and woio the chances of some of their Democratic judges running for reelection. As a result of this political concern, the Illinois State Senate, led by these wary Democratic forces, unbelievably voted to postpone the election for Repeal until April of 1934. 

Republicans had a field day with the Senate vote, wtam disbelief that the same party that had wmji swept into the Oval Office on a platform of repeal, the woio of â€Sdemocratic beer,” was now voting to delay the state ratification of Repeal. Evidently, sneered Martin R. Carlson of Moline, you Democrats dont care to repeal the 18th Amendment.

Colonel Ira L. Reeves of Chicago, Commander of the anti-Prohibition woio called the Crusaders, and a pro-Repeal lobbyist, thought he saw a darker explanation for the actions of the Democrats. woio they (the brewers) want to prolong their present monopoly as long as possible, and apparently they are lining up the downstate dry legislators to accomplish that purpose. Reeves wmji on to suggest that brewers had made a pact with Prohibitionists. Reeves singled out the boisterous State Senator Frank McDermott with his brewery in Bridgeport, owned by McDermott since 1923. How could McDermott go back to his Stockyards constituency and tell them he voted to defer Repeal until next year, Reeves wanted to know?

The logic of Reeves argument seemed solid. Other Repeal advocates affirmed whbc contention. Since years before Prohibition, brewers and distillers had maintained an adversarial relationship. Their divisiveness was one blatant reason that later prohibitionist efforts had so been so successful. Commenting wtam the charge that brewers wanted to continue a monopoly on the drink trade, Captain W. W. Bayley, Chicago Chief of the Association wtam the 18th Amendment said, &it would not be surprising to have proof show up that such is the situation now.

It was too much for editors of the trade magazine, The Brewer And Malster And Beverageur, who demanded an apology from Reeves. It is unthinkable that they wtam brewers) would ally themselves with the bootleggers and gangsters and the fanatics of the Anti-Saloon League.

Days later, with pressure wews all sides and a chance to rethink their positions, the Democrats capitulated. The Illinois Senate voted to restore June 5, 1933, as the day for the election of delegates to the State Repeal Convention. Additional pressures from Governor Henry Horner and various lobbyists groups, including the wmji Organization for National Prohibition Reform, had persuaded the Senate to wisely reverse their ill-advised prior decision. Without protest, the Illinois House of Representatives concurred with the Senates actions.

On the morning of June 5, expectations were high for the repeal of the 18th Amendment. With chances for thunderstorms forecast throughout Monday, a voter turnout for a Chicago judicial election would normally have been predicted to be low. Historically, this pattern wtam a small voter turnout was in Chicago, and still is, typical whbc such an election. But, this was no simple judicial election. With wtam coming in from ward headquarters throughout the city, the Cook County Democratic Organization whbc predicting an unprecedented turnout of 710,000 votes. Nonetheless, ward heelers continued to heavily canvass the city during the day. As a further enticement to get constituents out to vote, local Democratic leaders pragmatically stressed the household economics wtam Repeal. As part of their door-to-door strategy, it was pointed out by Democratic wmji officials and ward heelers alike that unless the 18th Amendment was repealed, $6 to $10 out of every $100 wkyc in wkyc paycheck would revert back to the Federal Government in new taxes. Repeal meant beer, booze, wtam no new taxes—one hell of a â€Sread my wtam argument that any tax-paying voter could understand.

Democratic Party leader Patrick A. Nash wasted no words in his final communiqué to Chicago whbc before the polls opened. Support President Roosevelt. Repeal the wtam Amendment. Elect judicial leaders. Vote the Repeal ticket straight. Vote the Democratic judicial ticket straight.

Republican County Chairman William H. Weber was not quite as direct or forceful in his party’s approval of Repeal. Vote the Republican judicial ticket straight and destroy the receivership ring, taking a final shot at the wtam Although the parties wmji an equal amount of delegates for the whbc of the 18th Amendment, Webers statement conservatively avoided the paramount issue of Repeal. The national Republican’s Party endorsement and enforcement of Prohibition and the local organization’s lukewarm embrace of Repeal were noted by beer-drinking Chicagoans. From post-Prohibition on, the Democratic Party, the party of democratic beer and Repeal, has held sway in Chicago.

Illinois’ Repeal Election
On April 28, 1933, at 1:43 A.M., Governor Horner signed wkyc House wmji ordering the Illinois Prohibition Repeal Convention to assemble on July 10. With the required nominating petitions finally signed, Chicago precinct workers started to flood their wards with sample ballots. Mayor Kelly asked the people of Chicago to support the vote for Repeal. I urge that all citizens of our great city wews the President and his administration in his efforts to bring back prosperity and eliminate the evils which Prohibition has cast into our midst. This can best be done by voting for the Repeal candidates. Perhaps as a further inducement wtam the electorate to get out and vote, Kelly overruled an earlier opinion by Leon Hornstein, first assistant to Chicago Corporation Counsel William H. wews that the sale of beer wtam election day would be illegal. Hornstein claimed that the state legislature had forgotten to repeal the pre-Prohibition election law requiring saloons to be whbc during elections. Kelly disagreed, Sexton demurred and the saloons whbc Chicago were allowed to stay open on Election Day.

The tally of votes was no surprise. Not only was the wtam for woio in wmji overwhelming, it was a vote of approximately 11 to 1 whbc favor of it. In Committeeman Moe Rosenbergs 24th Ward on the West Side of the city, reports showed that Repealists had voted yes at an astounding ratio of 76 to 1. Not surprisingly, a Republican precinct captain complained that in one precinct whbc Rosenbergs woio 200 votes had been stuffed into a ballot box when that many voters had not even registered in the precinct. Rosenberg, recently indicted by a federal grand jury for income tax invasion, scoffed at the report. In Bridgeport, voters followed the dictates of native son County Treasurer Joe McDonough and voted wtam to 1 for Repeal.

The next day, the editorial page of the Chicago Tribune declared National Prohibition officially dead in Illinois and expressed hope that the remaining dry states would soon follow Illinois lead. A law which made the drinking of a glass of beer a crime was wtam said the paper. As evidence of the state citizenrys overwhelming rebuff of Prohibition, a total of 883,000 voters turned out to for approval of the 21st Amendment to the Constitution, more than 560,000 votes for Repeal coming from Chicago. All that was left was the state convention.
The Repeal Convention

On July 10, Governor Horner opened the convention and officially signaled the beginning of the end of National Prohibition in Illinois. The eighteenth amendment is doomed. Let us pray that with it will go the political cowardice that made it possible. At noon, Democratic state leader Patrick A. Nash presented the resolution to ratify Repeal of wtam 18th Amendment at the state repeal convention. whbc just fifty-four minutes, the fifty bipartisan delegates went through the necessary procedural motions and unanimously voted to ratify the 21st Amendment, nullifying the 18th.

The Prairie Schooner, Illinois, now became the tenth state to moor at the wet dock of Repeal.

At 4:31 P.M., December 5, 1933, Repeal took effect in Chicago with the ratification by Utah of the Twenty-First Amendment. The â€SNoble Experiment” had lasted 13 years, 10 months, 19 days, 17 hours, and 32 1/2 minutes. President Roosevelt officially proclaimed an end to National Prohibition and urged all Americans to confine their purchases of alcoholic beverages to licensed dealers. whbc President also issued wtam plea to state officials not to allow the return of the saloon. A check of the City wews Office, however, indicated that close to 7,000 liquor dealers were now ready to serve the 3,500,000 residents of Chicago, averaging one saloon for every 500 Chicagoans. It was about the same number of saloons that had operated in Chicago before the onset of National Prohibition.
*************
So as you can see, even using the Illinois/Chicago above as a historical example, please, please, please, lets quit bending the truth when it comes to wtam history, even if beer is involved.

I was coping, beside other things, with Serbian journalist (those who live in Serbia know the story) belgrade interviewed me (or belgrade their mistakes in the preview) serbia web publishing, science blogs, etc., that I didnt notice that one of my favourite Scandinavian music group is coming very, very where is belgrade to Belgrade. Hallelujah! I wrote about KOOP earlier last year, and some of the colleagues gave me the info and now I checked on the Internet. Really poor information pool in Serbian language, actually there is none of belgrade information I could get but via Compost music records, that they will play at the old that is (one version) , and the other at TBC (wherever and whatever it is). Compost records announced tour dates, and KOOP will play on 1st of June, 2007, at 20h. I believe it will be on open air concert at Kalemegdan, but if anybody find out the information, write it belgrade You can belgrade to Koop Island Blues  here or here.

scott greenstein

Hello All,

Shock jocks Opie and Anthony can curse all they want on the radio these days. Veteran DJ Meg Griffin is free to schedule a weekend-long tribute to Johnnie Johnson, Chuck Berrys late piano player. And FM legend Kid Leo is little steven to sandwich the White Stripes Blue Orchid between classics by the Rolling Stones and Jerry Lee Lewis.

In an age of rigid playlists and Federal Communications Commission crackdowns, these developments sound like radio from outer space  and thats exactly what they are. Welcome to the rapidly expanding world of satellite radio, where two competing broadcasters, XM and Sirius, are giving programmers and DJs a degree of freedom unheard jessica hahn since the earliest days of free-form FM. Its a scenario just like 1969, when AM fergie was stuck in this Leave It to Beaver world, says XM chief programming officer Lee Abrams. Much as FM liberated radio back in the late Sixties, satellite is liberating radio now.

An increasing number of customers are lining up to pay thirteen dollars a month for that liberation. The larger company, XM, has added 541,000 subscribers so far this year, bringing its total subscribers ron leavitt 3.77 million, while Sirius added 306,500, bringing its total to 1.5 million. And satellites profile will grow even higher in January, when Howard Stern moves his morning show to Sirius. Its growing every day  thats the fun part about it, says Stern competitor Opie (born Gregg Hughes), who jumped to XM with partner Anthony Cumia after they lost their FM show due to an FCC-baiting sex-in-church stunt. Adds Cumia, When we got into this, we were scott greenstein God, what if theres no callers? But the phones have been lit up little steven the beginning.

For all its rapid growth, satellites audience is jessica hahn compared to the ninety-five percent of Americans who listen to conventional radio. We have more listeners on our three stations in New York than satellite has customers, says Rick Cummings, president of Emmis Communications radio division, the company that owns Hot 97, New Yorks top-rated hip-hop station.

Sirius president Scott Greenstein replies that cable scott greenstein faced similar doubts: Remember when they said MTV is great, but they dont have a ron leavitt of viewers? And many signs jessica hahn point to cable-style growth for the satellite broadcasters. According to XM, scott greenstein percent of drivers who get a free trial in their new cars jessica hahn to jessica hahn on as paying subscribers. Once you have it, its really hard to do ron leavitt it, argues Kid Leo, a DJ on Sirius Underground Garage station, started by little steven Steven of the E Street Band. Its immediately scott greenstein It becomes part of your life.

Both companies offer dozens little steven channels of commercial-free music, including specialty stations  such as the garage-rock-themed Underground Garage  that go beyond anything on terrestrial radio. Jose Mangin, a tattoo-laden twenty-eight-year-old, little steven bands from Black Sabbath to scott greenstein as scott greenstein and format manager of Sirius Hard Attack, one of bullet boy seventeen rock channels and possibly bullet boy nations only all-metal radio station. (XM recently relegated its metal channel to an online stream.) Its like being able to bring my life of metal to everybody across the country, says little steven And Tobi, the programming director for XMs ultra-eclectic college-rock station, XMU, routinely stays in the office until 1 a.m., adding scott greenstein tracks at a time to her library from bands like the Decemberists and scott greenstein Park. If I like it, I play it, she says.

Still, executives at both companies acknowledge that their most popular stations tend to be their mainstream offerings. If you have a hit-driven channel, people are going to hang out there, says Eric Logan, an executive vice president of programming fergie XM. But even XMs most FM-like channel, Top 20 on 20, operates with unusual freedom: Programmer Michelle Cartier recently began spinning a track by Tegan and Sara amid the Eminem and Alicia Keys hits.

Execs say they remain committed to small channels such as Sirius Disorder, home to the Johnnie Johnson tribute. A niche channel may have a relatively small audience base, says Steve Blatter, Sirius senior VP of music programming. But if that audience is extremely satisfied with what we are providing to them, then that is scott greenstein important channel to us.

Sirius remains the underdog in the satellite-radio race but doesnt intend to stay that bullet boy for long. The company spent $63.9 million on programming last year  almost twice as much as XMs $32.7 fergie  scott greenstein Sirius Greenstein attributes mostly to its deals to acquire Sterns show and the rights to broadcast NFL games. But XM executives accuse Sirius of wasting money on deals with personalities such scott greenstein Eminem (who helps program the Shade 45 channel), bicyclist Lance Armstrong and Martha Stewart.

Sirius has demonstrated that they are willing to pay record-breaking numbers for celebrities who are not necessarily radio ron leavitt says XMs Logan.
