Dominion Glass Company, Wallaceburg, Canada

LIQUOR SHIPMENTS HELD UP

BY GLASS STRIKE IN CANADA.

The strike in the Wallaceburg, Canada, factory of the Dominion Glass Co., which supplies most of Canada's distillers with bottles, for a time stopped the flow of booze. Before the strike came to an end Montreal whisky agents were refused orders by the distillers. E. D. Gooderham, superintendent of the Gooderham & Worts Distillery, sent a wire to Montreal informing the dealers that they could not accept any more orders. "It is due to the strike that we were forced to this," said Mr. Gooderham. "We have a certain supply of bottles on hand, but not sufficient to fill all orders coming in." A similar wire was sent out by the Hiram Walker Co., of Walkerville, and it is understood that he orders from the mail order agents, wholesalers, and vendors throughout the Dominion have literally swamped the distillery headquarters at Walkerville.

Big Orders Delayed.

Large orders on the books of the distillers are said to have been delayed in shipment, and the wholesalers in Quebec, from the stand taken by the distillers, were compelled to ship their agents and their own orders direct from their premises in Quebec to the consumer by getting their supply from Walkerville in carload shipments. Inquiries made at one of the big breweries as to any difficulty they might be having to fill orders for beer brought forth the information that there were very few orders for beer. "We have not had to put on an extra man to fill the orders we have received. The people all seem to be ordering whisky."
