US Re146011- to Industry—A Great Meeting Hears Sound Counsel. There was an enormous crowd in Newsy Hall on the afternoon of $ Sunday...November lith, when representetive men in the American Federation of Labor Ocoupied, the plaefotni and deelt some sledge -ham- mer blows to the liquor trotlic and Use drinking customs of society. $ The sympathetic audierice vigorously applauded the candid and force- ful address of every speaker, Here are some samples of the declarations that eeokeci the greatest enthusiasm: JOHN $. LENNON, TREASURER At F. L. Saxon race is going to settle the questiou aud settle it right's" "The preeent aspects of this great question show that the Anglo- : "The purpose of the trade union is to raise the etandard of living:. • Wbat, about the saloon ? Is there a man who will dare to say there is any influence from thesaloon except, to loWer title standard and make znan less manly and woman lest) womanly ?" "The trade union movement stands for women having the same opportunities in life as men, and for better opportunities for women to Keep out of industrial labor, Will any man dare to say the saloon has not driven women to the factories and mills and wash -tubs in numbers impossible to be ealculated ?" "The labor union stands for the abolition of child labor, and for their development, morally, intellectually, and socially. Oen there be $ found a man who will attempt to say the saloon and liquor business tends to build up the children? The whiskey in the family drives many little boys and girls into industry when they might to be on the playground. As one mole unionist I am unquestionably against any such business." "Every dollar and cent going into the liquor business tends to depress the standard of living of any country or people." . "The liquor business tends to a reduction in wagee and never to an IICEt,O,, "I don't know a solitary principle for which the laborrporment stands, but that the saloon is on the other eide of the question, REV. Q1.1AS. STELZLE, SUPT. OP LABOR OF AMERICAN* PRESBYTERIA.N CHURCH, . . . 0 "There is no euch thing as personal liberty in America. A man cermet even spend his money as he pleases. The law exists that he must 'Alpena his family, send his children to school, and keep his home cleen before he spends any money in the saloon." - "I cannot uederstand why any trade unionist should object to the ' Local Option movement. • Local Option is but a practical application of the ptinciples of the referendum, which represented one of the democratic principle for which labor coutends. When a labor man protests against, it he is untrue to the principles of organized labor." "What does it mean to license a saloon ? Practically to fine it. The community declares the saloon is an evil in the country.' "When society declares as a whole that the saloon is a blot, then the saloon will go. "The day will come wben practically every labor leader will he a total abstainer. Why, lust a little time ago; across the line, the bar- tenders in one town organized 43, total abstainence society! ? Why 0 shouldn't the labor leaders do the stone ?" _ ' "I would net have you conclude that I think there are"no good # labor tendert:, who drink. Thr e are, some of the first in the ranks. Yet it seems to me, other things being equal, the man who is the total ab- stainer is the best num," . , JOHN MITCHELL, VICE-PRES. A. P. L. # "I arnnot impressed .withthe statement frequently made that if 0 we close down the liquor besinessit will result in calamity to the nom- di munity. Rather the contrary. If a brewery is closed down, in its r place springs up a factory, If a saloon is closed, in its place conies a. store. It is simply a process well known to union men, the same pro- cess as follows the introduction of machinery. It is re -adjustment, a ' changed condition of society." He would be e bold man who would stand before an intelligent . $ audience and say intemperance was not the cause of great wrong. I $ say there is more Misery, suffering and pain as a result of the nuwise use of liquor than from any -other one thing men 'have done,", "Almost evez.y disturbance in the ranks of organized labor can be traced back to some connection with tbe saloon." KEEP A WAY FROM THE SALOON: $Catholic Record. --The workingman sees now that T, V. Powderly ' was not far wrong when he daid that the liquor train° is responsible for nine -tenths of the misery among the working.classes, and the abct, lition of that traffic would be the greatest blessing which could come to them. And the Archbishop of elontreal exhorts workingmen to . exert their influence over their fellow-worktnen. Keep them away from the saloon where they ruin their health, squander large sums of money which they could devote to lunch nobler purpose!), and where they • : only learn to contract the most pernicious habits. • , f',411W4116,11.,Abellb.041b,16.111~1b,1416.1,411k44,000,411k0116:111"1•.4116,4111wilio.146.116,111b. .. 111 Effitioriolli • s.
