"NO BEER-NO WORK" STRIKE CONDEMNED.

NEWARK (N.J.), March 16.— The "no beer, no work" strike proposed for July 1 was condemned 'by 400 delegates of the New Jersey State Federation of Labor and State Building Trades Council at a joint meeting here to-day. The delegates, however, adopted resolutions urging Congress to repeal both war-time ' and permanent prohibition, and calling on President Wilson for aid. "A general strike for beer by laboring men on July 1 would make us , look ridiculous," declared Henry F. Hilfers, secretary of the Labor Federation, one of . the speakers. "A general strike always means a disruption of organised labor. We must express our protests by other means."
