THE LIQUOR QUESTION.
, 4 ; EFFECTS OF EARLY CLOSING
(By Cable. —Press Association. —Copyright, SYDNEY, May 31.
The secretary of the Federated Liquor Trades Union claims that six o'clock closing wil! mean throwing out of employment from 3000 to 5000 men and women. Tho New South Wales Alliance replies that there will be an improvement in other avenues of work from carrving tho six o'clock proposal, which, wili * absorb any that a re thrown out of woric, and asks if the Political Labour League Conference would have carried a resolution in favour of six o'clock closing if the cause of the workers would suffer thereby. Tho "Sydney Morning Herald," in a leader, accepts the referendum as a wnr precautionary measuro, and advocates six o'clock closing straight out. The "Herald" savs it has been proved that a free uso of liquor .sans the discipline, weakens tho resolution, and undermines the constitution of those going to the front, and a sharp distinction must be drawn between what i?. fair aud proper in times of peace and times of war. While so serious a struggJo ic? now waging in Europe, we can afford to take no unavoidable risks. j
