WANTED, A BARMAN—MUST BE SOBER.

ANOTHER INSULT TO LABOR. Tho latest Prohibition advertisement making insulting and offensive reference to bar workers is another example of the real feelI ing of tho Prohibition loaders towards our ; Labor party. The various workers in Hotels I have their own Union, and are one of the I branches of organised Labor. To injure or ! insult any branch of tho Labor party is therefore a blow at the whole party. Surely j the Prohibitionists can manage their cam- ; paign without finding it necessary to insult ' any body of workers. Labor will not easily forget that recent meeting' of Prohibition i leaders when they smilingly remarked that they must try to be nico to the Labor party at least until April 10th—until April 10th. After that, of course, having served its puri pose as far as the Prohibitionists are cortI cerned, Labor can run away and play. Poor Labor! What a compliment they are payI ing you! Surely the Prohibitionist leaders ! forget that in the ranks of the Labor party i are some of the greatest minds of New ZcaI land. Prohibitionists should recognise this, and should deplore these ill-advised attacks made by their leaders on any body of workers. Clever writers they are, no doubt, but clever writing loses its value in Mew Zealand when it is used to attack and even. : insult any branch of the Labor party. | Labor, give them your answer on April 10th.
