Prohibition iri America is a farce and every well info #1 U.S.A. knows it. mews back THIRD ed person in, ;"V V.’ \ ' Prohibition in America has not played any part in America’s prosperity—it really has had the opposite effect. There are more unejflpoyed in America now than ever before, this notwithstanding the days of depjession immediately following the world war. directly threw overjfne million employees out of employment, leaving them without jobs or opemnsyflhey could fill. I repeat again, prohibition is a farce, anckrmore than that IT IS, A TRAGEDY. ° Liquor can be obtained anywhere— a cigflly store will oblige you, also the greengrocer, and m many of the smaller the butcher also. Genuine liquoi can also be obtained if you are prepared tj|r pay the price. The position leallv creates one law for the rich and the poor. The working man either had to buy “Moonshine” or manufacture for himself. The result of this in the U.S.A. is that both.their general an#mental hospitals in each State I visited were overcrowded. I conversed with dqjfors and public men who. never drank hquor before prohibition; and they told jfe they would give anything to see America return to a sane regulated Tradjp m the Liquor Traffic, as the illicit trade and poisonous liquor being servecbjfut to the people was sapping their vitality and ruin- ' ing the health and mentalitwof the American workers. Yours faithfully, (Signed) E. GRAYNDLER. Guard your rights, your privileges and your fellow workers employment: Keep out the Evils of Prohibition. c ? “Strike out the two bottom lines > tisil®§® i 4 '. b : : : ; r * ■ ■ . mm
