LIQUOR IN RUSSIA.
A BOOM IN TAVERNS. BEER A POPULAR BEVERAGE. (Received 14, 9.50 a.m.) London, Nov. 13. “The Times” Riga correspondent says that since the Bolsheviks legalised the sale and drinking of alcohol, which the Czarist Government totally prohibited in 1914, an extraordinary num ber of taverns have opened, especially in the factory districts. Moscow’s taverns have already reached pre-war figures. Although little was drunk beer has now become the workers’, principal drink instead of vodka. These taverns attract Communists from clubs; therefore it is proposed to attach a beer hail to each Communist club, thus extending Communist influence among factory workers.—(‘ ‘ Times. ’’)
