' ■ . 'those who do 1 not ' ihdt*lge_jnjin^^ —An order issued by the Carnegie Steel Company of Ohio during the great American "drive"-for Prohibition, TO such a degree did the Prohibitionists and the AntiSaloon League carry their unscrupulous propaganda on behalf of Prohibition in America that many firms were induced to adopt such drastic methods as the above for coercing their employees. Evidence is not lacking that attempts have been made in this country to persuade employers to use similar methods. For, says the Dry Enthusiast, teetotalism means more production and more profit. AS events have proved, Prohibition hasn't meant anything of the kind in America —rather the reverse. But even if it did, what then ?. Has the worker no right to personal liberty of choice in his food and drink? Is he a mere producing machine, with no purpose in life but maximum output and the multiplication of profits?: NO! The worker is a human being. He has individual tastes and personal preferences. And so long a* he does not injure his neighbour he has the right to order his own life in his own way. > The New Zealand worker will not take kindly to Teetotalism by Coercion.. He believes in a fair day'e work for a fair day's pay—after that, his life is his own affair. VOTE CONTINUANCE!
