Men and boys, a great opportunity is offered you to-night to learn something of the perils of early manhood at Major Pettitt's lecture in the Town Hall. Labour Leaders in Canada now unanimously favour Prohibition. H. G. Veitch, President of the WinnipegLabour Party writes thus:—"Prior to Prohibition I was rather doubtful as to the economic results it might have; after watching its effect for two years I am convinced that Prohibition has proved a blessing- to the Labour movement. We no longer have to compete with the Bar-room for attendance at Union Meetings, and the improvement in conditions is readily seen." Supposing State Liquor had been operating would these results have been achieved? Labour in America endorses Prohibition as the only safe and satisfactory solution for the Drink curse. 44
