LABOUR AND THE LIQUOR QUESTION.
POSITION OF HOTEL EMPLOYEES. [BT .. TELEGRAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT.] Wellington', Wednesday. Mr. D. McLaren, speaking at a no-license rally this afternoon on "Labour and the Liquor Question," said that the labour conditions of hotel employees, with their seven days working week, were such that organised labour should be glad of any chance to relieve their fellow-workers from such a situation. The general run of hotel employees had been largely neglected as far as their labour was concerned, and he ventured to hold that just in proportion as their fellow- workers interested themselves. in the conditions of such employees would they come more and more to the conclusion that the best remedy would be to lind them other employment. Mr. McLaren further ( stated that at present the labour organisations more generally preferred State ownership than any other remedv of the liquor problem, but .many had in view ultimate prohibition. In proportion as the temperance party ceased to speak of no-liccnsc as the solo panacea for every iill the labour people would be drawn to support the temperance movement.
