CAMPAIGN FOE MODIFICATION. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright WASHINGTON, January 15. (Received Jan. 15, at 8.45 p.m.) A telegram from Cincinatti states that, following conferences with the Executive Board of the Brewery Workers’ International Union, Mr Gompers announced that Labour will start a concerted drive for a modification of the prohibition law and a return to wine and beer of a light alcoholic content. He declared that this would promote temperance, and would provide an antidote to strong drink. A Jersey City message says that three men dropped dead before a bar, a moment after taking a drink of bad liquor.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
