OVERCOMING UNEMPLOYMENT Every effort is being made at the present time to turn the tide of nnemploy ment and get men and youths back into regular work' at real wages. Those who advocate prohibition overlook the disastrous consequences that would follow if the licensed trade were abolished. There arc at least 20,000 wage earners engaged in the licensed and allied trades who would lose their jobs. The claim that they would be employed in other industries is obviously untrue in view of the surplus of skilled workers in all trades already among the unemployed. Increased hardship and increased taxation are two of the many items in prohibition’s bill of costs —two of the many reasons why every country that has had prohibition has thrown it out. On Polling Day remember that 20,000 jobs depend on you. Vote Continuance by striking out "tbs two bottom lines.—Advk.
