LABOUR AND PROHIBITION.
"No class of society has received greater benefits through the Prohibition laAv of Colorado than the wage-earners. My observation, with opportunities ofi knowing the results, equal perhaps to that of anyone, bears out this conclusion."—C. C. Houstan, Editor DenA'er "Labour Bulletin."
"Before the Labour movement can attain its place and fulfil its destiny it must rid itself of liquor domination and shake Off the shackles that that interest has bound about it. After years of investigation I find'that Prohibition has proven that once the Labour movement is loosed from liquor's dictation and its membership released from the poverty caused by drink, it will realise its dreams of economic greatness, but that will not come until it lias awakened ■/to the fact that it is to-day being made the slave of the outlaAved liquor traffic of America." —T. J. Greer, President Louisiana Federation of Labour. —Adyt.
