The New York Herald prints half Il page ex-
hibit of the retail liquor traffic Of New York,
with a diagram showing the amazing diSprO-
portions of rum and beer shops to other places
of business, there being over ten thousand such
saloons, or one to every 125 inhabitants, and in
some districts $50 rum shops to the square mile.
The various shops and stores where bread. meat
and groceries can be procured foot up 1926. In
other words, there are more rum shops than food
shops in New York by 2749. These statistics
have been gathered under the auspices of the
new temperance movement, whose first public
meeting was held at Steinway Hall, backed by
the strongest names in the city. 1t is an
of the movement begun in London,
fostered by the church and aiming at the re-
~striction of liquor traffic within reasonable
limits, without requiring total abstinence as
obligatory upon all individuals. A strong COM
will be appointed to effect n reduction of
the liquor license in the city, the closing of
and disorderly saloons, and for the
prevention of rum sellin G to minors and the use
of Intoxicating poisons.
