DURING WORKING HOURS.
Socialists Oppose German System Of
Beer Drinking.

Essen, Germany, Sept. 2 The tenn
perance question was again discussed
during the day at the Socialist nation
al convention In this city. Only one
vote was cast against a resolution
whose main feature was an expression
Of opposition to the use Of alcohol In
any form during working hours, thus
setting the full strength Of the Social
ist party against the German factory
system Of beer drinking at regular in
tervals throughout the day In many
workshops the drinking Of eight to ten
pints Of beer while the men are at
work is usual. The prevailing opinion
among the delegates to the convention
was that the intemperance of the la
boring classes will gradually cease
with the betterment of their condition,
the shortening Of the hours of work
and the abolition of night work.
The Bergman electrical works In
Berlin, which are owned by Ameri-
cans, was one of the first concerns in
Germany to prevent it's employees from
drinking beer during working hours.
This followed a long and hard fight
with the employees some years ago and
the result has been that the product
of the works is increasing appreciably.
