SAMUEL GOMPERS AND LOCAL

Samuel w. Gompers. president Oh
the American Federation of Labor.
Is said to have declined 10 speak Tor
the local option cause on the erohhd
that the experience in most cities
has shown prohibition TO be failure
MIR Gompers is quoted as saying;
e, oould nor consent to ind0rse local
option because am not In sympathy
with the movement. Proper reguia-
ton of the liqaor traffic Is much
more effective than the adjustment
of saloons under local option or pro-
hibition laws. Experience or citieS
both in the United States and other
countries has shown this. There II

cannot go and buy all the beer and.
whiskey lie wants. There Is no at
tempt whatever 10 disguise the TACT
thar these places are operating in vio-
lation OF the law
Undoubtedly there is much truth
In this. Not only in Maine. but IN
other sections of this country II has
been demonstrated that prohibition
laws are not and cannot be effective
in communities where there Is no
strong public sentiment against the
sale of liquor. Savannah, Ga. furn-
ishes a striking example. Georgia is
a dry" State and it is against the
law to sell intoxicants anywhere with
in its borders. Yet. according TO re-
liable reports, as much liquor of all
kinds is dispensed in savannah today
as ever before. The majority OF the
people OF savannah were and are OPP
, posed to prohibition. and when the
Georgia Statewide law was passed II
was not recognized In the city. IL IS
said that the saloons there are no
ordinary "speakeasies." but are con-
ducted practically as openly rs they
were when they were duly licensed by
law.

Gompers did not mean to condemn
