The Central Labor Union, representing
many affiliated unions of workingmen,
went on record by unanimous vote at its
meeting last night as opposed to the
passage of what Is known as the Gal
linger bill 'for the regulation OF the
liquor trade in the District of Columbia .
Speakers asserted that the Gallinger bill
was practically a prohibition measure
and would, If passed. result in the closing
or practically all the saloons in Washing
ton by next October.
The bill was denounced by speakers rep
resenting many trades, and when the
resolution opposing the passage of the
act was adopted the hall rang with cheers
1t was stated that the present liquor law
In the District was ample and that the
Gallinger bill was only favored by a mi
nority of the men of voting age in the
District of Columbia. The legislative COM
mittee of the central body was Instructed
to tight the bill before the Senate and
House.

William II. Berry, the Keystone

Berry could not control his temper
and on more than one occasion he talk

he was going to land.
He was particularly bitter in his at
tacks on the Democrats who opposed
his nomination at The Allentown state
convention, and he repeatedly cng scd
them with being "a bunch OF crooks

ing
After listening to Berry's speeches
the opinion was expressed by some of
the most conservative men in Phila.
delphia that Berry by his talk and his
political tactics during che last few
weeks has demonstrated that he has
no conception of the responsibilities or
the importance OF the office of Gov
ernOr of Pennsylvania, and that he is
absolutely lacking in dignity and char.
acter such as should be possessed by
the chief executive of the common
wealth of Pennsylvania.
The refusal of the great body of
business men and manufacturers and
others who have in the past been the
leaders of Independent movements in
Philadelphia to have anything to do
with the campaign in favor of Berry
for governor has been a serious han
dicap to the Keystone Party
Not only do these men regard Berry
as unfit to fill the office of governor
but they resent the selection of a
Bryanite Democrat of his type to head
a ticket about which sincere reform
ers are asked TO rally.
