SALOONS MAKE WOMEN LABOR.

Rather grim bit of evidence con-
corning liquor selling is furnished by a
manufacturer. Seeking In a certain
neighborhood for new situation for
his plant, he announced at the start
that he would consider only those
TOWNS that license the sale of liquor,
and would pledge themselves to con-
tinue to do SO. The reason he gave
is that In no7license communities he
has found 1t impossible to get the nee
essary women and girl laborers. In
such communities women do not have
to go out to work.-Exchange
