Declares Public Houses in Neigh bOrhOod of Shipyards Are Making More Money Than Be- fore War Broke Out.

LONDON, Mar 29.-'We are fight ing Germany and Austria. but drink. So far as can see, is the greatest of the three deadly foes" said David Lloyd George, Chancellor of Che Ex- chequcr, in replying to a depuatiuu from the shipbuHding employers as- sociaton. the members Of which are unanimous in urging, in order Co meet the national requirement at the pres ent time that there be a total prohi- hition during the period of war. of the sale oi intoxicating liquors.
 This would apply not only to public houses but also to private clubs. SO as to operate equally with all classes in the community It is stated that despite the fact that work is being carried on night and day. seven days a week, the total working time on the average in nearly all British shipyards is actually less than before the war and the average productiveuess has been decreased. There are many men doing splendid strenuous work. prob ably as good as the men in the trench cs, but many are not even approNi- mating full time. thus disastrously re- ducing the average.
 Notwithstanding the curtailment in hours they are allowed Co keep open. The receipts in public houses in the ueighborhood of shipyards have been greatly increased. in some cases forty percent As an instance, one of the many similar cases that of a battle ship coming in for immediate repairs Is cited She was delayed whole day through the absence of rivCtters who were drinking and carousing. one yard oi rivetters has been working am average Of only forty hours a week, and another only thirty-siN

the. accident list you will find thataf 70
out of the total number OF 40 fatal &C.
cidents were due. TO falls OF roof and

at the working faces. There is no
doubt but that many OF these acci.
dents could have been prevented had
the mine foreman or assistant mine
foreman made a proper examination
of the working faces as required by
law. :, MA
1t seems to be habit with many
of the foreemen and assistant fore.
