LIQUOR DEALERS
SEEK 2 MONTHS
MORE OF GRACE
Manitoba Saloon Men, To
Close Cafes, Want Time to
Sell Stock.

Winnipeg, Can, April IA move
ment is under way among liquor deal
ers in Manitoba, which voted out its
saloons at an election last month, to
petition the government for two
months of grace in order to dispose
of stock on hand. Should the petit
ton meet with favor, the province
Will not go ''dry" until August 1.
I'VE have been with you for two
score years, and another so days will
matter httle,'' is the plea of the III
quor dealers. ~
On the other hand, the prohibition
leaders hotly protest against any ex-
tension Of time. They point to the
fact that more than three-fourths of
Canadian territory already has voted
out saloons and confidently predict
that before the new year Quebes
the liquor licensing system and that
even here licensing will be restricted
to Montreal, Quebec and a number of
large urban centers.
The possibility of the Dominion gov.
eminent passing rigid prohibition
measures has made large liquor deal
ers in Quebec as we'll as in other sec
lions uneasy, It is said. Several nnea-
sures pertaining principally to the
shipment of spirits from wet to dry
territory now are before parliament.
On September Is, Ontario, for
years considered the stronghold of
the Canadian liquor interests, will go
dry by direct legislation, which will
continue effective until after the war.
Licenses will be extended from May
until September upon payment of a,
nominal fee. After the war, and a
considerable time after the return OF
the soldiers, a referendum will be Ia
ken. In the meantime, the law will
not interfere with importation of Ii
quor for private consumption, but will
provide extremely heavy fines for vio-
1ations of the regulations stipulated.
The 800 licenses in Alberta province
will be cancelled July L, next and the
sale of liquor henceforth prohibited.
Saskatchewan province now has
one of the most stringent curtailrnent
laws, all liquor traffic being contro1l-
ed by the provincial government. No
person may use liquor except in his
own home.
Nova Scotia entered the prohibition
ranks March Is, 1916, by a legislative
vote.
In New Brunswick, nine Of the four
teen counties are dry.
A local option law in Quebec, pass
ed before confederation and which
novS covers about 900 parishes or ap-
-proximate1y two-thirds of the pro-
vince, is in effect. Except6in large
cities there are practically no Hcens-
ed bars
Total 4prohibiti has been adopted
by Newfoundland, the island colony,
abolishing sale, manufacture, inpor-
tation and transportation of liquor
In the northwest territories the
sale Is liquor is regulated by the do
rninion license law.
Early in the summer railroads are
expected to discontinue sale of liquor
on dining cars because of the great
stretch of dry territory in the west.
