NOT TO FIGHT PROHIBITION.
Secretary Colpoys of Central Union
Outlines Labor's Stand Here.

Opponents of the Sheppard bill for
prohibition of the liquor traffic in
Washington need expect no support at
this time from labor organizations The
labor men claim that their attitude
always has been taken from an indus
trial standpoint. "As the liquor bust
ness in Washington at this time is
filled up with non-union employees we
union men feel that we are not called
upon to fight their battles for them."
said John B. Colpoys, secretary of the
Central Labor Union today.
Action to this effect was taken at a
meeting of the Central Labor Union
in Typographical Temple last night.
which was largely attended. This ac-
ton is in accordance with statement
issued by officers of the union at the
beginning of the strike of brewery
workers here which has been in prog
ress for several months. At that time
it was pointed out that unless the
brewers yielded to- the demands of the
striking workers organized labor
would cease to champion the cause of
liquor and possibly would aid the pro-
hibition movement.
