LABOR CONDEMNS SALOON.

"The time has come In this country
when even, men who take an OCCASION
nj drink and feel II their right and
privilege to do so, If they please.
are coming TO agree that 1t Is not
right for a man to make 1t his busi-
ness to cultivate the vices of com
munity, and to take from men money
that belongs to their families. giving
them in exchange liquid madness, bru-
tnllty, insanity and damnntlon."
These words were spoken by Rev.
William y. Mlllard in an address al
remarkable labor meeting held in
Garrick theater Chicago. "rhe labor
union, like the church," continued Mr..
Mllard, SHOULD regard the open sa-
loon as its greatest enemy. The time
has come, nay Is so near, that the rosy
radiance Of the glorious dawn already
greets our eyes, when the saloon will
be abolished and the barkeeper out
lawed, so that n man may no longer
be waylaid on payday and sent home
to his broken-hearted wife and terri
fed little ones q rigging, lonthsome,
pennlless beast"
Tremendous applause greeted these
sentiments. The theater was packed
to utmost capacity with representa-.
tives of union labor.
