2. That you can vote a community dry but can.
not vote people dry.
8. That man who needs a law to make him
temperate needs brains more than anything else.
4. That it is wrong to abuse the right to drink
but worse to rob all men Of tnAt right because a
few abuse it,
5. That blind tiger is worse than the worst

log the legitimate licensed saloons and converting
beer drinkers in.a whiskey drinkers
8. That boy who needs prohibition straight

Hoover dictatorship was supplanted by
an administrative board of three, of which

bership of 100000 in New York, and the
Peoples Council have been formed with
the purpose of preserving rights labor has
won and which the American Federation
of Labor now is asserted TO be making no
fight to keep. Doubtless labor does fear an
impairment of wages and standards of liv-
ing by the sudden convulsion of war, and
organizations with the avowed purpose OF
maintaining the standard of living will
make strong appeal Mr.. Gompers, how
ever, saws that the American Federation
of Labor is fully alive to its duty, and
charges that rival organizations are only
a cloak for German plotting among Ameri-
can workmen.
Specific instances Of what labor fears are
the substitution of woman labor for man
labor at lower wage, the local impair
ment of child labor laws as the labor sup
ply decreases, the speeding up Of indus
tries to multiply production and the I'M
portation of cooie and other cheap grades
:-of labor to compete with white labor AM
lessen the cost of production. The Eas.
PSI. Louis riots and the disturbances at
Flat River, Mo-, are themselves instances
of the effect of such processes upon the
collective mind of the laboring man.
