people, is authority for the statement
that that is the time to leave.

perience Of Great Britain, where by
progressive steps the output of beer
was restricted until in the beginning
OF 1917 it approXimated only about
one-thlrd Of the amount produced in
the last year of peace. The restric-
tons were adopted with a view to con-
serving transportation, and had some
reference to the thought of conserving
grains for other food purposes. It
was found. however, that the restric-
tlons were too severe and that the
workers in mines, shipyards, munition
factories and also in the fields were
not able to sustain their previous out
put OF war supplies and other neces-
sites. Consequently the British gov
ernment permitted an increase in the
output OF beer, amounting to 33 1-3
per cent, and it is now urging persons
who are able to do so. to take their
vine so that there may be an adequate
supply of the malt becerages for the
working classes.
The situation that is thus disclosed
is very fully set forth in report on
the causes of industrial unrest in
Great Britain, which was made by a
government commission of that coun-
try, and which has been reprinted by
the United States Department Of
AoOoA' Hc surveys lHaI were maQe
in various sections developed that the
shortage of beer was one of the chief
causes of industrial unrest, and this
subject is discussed in the report with
as much soberness and detail as hous-
ing, shop systems, wages, hours and
other circumstances.
Surely we do not want to invoke In
dustrial unrest in this country, espe-
cially in time Of war, nor give the
wage Garner, upon whose shoulders q
great part of the burden of the con"
flict must necessarily rest. any un-
necessary causes of annoyance. I may
say that l know something about tho
wage Garner His advance in temper
ance has been as marked as that Of
any other member of the community.
Drunkenness is just as much alb
horred by those who work with their
hands as it is by those who do our
banking, or write our editorials, or
conduct our mercantile establish
ments; but the worker objects very
strenuously to giving up, without his
consent, the refreshing malt beverage
which has been his standby for many
years, and which he has come to rely
upon to aid him in recovering from
the effects of strenuous toll. He
should certainly be consulted before
prohibition, either state or national,
is adopted. f. A. MOFFETT.
