GEORGIA FARMERS CAN FUR
NISH EMPLOYMENT OF ALL
THROWN OUT OF WORK
BY PROHIBITION LAWS

Atlanta, Ga, May 1O.-1f the
whiskey and beer interest which are
making such pitiful wall in other
states about throwing saloon and dis
tillery and brewery employees out OF
work by prohibition, would only
turn their attention to Georgia. where
every large farmer and every industry
and business concern of any conse-
quence is begging for help, they
would and that the prospect of pro-
hibltion is not nearly so dreadful
as they seem to imagine.
1t there ever was a propitious time
tor prohibition, considering the in
.terests OF the people employed in the
whlskey and beer industries, that
time is now, when not only Georgia
but all other states are in the throes
OF labor shortage that grows more
acute from day to day.
1t is safe to say that Georgia farm
ers alone could furnish lucrative en-
ployment to an army of 10000 to
$4,000 men thrown out of work by
prohibition. The exodus of negroes
away from this state, which COM
menced before the war, coupled with
the voluntary enlistments and the
draft, coupled with the large move
ment of men from the farms to pub
lie work for the government, have
created the worst labor shortage in
the history of the state.
The cry of throwing people out of
employment on account of national
prohibition will certainly have no
weight with the Georg legislature
when it considers the proposed pro-
hibition amendment to the federal
at its session this sum-
mer.
