BRITISH BAR MEN ASK
FOR TWELVE HOUR DAY

LONDON, Nov. 5-Twelve hours
a day for drinking will be proposed
by British saloonkeepers in a bill
they expect to introduce into parlia-
ment. Before the war the number
OF week day hours for the sale of
liquor was fixed at 1917 in London.
II In provincial towns and 6 in the
country.
The new bill proposes to leave
Sunday hours substantially as they
were in pre-war times, the London
num- Der. Z, being applied to the
whole of England.
Trainers of the measure say they
are seeking TO convert the public
house from a place used merely for
the consumption OF alcoholic drinks
into one Of varied public refreshment
and social entertainment. They
propose to remodel public houses in
order TO make them commodious and
airy and to introduce music dane
ing and games.
Temperance leaders strongly OPP
pose the bill. The liquor trade, f"
commented George B. Wilson, sec
retary OF the United Kingdom Ali
ance, fears the advance of public
opinion in this country and is alarm
ed by what has taken place in Amer
lea. 1t is proposed to make the
drink shop so attractive that 1t will
become the social center of the
neighborhood. open apparently 20
women and children, as we'll as men.
Ii seems impossible TO believe that
the great volume Of public opinion
will agree TO a measure which will
enormously increase the power Of
drink"
Under the wartime regulations
which are still effective. hours for
the sale of drinks in public houses
are restricted to between IL o'clock
noon and 1880 p. m, and between
6 and 10 p. m.
