Labor and Prohibition

At a meeting in this city Sunday night prominent member of the Arizona Federation of La declared that prohibition had done for the of labor than other influence. It had only enabled the workngman his money but had given him time which otherwise might have been passed in q sodden state to study how he might better himself.
 We have often called attention the that organized labor in this has largely been side of prohibition. Without it the constitutional amendment of 1914 could not have been adopted Its representatives foremost in the preliminary campaign against the saloons and took most active part in the organization. That, of course, has not been the attitude of labor everywhere but think that majority of laboring men have been favorable to prohibition High officials of organized labor have been hostile but feel that that hostility did not extend to the rank and file.
 year ago the display of the mo beer work" buttons may have given impression that labor resentng the restriction prohibition That inn pression perhaps deepened by the frequent sertion of those who appointed themselves to speak for labor, that the industrial a resentment by workers of prohibition.
 That has been proved not to be the We have just seen analysis of the result of ques- tionnaire sent to secretaries of labor ferent sections of the country Five twenty-six replies were received, the range being coast northern boundary of the United States the southern, they may be taken fairly representative. Of these 345 hold that prohibition has been benefit work insnen; 145 that it has not; 31 doubtful say that prohibition has yet given a fair trial.
 The result of this Independent inquiry may be accepted everywhere conclusive, it tainly points the way to a determination different from what has generally been fact is that for long time the practice of total abstinence been growing among workers Excessive indulgence in liquor had unftted the exactng duties of modern industry the job did not like to risk his safety the whose nerves and judgment impaired by strong drink. Foremen did want the drunkard and his way became harder and harder.
 The present clamor repeal of prohibition and that the entirely of pro- portion to the number of people are making it. does not come from the worker is not made in his behalf.
