WEARY WORKINGMEN
WANT 1T WET

When the Illinois State Federation
of Labor convened at Champaign in
September, they voted to follow in
the footsteps of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor and demand beer and
light wines. That is right, men,
speak out and notify the fanatics
that you are weary of pussyfooting,
because you have ere this had ample
time to be convinced that dry shout
er, Johnson, is the only one who is
able to cash in on the pussyfooting
game, as you've been at it over five
years, and it hasn't gotten you any
place, and especially in Illinois,
where that trusty dry lieutenant, Boss
Mcbride. stands on guard If Nc
Bride and his henchmen continue de-
flying the will of the sovereign voters
of Illinois little longer, the state
can almost be classed with Indiana,
which is certainly making a desper-
ate attempt to show them what a
real Sahara actually means Just as
soon as they can get all of their in
tended plans for intimidation in good
working order. That is certainly
good form, fanatics just show the
boys that their evasion plans are all
cancelled then they'll be able to per-
ceive that they are being given a
change of venue to the Association
Against the Prohibition Amendment,
where the risky pans o. evasion and
taking a chance are superseded by
the straightforward and honorable
plans of repeal or modification, for
relief and liberty's restoration.
FARMHoUsEs FIND FORMER
VOCATION OBSOLETE
Yes, they are now to be given
new opportunity chance to enter
a business which promises more rev
enue, but as to the permanent, safe |
and solid character of this new line |
of activity we are making no guar
antees. An innocent looking farm
house near La Sale, Illinois, was re-
Gently found to house a modern, elec-
trically operated brewery having a
capacity of so barrels daily and 800 |
barrels were found in storage. This |
stock being a days run, you will (
note that the operator was willing !
to wait a whole week before collect |
ing the money for his green and |
probably unwhOlesome beer.
Thus is the reader given an op-
portunity to realize how vastly SUI |
periOr is this modern and up-to-date |
plan of illegitimate supply and dis |
tributiOn as compared with the old !
antiquated way of handling through I
legitimate channels and kept in the |
hands of experienced and trustWOr- I
thy men who were not only honor
able but accountable for their every
act Nuf Ced! your next move-but !
if you admire this modern style do !
not cast your lot with the Association |
Against the Prohibition Amendment,
as their plans will be found to be
at variance and if you are a true |
modern you'll be disappointed and |
have to seek an Anti-Saloon League
emissary.
VICIOUS VoLsTEADIc VIGILANCE
Yes, vicious carelessness and per-
petrated by the Lehigh Valley Rail-
road, too, that has had the audaci-
Gus temerity to let whole carloads
of real beer roll over the rails of
the railroad owned by them. Then
think of their pleading innocence by !
saying they were unaware of con-
tents-Why the idea of attempting
such an alibi. They seem to have
forgotten that the precious Volstead
law is the one most important thing
in this U. S. today and that even
though they pass sleepless nights and |
