Labor Day is Dry In America

Monday September 2 our nation pauses to honor the
millions of men and women who are contributing to our
prosperity and general welfare through the labor Of their
hands The common conception of Labor Day. is that it
is dedicated especially to the rank and file of those who
compose great labor organizations. In broader
sense however it is a day dedicated to all tolerS,
whether it be those who toll in the professions those
who capitalize their muscle and the skill of their hands.
There is nothing ennobling than honest toll and it
is fitting indeed that Labor Day is generally recognized
throughout country.
consideration of the meaning of this day suggests
some pertinent facts about national prohibition
policy their relationship to prosperity and well
fare 1t is doubtful if any class of citizens has benefited
by prohibition to larger extent than has organized
labor. The standard of living of the men who toll in
dry United States constant of establishment
to the people of other countries The tolers in this
country drive their automobiles. large percent
age of them own their own homes and hundreds of thou
sands of others buying their homes through the
building and loan associations In their homes are found
not only the necessities which make life comfortable and
happy but here too found Injuries the piano. RADIO
telephone and the latest electrical equipment to make
house work easy for the wife The possession of these
home comforts contributes to increased production by
the manufacturers which means increased jobs for the
workers Labor organizations own and operate their
savings banks scores of them.
There has been serious labor strike in this country
since national prohibition became operative. No longer
there saloons located in close proximity to labor
ganization assembly halls to tempt the to spend
their earnings for liquor, which when consumed
frequent of foolish action by local labor organza
TONS sometimes precipating strikes and riots There
has been great widespread unemployment problem
since national prohibition became operative The old
bread lines of saloon days have taken their place with
the dodo bird.
Prohibition is not wholly responsible for this astound-
ing prosperity, the like of which has been
before but most asSuredly large contributing fac
tor to it, Political economists agreed this point
Irving Fisher, head of the economics department of
Yale says that in his opinion prohibition has added six
billion dollars to annual income represented in in
creased production increased earning power of working
and increased wealth.
And this prosperity that has to the working
men is shared mutually with that other large class of
workers known as the employers of labor.
Therefore on this Labor Day of 1929 every well wish
which fastened itself the industrial life of
nation the legaized liquor traffic, has been killed.
