WHAT PROHIBITION WOULD MEAN To the Workers of America-Over a Million Would be Affected-An Appalling Prospect. The Brewers, Maltsters and Distillers of the United States Consume in their Products Every Year: Lumber, Rubber Goods, Steam Engines, Machinery, Tools, Steam Fittings, Railroad, Freight and Express Charges.... Making a total paid into the producing sources of the U.S. of................ These industries and the Allied Trades have a total investment of upward of $3,100,000,000.00. They pay annually State and Government License amounting to $271,867,990.00. In addition they annually pay City License, Real Estate, and Personal Property Taxes aggregating the enor mous total of $84,500,000.00. The continued growth of Prohibition and the destruction of the Brewing and Distilling industries will result in the Farmer and the Allied Trades in all lines of manufacture being made to suffer great losses through the destroyed market for their products. To deprive a million workmen of their personal liberty and an opportunity to earn a livelihood at their chosen trades, with all attendant suffering and misery, will be the result of the prohibition movement, if the prohibitionists have their way. To destroy an industry providing employment for upwards of a million workmen is the object of their campaign, and in their policy of destruction they have nothing to offer as a solace to this million and the families dependent upon them. The wine growers of California alone have $100,000,000 invested, which is to be destroyed and their thousands of employees impoverished. The prohibitionists propose to destroy a market for the farmers' grain that takes a territory equal to two States to grow, and all this land and the millions it cost may be laid waste and the people employed thereon may wander to the four corners of the earth for all the prohibitionist cares. The prospect of making deserts of farms and paupers of workingmen and their familles does not deter them in their work. Should this movement be fully successful the hundreds of millions of dollars invested in these industries will be wiped out, with no possible chance to realize on the assets, and the millions paid out in wages would be stopped. The thousands of brewery workmen who have learned the trade will find themselves without an occupation and will be thrown out on the world upon an already panic-stricken labor market. The trained workman will be forced to secure work at anything that offers, at wages anybody wants to pay him. His union will be destroyed, and all protection taken away from him, and the prohibitionists will wish him God-speed. A source of revenue of over $100,000,000 to the National Government, and other hundreds of millions to the local governments will be destroyed, which the prohibitionist makes no provision to secure. His mission is ended when he has completed his work of destruction. These millions will have to be made up by the innocent public, which has not yet begun to realize what the destructive policy of the prohibitionists means. The consummation of the prohibition movement will paralyze the woodworking industry for years, and the woodworkers will be left without jobs. Glassblowing will be an extinct industry and the plate glass workers' ranks will be cut almost in two. Union cigarmakers will find a market for 50 per cent of their output destroyed, and they will have to look to some other occupation to earn a livelihood for themselves and their children. No prohibitionist will give them work; he is merely advancing their moral welfare. Their material welfare does not concern him. Success of prohibition in Chicago alone would leave upwards of 7,000 store buildings vacant, which would paralyze the building industry and real estate market for years, throw out of work upwards of 70,000 men, and take away from the city a source of revenue which nets $8,000,000 annually, eight-tenths of what it takes to maintain the public school system of that city. In New York State alone not less than 50 000 people are dependent upon the brewing industry for their support. The trade pays annually in taxation over $18.000,000 to the National and State governments. The thousands of boxmakers and coopers who make the millions of boxes and barrels used in the trade will be left destitute, with no relief in sight, and the thousands of teamsters engaged in hauling these products will find their occupations gone, for the blight of prohibition is permanent on the workingman. How widespread and far-reaching in its baneful effects upon industry is prohibition one illustration will suffice to show. The millions of tons of coal that are consumed in the industry the prohibitionist seeks to destroy gives employment to 10,000 miners, all of whom would be thrown out of work should prohibition succeed. Brickmakers, masons, and builders, machinists, steamfitters, plumbers, wagonmakers, waiters, bartenders, advertisers, printers, electricians, persons engaged in transportation, cash register makers, and thousands of other workers will find that the prohibition panic is the most permanent and far-reaching of all panics so far experienced. The unions will feel it more than any other class. The unemploved of the United States just at the present time number many thousands who are clamoring for food and shelter. The prohibition movement, if allowed to expand, will certainly aggravate these conditions by adding many thousands to the number of unemployed and overloading the taxpayer by compelling him to shoulder expenses now borne by the industries that the prohibitionists are attempting to put out of business. In Alabama and Georgia, where prohibition has been in force for about two months, unions are already sending in their charters with the statement that their occupations are gone and that prohibition did it What has been done in Alabama and Georgia will be duplicated in other States unless the workingmen arouse themselves and take a stand against the destructive policy that is throwing their brothers out of work in all parts of the nation. No matter what the prohibitionist's object may be, the result of his success will be to throw out of work a million men, causing a wide-spread panic that will result in attempts at wage reductions, starvation, misery, crime and demoralization amon~ age-earners of America.
