National Wartime Prohibition Will Increase Our Supply of Food and Coal, Improve Trans portation, Increase Labor Efficiency and Pros perity, Add to Our Man Power, Reduce Cost of Building and Hasten Winning the War. The building business is threatened by the Government with extinction for the period of the war. Why? Buildings require steel, cast iron, cement, bricks, lime, glass and other materials, using coal for their production, and there is not sufficient coal for the War Indus tries, domestic use and non-essentials. We cheerfully submit, but why the necessity? Over sixty million tons additional coal could be produced without employing one more man or investing one more dollar in the mining industry, by the simple expedient of absolute bone-dry national prohibition. 0&& m (" Anthracite mine owners and operators last year estimated their annual loss ofvproduction, due to drink, at seven and one-half million tons, or 11, and the National Coal Association, representing all bituminous coal mine owners and oper ators, a few months ago warned the country that it could not continue to have booze and haye enough coal for this winter, and the shortage would be one hundred mil lion tons. Their production is seven and one-half times the production of Anthra cite, and 11 makes a total shortage due to drink of SIXTY-THREE MILLION TONS. . More coal and the increased' labor efficiency due to sobriety would increase the output of steel, cement and other building materials 15 to 25. Cement mills are only- allotted 75 and brick kilns 50 of their normal output MANUFACTURERS, BUILDERS, SUB - CONTRACTORS, WORKING MEN, you must choose between coal and booze. THE CLOSING OF THE BREWERIES DECEMBER 1ST WILL NOT BE A SUFFICIENT REMEDY WHILE OVER A YEAR'S SUPPLY OF FER MENTED AND DISTILLED LIQUORS REMAIN IN STOCK. The Government should immediately commandeer for non-beverage uses all liquors in bond and on sale. According to the Emergency Fleet News, the shipbuilders on the 'Pacific coast and Michigan (dry States) are turning out more vessels and tonnage vith fewer men than the Atlantic coast shipyards, and they have won all records for speed except one in Camden. Thomas Mason, the superintendent, had a picked non-drinking organization of workers on the Tuckahoe. The workmen engaged in liquor industries are needed for war production work, and will be immediately absorbed. Business men and workmen can afford to buy more Liberty Bonds when this hindrance is removed. GOVERNOR HATFIELD, Virginias "Business ha improved) arrests decreased satinf bank deposit swelled) prohibition a great success." GOVERNOR CLARK, towat '"Arrests reduced 40 to 45 per cent commitment to State hospitals greatly decreased i demands on poor fund much reduced) practically all, merchants say collection much improved," GOVERNOR HAYS, Arkansas x "Ninety per cent fewer .arrests for drunken, ness) prohibition great success."

GOVERNOR CARLSON, Colorado) "Two thousand new savings accounts opened in one Month) collection in department stores broke all records credit men report many overdue accounts, deemed uncollectible, paid up) crime reduced greatly. GOVERNOR HUNT, Arlaonat "Marked decrease in commitments to prison and insane hospital) needy families perceptibly decreased) no adverse effect upon, legitimate business." GOVERNOR HANNA, North Dakota: "Both from moral and financial standpoint prohibition has been a success in North Dakota." GOVERNOR CAPPER, Kansas "Wealth per capita greater than any other State) death rate lowest per capita) bank deposits largest of any State) fewest tenants, most home-owners of any State) no open barrooms and auto to every fifth family) two million people who never saw a saloon." GOVERNOR ALEXANDER, Idaho t "Never such beneficial results from any V measure in so short a time) Boise chief of police and four policemen dis missed because no Jonger needed) police courts deserted) city and county jails empty) savings bank deposits increased) accidents decreased." Arrests For All Causes In Philadelphia and Throughout Pennsylvania Have Decreased Four-Fifths This Week Since the Sale of Liquor Has Been Temporarily Stopped While our boys are fighting in France to protect u from the Hunt, shall we refute them food and sufficient supplies in order that the liquor business may get fancy prices for the stock on hand?
