Boycott the Saloon, Enemy of Labor

By Christian Evangelist

WHILE the Knights of Labor have their hands in, we suggest that they "boycott" the worst enemy that labor has ever had. We hear of them boycotting merchants, manufacturers, street-car lines, and even a tobacco factory, but we have never heard of them boycotting the saloon. Yet the last tyrannical monopoly demands as a tribute one-third of the wages of labor in this country, and gives worse than nothing in return.—Christian Evangelist.
