From an address by Pasadena's Board of Labor to the members of organized labor.

TO-DAY the amount of beer and other liquor consumed by the working class of this city is almost negligible, and would be still less if it were not that we are located but ten miles from Los Angeles, with its wide-open saloons.

But even with this disadvantage, our wage-earners' money—in some localities ordinarily spent for liquor—is used in our homes, on articles of necessity for the family.

Our wives and children are better fed, clothed, housed, and educated, and in all respects our men are better sons, fathers, and citizens.
