Labor's Appeal

From an Address by Pasadena's Board of Labor, "To the Members of Organized Labor"
IT is argued against national prohibition that many thousands of men will be thrown out of work, but we honestly believe that these men will be better employed in the manufacture of the many household necessities and the building of better homes, of which the wives and children of labor are now deprived, and to which you and they are entitled. . . .
Our brothers call upon us to save their jobs for them, and we reply that part of the wages of the working class now spent for liquor will be spent in more food, clothing, furniture, and books, the manufacture of which will give the more jobs and better jobs than they now have.
