Driven to Slavery

By John Lennon

THE saloon is sending more children into the factory, the mines, the mills and shops, that ought to be at school or play, than the influence of the trade-union has been able to eliminate, either by direct action or by legislation. . . . The saloon influence is driving by the thousands women into the industrial world who ought to be at home.

If any of the organized wageworkers of your community doubt these assertions, let them go out and do a little studying for themselves. -John Lennon, Labor Leader.
