No Benefit to Labor

By Pasadena's Board of Labor

THERE is no other industry in the land which returns so little to labor as the liquor industries. The profits in this business are something enormous, as is well known to every one, and the workers in the business receive only a very small portion of the retail price. The immense profit goes to the owners of breweries and distilleries, and the saloon-keepers.
None of their circulars defend the drinking habit. None of them tell you that your health and intelligence will be made better by drinking.
Why?
Because they know that there is no defense that can be made along that line. Every man who drinks has himself many times cursed the day that he began the habit. —Pasadena's Board of Labor, "Address to the Members of Organized Labor."
