In the Fight to Stay
I have been criticized for my fight
against the saloon, but I give no-
tice here and now that I will fight
the traffic as long as there is a sa-
loon left. There are too many
people in this world who are afraid
to tackle the saloon. Too many
men and women are going down
the stream to degradation for me to keep
silent. To the trades unionist there is no
redeeming feature in the saloon. Go any-
where its influence is felt and you see the
demoralization it brings. We are fighting for
social well-being, civic benefits and moral
uplift. Never a foul plot is organized to injure
public rights and social well-being but the
saloon is used for the job. They never use
the trade unions or the ministerial associa-
tion. The saloon is the enemy of the people
for whom we work.
JOHN B. LENNON,
Treasurer of the American Federation of Labor.
