C. L. U. Objects to Prohibition in Boston Labor Session
Boston Central Labor Union delegates voted unanimously against prohibition and the proposed constitutional amendment. They argued the measure would cost thousands of union jobs and harm workers, urging broad personal liberty within law. The group called for temperance in all things and cited government statistics on illegitimate liquor traffic and lost revenue. A new committee was formed to assist hatters and organize labor, with Sweet, Huddell, McCarthy, English, and Ward named.
