Shriners Favor Prohibition for Shrine Temples Nationwide
The Imperial Council of the Shriners in Atlantic City urged the 145 U S temples to bar intoxicants from all Shrine buildings and meetings the move mirrors a broad temperance trend already seen in Boston and among Elks. Recorder Benjamin W Rowell says the recommendation is advisory and aims to align Shrines with the national temperance wave. The proposal targets temples that have not yet banned alcohol and expects influence from the majority already alcohol-free.
