Farm Club Work HITING WILLIAMS On Labor Habits
Writer and lecturer HITING WILLIAMS argues that American workers drink far less now than in the past and far less than Russians, French, and British workers. He recalls Hempstead days when 13 hour shifts ended with saloon visits, but says modern laborers do not crowd speakeasies. He notes British drinking harms industry and world prestige.
