Dr Potter, head of the Spokane board of health, warns unions that using this year’s liquor sale permit risks jail. In past years the street railway company funded unions’ park day by taking a cut of liquor receipts, then letting a bar operate under its license. Unions bring 10 000 to 20 000 people, cashing out a share that rarely exceeds 125. Potter supports law and order, while unions plan to run the bar despite the prohibition.
