He was quite sure that their temperance friiends who .sat in their armchairs would''soon jump out-of them- if they had a-liittle more experience of thexbnditions of the large centres." He was perfectly' convinced"that whilst .thej*, WL-re pleasefl to know that^^there had-been a diminiition in 'the consumption'of drink, theni.ptil:! remained a tremendous amount


I of worse to I/O done before they could be &.it;siied as citizens, lot'alone as temperance workers.


• ^ After referring to the late closing of*


publu:-houses in London, Mr. Shacklelton said it was not always pleasant for a Labour man lO take part in tem'peranco mee?!;mgs^ q'hev rc(.*eive<l a number c f kicks through it. (r.aughtejr). He was. pleased to note the decrease which, was taking place in the coni' sr.miition of drink. During the year 1909 there-had been-a reduction o f 'a b o u t six million pounds, and they were.all proud of chi.s fact. ' Thev. however, were not satis- fied. When there was a dinuimition of drink it was not ithe nation which cried out but the neoole conce‘rned in -the - industry, ri'.e v should rememl>er that 80 to 90 , p e r


coni’, c f crime commilited in this country was i.lu.e to drink. The slum dwellers were the mo.=?t difficult set o f people^Wiith which thev had to deal.


: v ■ Monev spent in ' drink, added -Mr.


Shackleton. was entirely wasted apart from the mi&erv it wrought. Thev did not hear quire as much the remark that drinks.was the re.sultrcl Dovertv.-' Poverty wa.s the result of drink. (.Applause). T h e T.aboim partv were.going-to give more of their,time to the work-of temperance reform. Labour leaders in all countries were conscious of. the need for reform in this direction. . - I-Ie riche speaker^ Questioned the truth of the assertion that-.lhev could not make people teetotal bv Act of Parliament.
