CONTROLLING THE LIQUOR S; TRAFFIC. !' wf- '... '-- ■ Pvs " ' UnitEij \ Press As'sooUTibN. \ j | (Received 11.55 a.m.);'. ' tcu 'London, November 22. The report of the Central sßoard Controlling, the Liquor Traffic, shows that the prosecutions for drunkenness dropped forty per cent, in the first four weeks, compared to the preceding months. A meeting of three hundred delegates from seven unions, including the Railwaymen, demanded the withdrawal of the restriction in London of the hours for the sale of liquor. The meeting hinted they would "down tools" if the restrictions were enforced. Mr Lloyd George, in the House of Commons, said that where the restrictions had been introduced there had been an appreciable diminution in drunkenness, and a considerable reduction in the amount of liquor consumed. More effective work had been performed.
