LESS FOOD—CONTINUED FOOD DESTRUCTION.
[To THE EDITOR or THE " SPECEATOR.'1
ffia,—The following is a copy of a circular (without printer's name) which has been sent to the Secretaries of Trade Unions and Friendly Societies in a manufacturing district in the North of England:— " -- and District Beer, Spirit, and Wine Trades' Association.
We are instructed to ask you to be good enough to try and get your Society to pass the following Resolution (in own words) as early as possible and forward to
The FOOD CONTROLLER, The MINISTER OF MUNITIONS,
The Palms MisasTse.
The Rt. Hon. G. N. BARNES, M.P., The Rt. Hon. BONAR LAW, M.P., And to the LOCAL MEMBER OF PARLIABIENT.
The Members of this Trade Union (or Friendly Society) numbering Members, desire to protest strongly against the continued restrictions on the Output of Beer as being entirely unnecessary and causing a vast amount of discontent among the workers, whose only desire is to do the very best they can for their Country to help to win the War. They hope the. Government will accede to the legitimate and moderate wishes of the working classes of this Country, and grant, without delay, an adequate supply of Beer. If this is done the action of the Government will be very much appreciated."
This bears the signature of the Chairman and Secretary of the Association, one of whom is the present Mayor of the Borough. Further comments I think are needless.—I am, Sir, &c.,
MANDFACTURZE.
