Tells Judges 5,000 Workers
Spend Fifth of Wages for Liquor
Greensburg, Pa.“ One of the strong
est arguments ever presented against
liquor and the licensed saloons has
been filed here with the judges of
Westmoreland county by Wallace H.
Rowe, president of the Pittsburg Steel
Company, employing more than 6,000
men in Its two plants.
Mr. Rowe's petition declares that the
high cost of living is made more bur
densome on families of working men
because 20 per cent of the workers’
earnings go to the saloons; and that
at the same time the cost of steel pro
duction is increased by an overhead
charge for accidents, 85 per cent of
which are due directly or Indirectly, to
liquor.
Further, Mr. Rowe, who is one of the
largest and most influential employers
in the western end of the state, pro
tests fegainst the excessive number of
saloons forced on the communities
through political pull used by the li
quor ring in obtaining licenses.
This condition has created such
sharp competition among the saloon
keepers Mr. Rowe explains, that they
resort to Improper and law-violating
tactics to increase their business. In
this way the communities are taxed
with burdensome expenses In suppres
sing and prosecuting the disorder and
crime produced by the saloons in their
lawles- ebmpetitlon for trade.
R u .A Causes Many Accidents.
Mr. Rowe asks for the total elimina
tion of saloons as an ideal condition, or
for the elimination of twelve of the
sixteen saloons in Monessen as a step
toward the ideal. His remarkable pe
tition to the Westmoreland judges
reads: .
"Gentlemen: This company has in
Its employ in mills located in your
county 4.500 men, and in the Seamless
Tube Plant of the Pittsburg Steel Pro
ducts Company, an hilled company, 750
men both mills being located at Mo
nessen Pa. The two companies have
a payroll of $300,000 per month Many
of our men are highly skilled, earning
large wages, and their employment is
perilous.
"We have experienced a growing in
efficiency of the services of these men
and increased carelessness in the mills,

ly attributable to the excessive use of
beer, whiskey and other alcoholic
drinks. This evil has been growing
rapidly, until our company has been
compelled to impose restrictions on our
men as *»• the use of liquors, with some
beneficial results, but the safety of
our men and the efficient conduct of
our business cannot be attained unless
a radical change In such habits can be
secured.
"One of the largest steel companies
in this district, after an exhaustive ex
amination of the causes of accidents in
the mills makes the broad statement
that 85 per cent of such accidents are
attributable directly or indirectly to
liquor. The efficiency of our men has
been so reduced in receht years as to
show that at least, If not more, than
one-tenth of our payroll is paid out
for services not rendered and at least
20 per cent of the money we pay our
men is spent upon liquor and lost to
the use of their families.
"This evil has grown so greatly, es
pecially during the last two or three
years, that products have cost more to
make, accidents have increased, and
nothwithstanding wages have not been
reduced one dollar, even during the
repressed times we are passing
through, our men make less savings
of their wages, and their families get
less benefit of their labor than in for
mer times.
"In our opinion, the greatest evil
connected with the sale of liquor is the
saloon, which exists in such excessive
numbers in Monessen as to cause them
to conduct their business improperly
and to violate the laws in the effort to
get as much of the competitive busi
ness as they can. Many of the clubs
in Monessen are an equa’iy had influ
ence on the people, and our informa
tion is that the town Is filled with
such clubs, which are, In fact, only
drinking places where young men es
pecially drink and gamble after the sa
loons are closed.
"However, we are not dealing with
the clubs in this communication. That
matter must be taken up in another
way.
“The purpose of this letter is to call
your attention especially to the un
necessarily large number of saloons li-

belief that if you will cut down the li
censes from sixteen at present to four,
you will be doing the community a
great good. We have no suggestion
to make as to which four you shall se

that these licenses should be granted
in the business portion of the town of
Monessen and not be scattered among
the homes of the citizens and at the
entrances of the mills in the borough,
and only those should be granted
which furnish proper hotel accommo
dations and are not simply bars.
"We also call your attention to the
abuse of brewery licenses In the bor
ough of Monessen. Beer is delivered
in tremendous quantities by these
breweries to the homes of our em
ployes. especially those of foreign na
tionalities, with the result that Satur
day night and Sunday becomes a per
iod of drunkenness, turmoil and fight
ing.
"In consequence of which, If they re
turn to work at all on Monday morn

duties. This evil of brewery deliveries
to homes has commanded attention

"To show the prostituting effect of
liquor on the citizens of Monessen,
and more especially upon the foreign
ers, we have received from the bur
gess a record covering a period of
forty-seven days. The total number
of cases was 106 out of which eighty
nine might be attributed reasonably
to the use of liquor, and eighty-three
of them were the direct result of
drunkenness, fighting and disorderly
conduct.
Liquor Adds to Living Cost.
"As a social and economic question,
this subject of reducing the saloon li
censes and controlling delivery by the
breweries cannot receive too much of
your attention. We think we are safe
in saying that the workmen spend at
least 20 per cent of the wages we pay
them for liquor, and their families arc
deprived of the benefit of this much of
their earnings

ing and low prices for products made
in our works, rendering it impossible
for employers to Increase wages and
