INTERFERING WITH THE OUTPUT OF MUNITIONS,
EXCESSIVE DRINKING AMONG WORKMEN.
LONDON, March 30, The Rt. Hon. Mr. Lloyd vorge received a deputation of the Shipbuild- ing Employers Federation who, after mentioning that noon of them were teetotallers, arged the total closing of publia.houses and clubs in the areas where munitions are produced. They declared that excessive drinking was seriously interfering with the cutput of munitions.
Mr. Lloyd George said he had had an audiance of the King that morn- ing His Majesty was deeply concerned about the question. Mr. Lloyd Onorge said he was convinced that the country was beginning, to realise the gravity of the position arising from drink facilities, and that the 'feeling was growing that only ront-and-brauch methods would be of the slightest avail The success of the war was now purely question of munitions. This was the conviction of Lord Kitchener as well as of Sir John French. The repre- sentations ct the deputation would carry great weight with the Cabinet in making a final decision on the matter,
