"Drunkenness was immediately cut in half, and many taverns went bankrupt. Crime was so diminished that judges were presented with white gloves signifying that there were no cases of murder, assault, rape or robbery or the like to consider. The police became unemployed in many districts. Stoppage occurred in coal mines, not due to unpleasantness due to management and workers, but because so many foul-mouth miners became converted and stopped using foul language that the horses which hauled the coal trucks in the mines could no longer understand what was being said to them."
