Hi Wham- Please note that the source of his Wikipedia entry is "Temperance Movement Groups and Leaders in the U.S.," from which the reference and other material in bold was taken. Omission of this source reference has been corrected.David Justin 01:00, 30 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

The Anti-Saloon League launched the Board of Temperance Strategy to coordinate resistance to the growing public demand for the repeal of prohibition (1920–1933) that was occurring in the U.S. in the early 1930s.

The Board of Temperance Strategy consisted of representatives from 33 major anti-alcohol or temperance organizations. The effort failed and the national prohibition of alcohol was repealed in December of 1933.
