THE PEOPLE'S REFRESHMENT
HOUSE ASSOCIATION, LTD. . .
(P. R. H. A.)
FOUNDED 1895.
TO WORK THROUGHOUT
ENGLAND AND WALES.
Aims.
I. The encouragement of temperance in
the use of alcoholic drinks at Inns, Public
Houses, and Canteens (the purely tourist hotel
being left out of the scheme).
II. The provision of facilities for the
prompt supply of food and non-alcoholic
refreshment at such houses.
III. Maintenance of cleanliness and good
order.
IV. The purchase of good supplies in the
open market.
“SPARKFORD " INN, SPARKFORD, SOMERSET.
Taken over, 0ctober, 1897.

Methods.
I. The resident licensed Managers obtain
no profit on alcoholic sales.
II. Managers receive a commission on
the sale of food and non-intoxicants, and are
bound by their Agreement to supply these
when asked for.
III. Tea, coffee, and cocoa are as cheap
for the workman as beer, viz., Id. per cup.
IV. No credit is allowed.
V. Houses are not “ tied ” to Brewers or
Spirit Merchants.
VI. There are frequent inspections at
irregular intervals (see Instructions to
Managers at end of book).
VII. Alcoholics are not advertised, except
in the necessary price lists.
VIII. Shareholders cannot receive more
than 5 per cent., nor can they hold more
than 200 A.I shares.
Some Results.
ALCOHOLIC SALES have considerably
decreased at the houses which have been
held for several years.
TEA, COFFEE, &c., are readily asked
for by carters, labourers, and artisans, who
find that these are to be cheaply obtained.
(Printed notices call customers’ attention to
the non-intoxicant side of the trade.) At
one house, 8 gallons of tea, &c., have been
sold before breakfast.
LUNCHEONS AND TEAS are served
to cyclists and others in bright Tea-rooms
quite distinct from the Bars. Tea-gardens
have been laid out wherever possible. (Prizes
are given for the best tended houses and
gardens.) At a house where no refreshments
had been served, 720 persons obtained
luncheon and tea in the first five months of
our management.
FINANCE.-The maximum dividend of
5 per cent. has been paid continuously each
year since 1899, the Reserve Fund stands at
£480 (with the prospect of a large increase
for 1906), about £2,000 has been written off
furniture and fittings, and £212 paid out for
public utility, in addition to ordinary local
subscriptions.
PERSONNEL.-Good men, who would
not take a tied house, are anxious to work
under the reformed system, which involves
them in no financial risk, and gives them
the chance of a substantial income by
developing the refreshment side of the trade.
A CLEAN RECORD.—No Manager has
been convicted of any offence against the
licensing laws since the Association was
founded in 1896.

A SHORT HISTORICAL SUMMARY.
By the year 1871 both Norway and Sweden had
passed stringent laws against the free distillation of
spirits, and had established a system of virtual pro-
hibition in country districts. At the same time,
however, all considerable townships were given power
to conduct their spirit traffic by means of semi-public
Companies (called “Samlags ’’ in Norway, “Bolags ’’
in Sweden). All the spirit-licences of a town, with the
exception of a few specially privileged, could be handed
over to one local Company, whose dividends were to
be limited to 5 or 6 per cent., the surplus profits being
devoted to the relief of rates, or to the establishment
of parks, roads, and charitable institutions. Of late
years, the larger share of profits from the Norwegian
Samlags passes to the national exchequer, but in
Sweden the local interest in the profits still remains.
It must be remembered that beer, as a compara-
tively light and also unpopular drink, was not feared
by these early reformers; they regulated, therefore,
only the spirit-bars of the towns, and allowed free
trade in beer. During the last few years the sales of
beer have enormously increased, whilst the consumption
of spirits per head has considerably diminished. Spirit-
licences have been reduced in number, hours of sale
have been restricted within strangely narrow limits,
9
and persons under 18 have been forbidden to obtain
drink at the bars—yet drunkenness is by no means
extinct. The reason is not far to seek. When Gothen-
burg itself is reported to contain about 800 houses
where drink is sold, of which only 70 are under any sort of
Company control, it is absurd to expect decisive results.
How can spirit-bars, at the rate of one to every 9,000
inhabitants, control the ways of the beer-drinker,
however strictly they may be managed ? The Gothen-
burg system, good as it is, is merely a patch on an old
garment—the obvious remedy is to extend the scheme
of responsible control and disinterested sale to the
trade in beer and wine.
In 1877 it was England's turn to take up the
management question. Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, who
had seen and approved of the Gothenburg system
as far as it went, obtained almost unanimous support
in Birmingham for a proposed experiment in municipal
control, but a resolution on these lines moved by him
in the House of Commons aroused little general interest,
and many unfruitful years elapsed. A bolder bid for
public attention was made in the 'nineties by the
Public House Reform Association, whose chief sup-
porters were the Bishop of Chester, Mr. Chamberlain,
the late Duke of Westminster, Lord Thring, and Tom
Hughes. The Bishop of Chester's Authorised Com-
panies Liquor Bill, introduced in the Lords in 1893,
more or less accurately represented the views of the
Association. Mr. Chamberlain, in a speech at Grosvenor
House on July 6, 1894, stated the scheme succinctly
as follows:—“It is proposed that Parliamentary powers
10

“MEYNELL INGRAM ARMS,” HOAR CROSS, BURTON-ON-TRENT.
Won the First Garden Prize, 1905,

shall be given to a public Company or, as I should
prefer to call it, a public Trust, to acquire by purchase
the whole of the licences in the town or district in
which it is formed. Of course it will follow from
this that, if these licences are so acquired, the licensing
authority will be forbidden to issue any other licences,
unless, it may be, under exceptional circumstances,
and then they must issue them to the Company which
possesses the rest, so that the Company or Trust will
have an absolute monopoly within its district.” Full
compensation was to be paid to brewers and publicans
thus displaced. The time was not ripe, however, for
so ambitious a scheme, and the Public House Reform
Association soon ceased to exist as an active pro-
pagandist body.
In the mean time a few licensed houses here and
there were being directly controlled by landowners—
notably the “Boar's Head,” Hampton Lucy, in which
the Rev. Osbert Mordaunt placed a paid manager
as early at 1877, with satisfactory results. Lord
Wantage, Lord Spencer, Lord Windsor, and the Hon.
F. L. Wood (now Meynell) made similar experiments,
and were well satisfied with them, but it was left to
Major H. J. Craufurd to lead the first organised attempt
at practical Public House Reform. The latter had
been able to effect considerable improvements in the
management of Army canteens, and he saw no reason
why a similar improvement should not be effected in
civilian liquor and refreshment supply. On October 13,
1895 Major Craufurd laid his scheme before the Bishop
of Chester in the following words:–“My idea, roughly,
11
is that a Society should be formed and registered, as
Co-operative Societies are, under the Industrial and
Provident Societies Act ; that capital bearing interest
at, say, 5 per cent. shall be raised among those who
are interested in the movement; that the Society
shall acquire public houses in villages and rural districts,
putting in a manager at a fixed salary, who shall work
the business on the lines advocated by the Public
House Reform Association, the profits being dis-
tributed on philanthropic lines, as may be decided
either by a General Committee on which the various
districts worked by the Society are represented, or by
a body of independent Trustees, whose position and
social status would place their administration of the
funds beyond question and criticism.
“I believe that there are throughout the land
a great number of landowners and clergymen of influence
who either own or have control over the village public
house, who would gladly, as the leases and licences
expire, instal a Society such as I describe, as lessees,
in preference to letting it to the ordinary publican,
or allowing it to drift into the hands of the local brewer
as a tied house.
“I have in my own experience two instances in
mind where I have no doubt, had a Society such as I
propose existed, it would have been called in to
administer the local public house on reformed lines.
“In one instance it was proposed to form a local
Committee to work the house and distribute the profits
for local public purposes, but the great trouble in
12
ºbuºnįT Åwp-x,$
“WHOM ‘NOLH0130 „“NWMS 3 LIHM ,,
- （ ）

prospect in making the arrangements and getting
together a Committee caused the scheme to fall through,
and the house now is tied to the local brewer.
“In the other case the clergyman of the parish
is himself working the house most successfully; but
I imagine he would in the first instance have much
preferred to call in the aid of a Society to take the
trouble and risk off his hands, and very likely now, to
secure continuity of administration in the future would
like to hand over his work to a Society to carry on.
“I believe that such a Society as proposed would,
by providing an easy means of introducing wholesome
reforms in the village drink-shop, be of much use
when its existence and objects became known.”
After some consideration of ways and means,
the People's Refreshment House Association, Ltd.,
was registered under the Industrial and Provident
Societies Act, in November, 1896, with the Bishop
of Chester as Chairman of the Executive Council,
and the following Vice-Presidents: The Duke of
Westminster, Lord Stamford, Lord Chelmsford, the
Bishop of Rochester, and Cardinal Vaughan—Major
Craufurd acting as Hon. Secretary to begin with, and
later as Chairman of Committee.
The Association declared itself ready to “promote
public-house reform, independently of further legis-
lation, by giving facilities for the wider adoption of the
system of management without private profit ’’ already
successfully at work in different parts of England.
Besides public houses the Association was prepared
13
to obtain control of canteens on large public works.
The proposed methods were described as follows:–
“I. Managers will be placed in charge of houses
acquired by the Association to work them on the
reformed system, the salient features of which are:—
(a) That the general arrangement and manage-
ment of the house shall be on the lines of
a respectable house of refreshment, instead
of a mere drinking bar.
(b) That food and non-intoxicant drinks shall be
exposed for sale on the counters, and supplied
to customers, on an equal footing with intoxi-
cants, the latter being deposed from the
objectionable prominence into which, from
motives of profit, they are forced in the
ordinary public house.
(c) That all temptation to the Manager to push
the sale of intoxicants be removed by charging
him at the full retail price for all alcoholics
consumed, whereas he will be supplied with
non-alcoholics at a price that will leave him
a fair profit for himself on their sale. Thus
it will be to his interest to push the trade in
non-intoxicants rather than in intoxicants.
(d) That great care be taken in guarding against
the evils of adulteration, and in providing
the best quality of liquor.
II. The capital which will from time to time be
wanted to develop the Society’s work, will be offered
14

to the public in the form of shares entitled to a dividend
out of profits at a rate not exceeding 5 per cent. per
àIllllllll.
III. All net profits will, after providing for a
reserve fund, &c., and paying interest on capital, be
devoted to such objects of public utility, local or
general, as the President and Vice-Presidents, in con-
Sultation with the Council, may determine.”
The first inn was taken over in October, 1897,
at Sparkford, Somerset. It was exactly the type
of house contemplated by the founders of the Asso-
ciation as best fitted for the initial experiment; i.e.,
a country inn, supplying the wants of the local farmers
and labourers, with no competitor in the village.
The “Sparkford Inn’’ benefited at once by the change
in management, and other houses were quickly offered
by sympathetic landowners. The three inns under
management at December 31, 1898, showed a loss
of £206; by the end of 1899 there were seven houses
all working smoothly, and the net profit on a capital
of £3,500 was £281, after writing off the previous
loss; at the end of 1900 there were fourteen houses,
on which the net profit was £387, whilst the paid-up
capital stood at £5,000. A sum of £112 was allotted
out of the surplus profits of 1899 to purposes of local
utility, and £100 was similarly allotted for 1900. No
manager had been convicted, or even proceeded against,
for the slightest breach of the licensing laws.
So far, then, the People's Refreshment House
Association had proved that organised reform was
15
possible on a small scale; it was now the turn of Lord
Grey, who had followed the work with interest, to give
a fresh impetus to the movement. At one moment
there was an idea of expanding the Association into a
large limited liability company with a capital of £100,000,
and power to push itself more actively throughout
the United Kingdom, but, after much discussion, the
policy was adopted of founding Public House Trust
Companies in each county and large town, so as to
make the most of local influence and energy—the
People's Refreshment House Association in the mean-
time to continue its business on parallel lines, and to
help new Companies with its advice when required.
Northumberland, Kent, and Hampshire led the way,
and by 1905 nearly every county was provided with
its own Trust. The total number of houses under
Trust and P.R.H.A. management has gradually risen
to 200. For information concerning any special
Company, readers are referred to the annual reports
of the Central Public House Trust Association, a pro-
pagandist body which does no trading of its own,
but which seeks to regulate the action of the indepen-
dent Companies by obtaining and imparting infor-
mation, and by giving opportunity for frequent dis-
cussion at meetings of local representatives. Lord
Lytton has now taken Lord Grey’s place as President
of this Central Association.
As was to be expected, some Trust Companies
have been successful from the beginning, whilst others
have met with serious difficulties. They are all trying
to solve the very problem which the People's Refresh-

ment House Association set itself ten years ago, and
it is too early as yet to speak as to the ultimate issue
of their efforts. The record of the Refreshment House
Association is, however, most encouraging. It will
be remembered that the Association controlled 14
houses at the beginning of 1901; this number has
now risen to 60, and yet the machinery works, if
anything, more smoothly than in the past, and there
seems to be no reason for expecting that 200 houses
should present any more difficulty than 60, if ordinary
business ability is shown. The maximum dividend of
5 per cent. has been earned for the shareholders con-
tinuously since 1899, though the paid-up capital has
increased from £3,500 to nearly £20,000, and the
reserve fund stands at £480 (with a probable increase
to £800 or £1,000 when the 1906 audit is complete).
The Association still holds a virgin record in face of
the many dangers of the licensed trade, and, though
it seems presumptuous to hope that this can go on for
ever, accumulated experience should lead to greater
and greater facility in choosing the right kind of man
for each post, and in controlling and encouraging him
when once appointed.
In one place the majority of customers will be
quiet labourers and farmers; in another there will
be a sudden influx of navvies to be coped with, whilst
at the same moment a cycle or motor party may be
using the tea-room. Managers therefore are of the
most varied types—they come from the Navy, the
Army, and from every kind of civil occupation.
17
However successful the centralised Refreshment
House Association or the localised Trust Companies
may be, it must be remembered that about 80 per
cent. of the licensed houses in England are firmly
tied to brewers or distillers, and are beyond the reach
of reforming zeal, without special legislation.
In the mean time, there is encouragement in the
fact that responsible bodies, such as the Leeds Cor-
poration, the Derwent Valley Water Board, the First
Garden City, and the representatives of the Crown,
should show their approval of the reformed system by
entrusting houses to our care. We must cultivate our
own garden, while the politicians are making up their
minds on the vexed questions of prohibition, local
option, and the like.

THE
People's Refreshment House Association,
LIMITED.
INSTRUCTIONS TO MANAGERS.
1. The Manager placed in charge of a public house
belonging to the Association must bear in mind that
he has been appointed by the Council to conduct the
management on certain fixed principles.
These principles are:—
(i.) That the general arrangement and manage-
ment of the house shall be on the lines of
a house of refreshment, instead of a mere
drinking bar.
(ii.) That food and a good variety of non-intoxicant
drinks shall be as easily accessible to cus-
tomers as beer and spirits.
(iii.) That the licensing laws enacted by Parlia-
ment for the regulation of public houses,
and the promotion of temperance, shall be
most strictly carried out in every particular.
(iv.) That a holder of a licence is in a sense a
servant of the public, and that he must
study the comfort, well-being, and health
26

“PORTSMOUTH ARMS," HURSTBOURNE PRIORS, HANTS,
On main road to Andover, Near Whitchurch and Winchester,

of his customers; that his house must
therefore be scrupulously clean, and that
the rooms most used by the public must be
comfortably arranged, well warmed in winter,
and well ventilated.
2. In entrusting this important responsibility to a
Manager the Council look to his assisting them by
letting his conduct be guided by the spirit, as well as
by the letter, of the principles to serve which the Asso-
ciation was formed. He is asked to regard himself as
an agent in the cause of temperance and good behaviour,
who by the general tone and system of management
of his house will make it a place where recreation and
social intercourse of a harmless nature may be enjoyed,
and where refreshments of the best quality may be
obtained under conditions that encourage temperance.
There can be no doubt that a public house manager,
who is actuated by a high sense of his responsibility
towards the public, may, by the exercise of his personal
influence, do great and permanent good. He should
get to know his customers, or those of them who most
frequent his house, so that he may be able, by an
opportune and kindly word, to help those whose self-
control in the use of intoxicants is weak, or by a timely
hint to check the excess which might lead to his having
to refuse a customer drink, or to order him out of the
house.
To subject persons using a licensed house to rules
and restrictions, other than those prescribed by law,
or sanctioned by the licensing authorities, would be
27
an infringement of the rights and freedom of the public
for whose convenience the licence was originally granted
and is yearly renewed. In such matters then as the
prevention of bad language and coarse behaviour the
Council can only rely on the establishment by the
Manager of a general tone in his house which will tend
powerfully towards their discouragement. It is possible
by constant solicitude, and by a skilful use of influence
and example, to establish, even in a house frequented
by a low class of customer, that high standard of general
tone which makes a would-be offender feel that bad
language would sound out of place; this feeling is
really a more powerful deterrent than any rule can
be, and has a more permanent effect.
The exercise of powers vested in the Manager by
law requires much tact and discretion. Persons to
whom drink has to be refused must be treated, if
possible, in such a way as to prevent their becoming
violent or offensive ; but when the resources of tact
and firmness have failed to obtain the desired end,
the law must be unhesitatingly enforced.
3. The proper control and supervision by the
Council of houses, scattered as they are, and at long
distances from London, cannot be accomplished without
a very strict system of inspection, applied with equal
rigour to all the houses belonging to the Association,
whether managed by well-tried servants who have
gained the confidence of the Council or not.
The system of inspection instituted by the Council
is as follows:—
“BATTLE AXES" HOTEL, WRAXALL, near FLAX BOURTON, BRISTOL,
Built by Bodley. Six-day Licence,

A duly authorised Inspector will visit each house
at uncertain times, without previous notice.
He will take samples of the liquors.
He will examine the quality of the food and drink.
He will visit the cellar, and, if necessary, take
stock there.
He will go over the whole house, outhouses, and
stables, and see that they are clean and in
good order.
He will afterwards make a report to the Council
on the above points, adding any notes or
suggestions that may have occurred to him,
or that may have been brought to his notice
by the Manager.
4. Managers must remember that the Association
conducts its business on cash principles only, and gives
no credit.
5. The tariff of prices is to be placed conspicuously
in the bar, taproom, and parlour, and the prices thereon
advertised must not be departed from.
6. Intoxicants are not to be exposed with a view
to attract customers, but every means is to be taken
On the other hand to expose food and non-alcoholic
drinks so as to encourage their consumption. The
authorised notices which are supplied for the purpose
of drawing attention to non-alcoholics should be placed
well in view.
7. Special attention is to be given to the making
of tea, coffee, cocoa, &c., so as to make them as
attractive and palatable as possible. Tea should always
be freshly made for every customer.
8. Those light refreshments in the way of food,
best suited to the tastes of the customers frequenting
the house—such, perhaps, as biscuits, cakes, hard-
boiled eggs, meat sandwiches, bread and cheese,
sausages, &c.—should be conspicuous in the bar, and
arranged appetisingly to attract custom.
9. Fresh filtered drinking water and glasses are
always to be placed for the use of customers in the
taproom and parlour where they are easily accessible,
and it is to be thoroughly understood by all that anyone
is at liberty to slake his thirst in this way without being
expected to make any purchase whatever.
10. No advertisements are to be shown except
those authorised; this rule does not apply to temporary
notices of local events.
11. No entertainments are to be held in the house
except those Sanctioned by the Council; nor is the
collecting of subscriptions or formation of clubs and
associations allowed without authorisation from the
Secretary in each case.
12. A printed copy of extracts from the Licensing
Acts is to be placed where all customers may see it.
13. The Manager is to keep by him a stock of the
30

circulars describing the aim and objects of the Asso-
ciation, and to distribute them as opportunities offer
to any persons making inquiry or likely to be interested.
14. Managers are forbidden to send communications
to the Press.

IMA INTUAL
FOR THE
GUIDANCE OF MANAGERS AND OTHERS
IN RESPECT TO
GERTAIN SEGTIONS OF THE LIGENSING LAWS.
1. The Manager must not, under any circumstances,
serve a drunken person with any drink or food, and
must satisfy himself as to every customer's sobriety
before serving him or her. If the Manager is not
certain in his own mind as to the sobriety of a customer
it is safer for him, without giving any unnecessary
offence, to decline to serve the customer, giving, if
called upon so to do, his reasons for refusal.
2. The Manager will be justified in refusing to
admit any drunken, violent, quarrelsome, or disorderly
person to the licensed premises.
3. No drunken person, or person guilty of violent,
quarrelsome, or riotous conduct, must be permitted to
32
“GREEN MAN,” TUNSTALL, SUFFOLK (before re-building). “GREEN MAN" * after *wºm-

remain on the premises, and if a drunken person enters
the premises, or any person is guilty of violent, quarrel-
some, or riotous conduct on the premises, he or she
must IMMEDIATELY be told to leave the premises at
once. If a drunken person, or any person guilty of
improper conduct as in this paragraph mentioned,
refuses to leave the licensed premises after being
requested to do so the Manager should turn out the
offender. The greatest care should, however, be always
taken in ejecting any person, no more force being
used than is absolutely necessary to effect the desired
object. It is, however, highly desirable that in any
such case the assistance of a police officer (who on
demand of the Manager is by law required to expel
or assist in expelling any offender from the premises)
should, if possible, be obtained.
4. Should the Manager anticipate that any serious
breach of the peace is likely to arise in ejecting any
offender, he should at once send for a police officer
and await his arrival before taking steps to remove
the offender.
5. When any occasion arises for calling in the
assistance of the Police the Manager should state to
the officer in detail, at the first convenient opportunity,
all the facts with regard to the offender’s presence
on the premises, and should request the officer to make
a written note of such facts in his presence.
6. After a drunken, violent, quarrelsome, or dis-
Orderly person has left or been removed from the
C
33
premises the Manager must then at once make a note
of the offender's name and address, if known, and alsc
of the names and addresses of all persons, customers
and others, who were present and heard and saw what
was said and done, and also of all the facts relating to
the presence of the offender on the premises.
7. In the event of any drunken person being
taken into custody or prosecuted after leaving or being
removed from the premises, or in the event of the
Manager being informed by a police officer that any
fact in connection with the conduct of the premises
will be reported for the consideration of his superiors,
the Manager must write to the Secretary of the Asso-
ciation informing him thereof, and stating the circum-
stanceS.
8. In the event of any summons or other lega
process or document being left on the premises or
served on the Manager, the Manager must at once
forward the same to the Secretary and state all par-
ticulars concerning the same.
9. No gambling, gaming, BETTING, card playing,
skittle playing, or other game of any kind (whether of
skill or chance) for money or money’s worth (including
refreshments) must be permitted on the premises.
Anything of the kind must at once be stopped by the
Manager, and the offender or offenders must b
requested to leave the premises.
NOTE.-The word “Manager’’ in the above-
mentioned Instructions is intended in all cases to

include any person or persons who may for the time
being be in charge of or serving in any of the bars of
the licensed premises. Employés (other than the
Manager) are, however, strictly enjoined not to act
on their own initiative unless the Manager is absent
from the licensed premises and cannot be consulted.
The Manager must carefully instruct all assistants in
the above rules and in other regulations of the Asso-
ciation.
