520 _a"Juomalakko : Yksinäytöksinen näytelmä by Vihtori Niemi is a one-act play written in the early 20th century. It portrays a working-class family’s struggle with alcoholism and the pressures of a society that profits from drink while preaching morality. The action unfolds in a poor factory worker’s home. Sanna tries to keep the household afloat, even pawning belongings, while discussing Christian duty and the liquor trade’s harm with the servant Siina. Their daughter Sulo pleads with her father, Salu, to avoid the tavern, but he goes, mocking temperance. Siina returns with a sealed letter for Sulo from a “maisteri” and news of drunken brawls. Salu staggers back, violent and demanding money; he smashes the room and takes the family clock to pawn. A policeman later drags him in, and in a rage Salu knocks Sanna down, seemingly lifeless, until she revives. Shaken by the near-tragedy and urged by co-workers Sipi and Samppa, Salu agrees to a drinking strike; the men pledge collective abstinence, offering a sober, hopeful end.
