carrying . buckeye to getting q
treatment from a physician. They
obtain temporary relief. maybe. but
they are never quite cured. A little
strain in lifting, excessive fatigue, q
little constipation or diarrhoea and
the piles come back.
They don't seem to amount to
much, but they Danish sleep and
appetite. No position is comforta-
BILE. There is intense local pain and
that dreadful feeling of weight in the
parineum.
Maybe in the early stages some of
the many salves on sale will afford
temporary relief. If the case is of
long standing there is only one
speedy and sure remedy. 1t is Pyra-
mid Pile Cure. Even in light cases
it is the safest thing to use. Other
applications may cure and may not.
Pyramid Cure is always certain,
always reliable. always brings COM

months of severe suffering. In ex-
treme cases it will save surgical OPP

Thousands have been cured by it.
The cost is trifling compared with

Text Of the Committees Report.
.SDrANAPoLIs, March 26.-The execu.
tive council of the American Federation
Of Labor adjourned yesterday afternoon.
1t was given out that the headquarters
will be moved at the close of the the pres
ent year to some other city, probably Chi
cago. The committee report ON the eight.
hour question was unanimously adopted
and given out as the sentiment of the
! council. 1t favors a movement for an
eight hour day.
The report is as follows: "At this hour,
when myriads of workers are seeking en-
ployment and in their despair numbers Of
them are captivated by the seductive
theories and glittering promises of secur-
ing state help, we, the American Fedora.
ton of Labor. reaffirm the necessity of
concentrating all the forces,of the prac-
tical labor movement in the voluntary
and collective efforts Of the trades unions,
backed by sympathetic public opinion.
Eight-Hour Day the Remedy.
"Thc general and constant introduction
OF machinery. the minute subdivisions of
labor, the irregularity of employment, the
continually recurring periods of indus
trial stagnation and financial panics, tho
hopeless wall Of the unemployed, all de-
Inand equalization of the opportunities
that will come from the general adoption
of the eight-hOys: day. All other lines and
economic theories within our ranks should
be subordinated to the great task of giving
work to the unemployed and of lettering
the wages AMI conditions of all who toll.
There is no movement of moro value to
the working people than that which will
Tighten the burdens of those who are over
worked and underpaid and which will
give employment to those who wander our
byways and highways, searching in vain
for n better chance to live.
More Thorough Organization Needed.
1.-The realization of the eig!it-hoIr day to
them means better food and raiment,
happier homes, better citizens a nobler
manhCol and n higher civilization. As
we approach this question VIC realize fully
the magnitude of the interested and sell
fish forces ar-ayed against us. the indiffer-
encs OF the working people themselves,
their o!d-time prejudices and the many
discussions which divide them. More
than all. we recognize the need for 2 more
thorough ard complete organization of
every craft and occupation on trade union
lines before we can undertake n general
CT simultaneous stand for the eight-hour
day. This severe industrial crisis from
which VIC are now emerging, however,
should be helpful lesson to lead the in.
dustrial classes into compact organlza-
tons which, when once attained, will
bring still greater achievements for the
working people.
