LAB0R's GREAT FORUM
Golden Era's Note Sounded by
1t, Says Straus.
CLAIMS GRAND RESULTS ARE PLAIN

Labor Conference In New York, De-
clares Former Minister to Turkey,
IL Working Directly Toward the
Worlds Peace-Believes 1t Is Pre-
eminently a Practical Movement.
A new plane Of discussion Of the Ia
Dor problem has developed from the
New York conference. The new COM
mittee Of thirty-six is recognized in the
general discussion of its aims, objects
and proposed methods as body hay
ing an authority at the bar of public
opinion never before conceived Of. Par
Elephants in and critics Of the move
ment are now agreed that new era
has begun in the work Of bringing cap.
italist and breadwinner to a common
meeting place. The point most dwelt
upon is the fact that theory, futile
hitherto, has been abandoned for prac-
tlcal and effiaient means.
AS planned by ]. p Morgan, the de.
Wiser Of the conference, the discussion
has sounded meaning note with
which both Interests are in accord. 1t
has stated the basic principles of flu
ture relations to which money and
work alike subscribe and has embod-
led those ideas in men whose repre-.
sentative character commands univer
sal respect
Oscar S. Straus, prominent In the
NOV ement as a man who has thought
much and worked much for mankind,
emphasizes these points in the inter
view which follows. says julius Cham
bers in the New York Journal.
As a large and generous employer of
labor in various branches Of mercan-
tile trade Oscar s. Straus, ex-minister
to Turkey, was pre-eminently fitted to
take part in the memorable conference
Of capitalists. labor representatives
and neutrals that closed its session In
New York city the other day.
The choice of United States Senator
Marcus A. Hanna as chairman OF the
industrial department Of the National
Civic association was made in a spirit
Of the utmost harmony. Every man
present at the conference bears testl-
mony to that fact. Mr.. Straus declares
him to be the ideal chairman of so i'm
portant and 80 original social and
economic project.
II regard this as the greatest and
most conspicuous movement for indus
trial peace that has ever occurred IN
the history of labor" said the Hon.
Oscar 8. Straus. Il AM devoted to Its
prosecution heart and soul. We are
not theorists, for you will ssa that we
have eliminated that phase Of the sub
feet in our plan and scope This Is
pre-eminently practical movement
managed by practical men to achieve
practical results. We do not hope for
the millennium, but we do expect to be
able to lessen industrial disturbances,
to be instrumental in bringing employ

The Day Of Drastic Drugs and Pargativss
Has Gone by.
Constipation Of the bowels, usually
considered q simple complaint, Is the
more dangerous because it is deemed
trivial. Trifles neglected become the
most serious Of ailments. "a dose OF
physic will cure it is the usual remark.
But the dose never cures. 1t relieves
for the time, but aggravates the COM
plant for the future. and next time q
bigger dose Is needed. The bowels,
strained, weakened, poisoned by re-
peated dosing with strong drugs. be-
come more and more constipated, invit-
ing appendicitis. deranged liver and
stomach, weakness OF the urinary or
pans, bad blood, and chronic organic
diseases OF various kinds. Constipation
should be cured promptly. Druggists
sell the one medicine that cures consti-
patton. They sell big bottle OF it for
