Yesterday and seriously curtailed ths

lure men away already at work. In
the yards of the Illinois Central the
men brought in last night were at
work on perishsble freight. They
spent the night In sleeping cars
brought for the purpose and ate their
breakfast in dining cars, mostly OF
the pattern used on construction

A man familiar with the present
trouble and experienced in strikes said
today
If the teamsters come to the aid Of

not the chances are that they will

This statement is full of meaning in

ficials Of the Teamsters' union who
have said that the freight haulers pro.
ceeded to strike without the sanction
of the Chicago Federation of Labor
and therefore they would be allowed tC
fight out their own salvation.
The jobbing interests of the city art
seriously tied up in their shipping de

Republicans cannot satisfy the people
by having their president tour the
country talking against the trusts.
They have sinned away their day of
grace by refusing to consider trust
legislation, when they had ample op-

in congress would have joined them"
The headquarters of the committee
will be opened at once In Chicago.
Judge Griggs will go to Chicago next

Means To Bring About Peace Have
Not All Been Exhausted.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, July S.-The AS.
sociated Press is able to announce
that the National Civic Federation,
which tried so hard to prevent the an
thracite coal miners strike, has not
exhausted all its means in an effort
to bring about peace in the anthra.
cite coal fields. The investigation
which was started soon after the mi
ners laid down their picks is still In
progress, and It is understood that the
federal government through the de.
partment of labor is persisting In this
work.
A few weeks ago Walter Weyl, a rep
resentative of the department OF Ia
Dor at Washington, and Professor John
r. Commins, Of the civic federation,
made a tour of the anthracite region
in quest of information. These men
interviewed all persons who are famil.
lar with conditions In the coal regions.
Their work was done quietly. While
in Wilkesbarre Professor Commins
held a long conference with President
Mitchell, during which he was shown
a copy of Mr.. MitchelPs statement re-
plying to the letters of the coal oper'
ators.
Mr.. WeyI, who is a statlstician in
the department of labor, contributed
to the report made by Commissions
Carroll D. Wright. The plan to b'
formulated cannot be learned here
The seal of secrecy has been placed
on every one who has any knowledge
of the work that is going on.

The man who is Gagged in or cooped up
day after day without sufficient exercise
is sure to suffer for it. Quite often the
liver is the first organ which becomes
disordered, and constipation, biliousness,
sick headache and general physical tor
por make life miserable. There's only
one way to deal with liver "trouble" and
that is to go to the root of the disease,
and cure it once for all. Such cures of
the disordered or diseased liver almost
always follow the use Of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t always
helps 1t almost always cures. 1t reg
ulates the liver, strengthens the stomach,
