HIS VIEW OF 1T
President Roosevelt Stands Pat
on Miller Case.
Exhibits Back Bone and Re-instates
Him In His Old Position.

1t requires good deal of stamina
nowadays to buck labor union, but
President Roosevelt has done it, and
what is more ii is the union, appar-
emily, they went over onto its back
and not the president, when their
heads met. 1t was all about a man
named Miller, who held job as fore
man in the government book bindery
at Washington. Miller had said and
done things Objectionable to the
binders union, which had expelled
him. This virtually forced him out
of the service. since the public print
er deemed it best to drop him rather
than have trouble with the union,
whose membership includes all the
binders and whose rules forbid the
members to work with any non-union
man. Miller complained to the civil
service commission which took up
the case and held that Miller should
not have been dismissed and so report
ed to the president. Roosevelt there
upon promptly ordered the man rein
stated. He took occasion to say that
while the government had no obiec-
tion to the existence of unions among
its employees it could not legally dis.
criminate between union and non-un-
ion men, and whether they belonged
or not they were equally acceptable
in the public service if their duties
were faithfully discharged. The
binders ''fiared up" and threatened
to stike if Miller returned, but at
last report were disposed to yield, still
hoping to get Miller out by preferring
charges against him showing his un-
fitness for the place. The presidents
position is sound and just and will be
endorsed by all except those whose
allegience TO unionism takes preced-
ence to other forms of loyalty. Labor
unions are adding to their weakness,
instead of their strength, when they
secure membership by complusion in
stead of by conviction. Men wlh Join
unions simply TO save their jobs are
not likely to stand by it faithfully
when answering support is required.
And no employer. whether he be small
and humble or Uncle Sam himse If.
should hire or discharge help with
primary regard to their union MEM

He ended by calling all his men from

The influence OF climatic conditions
In the cure OF consumption is very much
overdrawn. The poor patient, and the
rich patient, too, can do much better at
home by proper attention to food di-

Syrup. Free expectoration In the

Syrup, so is good nights rest and the
absence OF that weakening cough and
debiitating night sweat. Restless
nights and the exhaustion due to
coughing, the greatest danger and

vented or stopped by taking German
Syrup literally and regularly. Should
