Anti.lmperialist Against Labor Unions.

Cambridge, Mass.-Edward Atkinson
spoke against trade unionism under
present conditions before the members
of Prospect union, Cambridge, and
rather warm discussion followed. Mr.,
Atkinson said that labor unions were
wrong in debating to employers how
they should run their business. He ar
gued that causing the number OF work.
ing hours to be decreased Is equiva-
lent to increasing the price of com.
Eodities. The present system, he said,
kept the laboring mans chance OF ad-
vancement at a minimum. All laborers
were thereby kept on level and could
not climb the ladder according to the'
ability.

If we may debate the latter point with

If we may debate the latter point with

We should call attention to the (new) prepar-
alton called Cllrura Solvent, discovered by
Or. David Kenncdy, of Kennedy Row, Kings
ton, N. V, as IN undoubted success. While
its fame nay not have reached Berlin it

10 say that DR.. Kennedy's discovery (called
hy him "My Nto Medicine') is specific
for the diseases which principally afflict civ
ilized man may he more than the facts yet
warrant. but that it thus far transcends
other remedies in the number and signal
brilliancv of its results is to say only what
the evidence proves. And it is simple JUS
tice to add that Dr. Kennedy worked as

which compose his great medicine for the
