BOND TO REFUND MONEY
4. II. Thomas Takes All Risk of Mi-O-na
Curing Dyspepsia and Building
Up Flesh,

1t is an easy thing for medicine to
be advertised as guaranteeing cure,
money refunded, etc, or have the
druggist say. "Well, yes, if it does not
help, we will return your money!"
but if the medicine does not give sat
isfaction and the customer goes back
to the dealer, the probability is that
he has forgotten what he said and
there is question about making the
refund.
T. Fl. Thomas in very business like
way overcOmes this trouble in a clear
and definite manner, by giving the
following bond with every package of
Mona that he sells:

Anti Boycott Association threatens
Head Of the A. F. Of L.
Chicago, Sept. 3.-President Samuel
Gompers Of the American Federation
of Labor had better look out or the
Giasticutus will catch him. It is Off
cially announced that he has been
placed under surveillance by the off,
GERS Of the Anti-Boycott Association,
which is preparing to- prosecute him
for declaring certain, manufacturers OH
the "unfair' list Of organized labor.
For years President Gompers has
published monthly in the America
Federationist, the official magazine of
his organization, the names Of compa-
nies which he regarded as opposed to
union labor. 1t is said that soTe OF
the firms have suffered heavilyeas a
result. Their employees have left Vhem
and rivals have secured their busi-
ness. Many Of them have been forced
to right their accounts with the unions
in order to remain in business.
The Chicago manufacturers, among
whom are the Kellogg Switchboard
and Supply company, who only a few
days ago said it really liked to be boy
cotted, have formed a committee to
hove charge Of the Anti-Boycott Asso-
ciation's affairs in the west. This body
will hold weekly meetings and be pre-.
pared to take up every dispute that in,
wolves members Of the organization.
It will also ask D. V. burlington Of the
Purington Brick company to appear
before it and submit the evidence he
has against President Gompers and
the Brickmaker's union. .>s =. y -: =
The most important par.of this ac-
ton yof the Anti-Boycott Association
is the acknowledgment that boycott
ting hurts, and is even successful In
u11ionizing establishments. Mr.. Com
pers is not losing any sleep over the
action Of these enemies Of organized

he had been taken from the tornbs
without any public announcement
having: been made by the authorities
At the Grand Central station some
body recognized him, and as he took
his seat at window in the car next
the smoker twenty or thirty employees
Of the station gathered about the train
and hooted at him.
"Blackmailer" and ''grafter' were
some Of the milder epithets they hurled
at him, and to emphasize their re-
marks a number Of the men put their
thumbs to their noses and wriggled
their fingers at the walking delegate:
Parks was pale with rage and morti-
fication.
Upon his arrival at Sing Sing prison
Parks was taken at once TO the clerk S
office, where his pedigree was taken.
He was then taken in charge by Prin-
/ cipal Keeper Connaughton and given
the usual bath, hair cut and shave and
then donned a suit Of prison clothes
He was assigned temporarily to the
idle gang" He went through the Or
deal without showing any emotion, al
though his face was deadly pale.
So much has been written Of Parks
of late that short sketch of his life
may be interesting. He came from
Ireland when II years of age, spent
twenty years as lunberman, sailor,
and coal HEAVIER, and six years ago
reached Manhattan. In five years he
got fifty thousand men in line behind
him and through strenuous struggle
| with the contractors has tied up 500, :
100000 worth of building contracts.
The story of the extortions that
"Sam" is said to have practiced and
which the District Attorney is trying
to- prove, was related by member OF
of theunion here, as to exact facts, as
Follows:
Bosses Paid for Strikes.
"These fellows make an agreement
with us to work on building, and
they get nasty and try to throw us
down-just as they used to do before
Sam Parks came to New York. They
say, Wee aegnt vbgkqj vbgkqj vbgk
say, We can get along WITHOUT the
| housesmiths and their friends, and
| they think so-generally for about two
! weeks. Then they find out that all
their work. is at a standstill, and that
the penalties for delay in carrying out
contracts are running up. against them
in big figures. Then they say they
would like to meet and talk 1t. over
| The one fall they have had has linn
bered them up wonderfully. They
| make every concession. They promise
to observe union rules In the future
and Sam" says he'll let the boys 60
back to work for thhem, imposing, say
| little fine Of so cents a day per man
That is,~sall the other employers can
&c their labor so cents a DAY cheaper
