Chronic Diseases,
 Cancers, Tun1ors, etc.

In every line of business there is some part requiring closer study and greater than aver age skill. That this is true of Medicine many persons seem to forget, and after one or more failures the patient, and sometimes tha phy- scian, believes the case incurable. The or dinary physician is NOT culpable for failure in an Extraordinary case. but he IS culpabe lf he prescribes "hopelesS" because HE fails. He may claim that the same sources of infor- nation 'are open to all physicians. This IS NOT TRUE. All physicians do not publish their methods and discoveries. and even were lt SO. would all gain an equal knowledge e therefromP Why will one farmer succeed with ground upon which another raised only mortgages? It Is precise the same In medl- cine. We do not claim to cure every disease but we DO MOST SU RELY claim to cure large per cent. of others failures and that IS JUST THE KIND OF WORK WE WANT. we cure CANCERS without operation and take our pay when cured. We are equipped with everything with which to work, including two powerful X-ray machines. Violet ray, hot air GRlvanic, Faradic and Static electricity, etc., we make photographs of internal parts, trace the heart 8 action on paper, etc. Skeptic1sm of patients regarding the durability of their diseases costs some money, but 1t costs THEM health and perhaps life. Write us. our opinion costs nothing.

But yesterdays occurrence disjoints
all of Parry's arguments.
While Parry is in Washington making
strenuous efforts to combat the meas
ures now pending in the National Le-
gislature, which had their inspiration in
the ranks of organized labor, advocates
of the labor movement among his own
employees are expressing their disap-
proval of his efforts to antagonize labor.
A sympathetic strike in other branch
es of the factory is now threatened.

department and asked him to speak to

ing for the 52-cent rate or of picking up
their tools and walk out of the plant.
The men chose the latter.
In the offices of the company no one
would descuss the Strike. However, it
was said that there was no proba bility
Of the desaffection extending to other
branches of the plant, and that the men
would not be allowed to return. Other
men have been secured to take the
places of the strikers.

PAPER MILL WORKERS
ADOPT UNION LABEL
NINE LARGE PAPER CONCERNS
AGREE TO USE NEW LABEL,
Hereafter Users Of Paper Will Be Able
to Find Blue Label Of Paper Max
ers, Pulp, Sui phite and Paper Mill
Workers on Paper Goods. Organized
Labor Is Asked to Make a Demand
for Union Label Paper.

Watertown, N. Y, March 3.-After
months of agitation the International
Brotherhood of Paper Makers, with
headquarters in this city. have adopt
ed a union label to distinguish their
products from those of unfair concerns.
1t is appealing to organized labor to
ask for union label paper every time it
has any printing done 1t also asks that
committees be appointed to visit the
newspapers and urge the use Of union
label paper. The employers agree to
use the label just so soon as there is
demand for it, Nine of the largest
paper manufacturers in the country are
using the label at this time. The la
bel has been endorsed by the American
Federation of Labor, and the follow
ing resolution was passed at the last
convention in it's behalf:
Whereas. The International Brother
hood of Paper Makers have been strug-
Cling for years to maintain a uniform
workday OF eight hours in the respec-
tive paper mills; and
Whereas, The said organization has
been successful in establishing the
eight-hour day in many of the mills;
and
Whereas, The products of said mills
bear the union label of the Internation-
al Brotherhood of Paper Makers, said
label having the endorsement of the
American Federation Of Labor; there
fore be it .,sz-;: .'
Resolved, *phat the respective organ
izations whose members are employed
in publishing concerns and who are OBJ
liged to handle the products Of the pa.
per makers be urged to give preference
tot the paper bearing the label Of the
Paper Makers wherever and whenever
possible. = : = 8! r; ;

PERRY is FACING
PROBLEM OF A STRIKE
Employees Walk Out Of Factory Owned by Enemy of the Un
ion Laborers-Request for Better Wages Was Re-
fused-New Men Take Their Places But
the Question is Not Yet Settled

indianapolis, Ind, March 3.-David M.
Parry, who is the avowed enemy of or
ganized labor, in his own business reia-
tions is to have a practical illustration
of organized labor's strength.
There is strike at Parry's carriage
factory, and last night it threa tened to
close the business.
Strange as it may seem, the strike
now on makes itself direct argument
against all of Parry's assertions His
principle, he says, is that harmonay
must e--ist between employers and their
individual employees, and that contracts
can only be legitimate when so agreed
upon. Therefore, President Parry as
serts, labor unions which intefere with
the freedom of an individual employe
are abominable.
He has boasted that his factory is
nonunion and that he has never had d
strike or lockout. From this fact, which
he has repeatedly held up, he argues
that his men are all satisfied, we'll paid
and well cared for, and consequently
strikes are unWarranted. BY shutting
oft labor leaders he said his men re-
mained contented.

Report Getting Circulation That Popu-

Tamaque, Pa, March 3.-It is the
general belief in this country that Pres

Workers Of America is about to relin-
quish the presidency of that organiza-
tion to accept an appointment at the
hands Of President Roosevelt, succeed
ing Carroll D. Wright as commissioner
OF labor.
1t IS well-known fact that Mr. Nit
chell is a very close friend of President
Roosevelt, and Mr.. Mitchell, at Chicago
Saturday evening, intinated in
speech that he would leave the organi-
zation shortly.
A prominent local operator said to-
day he knew positively that Mr.. Nit
chell would not serve as president of
the United Mine Workers later than
April, 1905, as the slate has been fixed
among the mine workers and that Vice
President Lewis will succeed Mr..

Carroll D. Wright Prescribes
Decalogue for Labor

Carroll D. Wright, United States CON-
missioner of labor, in a speech at Buf-
falo, N. Y, recently, on the question,
SIS There any solution of the Labor
Prob1em?" said: Law has always
failed to adjust wages and it's efforts
in that direction have done more harm
than good. Socialism is an ambitious
remedy, but it is not vital principle.
It is not constructive force. The
decalogue is as good a labor platform
as any. In religion we find the high
est form Of solution offered, Next TO
religion comes constructive evolution
that evolution WHICH believes in the law
Of effort. We are to have new law
of wages, grown out Of religious
thought. The application Of this reli-
gious idea is the true; solution of this

JAIL AND FINES FOR " r.. i. -.
LABOR UNION MEN
o6icers Of Incorporated Union Held Guilty by Judge Hodom
of Contempt Of Court-scored for Acts While on
Strike-system Of Spying and E6orts to
Induce Worker to Quit Denounced.

Chicago, Mar. 3.-F1nes and terms OF
Imprisonment in the county gail vary
ing six months to thirty days were
yesterday meted out to the officers of
for contempt Of court.
Franklin union as an organization
was fined $1,000, being the second fine
for that amount imposed within the
past three months. In vain did At
torney Bloomington for the union men
appeal for stay Of execution until he
could secure bondsn1en for his clients
and take an appeal. from the ruling Of
the court. Judge Holdom declared that
the union was not entitled to any de-
lay, and ordered that the Judgment
should be entered this morning at II
o'clock.
The officers found guilty of violating
the injunction and the punishment i'm
posed on them are:
Charles F.. Woerner, president, fined
$3.50 and three months in the county
Jail.
John NJ. Shea, secretary, fined 500
and six months in county Jail.
Michael Flannery, business agent
thirty days in county Jail.
Harry Brown, twisting committee"
forty days in county Jail.
Jerome Collins Visiting committee" !"
two months in county jail.
In his decision Judge Holdom scored
the officers of the union severely and
declared that all the overt acts COM
mitted during the long strike originated
with the officers. il they were not ac-
| tually committed by them. The me-
thods pursued by the union employing
| spies to induce workers to leave their
employment was declared by: the court
unlawful and a. menace to the liberty
of the people.
The decision of the court. was based
! on three points-the legality Of labor
union, the right to do picketing, and the
| payment of strike benefits. The right
| to organize for protection, to increase
| wages, shorten the hours of labor was
| held to be lawful. Picketing, when con-
Quoted in peaceful way and not in
numbers large enough to constitute in
timidation, was held to be legal. The

Hibbing, Minn., March 3.-According
to the Tribune published here\ the
retail clerks of this city are to form q

Not much stir has been made in the
matter, for the reason that the leaders
desired to wait until enough members
had been secured to make a showing.
But it is said that they are now assur-

than fifty.
This movement is in no way connect

modern plan of early closing, as prac-

size and upwards in the country.
The proposition Is by no means frown-
