EMPLOYEES OF LABOR

dred of the largest employers of labor

today at the opening OF the second an
5nual convention of the Citizens In

the American Federation of Labor is

dustrial Association is to the en-
.ployer. While the former is exerting
its powerful influence in favor Of the
"closed shop" the injunction bill
and the eight-hour bill, the latter is
combating the same with all its
strength. For these reasons the pres
ent convention, which is to continue
two days, will be watched with keen
est interest in the labor world. The
convention has announced its intention
sof paying particular attention to
the open shop" question, and, in
fact, no secret is made by the en-
ployers embraced in the association Of
their desire tc sound the death knell
sof the CLOSED shop" During the last
year or two the open shop idea has
spread very rapidly in this country,
particularly in the west.
The present movement for the band
ing together OF the employers of the
country against the so-called tyranny
Of the trades unions was started by
David NJ, Parry, an Indianapolis man
.ufacturer, early in 1908. In October
of last year a preliminary conference
was held in Chicago that resulted in
the formal launching the association
some months later. The movement
has grown so rapidly that now it en-

and thus the person is saved from thos,
symptoms of fever, night-sweats, headache,

An Alternative extract like DR.. Picrcc's

up from the food such elements as are

Mr.. Francis attended the irrigation
congress from Teller county, a part
of the state in which there is no irri-
cation and little knowledge Of the sub
ject. The fact that some Of the best
Informed men in the arid region in re-
gard to irrigation were not in sym
pathy with the purposes Of the men
who controlled the Ell Paso congress
is shown by the fac that the state en-
gineers refused to attend. No one
who knows anything about the sub
ject can seriously question that among
the best informed men in the arid reg.
ion concerning the needs of irrigation
are the state engineers. Certainly
they are better qualified to speak in
telligently on the subject than the min
ers of the Cripple Creek OF any other
mining district. The fact that they
ignored the irrigation congress should
have suggested to Mr.. Francis that the
meeting was not in line with the best
interests of irrigation in this n other
