LOS 'ANiELES, April 2l.-(SpeClal
Correspondence For the first. time
since the fight on the Los Angeles
Times was commenced, an advertiser
who had withdrawn from that paper
has openly def1ed organized labor and
again decided to patronize' it. About
six months ago theTPeruna. Drug Com
pany of Columbus, @, notified the labor
unions Of Los Angeles. that it would
quit advertising in the Times. Ten
days ago the advertisement again ap-
peared. Labor: unions correspondent
with the Peruna: company, calling at
tention to the promise of that concern,
and In a. few days q reply was received
stating that Peruna had decided to
patronizei' the Times; Notwithstanding
the protests of organized labor. It is
evident that pressure has been broug ght
to bear upon the Perunar company by
the Parry combination, and that test
will be made of the power of the boy
cot, all losses being made good by the
National Citizens Alliance
The labor unions Of Los Angeles be-
lieve that Mr.. Parry should be given d
of organized labor, and ask that every
union in the United States appoint
committees to wait on drug stores and
notify them that Peruna is making a
fight on organized labor. Also, write
letters to the Peruna company, Colum-
bus, O., expressing: your determina-
ton not to buy Peruna- Practically
every labor organizati tion in Los Angeles
has pledged it's membership not to
patronize, the Peruna Drug company
of Columbus, o., on account of the Pc
runa people having Joined, hands with
Parry in the fight NOW being made on
unionism Throughout Ithe United States.
After having Withdrawn its ADVERTISE
ment from the Los Angeles Times at
the request OF organized labor, Peruna
was again whipped 3into line by the
Parry ombination, *and, renewed it's
contract, now inserting larger adver-
tisements+ I'M the Times than before: In
a letter to union Of Los Angeles, the

is made Of every union ia Duluth to
write a letter to the Peruna company,
protesting against it's advertising III the
Times, and. also to appoint "a: committee
to- call upon the druggists. of Duluth
and ask that they also white Reruna: to
the same effect; and in the meantime
do not patronize Peruna. i:
There can be little doubt that the Ma
tionAl Citizens Alliance has selected
Peruna for the purpose of testing the
efficacy Of boycott on a, patent medi-
cine. Much will depend upon the out
come. If. the sales of Peruna are cut
down all over the country, naturally
THAT company will call halt and break
away from Parry and his would-be
union breaking crowd; if. little or no
effect is felt, Mr.. Parry will pass the
word along to other manufacturers to
stand firm and at once manufaetur-
ers Of various articles will flock to the
black flag hoisted by the Parryites.
1t is not only the duty but it is i'm
pertative, that the Peruna company of
Columbus, O., be shown beyond: all
doubt that no concern depending upon
the general public for patronage can
succeed by making warfare upon men
and women who are striving@to secure
living wages and humane hours.
