cant by the suspension. The asser-
ton Is made that the Tennessee Com

that organized labor 10 to be opposed.
The resumption of work at the Bes-

Is also construed. to mean defiance to
organized labor. The miners make no
public utterance as to the convict mine
labor beyond the fact that IL the con-
victs are taken from the other mines
already operating with convicts that
the production cannot be increased. If
new convicts are hired the production
will be increased.
President Flynn of the miners organ
ization, accompanied by w. r. Farley,
the National Board member from Ala

cancer, determine sex, restore hair to
shiny pates, and beauty to faded wom-

to which radium will be put will be in

now the wise men have determined
that the extraordinary fertility Is due
to the presence of radium. Since radi-
