little girls were playing In the fields
at villa Manrique, In Seville, initiating
a religious procession and waving their
handkerchiefs like banners, they irri-
tated q drove of bulls, which charged

CHICAGO EMPLOYERS SHUTTING
DOWN INDUSTRIES AND DIS
CHARGING WORkMEN.
TRANSFERS OUT TO BE BLACKLISTED
MUST RETURN TO FORMER SIT
UATiONS AT ONCE OR BE
PLACED UNDER BAN.

Chicago, May 13.-Employers dur
ing the day began the execution of
new policy as to the teamsters' strike,
men in various manufacturing indus
tries being laid off because of the lack
of business brought about by the
strike. At the Employers association
Office it was said the number of men
laid of because of dullness in trade
and consequent lack of demand for
certain manufactured goods would run
into the thousands and would con-
tinue unless normal business condi-
tions returned soon.
Hundreds of wagons were sent out
during the day by strikebound houses,
advertisements for teamsters filled
the newspapers and on every side was
evidence of the aggressiveness of the
employers. The department stores
particularly caused large advertise
ments to appear simultaneously in the
newspapers announcing that men are
wanted to "flll permanent positions"
as teamsters and drivers. Protection
was promised to prospective drivers
and the character of men the depart
ment stores desire to recruit was in
dicated by the fact that references
are required from applicants. Most
of the advertisements state that "un-
ion or nonunion" men will be ac-
cepted.
Will Blacklist Strikers.
II was stated authoritatiyely during
the day that early next week the EN-
blacklist" of all teamsters who have
gone out on strike. These men, 4,30O
In all, will be notified that they can
come back to work any time during
the week, but that if they have not
returned by the end of next week they
will never be reinstated under any
circumstances. The blacklist pro-
gramme is said to be more complete
and definite than that which was fol-
lowed during the A. r. u. strike.
Kinsley's restaurant, famed as the
scene of banquet, where presidents
and royalty have dined, has been
turned into a hotel where nonunion
white and colored teamsters are
housed and fed. The large dining
room has been turned into a messroom
and the upper rooms, designed for oc-
cupation by private dining parties,
now contain cots upon which the non
unionists sleep.
Charles Johnson, a colored man en-
ployed by the Standard Oil company,

SOCIALISTS ON THE SCENE
Argue With Strikers on the Power OF
the Ballot.

Chicago May 13.-Socialists of ma
tional reputation, including William
Mailley, former national secretary of
the Socialist party, and Seymour Sted-
man, prominent In the party, have ar
rived In Chicago. 1t is said they came
here to argue with the union leaders
on the power of the ballot. Up to this
time the Socialists never have been
cordially welcomed by the teamsters.
who, relying upon strikes, looked upon
the ballot as something of no value
In correcting their grievances. But
as result OF the crisis In the team
sters' affairs the Socialists were re-
ceived cordially by President Shea of
the Teamsters' union and an amicable
conference followed the arrival OF the
visitors.
"It Is Just such conflicts as the team
sters' strike that proves that wage
workers must control the powers of
government If they would get justice"
said Mr.. Mailley. Should the power
of wealth and government in the
hands of the capitalistic class defeat
the teamsters' organization the unions
will be In a position to see that they
must vote themselves into power and
conduct industry entirely for the ben
eft OF the working class

GOOD FOR EVERYTHING

The question is often asked how
one treatment can be goad for every
thing. Is not pure air and pure water
beneficial to the system? If SO, will
it not benefit every organ of the sys-
tenn to purify the blood, and ellmi-
nate the large amount of poison that
collects in the systema Is not regulat-
ing the bowels beneficial to the entire
system, and absolutely necessary to
the proper condition of health? 1T so,
why should it not be just as necessary
to open up the seven million pores in
tho skin, which is the sewerage of the
entire system, letting off the deadly
poison which thousands of people are
CARRYING about in their bodies perfect
ignorant of their condition. You can
easily see this process of renovation
can not help but benefit every part OF
the human machinery.
