AQUEDUCT MEALS
MAKE TROUBLE
MEN READY TO QUIT IF NEW
ORDER is ENFORCED
GENERAL cHAFFEE ADMITS CON-
pITIoNs ARE DEPLoRABLE
All Employees Shortly to Be Asked tc
Sign Contracts at SIS Week
Whether They Work
or Not

The advisory committee has made
its report to the board OF public works
on the Desmond contract for feeding
aqueduct employees and the board Will
send the report to the council today
as an answer to the councils demand
for information on the matter.
The report is a bare statement OF
fact and does not attempt to deal
with the complaints that have been
made against the quality of tood served
by Desmond at some of the camps.
One section of the report, when covers
about twenty typewriter pages, says
that on some sections of the aqueduct
the complaints have been made in the
hope that the board of public works
would cancel the contract with d. }.
Desmond and again assume the task
of feeding the men itself.
The board is not likely to do this,
for the figures compiled by the aque-
duct department show that, while the
board of public works was feeding
the men, nearly cents meal on each
man is lost. These figures show that
the cost per meal per man was 29.S
cents, and the men were fed for So for
twenty-one meals.
Admits Better Service
The report admits that the meals
served by the city were better than
those served by Desmond, but points
out that the contractor cannot afford
to serve meals that cost more than he
receives.
In a day or two all the employees on
the auueduct will be asked to sign new
contracts with the city. The last
clause in this contract provides that
the employe permits the deduction OF
SIS a week from his wages to be turned
over to the subsistence contractor,
whether he eats his meals at the
messes of the contractor or not.
c. S. Dudley a former newspaper
man, employed on Los Angeles papers,
but who has been employed as con-
struction clerk on the aqueduct for
several months, declares the aqueduct
employees have determined to resist
this order and, if it is enforced, that
about half of them are prepared to
leave the service.
He declares that he was compelled
to give up his position as construction
clerk because he could not eat the
food served by Desmond. He found
a boarding place at NeWhall and
walked two miles from Camp Five
where he was employed, to his meals
each morning and evening and carried
a tin pail filled with lunch for his
MONDAY meal
Board Is Insistent
The board is prepared to insist that
every man employed on the aqueduct,
except married men with their families
on the ground, must eat at the Des-
mond camps or pay for three meals a
day at this camp whether they eat
or not. The advisory committee Of
the aqueduct, of which Gen. A. r.

the Gallstones does not keep them
from forming again any more than
cutting the hair prevents the hair
from growing. The underlying cause
still remains.
ION the other hand little progress
has ever been made where medicines
were administered simply to dissolve
the GallstOnes. 1t is owing to a de-
feet in the volume or constituency Of
the secretions of the Stomach and
Liver that permits the formation of
GallstOnes. When the Stomach and
Liver perform their functions fully
and normally they produce a natural
solvent that prevents the formation
of Gallstones: If this were not true
every one would have Gallstones.
Recognizing this truth, and work
ing in accordance Herewith, an able
Chicago physician perfected a treat
ment that combined the administra-
ton Of certain active and harmless
solvents together with medicines
that restore the Stomach and Liver
Thus the solvents are Immediately
reinforced and work in harmony
with the natural secretions to grad
ually and painlessly soften and dis
solve the Gallstones and restore the
secretions SO that the formation Of
Gallstones will be prevented without
the further use of medicine.
'This remedy is not a cure-all 1t
is an honest, scientific remedy for
Gallstones, but in treating the Gall
stones and the underlying cause at
the same time, the medicines neces-
cariIv curn all ordinary ailments of
the Stomach and Liver at the same

almost sure to be asked | don't mind
telling you.
The Postum workers are about a
thousand strong, men and women,
and don't belong to labor unions.
The Labor Trust has, time without
numbers, sent "organizers" with
money to give smokers" etc., and
had their orators" declaim the
brotherhood of man" business, and
cry salty tears describing the fearful
conditions of the Slaves of capital
and all that. But the confidence
game never worked, for the decent
and high grade Postum workers re-
ceive 10 per cent. over the regular
wage scale. They are the highest
paid, richest and best grade of work
ing people in the State of Michigan
and | believe in the United States.
They mostly own their own homes,
and good ones. Their wages come SO
weeks in a year and are never stopped
on the order of some paid agent of
the Labor Trust. They have savings
accounts in the banks, houses of their
own and steady work at high wages.
They like their daily occupation in
the works (come and ask them) and
are not slaves, and yet the Labor
Trust leaders have done their best to
ruin the sale of their products and
force them into idleness and poverty.
1t would cost the workingmen of
Battle Greek (our people and about
5000 others) from 100000 to
100000 month in fees to send out
to the leaders of the Labor Trust, if
they would allow themselves to be-
come "organized' and join the Trust
Not for them, they keep the mon
ey, school the children and live
free. . That's some comfort for
white people.
Once in a while one of the little
books, THE Road to Wellville,' we
put in the packages of Postum, Grape
Nuts and Post Toasties, is sent back
to us with a sticker pasted across it
saying, Returned because it don't
bear the union label"
Then we join hands and sing a
hymn of praise for the discovering by
some one that our souls are not
scared with the guilt of being con-
spirators to help bind the chains Of
slavery upon fellow Americans by
placing added power in the hands of
the largest, most oppressive and
harmful trust the world has ever
seen.
When you seek to buy something
look for the union LABEL and speak
your sentiments That's an opportu-
nifty to reach out helping hand to
the countless men and women in all
kinds of industry who brave bricks,
stones and bullets, to maintain their
American manhood and freedom by
making the finest goods in America
and which do not bear the seal of in
dustrial slavery, the ''Unios LABEL

various articles wrapped up and then
discover mo label" AMI refuse them
That's been done hundreds of times
and is but one of the petty acts of
hatred and tyranny
Let no one who reads this article
understand that he or she is asked to
boycott any product whether it bears
a union LABEL or not One has a
constitutional right to examine the
article and see whether it's makers
are Labor Trust contributors and
slaves or are free and independent
Americans.
I have tried to tell you something
about those who are oppressed, Wilt
fee Ted, and when opportunity Of
e.les~ are ao~,scned sQocause they prefer
to retain their own independent
American manhood. These men are
in the vast majority and include the
most skillful artisans in the known
world. They have wives and babes
dependent on them.
These men are frequently OPP
pressed and have no way to make
their wrongs known. They are
worthy of defense. That's the reason
for the expenditure of a few thou
sands of dollars to send this message
to the American people. Remember,
I didn't say my excuse" for sending
it. The cause needs no excuse"

N. B.-Some "parlor Socialist
who knows nothing of the Russian
Czarism of the great Labor Trust will
ask right here: Don't you believe
in the right of certain workmen to
organizer o yes, brother, when
real workmen manage wisely and
peacefully, but I would challenge the
right Of even a church organization
when it's affairs had bees seized by
a motley crew of heartless, vicious
men who stopped industries, melted
mobs to attack citizens and destroyed
property in order to establish their
control of communities and affairs,
and subject every one to their orders
and exact the fees. When you see
work of this kind being done call on
or write the prosecuting officers of
your district and demand procedure
under the Sherman antitrust law,
and prosecution for conspiracy and
restraint of trade. We have the law
but the politicians and many of our
officers even while drawing pay from
the people are afraid to enforce it in
protection of our citizens and now
the big Labor Trust is moving heaven
and earth to repeal the law so their
nefarious work may be more safely
carried on.

asking how they can secure the

Government in establishing a

FOR BETTER STREETS.

In another place is given the
information of the St. Francis
vile Town Councils desire to-
take up the work of permanent
street improvement, a desire
which will find an echo in the
breast of every man who has the
towns good at heart.
In the first place it Will cost
something-every thing worth
while does cost-and it will be
necessary to issue bonds to raise
the money. The success attend
inc the W. W. and E. L. bonds
will encourage the people to favor
a similar movement for other
public improvements. There
should belittle if any opposition
to this plan in view of the benefit
to the town.
It is perhaps too soon to dis,
cuss what should be done and
how, but in our opinion the time
is particularly favorable to the
construction of a roadway from
the upper corporation line on the
Woodville road to the Bayou
Sara line-and on to the river /

Local Effect of Liquor Law.

The practical operation of the
Gay-Shattuck law has had a
rather sombre-shattery effect
upon the local drinker. With the
exception, thus far, of Henry
Kaufman's saloon at the river
front, there is none other in the
two towns open for the white
trade, that is, where's white man
can go in and take a drink at the
bar. He can buy all he wants
for home consumption, but he
cannot say to another man:
''That's one on me-" for new
ordinance prevents drinking in
the streets also.
The saloon-keepers open to
the negro trade only, as they
find the license too high to cater
to the white trade.
St. F1ancisville has practical
prohibition for the whites, an
unexpected, amazing and anus
ing turn of affairs that the new
law has made. The practical
effects of prohibition may now be
observed, whether the Jug trade
will be increased and genera
drinking be increased or dimin
ished. The new law gives par
tial prohibition without loss O
revenue to the town. The course
of events will be watched witt
considerable interest.

canse an immediate demand for
more land and would provide the
money to pay for it. This makes
every man on the farm more
than six times the industrial
power he now is and gives him
a love of the farm. This is bet
ter than to leave him in discour-
agement and secure immigrants
to come and buy him out.
I should not speak so positive
ly, only I have observed for
quarter of a century that where
the Southern merchants have
changed from an advance sys'
TEN" to a cash system, they
have prospered very much more
than in former years and the
number of failures is immensely
less. Of course, it is not meant
that there should be no credits,
but practically there should be
little necessity for them until the
crop is actually ready for the
harvest, then trade becomes a
cash transaction. Or better still,
the farmer can get his money
from the bank and pay cash IN
all cases, if there is a lack OIL
ready money.
The advance system bears
down upon the cotton farmer
with special hardship. His crop
is either sold at once or is forced
to the gin and the warehouse sc
l as 70 secure loans. If the cot
ton farmer is not forced to sci
to raise money or pay debts he
will store his crop on his farm
) and market at his leisure, which
2 is in the interests of all parties
; 1t appears to me, therefore
5 that the farmer will immeasura

he has hitherto bought in tn
