BEWARE OF OINTMENTS FOR CA
TARRH THAT CONTAIN MERCURY,

as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles
should never be used except on pres
criptions from reputable physicians, as
the damage they will do is ten fold to
the good you can possibly derive from
them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufac-
tured by F. j. Cheney & Co.. Toledo,
o., contains no mercury, and is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-

SETBACK FOR UNIONS.
Colorado Court Declares Anti coe reion
Law invalid

Law Invalid.
The Colorado anti-coercion law, en-.
acted twenty years ago. which pro.
v1des that no employer shall discharge
an employee because he belongs to a
labor union or attends labor meetings.
has been declared invalid by Judge
Sullivan of that state.
The law, regarded as the strongest
In Colorado for the protection of la.
Dor unions, has never before been at
tackled. The decision resulted from a
suit brought by Labor Commissioner
Brake against Mcneil Bros. operators
of coal mine at Cameo, who dis.
charged and evicted twenty-three men
In their employ.
This decision is one Of many that
shows the inequality that labor suf.
fers in the administration of law. This
decision grants to the employers OF
Colorado the right to blacklist work.
ingmen who belong to labor unions OF
take any part in their work. But, on
the other hand. the United States su.
preme court denies to labor the right
OF a defense through the boycott,
which is the most effective weapon
that labor has to meet it's opponents
who use the blacklist. Such a decision
favors the employer at the expense of
the workingman and is a decision in
the interest of one class to the disad.
vantage Of another and is therefore
class decision, against which labor
protests and which it is seeking to
remedy through labor legislation that
President Taft declares is calculated
to give to labor unequal privileges.
The labOring man and the trade un.
ionists ask only equality before the
law. but If the courts declare the
blacklist to be legal and the boycott
to be illegal the laboring man does not
get equality before the law. and no
amount of sophistry can conceal the
fact.
Professor George G.. Groat Of the
Ohio Wesleyan university in recent
address on labor laws declared very
justly that the Interpretation placed
on labor legislation by the courts fire.
Quently operates SO that the employer
is able to turn the constitution into an
instrument Of inequality" And the
decision of the Colorado judge is
case in point.
