LOCAL LABOR AGENTS
ATTACK FREE BUREAU
Not Justified In Declaring that
State Bureau Is In Interest
Of Union Labor.
Not Charity for State to Furnish
Information for Employment
for Men.

The private employment agents are
at war against the State Free EN-
ployment bureau. In interviews pub
]ished in the News Tribune this week
some of them are accredited with say
ing some very harsh things about the
state bureau.
The private employment agents
may have a grievance because of the
general attacks being made upon
them, for there are number of
honest men in the business, but they
are not justified in attacking the
state bureau as an institution, and
when they do it weakens their case
In the matter of which they now COM
plain.
Martin Cole, the manager of the
state bureau at Duluth, is evidently
not very much worried over the at
tacks for he declares that when the
facts are known some of the local pri-
Zate agents will not have 80 much to
say. IL ,"
The Labor World has no desire to
erter the controversy, except to give
the private agents a jolt for declar-
ing that the state bureau is being run
in the interest Of union labor, when
they know that members of unions
seldom if ever have occasion to uti-
lize the bureau. It is the great army
of unorganized workers for whom the
bureau was instituted. ss5:
When the private agents assert that
a free job is charity they are but
cheapening their own business. Il AS a
matter of fact they do not give men
Jobs; it is but the information they
ever pretend to give. If they really
give men work then they ought to
be held personally liable in each and
every case for the failure Of every
employer to live up to the contract
made with the private agent.
Their claim that the ticket given by
the state bureau does not amount to
anything is not worth answering for
never has there been a. charge made
than any man has been sent to job
under Misrepresentation. The private
agents will make few friends by such
4 tactics. AZ

Woman WiesdS
Razor On Man
AntOnetta BellerOccO Meets
John Sullo and Slashes Him
in Face

New Haven, Aug 25-Because he
had driven her to desperation by his
efforts to get her to run away from
Antonetta Bal1erocco met John F.
Sullo, on East street, about 6 o'clock
last night, and slashed him in the face
with a razor, inflicting wounds so SER
ious that it is feared the injured man
may not recover.
HE drove me crazy the woman
cried when she was arrested imme-
diate1y after the cutting by Patrolman
Gianelli of the Grand avenue station
81 wanted to stay with my children,
but he wouldn't leave me alone. Now
he won't bother me-" and then she
went off in an incoherent abuse OF
the man in Italian.
Gianelli finally worked out her story
that Sullo had been visiting her and
meeting her, trying to get her to- run
away and had even threatened to kiln
her If she didn't go with him, accord-
ing to her claims. After this threat,
the woman claims, she carried razor
whenever she went out, and was con-
sequently armed when he met her on
East street on the way to the store
last night. She says he again impor-
tuned her and she became so desper-
ate and afraid that she pulled out
the razor and slashed him.
Sullo told a different story in the
hospital last night. He claimed that
the woman was the one that wanted
to run away and that he had a lot
of letters that she had written to him.
He says she met him on. the street
last night and cried. "You told my
mother was a bad woman. I'll kill
YOU" Despite his protestations to the
contrary she then attacked him.
The police stated that they had re-
ceived a complaint from the woman's
husband some time ago about her go
ing away with Sullo.
The woman after an examination
was admitted to $1,000 bail on the
charge of assault with intent to kill.
Sullo's condition is serious.

Body Of Bridge
Jumper Secured
Unique Suicide Proves to be
John ]. G MY Whom Dredger
Brings up

New Haven, Aug. 25-The body of
the man who dived off the Tomlinson
bridge last Sunday at midnight was
found off Belle Dock yesterday after
noon and was later identified as that
of John J. Ginty of 395 Grand avenue.
1t develops that Ginty lost an eye in
the wire mill about two years ago and
has not been in very good health since
then, this being the probable cause of
his suicide.
The body was probably brought to
the surface by the big dredger that is
working in the harbor and it was
one of the men employed on it, Fred
Ekbloom, who saw the body and had
it towed to shore. The body was dis
covered about a quarter past one
O'Clock, and it was several hours later
before DR.. Scarborough. the medical
examiner, was able to secure an iden-
tification. The body was naked and
had nothing to identify it. Ginty hav-
ing leaped off the bridge after com
pletely stripping himself.
Ginty was single and about 25 years
old. He was a son of Peter and Cath
crime Ginty.

TO REDUCE LIVING COST

If every household kept an accurate
account of the dollar spent here, the
two dollars there, and fifty cents
somewhere else, for the carpenter or
other mechanic who comes in to do
some trifling job, the results would be
astonishing. At the end of a year,
probably ten dollars would be a very
small average estimate for such ex-
penseS. A bureau drawer sticks, or
a bed room door will not close, the
door bolt loosened, bottoms fall out of
drawers or boxes, floor boards have
to be planed before vanishing. Each
of these things and many more costs
a little bit of money. If every house
keeper had a tool that would do the
work of plane, a file, a scraper and
would require no sharpening and
would never get dull, all this could
be saved. So every housekeeper should
watch for the coupon appearing in the
Farmer by which they will be enabled
at a trifling cost to cover packing and
shipping expenses, to get a Universal
Vixen Tool that does all these things
and saves everv household all this
money

HONEST MEDICINES
VERSUS FAKES.

President Taft's recent message
suggesting an amendment to the Pure
Food and Drugs law in its relation to
Prepared Medicines, does rot refer to
such standard medicines as Foley
Honey and Tar Compound and Foley
Kidney PILLS, both of which are true
medicines carefully compounded of in
gradients whose medicinal qualities
are recognized by the medical pro-
fession itself as the best known rem
edial agents for the diseases they are
intended to counterfeit. For over three
decades Foley's Honey and Tar Com
pound has been. a standard remedy
for coughs colds and affections of
the throat chest and lungs for chill
dren and for grown persons, and it
retains today it's pre-eminence above
all other preparations of it's kind. Fo-
ley Kidney Pills are equally effective
and meritorious. F. B.. Brill and Cur

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 25.-In the

''The trouble with President Taft
is that he is constitutionally distrust-

the tyranny of a minority but be-
comes historical at the thought of
the majority making a mistake.
When he refuses to allow Arizona
to frame her constitution to suit her
self he shows leanings toward a cen
tralized government and when he be-
comes frightened at the recall he dis
closes a lack of faith in the capacity
