WOMEN FOR TRADES.
Building Trades Will Soon Have
Female Carpenters, Plumbers
and Bricklayers.

The first general advent in this coun-
try OF women in industries formerly
considered the economic province of
men only occurred when women were
employed as coremakers in Massachus-
etts in a pump manufacturing establish
ment- That 1t is the purpose of employ
ers to crowd women into all industries is
indisputable. In line with the above
statement. the following is an item
which was clipped from an Eastern pub
lication. and is indicative of the condi-
tion of affairs which the workmen of
this country will be compelled to face

MAY CALL TROOPS TO STOP RIOT.

Des Moines, Ia.-All saloons were
closed here Wednesday and extra dep
uty sheriffs patrol the territory about
the big transfer barns, following the Sc
rious riots of Tuesday. when striking
transfer drivers and sympathizers intim-
idated the police and attacked wagons
driven by strikebreakers and stormed
the barns in which they were concealed.
The owners of the transfer companies
will try to induce Governor Carroll to
call state troops into the field.
The transfer companies put wagons
guarded by deputy sheriffs on the streets
"Wednesday and as result mobs fol-
lowed the wagons and abused the
drivers.
Jesse Ranous. deputy sheriff. was
nearly mobbed when he arrested q
striker for throwing a brick at a strike
breaker and his prisoner was taken from
him. The police are in sympathy with
the strikers and refuse to obey the or
ders OF Sheriff Ben Ness. who says he
will call upon the governor for state
troops to preserve order unless the SIT
uation improves soon.

NO preliminary injunction shall be
granted without notice to the opposite
party. Nor shall any temporary re-
straining order be granted without no
tice to the opposite party. unless it shall
clearly appear from specific facts. shown
by affidavit or by the verified bill, that
that immediate and irreparable loss or
damage will result to the applicant be-
fore the matter can be heard on notice.
In case a temporary restraining order
shall be granted without notice, in the
contingency specified, the matter shall
be made returnable at the earliest pos
sible time, and in no event later than
ten days from the date of the order,
and shall take precedence of all matters,
except older matters of the same char
acter. When the matter comes up for
hearing the party who obtained the tenn
porary restraining order shall proceed
with his application for a preliminary
injunction. and if he does not do SO the
court shall dissolve his temporary re-
straining order. Upon two days notice
to the party obtaining such temporary
restraining order. the opposite party
may appear and move the dissolution or
modification of the order, and in that
event the court or Judge shall proceed
to hear and determine the motion as
expeditiously as the ends of Justice may
require. Every temporary restraining
order shall be forthwith filed in the
clerks office"

lowance, make an order suspending.

during the tendency of the appeal. upon
such terms. as to bond or otherwise, as
he may consider proper for the security
of the rights of the opposite party"
When the court issued its code of
rules as guidance for the equity courts
under the Jurisdiction of the United
States, Secretary Morrison gave out the
following to the public press: Il am
pleased with the published statement in
regard to the rule on injunctions issued
by the Supreme Court of the United
States. The fact that the Supreme
Court, on its own motion, has formu-
lated a rule eliminating some very OBJ
jectionahle features in the issuance OF
injunctions, against which labor organi-
cations have been protesting, should
make it patent to the minds Of the pub
lie that the Supreme Court recognized
them as abuses, and for that reason has
issued a rule which will prevent these
abuses in the future. The contention of
labor organizations is that the injunc-
tions issued were without authority of
the law. The action of the Supreme
Court is proof positive that the conten-
ton of the labor organizations is well
founded. 1t is step in advance and
will do much to assist in securing the
passage of the Clayton anti-injunction
bill, which passed the House and Is now
awaiting action by the Senate"

INTEREST cENTERED IN EIGHT.
HOUR LAW.

Interest In labor circles Is centered
in the woman's eight-hour law which
was favorably voted upon at the recent
election. II was said before the Trades
Assembly. Sunday. by more than one
delegate that some OF the Denver laun-
dries were considering reductions in
wages to their women employees.
ayers of the iaundries were con-
sidering putting in Japs and Cinnamon
IN the women refused to work at the re-
duced scale. II was reported that those
who are now receiving Sc would here
after receive 81. and those receiving IS
week would be paid SO.
This matter being brought before the
assembly. the legislative committee was
instructed to take the matter in hand
and assist the laundry workers
The newspapers have devoted much
space to the subject of late. and have in
terviewed the managers OF the different
laundries. Six of Denver's large laun-
dries will put into effect the women's
new eirht-hour law Dec. 1. the managers
say. instead OF waiting until the law
goes into effect, after the first of the
year
This was decided upon In a semi-offi-
cial way. at the meeting OF the Laundry
mems association this week. Others are
exnected to follow.
The wages of the girls employed in
these laundries. which at present are
based on a nine-hour day. or more. will
applv to the shorter day without change.
More machines will be installed and tho
working forces increased BY March 1.
II conditions warrant. the weekly wage
OF the girls will be increased from 81 to
81 a week.
The laundries which have signifed
their willingness to recognize the hu-
name provisions OF the new law for girls
and women. are the Colorado. the Silver
State. the Ideal. the Columbia, the Queen
City and the Broadway.
The present scale OF wages paid on
the mangles In these 1aundries is said
to average from IS to 81 week. BY
spring Il Is the hope of the proprietors

A Liberal Offer
We Guarantee TO Relieve Dyspepsia.
II We Fail the Medicine
Costs Nothing.

To unquestionably prove to the
people that indigestion and dys.
peps!a can be permanently re-
lieved and that Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets will bring about this re-
rult, we will furnish the medicine
absolutely free if it fails to give
satisfaction to ony one using it.
The remarkable success of
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets is due
to the high degree Of scientific
skill used in devising their form
ula as we'll as to the care exer.
cised in their manufacture,
whereby the well-known. proper
ties of Bismuth Subnitrate and
Pepsin have been combined
with Carmatives andother agents
Bismuth- Subnitrate and Pep
sin are constantly employed and
recognized by the entire medical
profession as Invaluable in the
treatment of indigestion and
dyspepsia.
The Pepsin used in Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets is carefully
prepared so as to develop it's
greatest efficiency. Pepsin sup
plies to the digestive apparatus
one of the most important ele-
meuts of the digestive fluid.
Without it the digestion and as
similation of food are impossible.
The Camatives possess prop
critics which aid in relieving the
disturbances and pain caused by
undigested food. This combi-
nation of these ingredients
makes remedy invaluable for
the complete relief of indigestion
and dyspepsia.
We are so certain of this that

Walt Writes on Saving Money.

It's good to have some ricks of
money put up against the rainy
day; twill make that day seem
bright and sunny, and keep the
hungry wolf away. He is not
properly behaving who does not
see that he is saving II portion
of his weekly wage. But it is
better far and wiser to blow
your scabs, already yet, than be
a mean tight listed miser who
pinches plunks until they sweat.
The spenthrift has some charms
and graces however foolish he
may seem; but no one loves the
man who chases the dollars
round until they scream. To die
in almshouse or in prison is bet
ter than the miser'S end, for hat
red and contempt are his n, and
at his grave there's not friend.
Oh, save the bucks, but do not
make them your god, nor yet
your only goal; it's better far to
burn and shake them than let
them cauterize your soul.
