The sufferer is in constant dread, the

sensation and is very profuse; again,
there Is difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call IL,
because they can't control urination.
While IL Is extremely annoying and some
times very painful, this is really one of
the most simple ailments to overcome

kOTEDLABOR MAN
MAKES APPEAL TO
LETTER CARRIERS
j. H. Strict, Sioux City, Urges
Aff1liation With National
Union Organization.
TAKE REFERENDUM VOTE
Points Out Advantages to Be Gained
in Being Associated With Pow
erful Federation.

That the letter carriers of the United
| can Federation of Labor if they ex
pect to secure favorable legislation,
was pointed out in a strong appeal
which was made to trf-city members of
| the National Letter Carriers associa-
ton by ]. H. Strict, Sioux City, presi-
dent of the Iowa Federation of Labor,
at mass meeting held Saturday even
ing at $50 at the postoffice building.
Otto Behnke, president of the
Davenport Letter Carriers association,
presided and introduced Mr.. Strict.
The speaker commented on the fact
that there is now being taken a refer
endum vote on the question OF affilia-
ton with the labor federation and
that the result will be not known I'M
til July 81. The outcome is being
awaited with unusual interest.
Mr.. Strict enumerated the many
advantages which would be gained
through association with the labor
movement. He told of the powerful
legislative committees and the work
which they are doing in Washington,
the state capitals and in some of the
larger cities. He referred to the nat
ural strength of numbers and made
the point that the letter carriers could
not nope to better their condition, I'M
less they become part of the great
labor propaganda. He explained in
detail the relation of the various
unions to the central organization and
declared the impression erroneous that
the American Federation of Labor
could call strike.
Labor Cause Grows.
This is a matter which rests entire
ly with each separate body" he de-
clared. printers, postoffice clerks and
machinists in government employ are
now affiliated with the labor organ
ization and l hope the time will soon
come when the mail carriers will fol
low their lead. The labor cause is
growing. For the first time in history
there is a union man in the presidents
ca binet. William B. Wilson, secretary |
of labor, carries a union cart ana for
eight years was international secre- |
