wANAMAKER FOR UNIONS.
Thinks Their leadership Is Improving
Would Cut Them Loose from Politics.

Philadelphia, Pa, June 24.-"Its an
insane thing not TO recognize organiza-
tions of labor" said John Wanamaker
yesterday in giving further testimony
before the United States commission on
industrial relations. He made this state
ment in reply to question whether
employers should recognize labor unions.
On the general question of unionism,
Mr.. Wanamaker said he believed il has
suffered frightfully" in the past be-
cause of poor leaders, but added that he
is seeing better leadership come in.
Commissioner Weinstock of California,
who presided yesterday, asked the wit
ness if he could supply the missing link
that would bring capital and labor to-
gether Mr. Wanamaker said:
81 believe labor and capital have the
right to organize On the one side, cap
ital there is responsibility; and on the
other side labor, there is none. There
YOU stop. The missing links / believe to
be prejudice and misunderstanding,
which must be overcome. One of the
ways to wipe out this prejudice and mis-
understanding is to unhitch labor unions
from political parties"
Mr.. Wanamaker believed that the de.
partments of commerce and labor should
be the courts of last resort III labor dis
putes One of the things he found wrong
in labor unions was the limiting of the
number of those who want to learn the
trades. Speaking of capital Mr.. Wanna
maker said John d. Rockefeller, ir,
made a great mistake when he put
President Wilson in the position of send
ing troops into Colorado
Contact with the employees is remedy
for much misunderstanding, he witness

have no other purpose than to protect
their wages" he said. Men who spend
their time getting their salaries raised

FIGHTING DISEASE GERMS

There is popular idea that most sick
ness is caused by germ of the disease
finding entrance to our bodies through
the food we eat, the water or milk we
drink or the air we breathe. This is true
as far as it goes but it is also true that
disease germs are entering our bodies
every day without causing disease.
The reason for this is that there are
forces within the body that are constant
~ fighting these disease germs and it is
only when this defence is weakened that
the germs get the upper hand and we be-
come i'll. One of the most powerful OF
these forces that work for health is rich,
red blood. Good, healthy blood increases
the resistance of the body to the dis
eases that are always threatening. 1t
is easier to keep up this resistance BIZ
taking DR.. Williams Pink Pills, eating
proper food, avoiding articles OF food
that do not agree with US and getting
plenty of fresh air day and night, than
1t is to cure disease after it gets foot
hold. Keep up the resistance OF your
body to disease by these tonic pills, which
you can get at any drug store, and you
will avoid much sickness.
Two booklets, Building Up the Blood
and "What to Eat and How to Eat"
will be sent free by the DR.. Williams

IN BOSTON MARKETS.
Butter Market Dull and Unsettled-Eggs
Hold Steady in Price.

Boston June 24.-The local butter
market continues dull and unsettled
with a rather weak undertone. Sales at
the prices made necessary by first cost
are very difficult and receivers are
obliged to store a good deal of stock,
since receipts are very heavy and clear
ance is otherwise impossible. Outside
markets are easier and drop is looked
for in local prices within day or two.
Cheese also is expected to weaken be-
fore the week gets very much older, as
receipts are easier, the demand slow and
markets are easier Hennery eggs keep
closely sold up and firm; really good
gathered eggs are not too plenty, and
hold quite steady in price.

CALLS DOWN THE PRESIDENT.
Washington Attorney Gets in Wrong
When He "Cusses Out" Man Behind.

Washington, June PA disagreeable
occurrence on the links OF a Washing
ton country club thoroughly marred the
enjoyment of President Wilson's golf
last Saturday. The facts became known
yesterday.
Mr. Wilson made a powerful drive and
the ball whizzed uncomfortably close to
the ear of a young Washington attor-
ney, who was playing ahead of the pres
ident. The startled player, his ordinary
good nature upset, INDUCED himself in
some overly emphatic language in ex-
pressing to the player behind him his
opinion of mis- carelessness. Entirely
unaware of the identity of the man he
had "cussed out" he stood aghast, upon
turning about, to recognize in him the
president OF the United States.
Mr.. Wilson was deeply offended, and
without another word bundled up his
golf clubs and left the links, his game
unfinished The member of the club who
offended him has written letter of apol
ogy to the president.

Brighton.

| Boston, June 24.-Hogs were firm and
higher in Brighton yesterday, ut
all other live stock was easier, and sell
ers found it impossible to get the top
prices of week ago.
About SA cents was the top price
for heavy cattle, the range for the best
being 7al TO sa4 cents, with good cattle
at to ~ cents and light steers at 61a
to cents.
Heavy beef cows were also easier,
though some shippers were trying to
get 7 cents for an occasional choice
heifer. Best cows sold at to 61a cents,
and now and then fraction more for
fancy. Good cows brought 51a to 6
cents, ordinary cows Az to s cents and

lower, the best bringing 6 to Ga cents
ordinary bulls to 512 cents and bolog-
mas to cents.

prices lower. Best lots brought as high
as cents, the range being 8 to 8 cents,
with ordinary lots at to cents, mixed
lots and grassers at 5 to 81 cents.
Hogs were about Il cents higher,
though the early promise of strength
was not borne out by the later news of
opening prices at Chicago The top
price paid for the day was $50 cents,
the range for the best being $50 to $50
cents, with rough lots at s to S14 cents
and boars at 4 to Az cents
Sheep and lamb were in light supply
prices being nominally unchanged at 6
to cents for lamb and 4 to cents for
sheep.
Mich cows were in large supply and
prices easier for all good stock. Ordi-
nary cows sold at $25 to $50, with good
mixers at $50 to $75 and higher than
this for fancy mixers. Working oxen
were in better supply, prices depending
on condition and weight.

LIBERAL LEADER ASKS

He Introduces a Measure Identical with

Sham

London. June 24-The crisis in con-
neetion with the deadlock in regard to
the granting of home rule to Ireland en-
tered another stage yesterday, when the
marquis of Crewe, leader in the House
of Lords, introduced bill to amend the
Irish home rule bill.
The terms of the amending bill are
identical with those offered March 8 by
Premier Asquith and contemptuously re-
fused by Sir Edward Carson, the Irish
Unionist leader, as "hypocritical
sham"
BY the new bill, the parliamentary
electors of each county in Ulster are
to be allowed to decide by vote whether
the county shall be excluded from the
provisions of the home rule bill for
period of six years from the first meet
ing of the new Irish Parliament.

GOLD EXPORT
NEAR END
Europe Is Said to Be Salts
fed with Ship
ments
EXPORTS CEASE WITH
CROP MOVEMENT
Europe Is Now Buying Our
Wheat in Large
Quantities

Washington, June 24.-Treasury de-
partment officials are confident the ex-
portation of gold is drawing to an end
and predict that there viii be little
gold exported from now on which had
not been contracted for before the ex-
change rate fell The sudden decline
in the exchange rate to point where
the expectation of gold is no longer
highly profitable, is taken as an indica-
ton that the heavy shipments already
made to Europe have satisfied the pres
ent demand.
The expectation of is bound to
cease with the movement of the grain
crop from the United States to Europe, -
George Il. Roberts, director of the mint,
remarked to-day. Europe has already
begun to buy large quantities of Amer
lean wheat, although the wheat is not
yet ready for shipment. Fianace bills
are issued in advance for much of the
grain. These are already coming out,
They virtually amount to loans and
will act as check on the flow of gold
to Europe"
Mr.. Roberts also called attention to
the fact that the heavy season for inn
ports into the United States Is over and
there is reason to believe that the
heavy expectation of grain will make a
more favorable foreign trade showing
for the United States. Already fifteen
ships have been chartered for wheat
shipments to Europe and exporters are
said to seeking more vessels for July
and August sailngs. The treasury de-
partment is not ordering any additional
gold to the sub-treasury IN New York
and it is believed the supply already
there will meet European demands.

eTs took a slam at the get-rich-quick
labor sharks when they brought
Loupis Citro, the wealthy Italian
labor agent of 821 S. Desplaines

Inspector Knight filed 80 separate

a gang of 10 to so men and constitut-
ing about 500 separate complaints.
Citro has been forced to refund ST.

money received for jobs that did not
exist.
Citro is labor agent for the B. & o.
Railroad, and, after charging men e
SIS fee, shipped them to camp,
worked them a week, then discharg-
ed the men and shipped new gang.
There was constant stream of men
going and coming from the jobs, each
one paying SIS.
Before the labor board Citro stated
that when jobs got scarce and men
were plentiful his fees went up. But
in the summer when men were hard
to get he spent thousands of dollars
securing the country for laborers.
why l shipped 10000 men with
out fee last summer" he cried,
failing to add that these men were
forced to board at his commissary
and pay exorbitant prices for rotten
food.

wick, Ohio, were forced to sleep in

were kept four days and, then dis
charged. Citro was forced to refund

Mich, president of the Independent
Telephone Association of America,
which is holding its annual conven-
ton here, explained the attitude of
the Independents.
"a fair field. and favors for none
is our aim," said Mr. Fisher. ''It es-
tablishes a dangerous precedent to
allow a corporation to acquire a
monopoly, either partial or poten-,
tial."
Alderman Merriam, addressing the
meeting, was more concerned in the
