usually happens more easily another
time. Many people. after riding for
any length of time. are tired in the
back when they get out. If this is
kept up the pain or weakness in
creaSes until many times the person is
laid up with what is called lumbago or
rheumatism Both of these conditions
are commonly due to the wrong way
of using the muscles of the back.

LOVING PEACE AND
MAKING WAR.

They cheered in the rush from
the boats to Vera Cruz, they danced
when a difficult shot struck it's tar
get-and the president of the United
States appeared "sad and disheart-
ened," while the secretary of states
"eyes were sleepless and his face
ashen white" 1t is evident that no
little village trembling at the ap-
proach of conqueror could be more
overwhelmed than the Washington
officials at this conflict with the pun
.shment of enemies.
And this feeling is general throu-
ghout the nation. For months be-
fore the blowing up of the Maine
there were notable jingoes among us.
There have been jingoes at work for
several months on this Mexican
trouble. The difference is that in
1898 they had listeners and follow
ers. This year the mass of the peo-
pie scarcely know that some news
papers have been clamoring for
more than year for intervention
in Mexico-just as they do not know
that Hearst's Chicago American has
declared for the annexation of the
country.
In 1898 we scarcely realized what
war meant. The Civil war was far
back in the past-it had become an
historical pageant. But the Spanish
war is nearer to US now than the
Civil war was in 1898. And Ameri-
ca more than any other nation has
felt the changed spirit of the times.
The peace movement has grown fas-
ter than all the navies and armies
/ since the beginning of the new CEN
fury, and all Americans have felt it.
Therefore, when we read of Amer
leans killed at Vera Cruz we are sick
at heart. When we read of Ameri-
cans killing or wounding Mexicans
there is not one thrill of victorious
exaltation for US. The news is read
with no more glee than the account
of the executions of the gunner in
New York, or reports of destruc-
tive storm among the fishing fleets
off Newfoundland. We do not want
victory or conquest any more than
we want annexation and imperial do
main. We want peace and order,
and we desire only to proclaim peace
at Vera Cruz and Tampico, at Aca-
pulco and Mexico City.
But if war must come over these
acts of reprisal there will be no
shrinking, no disloyalty. The ma
ton will sustain Wilson at Tampico.
When we know the full details of
everything that led to the present
crisis we may approve or disapprove
the overt acts of the administration,
but when facing the outside world
we sustain our own government and
our own flag.

HEATING FEELS SANGUINE
TRUST BILL HELPS LABOR
INDORSED BY GOMPERS AND BY
OTHER TRADE UNIONISTS.
Incorporates Principles of Bartlett Bacon
Measure, and Strength Is Added by
Several New Provisions.

In the anti trust legislation now be-
fore Congress, the demands of organized
labor for relief from the Sherman law
as construed by many courts has been
amply provided for, according to a letter
from Congressman Edward Heating, read
at the Trades Assembly meeting last
Sunday. Keating has been one of the
leading champions for labor's interests
in the present Congress, and says this
is the most important legislation pre-
sented to Congress i'll a quarter century
affecting organized labor, and that it
will pass as a party measure in accord
ance with pledges made workers in the
Baltimore platform. Mr.. keating's let
ter is as follows:
House of Representatives, U. S.
Washington, ID. c., April %, 1914.
Mr.. W. R Welsh, Sec'y.,
Denver Trades and Labor Assembly,
Denver, Colorado.
Nv Dear Mr.. Welsh-Your letter of
April 20, asking me to support the Bart
lett Bacon bill, has been received
have been cooperating with a number of
members of Congress who are interested
in this measure. We have held weekly
meetings for two or three months, and
as the result of our efforts We have been
assured by the members of the judiciary
committee of the house that the princi-
Piles of the BartlettBacon bill will be
incorporated in the proposed antitrust
legislation suggested by President Will
SON This measure should come before
the house in the very near future, and
will OF course be put through as a party
measure.
Our work has secured the approval OF
President Gompers and Secretary Morri-
son of the A. +. of L., together with the
hearty Recommendation of all the other
labor leaders in the city. We found it
advisable to deviate from the wording of
the Bacon Bartlett bill, but, in the opin-
ion of our legal advisors, we have Sc
cured n much stronger measure.
To my mind this is the most impor-
tant piece of legislation, in so far as
organized labor is concerned, which has
been presented to the national legisla-
ture in a quarter of a century, and it
has been a genuine pleasure to be in
position to assist in securing favorable
action on it.
Under separate cover l am sending
you the hearings on the Colorado strike
investigation. Ten volumes have been
printed up to date. Later on we will get
the report of the committee and the
final volume of hearings. These will be
sent to you as soon as they leave the
press. With best wishes, | remain,
Sincerely yours,
EDWARD HEATING.

GERMER TELLS CHICAGO
LABOR OF STRIKE CAUSES
RoCKEFELLERS GREATER MENACE
THAN ANY FOREIGN FOE.
Tactics Pursued by Mine Owners in Colo
rado and Michigan Will Soon Bring
General Labor Uprising.

Armed uprisings OF laborers in all sec
tiOns OF the country were predicted
Sunday by Lieutenant Governor Barratt
O'IIara and other speakers, at the meet
ing of the Chicago Federation of Labor.
Tactics taken by the mine operators
in Colorado and in Michigan, aud by
officials of railroads now involved IN
labor difficulties were given as the
causes which would bring about the up
rising. Adolph Germer, who had been
at the scene of the Colorado mining
troubles since September, was one of the
speakers.
In his address before the federation
the lieutenant governor assailed John
ID. Rockefeller and his son, who control
some of the mines in Colorado.
nThe two Rockefellers make for a
greater menace to America than all the
Latin Americas put together" he said.
LEADERS of labor movements here this
afternoon have predicted the uprising OF
the laboring people, but they expressed
the hope that when the uprising came
the adjustment could be reached without
bloodshed," Mr.. O'Hara continued. 81
am in accord with their expectations
But if the difficulties cannot be settled
peaceably they will be settled the other
way.

of the Colorado strike / could readily
understand the danger of an uprising. I
believe. however, that the matters may
be settled without armed force.
"1he other day was walking in Ran
dolph street and stopped to speak to one
of the Mattresses picketing a restaurant.
Thought ! had the right to shake her
by the hand. but had only started to
speak when policeman came along and
wanted to arrest me- And that was in
civilized Chicago, not out on the noun
tain ranges of Colorado"
Germer outlined the causes of the
strike in Colorado to the delegates to the
federation. He acused Governor Am
mons and officers of the National Guard
with violating the laws of Colorado.
- William H. Walker, president of the
Illinois Federation of Labor, told incl
dents which have marked other mine
workers strikes. and predicted that in
the near future the members of the vari-
ous labor unions would not be able to
gain their demands by peaceful methods.
