and direction from his pastor. 1t was
the sort of statement that had u more
direct appeal than polished oratory.
Some men who were bent on strik-
ing hesitated, and then decided not to
go out. On the day the great strike
started, more men remained on duty
in the mill over which Dillon had
charge than in any other part of the
mammoth Homestead plant.
The strike was one of the fiercest in
the history of America. The compare
lively few men who remained at work
were shot at, stoned and beaten.

men who had been influenced by Dill
Ion wavered. No one did more than
the clergyman to hold them in line.
AS he counseled Dillon, he counseled
them. To surrender to force was un-

OF all the Homestead establishment.
the only mill that kept going through
out the strike was that small one over
which Dillon had charge. The force
was inadequate, but it kept the fires
going and it kept turning out material.
Dillon worked night and day, resting
only when he was exhausted. He came
of a fighting stock and several times
when HI. and his men were attacked
he had to battle for his life. He gave
as good as he received. Once he mar
rowly escaped death and was rescued
from a mob unconscious.
After martial law was invoked the
danger was lessened, but the strug-
gle. was long drawn out and the vic.
tory of the Carnegie company was
dearly won, for it left feuds and Bit
terness that lasted for years.
Rewarded by the Company.
In all that strike no man did more
for the Carnegie company than Patrick
Dillon. The fact that he kept his mill
going had a powerful effect. Had the
strikers succeeded in closing down
that solitary mill, some of the leaders
think to this day, they would have
triumphed.
When the strike ended, Dillon was a
wreck. His body was covered with
scars from the wounds he had received
in the battles with the strikers and his
strength was sapped by the long strain
to which he had been subjected. May
be the Carnegie people thought his
life would be none too safe until some
of the passion the strike had engen-

SYRUP Of FIGS FOR
A CH|LD'S BOWELS
1t is cruel to force nauseating,
harsh physic into a

Look back at your childhood days-
Remember the dose" mother insisted
on - castor oil. calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them. how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form OF
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides' are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli

action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless fruit

love to take it; that 1t never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet

OLD SOLDIER WISHES TO

I am frequently troubled with kidney
and bladder trouble, especially in the
Spring and Fall. Being an old Veteran

cold settles on my kidneys, and then

trouble. DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root was
recommended to me number of years
ago, and took a number of bottles of it
and was more than pleased with the re-
suits. l consider Swamp-Root the great
est and best kidney medicine on the
market and it never fails to give quick
results in kidney trouble, bladder trouble
and lame back.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root has done me
so much good that l feel if any words of
mine will be the means of relieving any
poor sufferers, that you are at liberty to
use this letter as you see fit.
