The success of President Wilson in
procuring the eight-hour law, which
met all the demands of the labor peo-
pie and which averted strike, which
meant ruin and starvation to millions,
does not meet the approval of Wall
street, nor the railroad magnates.
Does it meet the wishes of the labor
ing people? If it does, they will
show their approval and appreciation
by voting the entire Democratic tick
ct in November, and from all reports
and our knowledge of these people, we
are convinced they will vote the DIM
ocratic ticket. straight from top to
bottom.

NO CANADIAN NICKEL ON BOAT
Probably From American Mines,
Bought in Open Market.

NEW YORK, July 19.-Omcials of the
International Nickel Company, which
virtually controls the nickel output of
Canada in this country. are authority
for the statement that no Canadian
nicksa will go to Germany in the sub
marine Deutschland. An official of the
company asserted that this corporation
had an agreement with the Canadian
government under which it may not
supply nickel to any country with
which Great Britain is at war.
Other concerns in New York dealing
in nickel say they have no knowledge
of the source of the supply of that
metal now slowed in the German sub
marine. The manager of one company
said, however. that the Deutschland S
cargo probably had been obtained in
the open market.
Metal dealers declared today that
Canada was not the only source of
nickel in America. They said that a
quantity of nickel ore was obtained
through various copper mines in the
United States and that ore from New
Caledonia was brought here to be re-
fined.
