Stone said more had happened to help
the cause of labor during the past II
months than in as many years previous.
I "You no doubt have read of the So
900, 100000 combine of employers, he
said. "That doesn't worry organized
labor in the least
l.. F. Shepard, acting in the absence
of A. b. Garretson, indicated that the
brotherhoods would line up in support
of the Adamson law as opposed to the
feeling in the federation that the eight
hours should be obtained without legis-
lation when he said, :" i believe the bill
(the Adamson act) will serve our pur-
pose.
Starting with a guarded suggestion
by Stone, the first speaker, concerning
questions of jurisdiction that have pre-
vented such affiliation, the visitors
steadily warmed TO the idea until at the
conclusion OF the last speech, no dele
gate in the hall doubted that the broth

Gompers said:
"It is great comfort to hear you
say the time is not far distant when the

of President Wilson s name on several
occasions and it appeared likely that

|C|TY OF SALEM WINS
SUIT OVER SEWERS
Lower Court Reversed Nine
Other Opinions Handed
Down

Because the findings of fact did not
support the conclusions .of-law in the
case of a. t. Moffitt, respondent,
against the city of Salem, appellant, an
appeal, to the Oregon supreme court
from a Judgment rendered in favor of
the plaintiff by Judge Kelly for the
recovery of money paid on sewer as
sessment, the supreme court this morn
ing reversed the judgment and dismiss
ed the ease.
When the South Salem sewer was con
structed lots belonging to \. 7. Moffitt
were assessed $115.44. He wanted to
sch the lots to C. Pembertotn, who
would not take them until the city lien
had been satisfied and the title was
clear. To gain the clear title, Moffitt
paid the assessment and sold the lots.
Thereafter the assessments were de-
clared illegal and the city passed an
amendment to the charter providing for
% bonding Of the city for the repayment
of those who had paid their assess
ments. After the refunding ordinances
went into effect, c. Pemberton filed a
claim for the money which, with inter
est, amounted to $129.S3. Moffitt ask
ed that the money be refunded to him,
as he said he paid it under protest. On
refusal of the defendant to refund the
present action was brought. The com
plaint was heard before Judge Kelly
who found for the plaintiff. The de-
fendant city then appealed.
Some Other Opinions.
Nine other decisions of the supreme
court were rendered this morning and

Jane Caples, appellant, against W. l..
Morgan, respondent, an appeal from

@ @ANURIC.l"
THE NEWEST
DISCOVERY IN CHEMISTRY

This is n recent discovery Of Doctor
Pierce, who is head of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
N. Y. Experiments at Doctor Pierce's
Hospital for several years proved that
there is no other eliminator OF uric acid
that can be compared to it. For those
easily recognized symptoms of infiam-
nation as backache, scalding urine
and frequent urination, as well as sedi-
ment in the urine, or il uric acid in the
blood has caused rheumatism, 1t rs
simply wonderful how surely "Anuric" !"
acts. The best of results are always
obtained in cases of acute rheumatism
in the joints, in gravel and gout, and
invariably the pains and stiffness which
so frequently and persistently accom-
pany the disease rapidly disappear. i.
Go to your nearest drug store and
simply ask for q 50-cent package OF
UAnuric," manufactured by DIR. Pierce,
or send 10 cents to DIR. Pierce for a
large trial package. If you suspect
kidney or bladder trouble, send him o
sample OF your water and describe
symptoms. Doctor Pierce's chemist
will examine it, then DR.. Pierce will
report TO you, without fee or charge.
NorE - French scientists affirm that
oAnuric" is thirty seven times more
nctive than lithia in eliminating uric
acid, and : is n harmless but reliable
chemical compound that may be safely
given to children, but should be used
only by grown-ups who actually wish to
restore their kidneys to perfect health,
by conscientiously using one box or
more in extreme cases - as rAnuric" |"
thanks to Doctor Pierce's achievementl
Is by far the most perfect kidney and
bladder corrector obtainable.
