Wear Warm Clothes in Winter and Take One-haIf TeaspoonfuI of Rheuma Once Day to Drive
 Rheumatic Poisons from Your System,

Embarrassinq Scene on New London Street When Trousers Deserted Prisoner.

Frank Thompson's aversion to sus- penders created an embarrassing scene in State street, New London, Friday evening. Officer Rehn had ar rested Thompson and was Juggling him off to durance vile, as they say it, and all was we'll until the excursion reached the Western Union office. There Thompson's trousers deserted the party and he walked along clad only in fiannels.
 Officer Rehn, who is somewhat of a diplomat, hurried Thompson into the Western Union office. The officer con- templated sending a night letter or dering a pair of suspenders, but, if nally decided to get along as best he could without them. He dressed Thompson so as to make him pre- sentabIe and took him over to head quarters.

 IN AUTO FEES. Wonderful Growth in Motor Vehicle Department-Funds Received in Re- cent Years.

The growth of the automobile de- partment connected with the of flee of the secretary of state has been remarkable since it was es- abolished nearly nine years ago. It was not until 1907 that the receipts from the automobile business were kept separate from the receipts of the secretary's office from other sources. The amount received from registrations and operators licenses for the year ending Sept. 30, 1908, was $61,747.50, For the year end- ing Sept. 30, 1915, it was $536,970,- 09.

BY OLIVER GOLDSMITH

Where then ah! where shall poverty reside
To 'scape the pressure of contiguous pride?
IF to some commons fenceess limits strayed
He drives his flock to pick the scanty blade
Those fenceess fields the sons of wealth divide,
And cen the bare-worn common is denied
If to the city sped, what waits him there?
To see profusion that he must not share;
To see ten thousand baneful arts combined
To pamper luxury and thin mankind;
To see each Joy the sons of pleasure know
Extorted from his felow-creature s woe.

ORGANIZERS ARE WEAVERS

The industrial field is strewn with
the skeletons of organizations that

having accomplished their designs,
and an examination into the causes
of their failure invariably leads to
the dreamer reaching for the unat-

great yarns, and occasionally leave

Organized Labor as Portrayed by
Donna Vickory Co. at the Rose
Theatre in the PlayIet, 1.-THE
Union Label"

The greatest bone of contention of
the domineering rich and the one
which they think causes them their
greatest worry is Organized Labor.
If as much effort, expense and la
Dor was spent in behalf of the Union
man instead of against him, as the sit
uation is today, many dollars would
be saved by the employer and the
greatest of satisfaction and more
money be gained by the employee.
The Donna Vickory Co. will lay
bare just one of the many cases that
exist all over the country, sweatshop
labor. The little playlet will stir the
heart of any man, whether he be union
or non-union. 1t pictures the case of
many girls who are compelled by
force of circumstances to accept a
the Golfers of a beast who should be
compelled by all the laws of God and
man to pay living wage to the ones
who create his wealth
This point can only be gained by
Organized Labor, and the day is fast
approaching when labor will be king
and the ss-called ruling hand will be
compelled to accept the sovereign
will of the people and the mandate of
the people is that they and their kind
accept and adopt the Union Label.
This stirring playlet is forcibly pro
dueed by Donna Vivkery as the fore
woman in a sweatshop, Mr.. Gillard
as the representative of Union Labor
and Elmer H. Fruhling as the owner
of the slaves den and poor girls who
are working in the shop.

Industrial Publicity
Favored by Senate
Work of Commission
Ordered Printed

Washington.-By a yea and nay
vote the senate ordered printed lO0,O0O
copies of the report and 10000 copies
of the testimony taken by the recent
comission on industrial relations.
The resolution now goes to the
house for concurrence, as the resolu-
ton passed by that body provided
that the report alone be printed.
Before the final vote in the senae
Senaor Hoke Smith, who had pre-
viously blocked consideration of the
resolution, notified his colleagues that
81 will oppose the motion, but | will
not endeavor to prevent the senate
voting on it." The Georgia lawmaker
insisted that the expenditure of
$4,000 to print the testimony was
waste of money and that the printed
volumes would be speedily thrown
out as junk after being received"
Several senaors differed with this
statement and declared that not only
workers, but libraries and universities
have asked for copies of the testi-
mony, whihc was secured at a cost of
nearly half a million dollars.
There was no opposition to printing
the report of the commission. This
consists of final recommendations by
the various groups of the commits
sion The testimony of witnesses who
appeared before the commission, how
ever, tells it's own story. 1t lays bare
mining conditions in Colorado; of the
southern tenant farmer and cotton
mill worker of the textile operative
in the east and south; of the mi
gratory worker nthe west, and in a
graphic manner shows presentday
industrial conditions in every section
of the country.
This feature of the commissions
work is evidently distasteful to the
element that fears publicity, and
which has raised the cry of economy"
in an effort to suppress the first at
tempt of the government to secure
information relative to our economic
life
A majority of the senators, how
ever, did not believe this information
should be buried after spending such
vast sum to secure it and they
ordered the report printed. 1t is
estimated that the testimony will com
prise abou a dozen volumes of 500
pages each and the report will con-
sist of one volume of the same num-
Der of pages. 1t is intended that each
senator and congressman be allotted
number of both documents for pub
lie distribution and the superintendent
of documents will be authorized to
print additional copies, according to
the law governing the sale of public
documents.
