 the local militia officials and men to persuade other business firms to make the same con- cession. It is suggested that if full pay is deemed too much of burden, part pay would suffice, on condition that the young men who go to the Mexican border to serve their country will be given their positions again when they return.
 In a national crisis of the sort which the United States now faces patriotic motives should actuate everyone. The indications are that the National Guard has something more serious in store than a few months holiday. These young men are responding to the call of duty with an enthusiasm and a patriotic ardor highly commendable. Their employees should cooperate in making their pecuniary sacrifices as small as pos sible.

THE PUBLIC FORUM

ITlE ONIONS SIDE.-In reply
to an article in The Forum by Sam
Scarlet and other statements given
out by members of the 1. w. w. in
regard to the Messenger Iunchrooms.
we desire to give the public these
facts:
We agree with Mr.. Scarlet that
industrial conditions at NessiDger's
have not been right, and for that
reason the L. J. E. B. had gone to
Messengers over two years ago. in
order to adjust these grievances.
Messenger was then a member of
the DelcO, Knab, Fitting, Powers and
VOgelsang lunchroom combination
and instead of dealing with the Joint
board, he got out injunctons prohib-
iting further attempts to organize
The L. J. E. B. then announced Mes
singers, in conjunction with other
lunchrOOms, to be unfair and in
formed organized workers to stav
away in order to bring Messenger to
time
For two years have the /. w. w.
and all other workers at Messengers
worked under court Injunction pro
lection in spite of the fact that the
International Union and the L. J.E.
B. have spent about $1,000 trying to
get union conditions.
Wednesday morning Messenger
called up the business agent Of Local
No. Z, informed him that he would
sign the regular union contract, I'M
cOnditiOnally, and, after this agree
ment had been made, men were fur
nished under union conditions by |
Local No. Z. In the afternoon a
meeting was held of the employees of !
Messengers and the men unanimOus-'I
ly endorsed the wage scale of Local |
No. Z and of all the other employees, !
such as pOrters, dishwashers, grid |
die men and pantry men.
In regard to Pres. Ben Parker fur

the men arrested, and asked them to
come into the Walters union; offered
to get them out of Jail, and said that
the union would take up the fight for
the men and that Messenger had
agreed to settle all grievances, but
these men refused to have anything
to do with either Parker or the A. F.
of L.
Parker sent out no stTikebreakers,
nor did any one else The fact is
that the twO-year fight with Mes
singer is a complete victory and Mes
singers is now a union house, sign
ed up, for all workers.
We have no grievances against the
l. w. W., nor any other group Of
workers fighting for better condi-
tons, but we respectfully request
them not to make capital out of our
fight If the l. w. W. wants to make
agreements with restaurant keepers,
we wish it success. There are 5000
places in Chicago. We are doing
everything we can to make cOndi-
tons better for the catering indus
try. We have several thousand
workers already organized and are
ready to organize them all into a
real industrial organization. Local

The close connection which exists

kidneys are diseased, arterial tension
is increased and the heart functions
are attacked. When the kidneys no
longer pour forth waste, uremic poi
soning occurs, and the person dies and
the cause is often given as heart dis
