Labor Conference Suggested.
THE basis Of reconstruction should
be the trAde.union movements OF the
various countries. We recommend
that an international labor conference
OF representatives Of the trade-union
movements Of all countries be held AZ
the same time and place as the world
peace congress, that labor may be IN
touch with plans under consideration.
I'VE urge the immediate necessity OF
providing for some adequate form OF
under federal control. and co-ordlnat-
ing all local efforts along this line.
I'VE further recommend that some
action be taken by this convention In
such plans for rehabilitation, SO that
men will remain in the employment OF
the government until they can be pro-
vided with remunerative employment
cies, unless they have not employment
opportunities already open to them.
Secured Best Agreements.
Since the war began. the report says,
the American labor movement has Sc
cured the best agreements with the
government that have been secured in
any other warning countries"
Foremost among these agreements
are cited the understanding entered
into between the Secretary of War and
Samuel Gompers, president Of the fed
GRAFTON. which provided that local
standards should govern wages. hours
and conditions in the building of can
tonments.
Other agreements mentioned included
a memorandum for the adjustment by
a Joint board Of wages, hours and con-
ditions in shipbuilding plants; an
agreement to govern conditions OF
labor in loading and unloading vessels.
and the creation Of commission to
settle disputes in the harness and sad
dlery industry.
Considerable space is devoted to the
attitude of the council toward prob
lens raised by the war which have
been engrossing public attention. Chief
among these is the ch-discussed
suggestion for the CONSUMPTION Of
labor. concerning which the report
says:

A Bitter Lesson From England.

IT was in England when the Princess
Pat Canadian regiment was literally
cut to pieces. You know they went
in full regiment Of 2.400 men and
came out with $50 men and eight off,
GERS. and the most of them wounded
The artillery had run out of shells and
they had to crawl out on their bellies
leaving approximately 1900 men be-
hind. dead and missing. They even had
to witness one of their officers crucified
before their very eyes.
And what was happening in Eng.
land? Necessary munitions were de-
1ayed three weeks for the reason that
the workmen were taking their usual
summers holiday.

For Freedom Of Expression.

Freedom of expression Is declared by
the report to be ono Of the fundamentals
Of democracy, but it Is pointed out that
war conditions present very different
problems from those Of peace.
Urgent Recommendation Is made by the
council that the etght-hour day be ex-
tended by administrative authority to all
commerce and industry as a war meas
ure.
THE failure Of all concerns to accept
the eight-hour basis is the cause OF more
industrial discomfort and unrest than

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
 EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance
 Often Rejected.

An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Com panies, in an interview of the subject, made the astonishing statement that ore reason why so many applicants for insurance are rejected is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large ma jority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease.
 Judging from reports from drug gists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very suc- ccssfuI in overcoming these conditions. Tho mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilnaer's Swamp Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for it's remarlSa- ble record of success.
 We find that Swamp Root is strict iy an herbal compound and we would advise our readers who feel in need of such remedy to give it a trial. It is on sale at all drug stores in bot ties of two sizes, medium and large.
 However. if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y, for sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention the Norwich Daily Bulletin.

PAGEANT PRESENTED BY
 STANDARD BEARERS SOCIETY In Connection With the Meeting of Norwich District Missionary Society.

A pageant entitled The Torch Bear CTS was given by the Sta ndard Bear CT society of the Trinity Methodist church. Tuesday evening. in connec- ton with the meeting of the Nor wich District Missionary society. The idea of the pageant was to show the need of missionaries in foreign fields and what becomes of those lands that are neglected. The pageant was inn pressive as well as being beautiful, both in appearance and thought
 The first part represented the Angels Of Light and the seven different coun- tries to which missionaries are sent. Twelve young ladies representing the angels marched into rhe church and took their places in the choir loft as an invisible choir comprised of Miss ert Gray and William A. Lrnd sang The Morning Light. Tine Angels were followed by seven young ladies repre- senting seven nations The young la dies were dressed in the native cos tune of the land and as Miss Elizabeth Lane read a short description of the country which each represented they took the places on the platform. The angels and the countries then marched back out of the church. Miss Lane read an interesting poem.
 In the second part of the programme the church was darkened and as Mrs. William Grove, IT,, sang Oh, Zion Haste. the pilgrims dressed in black
  to the platform. The pilgrims were followed by the Angels of Light each bearing a candle and Bible. The Pilgrims ard Angels met on the plat form Iand each angel gave Bible to pilgrim and led him away by the hand As there were many more pill grims than angels those that remained groped around in the dark and then re- turned from whence they came. Mrs. Grove sang Is It Nothing to You. The thought represented in the second part was that while there are some mis- sionaries to the darkest countries there are rot enough to get in touch with all the people and that while a few are saved many are not brought to see the light and the True God. Miss wanzer. a returned missionary, gave an inter- esting address and sang a hymn in Chinese.
 At the afternoon session the regu- lar business was transacted and re- ports made and accented. Tea was served at six o'clock. There were rep resentattves from the churches of the surrounding towns including Moosup Mantle and New London
