workers who were forced to submit to
the Loyalty League yoke that if they
successfully passed the examination
for travelling cards of the league, these
cards would be ''rustling cards." good
for jobs in Bisbee or any other camp
in Arizona, New Mexico, Utah or Ne
vada where Loyalty Leagues had been
established. The examination deals,
as might be suspected. with the ques-

LIBERTY BONDS READY
TO DELIVER SEPT. 26

Delivery of Liberty Bonds to
subscribers, Secretary McAdoo
announces, will begin September
&c. The twelve federal reserve
banks will distribute the issue.
Considering the probable retention
by many subscribers of interim
certificates, already issued, Off
cials estimate that the work of
distribution will require several
weeks.
The huge issue is larger in the
number of bonds required than
first reports, based on more than
100000 individual subscriptions,
indicated.
The number of coupon bonds,
Secretary McAdoo said, is esti-
mated by federal reserve banks as
in excess of s,700,000 pieces, of
which more than 100000 are of
the $50 and 500 denominations.

In response to call issued by j. E.
Smith, organizer for the American
Federation of Labor, acting upon in
structions of President Gompers, a
meeting of twenty-five representative
union labor men and American Social
lists was held Monday evening in the
parlors of the Windsor hotel to take
preliminary steps looking to the or
ganiZation in Denver of a branch of
the American Alliance for Labor and
Democracy. Similar branches are be-

order that labor's loyal attitude in

an attempt to divide labor and weaken

To Perfect Organization
A temporary organization of the
local branch was effected by those
present, after an informal discussion
of the program outlined at the recent
Minneapolis convention. Clint c.
Houston, editor of The Denver Labor
Bulletin, was made temporary chair
man. and Ed. Anderson, secretary of
the State Federation of Labor, tenn
porary secretary. A committee to
draft a plan for permanent organiza-
ton was selected. This committee
consists of W. C. Crum, representing
the Denver Trades and Labor Assem-
bly,; Ben Claff, a state leader of Amer
lean Socialists, and Otto F. Thum, for
mer president of the State Federation
of Labor, together with the temporary
chairman and secretary.
American Socialists Invited.
Another meeting will be called with
in few days to hear report of the
committee, when the organization will
be made permanent. The Alliance for
Labor and Democracy is broad enough
in its scope to present an avenue for
service TO all those workers who are
true Americans and want to line up
in support of the program adopted at
/ Minneapolis.
American Socialists who are dis
tinguished from pro-German Social
lists are invited to affiliate.

Prof. HertzOg Praises
This Perfect Laxdtivf
DIR. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin
an Ideal Remedy for
Constipation.

In every family there is more or less
occasion for a laxative remedy. is to
meet this need that DR.. Caldwell S
Syrup Pepsin IS prepared, and that
this combination Of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin fulfills it's purpose is
proven by it's place in thousands OF
American homes.
Prof f. J. c. HertzoG. the well
known linguist, 2341 North Orianna St.
Philadelphia, Pa. wrote to DIR. Caldwell
that he has used DIR. Caldwelrs Syrup
Pepsin in his household with excellent
results and that he and his family
consider it indeed a friend in need. and
always keep a bottle of it on hand.
Constipation is the direct cause of
much serious illness and Is condition
that should never be neglected. Harsh
cathartics and violent purgatives
should never be employed to relieve
constipation. because the very violence
of their action shocks the entire sys-
TEN. A mild laxative, such as DIR.
Caldwells Syrup Pepsin is far prefer
able, being mild and gentle in its &C
ton, without gripping or other pain or
discomfort; its freedom from all opiate
or narcotic drugs makes 1t an ideal
remedy for children.

A Uniform Lobster Bill
Will Soon Be Presented

1t is stated that a new uniform lobster
bill will soon be presented to the 18TH
Legislature. 1t is understood tina. it will
be drawn after the Massachusetts law,
which allows the legal taking of 9-inch
Holsters. One of the promoters OF the
measure said:
There Is no reason why Maine should
not have the nine-inch law SO as to COM
pete with Massachusetts and Rhode ISL
and. Our legal length requires 100 inches
which is too long. Massachusetts and
Rhode Island fishermen can come into
Maine waters and a Maine lobsterman is
obliged to throw back any fish under thu
lOl-inch length. The out-of-the- te
fishermen then set their traps right
around him and catch the nine-inch
chap Or if a Maine lobster man is 81
inclined to break the law, he can run
to the three-mile limit and sell his nine
inch Holsters for what they'll bring and
they bring good money.
J. ut really works a hardship to the lob
stermen orr this coast and the law should
be uniform. There is no reason why nine
inches should not be held as the required
length in Maine as well as Massachu-
sets and every effort will be put forth
to have such bill passed.
Maine fishermen have it hard enough
as it is. Thousands of Maine Holsters UNI
doubtedly are sold to Massachusetts and
Rhode Island fishermen: of course there
are lobster men who would not violate
the lobster law any more than they
would violate other laws of the State,
and it works a hardship to all of them
The nine-inch law is a good law, while
our law is not practicable-we've tried
II and know and there would be a great
deal better feeling up and down the coast
if we hed the Massachusetts law, and
there would not be half the tendency TO
grab shorts" Do you suppose the east
ern Gamers pay much attention TO the
1O5-inch law? They'll can anything, no
matter what the size is, and there is one
great trouble with the extreme length
this law covers.
81 am satisfied that the nine-inch law
would do more to protect US than the
present law. II the two other states
mentioned had the same law as we nave
that would be all right, but they haven
and the result is that they can buy 100

Workmen's Compensation Act

Amendments to the Yorkmen's compen'

duced at this session Of the Legisia-
ture, was the statement made Tuesday
by interested parties. Cortez P. Smith
of Fairfield, president of the State Fed
Grafton Of Labor and the legislative com
mittee of that order. was asked concern
ing that proposition and said:
ANY such amendments will be strong
ly opposed by the Federation of Labor,
and if they are pushed I shall see that
there is offered an amendment which will
place the insurance for asserting en-
ployers in the hands ON the State.
IT do not believe that the insurance
companies should mix any further in this
matter between the employers and the
employees. Many of the states which have
workmen's compensation acts themselves
handle the insurance part of it and In
such states that method has proved
much more advantageous to the en-
ployes."

President Blake of the Board of
Trustees explained the needs of the
School for the Feeble Minded at Pow
nal, which asks for an appropriation
of $65,0O0 for the year 1917 and $75,-
600 for the year 1918. The increase of
$4,000 for 1918 is on the supposition
that a new dormitory for boys will be
erected.
The institution asks for $4,000 for
1917 and $4,000 for 1918 for a central
heating and power plant and $4,000
for the two years for the equipment of
this plant. There is only one boiler in
the present temporary heating plant
and this boiler heats and lights three
brick buildings and generous power for
pumping the water and running the
laundry. This boiler is already loaded
to it's full capacity and is not able to
take on the new central kitchen and
bakery building which is now under
construction. The brick furnace under
the boiler has to be rebuilt several
times each year and the boiler has to
be shut down for these and other re-
pairs. Each time when the boiler or
boiler furnace has to be repaired the
Institution is left without heat, light
and power until such repairs can be
made.
Mr.. Blake considered the appropria-
ton of $4,000 for 1917 and $4,000 for
1918 for a new dormitory as very i'm
portant. There are now 125 applications
for admission of boys on the waiting
lists, the great majority of these boys
are very urgent cases, some are in the
school age but are not receiving any
educational training; others have Grim
inal tendencies and are a great men
ace to the community and still others
are source of trouble to their fam
lilies especially where there are young
er normal children.
