WEST SIDE SILK
 MILL WEAvERs STRIKE. Operatives Claim They Are Not Re- ceiving a Living Wage.

A strike of the weayers of the West Side silk mill has been in progress since last Thursday, whea about 60 of the 70 employei there walked out after dema nding an increase of wages The strikers say that they have been get ting paid five and One-half to six cents a yard for their work and that they demand one cent for every 10 picks or what would amount to about eight nine cents yard. The strikers say that they are not paid a living wage at the present high cost of living.
 At meeting of the strikers held at II o'clock on Thursday mnrning they decided that they would remain out until the company gave in to theH.. Some of the strikers, s evidence of the low pay which they claim they are getting. showed pay envelopes the amounts of which ranged from s7 x' SIP, according to the number of looms which each" operative had under his c6re.
 Morris E. Bergstresser superinten- dem. of. the concern. stated Thursday evening. when asked about the situa- tion, that the strikers came to him early in the week and demanded the raise. MT. Bergstresser told them lie was not able to grant their demands but would take the matter to the headquarters of the company ill New York. He further stated that the op- eratives agreed to wait until his re-
  stresser left immediately for New York, where ne was in conference with the heads of the concern. When he returned to the city he found that the weavers had gone on a strike without waiting to hear. what was done in New York. MT. gstresser says that the company granted a raise of one to one and a half cents per yard on some of the work, but this was turned down by the strikers. In regard to the av- craze wage paid to the weavers, Mir. Bergstrasser states that while some, of course, are not earning $20 a week, the majority of the weavers will pull down as much S20 to $22. all de- pending on their skill. He says that it is only the beginners that are earn ing as low as S7, and that as they become experienced they will receive more pay.
 The wages in various other depart ments of the mill have IN sn voluntari- ly increased by the company and ev- eryone seems sa tisfed with the excep- tiOn of the weavers.

Tell Your Wife
 Corns Lift Off Doesn't hurt a bIt to lift eorns or 'eaIIuses of with fingers.

Not a twinge of pain or soreness before applying, or afterwards. This may sound like a dream to corn-pestered men and women who have been cut ting, filing and wearing torturous plasters. Yes! corns lift out and calluses peel off as if by magic.
 A small bottle of free- zone costs but a few cents at any drug store. Apply a few drops directly upon your tender corn or callus, and instantly the soreness disappears; then shortly the corn or cal1us will be so loose that 1t lifts off.
 Freezone dries instantly. It doesn't eat out the corn or callus, but just shriyels it up so it lifts away without even irritating t h @ surrounding skin. Women should keep a tiny bottle handy on the dresser and never let a corn or calIus ache twice.
