PROF|TEERS ARE BLAMED FOR THE UNREST OF LABOR Secretary of Labor Lands with a Smash Upon the
 Unpatriotic Men
 of Industry. EXTORTION SHOWN UP Government Investigation Shows Labor Justified
 in Demanding Big
 Wage Incrase.
.ExTORTION SHOWN UP

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 20.-Sec- retary of Labor William Bauchop Wilson, addressing the Business Mems War convention said that the unpatriotic business men seeking ex- cessive profits was blamable for the spirit of unrest among the work men of the United States.
 Secretary Wilson said that labor was restless because the word had gone forth that the iron and steel men were making from two to four hundred per cent. and the shipping, mining and other great industries were getting excessive profits.
 This feeling on the part of labor had justified the government inves- tigation.
 The coal industry in the east showed the operators had extOrted from $5 to $6 for coal costing them but $1.50.
 This is no time to insist on prof iteering as many business men here have been doing. There should be no swag to divide between capital and labor" concluded the Secre- tary.

EDITOR THE TINES:

EDITOR THE TIMES:
In reply to Workingman's state
ment made in your issue OF Feb.
20, regarding War With Germany,
will say that no sane man wants
war, but the majority of the
workingmen of today want all
the liberty and freedom and pro-
lection that this government can
bestow upon them, but they are
never ready to exert themselves to
help gain this glory. They want
the other fellow to gain the glory
and make their living, too.
l am a workingman and stand
for conviction and am ready to
fight at any minute against the
cause that confronts our country
at this critical moment, and the
workingman that says he has got
nothing and never expects to have
anything, | don't think he is even
good workingman, let alone a
good citizen, and would suggest
that he he deported to some place
where he would have a country
of his own.
Thanking you very kindly.

See how proudly
That old Banner does wave,
In the breezes that kiss her
Ger the land or the sea.
Think of the treasure
Our forefathers gave
That we, their children, might
ever be free.
Treasures of wealth,
or their blood and their lives,
Bidding farewell to home, chill
dren and wives.
Off to the struggle
On land or on sea,
They fought for their country
Where men should be free.
Well may we be proud
OF the Banner they bore,
AS they drove the oppressor
For ere, from the shore.
Long, long, let her wave
Ger this land of the free,
Ger the land, our home,
That our fathers made free.
Let her wave Ger the children

America shall never be conquered

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the
substitute for calomel-are a mild but
sure laxative, and their effect on the
liver is almost instantaneous. They
are the result of DIR. Edwards deter
mination not to treat liver and bowel
complaints with calomel. His efforts
to Danish it brought out these little
olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no
bad after effects. They don't injure
the teeth like strong liquids or calo-
mel. They take hold of the trouble
and quickly correct it. Why cure the
liver at the expense of the teeth
Ca1omel sometimes plays havoc with

And the short party-dress OF
sulphur-yellow silk, gathered at
the bottom like a work-bag, and
with a single huge green and pur-
