gained by my seeing you personally
until you have accepted and acted
upon that principle 1t is the duty
of the government to see that the
best possible conditions of labor are
maintained, as it is also its duty TO
see that there is no lawless and con-
scienceless profiteering and that duty
the government has accepted and will
perform. viii you cooperate or will
you obstruct?
WOODROW WILSON,
Unions Refuse support.
The fact that other union heads are
refusing to support Hutcheson's pos
ition and fear his attitude may put
labor generally in a false light en-
courages shipping board officials to
believe the carpenters, who are out
in the New York district and at Bal
timore, will return to work even if
Hutcheson does not direct them TO
do so. Carpenters locals in other
districts are dealing direct with the
adjustment board and those at Bal
timore have been given the privilege
OF acceptance of the new Delaware
river wage award announced last
night, which grants a substantial in
crease in wages.
Leave Claims to Board.
All trades in the New York dist
trct except the carpenters have
agreed to leave settlement of their
claims to the adjustment board
Their demands will be taken up
within the next week
In reproving Hutcheson for declin-
ing arbitration of differences with
shipyard arrangements, President
Wilson, it was declared tonight, has
the whole hearted support of ma
jority of the heads of American la
hor unions. Union heads, it is de.
clared on authority, are as eager as
are government officials to arrive a.
some arrangement whereby differ

There is more Catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and for years
it was supposed to be incurable.
Doctors prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incur
able. Catarrh is a local disease,
greatly influenced by constitutional
conditions and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Medicine, manufactured by F..
j. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is a
constitutional remedy, is taken inter-
nally and acts through the blood on
the mucous surfaces of the system.
One hundred dollars rewards offered
for any case that Halls Catarrh Med
icine fails to cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials.

MEXICO AND UNITED STATES

The friction between the United
States and Mexico, which had threat
ened for two years or more to result
In open warfare, began to disappear
early in 1917 and when the atten-
ton of the people Of the United States
vas focused upon more important
matters by the entrance Of the
United States into the world war, the
Mexican "~crisis" faded from the public
view.
Despite the failure Of negotiations
with the Carranza government Presi-
dent Wilson ordered the withdrawal Of
the American troops from Mexico and
on February 3, General Pershing and
his troops marched out Of Mexico af-
ter having been in that country almost
q year.
On March II, General Carranza was
formally elected president of Mexico.
From this time on conditions In Mexi-
co became more tranquil and there
were evidences that President Carran-
"a was succeeding In restoring order
In the republic. 1t was not until late
In the year that villa again became ac-
tive. On November 10, troops led by
Villas aids, captured Ojlnaga, on the
American border, after a hard fight.
Several hundred Carranza soldiers fled
across the border and were interned
In the United States.
