LABOR UNIONS Ask
WILSON TO INTERVENE
In Behalf of Thomas ]. Mooney, Under
Sentence Of Death, That He May
Have a New Trial.

Washington, d. c., Aug. IA com
mittee representing international labor
unions called at the White House yester-
day and left memorial asking President
Wilson TO intervene again in behalf of
Thomas J. Mooney, under sentence Of
death in California for connection with
the preparedness day parade bomb ex-
plosion in San Francisco in July, 1915.
The memorial says
"While it is true that the courts Of
California have declared themselves with
out power TO disturb the present judg-
ment of conviction, a new trial can, new
ertheless, be obtained without in any
way straining or disturbing the ordinary
law Of the state. The governor can Oh.
tain from Thomas j. Mooney and his at
torneys a written stipulation that he
win not plead his present conviction in
bar. The governor with that stipulation
in his possession can pardon Mooney and
direct that he be prosecuted Immediately
on one of the eight or nine other indict
ments which charge him with RESPONSE
bility for deaths caused by the same ex-
plosion, and thus give Mooney a new day
in court with an opportunity to prove
his innocence"
Such suggestion from the president,
the memorial urges, it is hardly eonceiv-
able that the governor of California
would hesitate to adopt. In the event
of refusal, the president is urged to
compel Moneys release as war meas
ure under authority of his power as com
mander-in- chief. MONEYS execution, the
memorial declares, would be serious
obstacle to fulfillment of the presidents
plans for aiding the Russian people.

Chicago, Aug Ia. - Sabotage was de-
fined as the biggest, strongest and most
wholesale weapon of the working class,
by William D. Haywood, general secre.
tary and treasurer Of the J. w W., at
yesterdays session of the trial of 100
leaders of the organization, charged with
violations Of the espionage act.
He said sabotage as praeticed by the

ardly weapon which could only be used
in the dark" as the attorneys for the
government contended.
eve believe in using sabotage to pro-
teet humanity, and it is an effective
means of accomplishing this desired re-
suit" said Haywood. 1T prevents dis
honest employers from adulterating food
products, cloth and other necessities of
life. My opinion is that sabotage, ac-
cording to my definition of it, must be
used by the workers If the capitalistic
class is TO be put out Of business
Haywood accused New York capitalists
Of controlling she press. He said at
first it was planned 70 obtain possession
of $50 of the big dailies, but that it was
found that 25 newspapers were all that
we're necessary TO dominate public opin-
ion.

Poultry campaign Beara Fruit.

More eggs were received at New York
during the first half of this year than
during the first six months of any previ-
Gus year since 1911. From Jan. to July
| the receipts of eggs at New York
amounted to 3,ll2,305 cases, an average
increase of s0,9l3 cases over the first six
months of the seven preceding years.
Taking New York receipts as an indica
ton of the production throughout the
United States, this shows that the cam
paign started last fall by poultry special
lists of the United States department of
agriculture is already bearing fruit. If
the advice given in this campaign is
widely followed, say the department spe-
cialists, there should be very consider
able increase in the stock of laying hens
in the country next winter There should
also be very marked increase in the
receipt of fresh eggs at the leading mar
kets in January and February. This,
with the better results which it is be-
lieved will be secured by this years OK.

HOG PRICES STILL HIGHER.
Advance Of Half Cent Made at Brigh

Brighton, Mass, Aug. l4--Hogs have
advanced further, half cent being add
ed to the price Of both live and dressed
hogs during the past week Buyers say
that they are expecting lower prices, as
western markets were a little easier
Monday, but the small kill indicates a
shortening Of supplies. Some choice hogs

emily are satisfied that this is a good

AMERICANS
KNOW A
GOOD THING
Trust the People to Find Out
What Is Good for Them

All over the country folks are learning
that after the long, hard winters pull,
lack of green food and fresh air, they are
usually run down, have no appetite, are
nervous and in bad shape generally.
Spring to them is a season to be dread
ed, their thin, watery, poisoned, clogged
blood and weak nerves rob them Of all
ambition or desire to work and takes the
pleasure out of life.
For such men mad women doctors are
recommending Phosphated Iron, which
goes to the very root Of all blood impuri-
ties and nervous troubles. They claim it
helps purify the blood by making it over
anew, while the way il relieves tired,
fagged-out nerves is almost too good to
be true.
The confidence that the Americna PEG.
pie and prominent doctors have shown in
Phosphated Iron, while remarkable. is
not surprising, as it is one of those hon
est preparations that never disappoint.
As a man said in recommending to his
neighbor, Its results that count, and
you can bank on Phosphated Iron. 1t is
the goods" Everyone that tries it is a
booster 1t sure did put me on my feet
when / was almost down and out"
Every man, woman and child that has
thin, watery, impure blood, no strength
or appetite, weak nerves, and is all played
out generally, can come back strong, be a
live one once again, enjoy restful sleep
and get up facing the world with a smile
| if they will try Phosphated Iron, the red
blood and nerve builder.
To insure physicians and their patients
getting the genuine Phosphated Iron, we
have put in capsules only. Do not take
pills or tablets. Insist on capsules.
