PLAIN QUESTIONS TO NEW
BRITAIN PEOPLE
Every New Britain Reader Will Adj
nit the Soundness OF the Logic,

Would New Britain people recon-
mond Doan's Kidney Pills as they do
ii the medicine were not reliable?
Would they confirm their statements
after years have elapsed if their ex-
perienceS did not show the remedy to
be deserving OF it? Statements like
the following must carry conviction to
the mind OF every reader:
Mrs. A. w. Plumb, 81 Elm St, New
Britain, gave the following account of
her experience with Doan's Kidney
Pills on April II, 1916: Pains across
my back and in my Observation-Disclosures
caused me considerable annoyance IF
seems [ am bothered more or less bv
my kidneys during the winter months
and at such times my kidneys become
IRREGULAR in action. In such eases
Doans have always corrected +bis
trouble. I consider them a very GOOD
remedy and worthy of Recommended

THAT CONFERENCE
OF GOVERNORS AND
MAYORS A HOT ONE

WASHINGTON, March Dds
satisfaction of Western delegates
over failure of the Conference Of
Governors and Mayors to take def
mite action toward relieving unem-
ployment, which mad been in evil
dence since yesterday, eliminated
today in a row, during which Sec
rotary Houston left the hall.
Mayor Rolph, of San Francisco,
who criticised Congress yesterday
precipitated the trouble by submit
ting a resolution which demanded
that President Wilson Immediately
reconvene Congress, and in his mes
sage demand passage of important
Legislation which failed with the
adjournment yesterday.
with all due respect to the gem
tlemen who have addressed us,
Mayor Rolph said, they have not
told us q word that we didn't al
ready know. We have travelled B.
600 miles not to hear that every
American ought to own a home or
that good roads ought to be built,
but to find out how the poor Amer
lean hero, begging on the streets

situation is right here in Washing

going to be done"

Threats of Hanging

again and again they told me
they would hang my husband. They
seemed to delight in the repetition.
And when | laughed, Brennan cried
out, Yes, you've been making
bombs yourself for the last six
months. That was too absurd, and
| laughed again"
Absurd it seemed in the presence
of the clear eyed, intelligent wife
the level headed, far seeing la
Dor leader.
Both Mrs. Nolan and her hus-
band are we'll poised and quiet in
manner. There is nothing "red''
in their viewpoint. Nolan is the last
person whom one would suspect of
fanaticism. He is thinker and has
surprising gift of natural elo-
quence. His influence over his fell
low workers was undisputed. This
probably made him a dangerous
man, one ready to step into the
braech made by the arrest of Moo
ney.
81 have never believed that the
world could be reformed from
without" Nolan said. petty vio-
lence does not bring permanent i'm
provement. 1t is but means of
awakening interest in a grevious
situation. We must work from the
mind out. We must improve the
understanding of men. We must
make them ready through educa-
ton for the better world to come.

man could have hurled the bomb
that took the lives of ten people

Heavy Toll of Woman

The arrest and the terrible days
that followed it took heavy toll
from Mrs. Nolan. 1t was she who
worked from morning till night,
running down every clew, collect
ing dozens of pictures and yards of
film which were later used in the
trial 1t was she who, with Mrs.
Belle Hammerberg, sister of Mrs,
Rena Mooney, secured the city and
Oakland and Berkeley for evidence
to refute the charges brought
against her husband.
1t was they who spoke before the
laboring classes in every walk of
life, bringing champions to the
cause. Never in those nine months
was there an hour of peace or rest.
Then when her mission was occom-
plished, and Nolan released from
the jail in the Hall of Justice, she
collapsed, broken in health, but not
in spirit.
"If we could forget it, but we
can not earnest brown eyes look
ed straight ahead, troubled but
fearless. you can have no idea of
the terrible effect which their
fathers Imprisonment made on the
children. The boy is 10 and the
girl 6. They do understand and the
boy actually suffers every time the
name of Tom Mooney is mentioned.
He does not want to be connected
with the case But we can not dis
miss it"
at is bigger than our inter
est" Nolan said. at is as big as
the interest of freedom and the ma
ton. Just now San Francisco
wants a semi-crooked administra-
tion which pays due tribute to in
fluence, money and politics. But
that day has a short tenure"
That day still maintains its
power. The prosecution whose aim
was conviction, not justice, yester-
day admitted the collapse of its
case.
Perhaps the new day will bring
also Free Justice-justice which
looks both ways and is as willing
to defend as to prosecute-justice
which seeks all the facts and asks
not conviction but truth.

is not the hysterical type to be
brow-beaten to tears or hysteria.
"But knew it would alarm the
children. They were making such
a noise. They kept on saying the
same things over again. They kept
walking back and forth and shak-
ing their fists at me and telling
me to confess. Then Ed came home

ASSERTS LABOR is
NOT A COMMODITY

LONDON, England, March s.
Labor is not a commodity and it de-
mauds that it shall become real
partners in industry, is the decla-
ration of the Triple Alliance, con-
sisting of the unions of railway
workers, miners and transport
workers.
The statement was made by
James H. Thomas, member of Par
lament and General Secretary Ma
tional Union of Railway Men of
Great Britain and ireland, at a con
ference of employers and employ
ees.
The trade unionist said he was
deputed to make the following OBJ
servation for the Triple Alliance:
THE organized workers of Great
Britain have made up their minds
to obtain for themselves an increas-
ing share of the wealth which their
labor has produced and produces
The workers of the three-fold or
ganization are determined to short
en- materially the hours of labor in
their respective industries. They
are dissatisfied with the system of
society which treats their labor
power as a mere commodity to be
bought, sold and used as though
they were machine-like units in the
process of wealth production and
distribution, and they therefore de-
mand that they shall become real
partners in industry, jointly shar-
ing in determining conditions and
management"

ton, and no child may be employ
ed In any occupation deemed by
the State Commissioners of Health,
Labor and Schools dangerous to
life or limb or injurious in health

permit. No child under 16 may

old law simply provided that q
child be able to read and write
simple sentences in the English
language.
