times and which they can freely use
whenever they decide to do so to build
up and extend the organizations of the
workers of the union label.
There are two methods by which we
can extend the purchase of union made
goods, one is through the education of
the workers themselves to understand
what it means to buy union made goods
whenever they can and what it means
to them as trade mionists and to the
labor movement when they buy non
union articles.
"a man who acts Ike a union man

benefited directly by so doing, and when
he is acting as an employer because

he is doing when he does that, he is a

He is more contemplate than the most
avowed enemy of the labor movement,
for at least they have the saving grace
of being consistent They don't cut the
throat of the labor movement while
carrying a union card in their pockets
and posing as union men.
"A union man or woman who carries

represented Vermont in the past 20 years
insofar as the welfare of the workers is
concerned. 1t was indeed no fault of
some of our legislators that even our
present labor laws were allowed to re-
main on the statute books. It took con-
siderable of the time, money and pa
thence of labor's representatives to con-
vey to those reactionaries that they were
playing with fire and that any work I'M
done by them would help to stir the
flames of unrest which had been held in
allegiance during the war period.
True, we had few friends who rec
ognized the fact that we deserved as
much attention as cattle, pigs and fish,
but look over your improved laws and
you will find that outside of $4,000 vot-
ed to INDECENT tuberculosis patients and
$4,000 to hospitals, $4,000 has been set
aside to carry out the work of the com
missioner of industries for the next two
years. Hence it does not take a person
to be gifted with much foresight to see
that the workmen's compensation and
factory inspection departments will func-
tion only in proportion to the appropria-
ton provided by the legislature. The
child labor law was attacked and those
interested in the exploitation of their
little bodies succeeded in amending the
present law so that canning companies
of Vermont could can round dollars out
of their labor. They could never get
a Governor Graham to sign such bill as

moving dust has been referred to the

at least remove this great evil and go
further than the state board of health
did some years ago when they told us
to fight out the problem with the manu-
facturers.
Attempts were made to amend the
workmen's compensation act so that
general inerese in the specific rates could
be brought about. These were met and
defeated through the efforts of the man

REBELS AT JUAREz;
U. S. TROOPS MOVE
Angeles Forces at Gates Of
Mexican City.

Juarez, Mexico, June 13.-The ad-
vance forces of General Felipe Ange-
les are moving in on Juarez by way
of the Rio Grande river.
Everyone in the city was moving
to safer quarters. The word went
down Avenida Commercio, the main
business district, that "they are COM
ing" some even so close as two miles.
When General Francisco Gonzales,
the Jaurez commander, and Colonel
]. Gonzales Escobar, next in command,
received the news there was intense
activity among the federal troops and
their officers.
1t is reported over 1000 men are be-
tween two and four miles from Juarez.
General Angeles knows the strength
of the Juarez garrison and its fortifi-
cations.
1t is believed Angeles forces will not
attempt an attack until night unless
the federals move out.
Five hundred federal cavalrymen
were sent east and all officers Of the
arms ready for duty. Shortly after
midnight, American customs officers
reported having heard few scatter
ed shots, but whether these were sig
nails of outposts of mere accidental
discharges could not be ascertained
Many civilians have moved across
the river to Ell Paso, Texas. Most Of
those remaining appear to have pro-
vided themselves with firearms.
In skirmish between federals and
advance forces of General Angeles, a
few miles east of Juarez, some fed
erals are reported to have been killed.
The federals were picked off by snip
ers.
Reliable information is that unarm-
ed Villa and Angeles men have been
trickling into Juarez.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure catarr-
hal deafness, and that is by const1-
tutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness
is caused by an inf1amed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inf1amed
you have a runbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing. and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result.
Unless the Inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever. Many cases of deaf
ness are caused by catarrh, which is
an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medicine
acts thru the blood on the mucous
surfaces of the system.
