Appear That All Members Favor
Tearing Down Process

New York. July 1S.-James p.
Holland, president Of the New York
State Federation OF Labor. testifying
today before the joint legislative

seditious activities in this state. de-
clared that the I. w. W. had organ
lied many thousands OF workers

calling for the destruction Of the

powerful Of the radical organiza-
tions, Mr.. Holland asserted, was the
Amalgamated Garment Workers OF
America. with membership which
he estimated at 10000.
As an evidence OF the wide sweep.
ing plans Of the I. W. W.. leaders
were read into the testimony, in
which I. w. w. leaders urged Euro
pean and South American workers
to join in scheme for an "interna-
tional Revolutionary industrial un-
ion." One Of the most ambitious
projects was the Organization Of the
marine workers OF the two Americas
and the maritime European coun-
tries into zone big union"
The most fruitful field found by
the radicals in this country, accord
ing to Mr.. Holland, has been the gar
ment industry. the second greatest
industry In the United States.
Asked what were the principles OF
the organization formed by the I.
w. W. among the garment workers.
Mr.. Holland replied: a
They don't believe in govern
ment. They preached that behind
closed doors and now some of them
preach It out Of DOORS"
The witness was then asked II II
ever had been brought to his atten-
tion that the Ama1gamated Garment
Workers favored a soviet form OF
government.
1T has not only been brought to
my attention. but It has been ram
med down by throat" replied Mr..
Holland.~ But the majority Of the
workngmen and women are Ameri-
cans first and not soviets. as some
would have us believe"

when finished. the highway from

like destroying Niagara Falls or

tected and some means TO secure
their preservation must be found. II
Ia hardly likely that an appropria-
tion can be secured for the purpose
from the government - although
such an attempt may be made--and
Il IL probable that we will have to
resort TO popular subscriptions.
But little OF this great forest Is
within the forest reserve and the
land Is mainly owned by private par
ties, Why" and the head Of the

Il had taken every kind of medicine
I could hear of without getting the
least benefit, when a friend of mine
who had been taking Tanlac with
good results advised me to give it a
trial. Well, 1 had not taken half a
bottle when I noticed I was being
troubled less and less with gas and
my appetite began to improve, until
now, after taking only three bottles,
my appetite is simply fine and I can
eat anything want without suffering
any bad after effects. I am not trou-
bled with gas and my heart has
stopped palpitating, and 1 never have
that heavy feeling in the pit of my
stomach after eating. I am never
bothered with constipation or those
dizzy spells and have regained all my
lost strength and always feel fine and
full of energy. I am SO pleased with
what Tanlac has done for me 1 am
