Chronic Constipation.

Perhaps you have never though
of iof it, but the disorder is due
to lack of moisture in the resi-
dual matter of the food. If you
will drink an.abundance of water,
eat raw fruits and take lots of
outdoor exercise, you may be able
eventually to overcome it entirely
In the meantime use the most
mild and gentle laxatives. Strong
and harsh cathartics take too
much water cut of the system and
make bad matter worse. Cham
berlain's Tablets are easy and
pleasant to take, and most agree
able in effect. Give them trial.

 SUNDAY MOVIES
Wordngmen insouthington Have an Opportunity to Register
 Their Desires on Subject.

Southington, July 11.-According to the new statutes in this state the ques- ton of Sunday night moving picture shows can be determined by local op- ton. A petition for such an election was largely signed i'll Southington and the voters of the borough will have a special election in the Town Hall here on the night of July IS. It is very im- portant that those in favor of this amusement should go to the meeting and cast a ballot. Southington is to have a big celebration with Secretary Baker and other notable guests later but this big event is scarcely attracting more attention than the special election next Tuesday night. As this place Is the home of Governor Holcomb it is up to the citizens to demonstrate to His Excellency their sentiments on the Sum day movies.
 Not many workingmen have baby grand automobiles to ride ill on Sun day evening and it has been shown that the general business in town is helped by this form of entertainment and the educational advantages 10 be derived are incalcll1able A complimentary per- formance is to be given in Coleman s Theater on Monday night, the night be- fore the election. Admission will be by ticket but it will be free. Some excel lent speakers will address the audience and it is hoped to have Cornelius ]. Danaher of Meriden, counsel for the Connecticut Federation of Labor, make some remarks on the subject, as he is especially well qualified to do this and workingmen are always glad to hear the silver-tongued orator of Meriden.

Sullivan ot the State Council of Carpenters tried to settle tEis matter so that the carpenters would do the work but the latest reports from Bristol said that the sheet metal WorKerS were still on the job.

EXPECT STRIKE OF
 CORSET WORKERS
Bridgeport Union Demands In- crease of 20 Per Cent. Wages.
 Meeting There Last Night.

Bridgeport, July LA strike of the corest workers in three big factories here Is expected If the employers do not accede to the demands of the en- p1oyees. Secretary Mary C. Pepper of the Corset Workers Union appeared before the meeting of the Central Labor Union on Wednesday night and said her organization would present demands to employers asking for increased wages. She asked for the support of the central body and it was given.
 Secretary Ira M. Ornburn of the Connecticut Federation of Labor was here on Wednesday and arranged for meeting that was held tonight. Mir. Ornburn went away but returned here for the meeting tonight Plans were formulated at the meeting this evening. The corset workers want 44-hour week, 20 per cent. increase in wages, elimination of charges for thread and penalties for damaged work.
 Three large firms are affected in this matter, the Warner Brothers Company, La Resista Corset Company, and the Crown, Bacheler Company. The War ner Brothers have been advertising for some time for sewing machine operat- ors on corset and brassiere work, good pay ard steady employment guaranteed, light, clean pleasant work, under the best of working conditions"

powerful of the employers organiza- tions in the state made his appearance Ill Meriden and opened an office here. While unostentatious in his activities leaders in the labor movement have come to the conclusion that his mission here is to promote so far as possible a strong anti-union sentiment and to se- cure the letting of contracts to non union firms of painters and building contractors. Constant propaganda and effort against union concerns and union workmen is alleged.
 Attention was particularly called to this situation by the recent award of a contract for painting the Underc1iff Sanitarium, the state tuberculosis hos pita1, to a non-union firm. Inasmuch as Undercliff was practically founded by the Meriden Central Labor Union and has received great support from organ ized labor this award attracted more than ordinary attention and aroused much indignation. Similar awards of other cotracts for state work in other sections has also aroused suspicion that there may be some connection between the alleged non-union propaganda and the apparent tendency to discriminate against organized labor.
 The Undercliff episode, together with many other local instances, convinced the labor leaders of the city and state that the campaign of concerted effort against organized labor which has rather been expected to materialize after the war was making its first ap- pearance in Meriden in this form.
 The situation was discussed by the various local and state organizations and it was decided to accept the chal- lenge and give the antagonistic employ al apparently p rem te seek. Consequently m % the Mer, iden Painters and Decorators Local now has the loyal backing of the Con- necticut Federation of Labor, the State Building Trades Council, the Meriden Central Labor Union and the Meriden Building Trades Council, the four or ganizations under whose auspices the forthcoming mass meeting will be held.

 WANTS AN AGENT
Local No. 4 Will Not Sign Agree ment Until Agent Is Secured.
 Letter to No. 409.

The Painters and Decorators Union, Local 40o, of New Haven, signed a new agreement some time ago. Local No. 4, met on Wednesday night and it was said this local had not signed the agree ment and would not sign until busi- ness agent was secured. It was also said that the employers did not care to sign until a business agent was secured R. Beadle, business agent for 40o, re- signed some time ago as business agent for No. 4.
 It was decided at the meeting to send a notice to No. 40o and notify that or ganization that No. 4 was unable to pay for an agent alone and it is desired to have both unions pay the wages ot an agent. When MT. Beadle resigned from No. 4, it was necessary for No. 4Oo to pay his wages and the dues were in creased SO cents a month to meet the increased outlay.

It will be one of the most momentous meetings ever held in the annals of or ganized labor in the state, both for the importance of the issue involved and by reason of the speakers who will be heard. Among them will be prominent officers of the state and local bodies in volved and the issue will be thoroughly discussed. Every effort will be made to acquaint the public with the effort that is being made to throttle organized labor and to secure for the wage earn CTS the right to protect their welfare through organization and collective bar gaining, now recognized throughout the world as. the only solution of the industrial problem and the safeguard against the revolutionary excesses of Bolshevism and anarchy.

which have been made evident in this situation are believed to be those which will be used in every city in the state whenever a situation ariess giving op- portunity to fight trade unionism.
 The prompt and vigorous response of the state labor organizations, however, indicates that the employers will meet with stout resistance wherever, they take hand and that no local unions will be left to fight their battles alone. It will be fight between the state or ganizations of both sides and organized labor was never in better condition to put up winning fight than at present.
 That the mass meeting will be an overflow affair goes without saying. Members of organized labor are thor
