POWERFUL PILE
REMEDY DISCOVERED
Has Never Failed to End Most Obstinate
Case of Piles in Few Days.

For years it has been proven that so-called
external remedies applied to or inserted in
only give temporary relief. Surgical oper
atoms also do not remove this cause, but
simply the formation
This wonderful prescription, known as Miro
Pile Remedy is so efficient in the treat
ment of piles, that even chronic cases of from
20 to 80 years standing with profuse bleeding
have been completely cured in from three to
ten days. Think of It'll just few doses OF
carefully balanced prescription and the
most persistent of piles is absorbed,
never to return.
All pharmacists dispense Miro or can get
it for you short notice. Surely it's worth
the little trouble to obtain it to be rid of
piles forever
1MPORTANT-Wha is known itching
piles are not piles in the true of the
word, although this condition may accompany
true case of piles. For this condition Miro
Pile Ointment has been prepared as IN such
cases it is not necessary to take the internal
prescription.

Good Advice.
Rutland NeMs.l

The Brattleboro Reformer advises the
young man who wants to become farm
er to hire out to a good farmer and learn
the business in a practical way. This is
mighty good advice, but it is so obvious
that it hardly seems necessary to give it.
Farming, like great many other trades,
can better be learned by doing the act
ual work under competent instruction
than it can by course in correspond
ence school

PROTEST AGAINST STATE GIVING OUT
 OPEN SHOP WORK
Connecticut Federation of Labor to Take Matter Up With Vari-
 ous Boards Making Contracts.
DISCRIMINATION CHARGED
New Executive Council Holds First Session-Permanent Office
 Shared by Building Trades.

The executive council of the Connec- ticut Federation of Labor held its first meeting following the recent conven- ton Sunday at New Haven Trades Council hall. The entire board was present and various matters which were referred to the council by the conven- ton were considered.
 The session opened with the execu- tive council of the State Building Trades Council i'll attendance for the of the establishment of a joint office for the two bodies Plans were discussed and an estimate of the cost given. It is the intention to open an office i'll New Haven at which a clerk will be in constant attendance tC answer inquiries and take care of the routine work. The value of such an office Is at once apparent and with the expense divided between the two organizations the cost would not be prohibitive. A committee to make final arrangements was appointed consisting of President O'Meara and Secretary Ornburn of the Connecticut Federation of Labor and President Frank Fitzgerald and Secre- tary Charles Mulholland of the State Building Trades Council.
 The tendency of state boards to award all building contracts to non-unlon or out of the state concerns came up for discussion upon the report that the State Tuberculosis Commission had awarded its latest contract to an open shop firm. It was voted that the sec retary should communicate with the secretaries of these various boards in regard to this apparent discrimination against organized labor.

Joseph Pergola, Vice President of Watch and Clock Work
 CTS Union, Is Selected.

At a special meeting of the Watch and Clock Workers Union of New Ha- ven, Local 46, affiliated with the Inter national Jewelry Workers Union, Joseph Pergola was named as organizer for the Local. At present he is author ized to operate in New Haven only but 1t is expected that the International organization will give him jurisdiction throughout the state so that he can work among the watch and clock makers in Waterbury, Bristol, Winsted and other places in Connecticut. MT. Per gola has been very active i'll the New Haven union and is largely responsible for its success. All the members are employed at the shor of the New Haven Clock Company. A part of this shop was shut down for three days this week and other parts were closed the entire week for inventory. The factory will reopen i'll all departments on Mon day. MT. Pergola looked the situation over in Waterbury during the week as spectator only. He does not believe that the Waterbury Workers Union will succeed as there is nothing to back it Up and he said the men would be bet ter off if they were organized by Amer ican Federation of Labor men.

SULLIVAN 1s%sUsY. Putting Life Into Carpenters Union in MiddletOwn.

Middletown, July 4.-President w. J. Sullivan of the State Council. Brother hood of Carpenters and Joiners, has been devoting considerable time to boosting the membership of the Middle town Local of carpenters. The mem bership has been sagging but President Sullivan has plugged up the weak spots and the organization is, rapidly climbing upward. After launching the Ship wright's Union in New London on Mon day night under very favorable aus pices, President Sullivan arranged for an open meeting of the carpenters here for Tuesday night. This was a great success. President Sullivan was to have been the principal speaker at this meet ing but was obliged to go to Bristol to straighten out a difficulty, which he diagnosed as jurisdictional dispute when spoke nto about the matter by the correspondent of The Connecticut La bor Press. It seems that the Sheet Metal Workers Union and the Car penters' Union in Bristol have been at loggerheads in regard to certain work, each claiming the right of way.

 Mr. Gompers said labor would or ganize throughout the country in order that it might voice its protest against the suppression of the liberties of the people.
 it cannot help but arouse the an tagonism of the people" he declared, to find that now that the wa ris won, they do not enjoy even as much liberty as they did before going through the tolls and hardships of the war;
