of the message had not been decided

This was Immediately delivered

Clemenceau.

4-H0UR WORK
DAY PLEDGED
BY LABOR BODY

hour day means 4S hours OF labor
per week. Because of the changed
conditions brought about by the
war, a number of industries have
been able already to introduce the
44-hour week, continuing the eight
hour day with a half holiday on
Saturday.
"Only IL years ago, the Interna-
tional Typographical union expend-
ed more than 100000 in securing
for its members the 48-hour week
in the printing industry. Now that
! Organization is negotiating for and
will probably receive the 44-hour
week through conciliatioD and with
out the expenditure of money.
THE garment working trades
have succeeded in securing the a.
hour week. Other industries have
done or are doing likewise. We
believe it will be but a short time
till the eight-hour day with a han
holiday on Saturday, meaning a a.
hour week, will be the universal
hours Of labor and adopted in all
industries.
Should Go Even Further.
while this is most desirable and
the executive council has used all
available power to assist in bring
ing about a 44-hour work week in
all crafts, this convention should 60
even further than this.
There is at the present time a
large volume of unrest among the
workingmen on this continent.
There can be no doubt that there
are two reasons for this unusual
condition-hrst, the high cost of the
necessities of life; second, unem-
ployment.
Until wages are so adjusted that
the earnings of labor will buy the
same amount of the necessities Of
life that could be purchased by the
earnings previously to the war, this
unrestful exhibit by the working
people has a foundation for its ex-
istence that cannot be set aside.
Previous to the war, the dollar
earned by labor would buy a certain
amount of certain quality of food
and clothing, but it will not buy the
same amount that the dollar. earned
previous to the war, would buy. Un-
til this gap is bridged and the wages
increased so that the same amount
of the same quality of goods can be
bought with the dollar of today as
was possible before the war, the
condition of the laborer will be less

Doctor Tells How to Detect
Harmful Effects af Tobacco
Try These SIMPLE TESTS

New York: Doctor Conner, formerly of
Johns Hopkins hospital. says: Many
men who smoke, chew or snuff incessant-
ly and who are seemingly healthy are
suffering from progressive organic all
ments. Thousands of them would never
have been afflicted had it not been for the
use of tobacco, and thousands would soon
get well II they would only stop the use
# tobacco. The chief habit forming prin-
ciple of tobacco is nicotine a deadly poi
son which, when absorbed by the system
slowly affects the nerves, mem branes, It's
sues and vital organs of the body. The
harmful effect of tobacco varies and de-
Ponds on circumstances. One will be
afflicted with general debility, others with
catarrh Of the throat, indigestion, con-
stipation, extreme nervousness, sleepless :.
ness, loss of memory, lack of will power,
mental confusion, etc. Others may suffer
from heart disease. bronchial trouble,
hardening of the arteries, tuberculosis,
blindness or even cancer or the common
affection known as tobacco heart. If you
use tobacco in any form you can easily
detect the harmful effects by making the
following simple tests. Read aloud one
full page from book. If, in the course
OF reading your voice becomes muffled,
hoarse and indistinct and you must fire.
quently clear your throat, the chances are
that your throat is affected BY catarrh
