DeafnessCannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tschian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever,
nine cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an inhamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One HundredD Dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send fro circular, free.

German labor Not Vet Normal

According to official reports, the
intensity of labor in Germany has In
creased somewhat 1t is still very
small, however. Some interesting data
on the subject are given In the latest
annual report OF the Rheinische Stahl-
werke. In times of peace this steel
concern had production of 100000
tons of steel, and its figures are there
fore, worthy of note. The average
production per workman was 1928
metric tons per year before the war,
while the output for the period ex-
tending from November, 1918, to June,
1919, indicates an average annual pro-
duction of only 81 tons per workman.
The expenditure for wages alone av-
eraged 1851 marks per ton of steel
before the war, but it reached 116
marks during the eight months end
ing June 80, 1919.

Labor Urged to Form Party.

An appeal to the labor unions and
"the workers of America" to unite for
political action. not as third party,
but on the basis of the Nonpartisan
leagues in North Dakota and Mime
sofa, was issued at New York by the
Social Democratic League Of Ameri-
ca. The appeal Is signed by Charles
Edward Russell, president; Henry L.
Slobedin, vice president; William Eng
lish Walling, secretary, and ]. G.
Phelps Stokes, treasurer.

Tasmania and One Bio Union.

For considerable time the move
ment In the mainland states of Aus
tralia, for the formation of One Big
Union of Labor In the commonwealth,
has been before the various trades
unions of Tasmania for consideration.
1t Is regarded as certain that ii will
be turned down by large majority.
IT viii be remembered that at the re-
cent annual conference Of delegates
from the Tasmanian branches of the
Australian Labor party, a resolution
to indOrse the One Big Union plan of
organization was defeated, and this is
taken to represent the majority view
of the various trades unions in Tas-
mania. The unions seem no more
disposed to give up control of indus
trial affairs to an organization To-
Gated in the big cities of Australia,
than are the states themselves to bar
ter away state rights to the common
wealth government.

Next Phase Of Trade Unionism.

Mr. Bromley, secretary of the Brit
ish Society of Locomotive Engineers
and Firemen, in a recent speech said
that the next phase of labor unionism
was to begin to take share in the
management of industries. The rail-
way men, he said, were already branch
ing out in this direction. The object
Of the railway men was to obtain
full share in the management OF their
industry, preferably with the state. If
the rest Of the people said they did
not care whether the railways were ma
tonalized or not, then unfortunately
the railway mems share would be with
the capitalist employer. The trade
union movement, Mr.. Bromley declared,
would go forward from strength to
strength until other work people were
ready to manage their industries on be-
half Of the nation and not of the capi-
talist.

Years Strike Loss.

This has been a strike year extraor-
binary. Strikes have been so numer-
Gus that the record score is confused.
The strikes, many and various, have
entailed a loss which cannot be com
puted with exactness, but which, ac-
cording to the calculation made by the
New York Sun from the unofficial fig
ures obtained from the various states,
foots up to the enormous total OF three
billions Of dollars. The Sun, in arriv-
ing at It's estimate, does not cOnfine the
inquiry to the strike centers, bur bases
the calculation upon the demoraliza-
ton of industrialiSm broadly and gen.
orally. The loss resulting from the
coal strike ramified into every one Of
the 48 states. So, also the steel strike.

CANADIAN LABOR
SEEKS REFORMS
Many Ideas Advanced at Annual
Conference With the Gov
ernment.
MINIMUM WAGE IS SOUGHT
Also the Establishment of Eight. Hour
Day and Maximum Work Week Of
Forty-Four Hours-Want Bonus Sys-
tenn Absolutely Abolished.

Organized Canadian labor in the per-
son Of the executive of the Canadian
Trades and Labor council had its an
nual conference with the government
recently. At this meeting the laborites
presented q memorandum containing
number of requests on which they
asked legislation. Chief amongst these
was an eight-hOur day and a maxi
mum work week of A hours, and also
the establishment Of q minimum wage
to be sufficient to allow fair stand
ard of living being possible. Amongst
the recommendations presented were
the following:
]. The appointment of a represent
ative of the organized workers along
with others on q central umpire board.
2. The necessity Of revision Of the
present method of admittance of ORR
entails, by either total exclusion or in
ternatiOnal arrangement, limiting the
number to one per thousand of the
population. 3. The elimination of any
system whatever of bonuSing for the
introduction of industrial workers.
The delegation also urged that steps
should be taken for the reduction Of
Canada's military establishment;
amendments to the criminal code, es-
pecially in regard TO being in posses
sion of certain literature; the com
plete revision of the Industrial dispute
act; amendments to the election act
looking toward proportional represent
alton; and the declaring of public hOl
idays for election days. There were
tons by the delegation and at the con-
cluSion of the conference it was stated
that the cabinet would give the whole
matter serious consideration.

Japanese Wages increase.

During the last ten years the aver
age wages in Toxic, Japan have in
creased 80 per cent. During the tan
year period preceding this the increase
was only 32 per cent.
A plan of representation of trades
unions on the British national indus
trial council, which 1t is proposed to
establish In accordance with the recon-
mendation of the industrial confer
ence, has been worked ont. Under
the provisional scheme, each union
with more than 10000 members Is to
be entitled to separate representation
on the following basis: One represent
ative for each complete 10000 mem
bers up to 100000 and one representa-
tive for each further $4,000 after the
first 100000.
Statistics for the present century
show that 1850 miners strikes have
occurred in Great Britain, as com
pared with about 500 of all other
trades combined. Next to miners as
strikers rank the textile workerS--the
wooden mill operators and cotton spin
nerS.
1t has been conservatively estimated
that the cost of the steel strike in the
Pittsburgh district was 4S,157,2lO.
The loss in wages was $48 8,OO5, ,O60 and
the property loss $152, $50. The steel
tonnage loss will not exceed $500 OOO,.
600, as the mills were working part
of the time.

Shipping Board Labor.

The United States shipping board an
nounces that in order to coordinate its
labor policy and bring about a more
consistent method of dealing with Ia
Dor problems, all questions of labor
policy affecting the construction, re-
pair, operation, loading and unloading
of ships and marine equipment, will
hereafter be handled, subject to the
direction of the board, through the di-
vision Of Industrial relations of the
shipping board at Washington. Oar
ragh de Lancey, heretofore director of
the marine and dock Industrial rela-
tiOns division, has been appointed di-
rector of the division of industrial re-
latiOns.

British Labor Market cIutted.

According to figures, 100000 more
men and women are employed or look.
ing for employment in the British in
dustrial world than there were before
the war. Demobllization of troops
would necessitate absorption Of almost
another million. War losses of life
had been more than counterbalanced
by stoppage of emigration for the five
war years and the fall in value of
money made it essential that many
who had previously lived as depend.
ents should find work.

SIGNAL Men Win Demands.

The railroad administration signed
an agreement with the Brotherhood Of
Railroad Signalmen of America, pro-
viding for Standardization of wages
and working conditions among the 20,-
600 members of the union. The agree
ment is in line with adjustments made
the other railroad employees, and the
formal agreement merely ratiAes ax-
ang colditions.

RAIL MEN SETTLE TROUBLE
Offer Made to Them by the
Government

Delegates Of British railwaymen's
unions have accepted the governments
offer in settlement of wage demands
made by employees in the lower grades
of the service.
The delegates of the railway men
reported the decision to Sir Eric
Geddes, minister of transport. Later
their leader, Mr.. Thomas, said: ut is
settled. 1t has been a difficult job,
probably the most difficult of all our
tasks"

German WAGE Statistics.

The average daily wage Of work
ingmen in Germany has increased 241
per cent, and Of women 263 per cent
since 1914, according TO the Imperial
Workers Gazette of Germany. The
greatest increase was In the case of
the electrical industry. According to
an article In a recent issue of the
Cologne Gazette, the expenses of
maintaining a family of four persons
total 24O marks. a week, or 12,490
q year.

URGES PROFlT-SHARING
AS CURE FOR UNREST

The solution of the problem
OF industrial unrest Will be
found In "Some just and equit-
able system of profit-sharing,"
by which the worker will have
a personal interest In the busi-
ness, Gov. James p. Goodrich of
Indiana said in an address be-
fore the New England society of
Brooklyn. He added that the
worker then would understand
that capital and labor are
friends.

Young Harris Fraser
Absolved Of Blame
For Hitting Preacher

A charge Of disorderly conduct
against Young Harris Fraser, Allan
ia lawyer and formerly a major In
the army, was dismissed by Record
er Johnson Friday morning.
Mr.. Fraser was charged by the
Rev. ]. D. Swaggerty with approach
ing him at Whitehall and Alabama
streets Thursday morning and hit
ting him on the nose. Mr.. Fraser ad-
mitted ne struck Mr.. Swaggerty, but
said Mr.. Swaggerty had called DR..
liar.
DR.. Fraser is pastor of Wesley
Memorial church, where Mr.. SWag-
superintendent. There was a contro-
versy between him and DR.. Fraser
after Mr.. SWaggerty left this post,
in the course of which Mr.. Swag-
gerty accused DIR. Fraser of violat-
ing a verbal contract they had. At
the request of DR.. Fraser, the North
Georgia Methodist conference, meet
ing recently in Atlanta. investigat-
ed Mr.. Swaggerty's claim and re-
turned clean bill' for DR.. Fraser.
Young Fraser, testifying in court
Friday, said he had heard Mr.. Swag-
Serty Hdo DeeH repeating ms Charges
against DR.. Fraser and that, when
he met him accidentally Thursday,
he asked Mr.. Swaggerty what he
meant. When Mr.. Swaggerty replied
that he could prove the charges
against DR.. Fraser, Young Fraser
said he considered this an insult to
his father and thereupon hit Mr..
Swaggerty.
Although Mr.. Swaggerty requested
that Mr.. Fraser be punished by the
court, Recorder Johnson dismissed
the case, advising both of them to
smooth over their difficulties and
suggesting that Mr.. Swaggerty keep
silent about his controversy with
the pastor.
