ton, which will decide what it will do in response to the call for organized labor's support.
 On the eve of the meeting. w l.. liar risoh, president of the federation. and international organizer of the United Mine Workers of America. issued the following statement:
 The entire Alabama public will be informed of the conditions surrounding the union miners of the state after the extra session of the State Federation of Labor has been held. Delegates from every part of the state are arriving and the large number which the credentials committee reports are coming assure one of the largest assemblies ever held by the state body
 The purpose of the meeting has been announced before. Extraordinary ef- forts are needed if organized labor is to maintain its right to exist in Ala bama. Realizing that if the striking miners are permitted to fight alone without the active support of other crafts, opponents of unionism will be able eventually under that plan to segregate labor organizations and crush them one by one.
 Alabama workers in all crafts are thoroughly aroused over the situation regarding the miners, and effective support to them is assured from the ranks of all the other crafts. All units of the State Federation of Labor. the farmers, railroad brotherhoods and all organized workers, will be represented
 We are going to engage the atten- tion of every person in Alabama with presentation of the truth about the indignities which have been heaped upon the heads of miners. We are go- ing to advise the public of the gun men methods, the orders of military autocrats and other things. And we propose to issue memorial covering the situation direct to President Will son."

SOUTH IS TURNING
 AGAINST CALOMEL Mir. Dodson, the Liver Tone Man, Responsible for
 Change for the Better.

Every druggist in town has noticed a great falling off in the sale of calo- mel. They all give the same reason. Dodsons' Liver Tone is taking it's place.
 "Calomel is dangerous and people know it" Dodson's Liver Tone is per- sonally guaranteed by every druggist who sells it. A large bottle doesn't cost very much. but if it fails to give easy relief in every case of liver slug gishness and constipation. just ask for your money back.
 Dodsons Liver Tone is pleasant tasting. purely vegetable remedy, harmless to both children and adults Take a spoonful at night and wake up feeling fine; no biliousness. sick head ache, acid stomach or constipated bow els. It doesn't gripe or cause incon- venience all the next day like violent calomel. Take a dose of calomel to- day and tomorrow you will feel weak. sick and nauseated. Don't lose a day Adv.
