People With Thin Pale Blood
Are Listless And Want
to do Little
MORE RED BLOOD
CELLS NEEDED
Take Pepto-Mangan, Famous
Tonic, and say Lets Co."
instead of Lets Don't"

When normally healthy, ambl-
tious people begin to lack energy
and tire easily-when they are
quickly discouraged and low in
vitality, it usually means their
blood has grown weak.
Such people are called anemlc,
or run down." Build up the
blood and you build up the
health and spirits. Pepto-Man-
gan is a pleasant-tasting red
blood builder and it contains ex-.
actly the elements which poor,
pale blood needs to become rich,
red blood.
Red blood means rosy cheeks,
bright eyes, a clear brain, a. firm
step. Pepto-Mangan has placed
thousands of people who needed
building up in the full-blooded,
energetic, vigorous class. It
changes the 'let's don't" atti-
tude to a "let's 60" attitude.
Recommended by physicians for
thirty years and sold all over the
tworld.
Pepto-Mangan is sold in both
LIQUID and tablet form. Both
contain the same medicinal in
gradients.
Buy Pepto-Mangan at your
druggists. Be sure the name
"Gude's" is on the package

Doll Little Again Convicted.

Doll Little, colored, was con-
victed in Arson court of first de-
gree murder two weeks ago, and
Judge Finley sentenced him to
be electrocuted June 30th; how
ever, notice of appeal was given.
Little murdered Mr.. Will Honey
cult at Morven last year; he was
tried several months ago, con-
victed and date set for his cleo
trocution, but the Supreme
Court granted him a new trial.
And now this trial has gone
against him, too, and it would
seem that he must go to the
chair.

POMERENE CONDEMNED
Ohio Postal Clerks Blame Senator
for Delay III Postal Bill

Senator Pomerene was accused al
the annual meeting of the Ohio Fed
GRAFTON of Postal Clerks of being
largely responsible for holding up the
pension bill for postal clerks. The
charge was made by Thos f. Flaher-
ty, secretary-treasurer for the ma
tional federation.
The Ohio senator has suggested,
Flaherty said, that the entire pension
fund be created by contributions from
the postal clerks instead of 10 per
cent as provided in the present bill.
"Pomerene's position is indefensible.
He is largely responsible for holding
the bill up, but has not made an at
tempt to amend it or introduce a sub
stitute," Flahcrty said.
f. w. Slessman, Youngstown, was
elected president of the state organ

president, and j. C. Gracey, Toledo,

Can't Visit Strike Zone

San Juan, Porto Rico - On the
ground that they are fostering riots
and a general strike, the acting gov
ernor of this island has ordered An
drew McAndrew and Peter Brady to
keep away from the strike zone in
which $4,000 sugar workers are de-
manding higher wages.
Messrs. McAndrew and Brady COM
pose the A. F. of L. commission that
is investigating Porto Rico labor con-
ditions. They demanded that the act
ing governor produce evidence to JUS
tify his order, and when this was not
Forthcoming they informed the of
ficial that they did not propose to
have their lawful movements inter
fered with, and that they would not
only visit the strike zone but they
would encourage the strikers to stand
firm in their fight for living wage.
The two unionists recently address
sed an open letter to the acting gov
ernor in which Porto Rico was re-
ferred to as "a living graveyard"
and many employers were compared
with the pirates of years ago who
ravaged the south seas.

Oppose Labor InjunCtiOns

Springfield, Ill. - The executive
board Of the Illinois state federation
CT labor has asked the state constitu-
tional convention to include this labor
section in the new constitution:
Section /. The labor of human
being is an attribute of life and is
not property.
Section 2. The right of workmen
representatives chosen by themselves
is declared and it shall not be
abridged.
Section 3. No court, tribunal, judge
nor any officer or official shall by any
process, order, injunction, restraining
order, decree or proclamation abridge
the right Of any workman to quit any
employment either singly or in con-
cert, nor the right of by peaceable
persuasion, picketing, assemblage or
the payment of strike benefits in
ducing others to quit or to refrain
from working, nor shall any such acts
be made or held to be unlawful, or
to constitute an unlawful conspiracy
Nor shall any such process, order,
decree or proclamation interfere with
the exercise of the legitimate func-
tons of any organization formed for
the purpose of advancing the inter-
ests Of those who labor"

Who Shall be Slave
THE CANT STRIKE" LAW is

So Says Fred w. Davis, Commissioner
Of Agriculture in Letter to
Congressman BlantOn

Austin, Texas-"A Prussian ideaI''
is what Fred w. Davis, commissioner
OF agriculture, terms "can't-strike''
legislation in a letter to Congressman
Blanton.
The Texas officials protests against
the action of four alleged farmers

"Why should the farmers pull the
chestnuts of organized capital out of
the fire? Certainly our farmers are
more closely identified with labor
than with capital.

or labor, but the memorial deals
with the abstract principle of human
rights wherein it contends that labor
has not the right to strike. 1t further
contends that farmers have no right
to strike because the public's inter-
ests are paramount.
"lf one class is going to be COM
PEELED TO work for the benefit of an

Labor in Earnest

Campaign Will be Waged by Central

the local non-partisan campaign in
that locality.
The call is signed by Samuel Com

lows:
"To Central Bodies:

MUSIC FOR WORKERS
Proctor & Gamble Employees Have
Regular Concerts

An interesting feature of the life
of an employe at the great Ivorydale
plant of the Proctor & Gamble Com
pany is the regular weekly band con-
cert, between eleven thirty and twelve
thirty each Thursday.
This band is not professional or
ganization. 1t is strictly an en-
ployes' affair, forty-two employees
making up its roster, and working
together so splendidly that they pro-
duce music which compares favorably
with ordinary concert bands.
The management has encouraged
this band, enthusiastically believing
that its benefits are twofold. The
employees themselves are benefited by
the music provided, and those who
have musical talent have an OPP
portunity to practice and develop
themselves.
Listening to good music for an
hour is as good as several hours rest"
declared one of the officials of the
company. at relieves the mind of
tenseness and worries, and allows
complete relaxation of mind and body.
Food bolted in a hurry does not digest
readily and leaves the person in a
more nervous condition than before
eating. Therefore, it is of especial
benefit that we have our band music
during the lunch hour"

Two Views on R. R. Bill

New York-The New York Times
acknowledges that one clause in the
new railroad bill is thoroughly anti
union, and that the opposition of the
organized workers is justified. In re-
ferring to that section which permits
100 workers to act Independently of
any other group, the editor says: at
defeats the effort that organization
has made to unionize the classes of
railway workers who prefer to benefit
themselves by promotion in the SER
vice rather to limit their prospects
to the average imposed on the
unioniZed crafts"
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1920-03-05

and labor at the mercy of capital
after September l, 1920
, "The returns to capital are fixed
upon an arbitrary basis. The rate
which the public must pay and wages
/ which labor must receive must ac-
commodate themselves to this basis
fixed for capital. This act makes the
public and labor subservient to
capital"
1t is shown that heretofore compe-
j tition was relied upon to keep rates
down, and upon regulation to prevent
rates becoming extortionate. 1t has
also been held that the basis upon
which compensation was to be re-
ceived by the railroads must be
judicially determined. This theory
is now abandoned.
'..By this BILL" continue the railroad
employees, "the government which we
have instituted for the common good,
is prostituted to establish the private
intrests of holders of railway secur-
tiles as a class, giving to them first
lien upon the property Of the country
at the expense of all other citizens,
investors, producers and consumers.
This is an intolerable subversion of
the principles of American govern
ment for the common good, the estab-
lishment of government for private
interest, special privileges and class
/ benefits"
In their glee over the return Of the
railroads, these facts have been ignor-
ed by the public press and big busi-
ness, as has the warning of the di-
rector general of railroads and Inter
state Commerce Commissioner Wool
ley that a return of the railroads at
this time means increased freight
rates Of % to 40 per cent, followed
by increased living costs to the people
of at least SO 1000, 100000 a year
The railroad employees opposition
to this bill is answered by the charge
that they are asking for special fa-
vors, and to this the employees reply:
Railroad employees never have and
do not now seek to be treated as a
privileged class, but we ask and ex-
pect just and equitable treatment,
and the continuation of our inalien-
able right to have an equal voice,
representation, and vote in any tri-
bunal created by law or mutual agree
ment which is to establish by it's de-
cisions the compensation we are to
receive for our efforts and the work.
ing conditions under which our serv-
ices must be rendered. One-tenth of
the population of the United States
is represented by the railway en-
ployes. We have a dual interest to
conserve, interest as citizens, and our
interest as the great human force that
makes possible the essential service"

Inability to speak the English

I Liberty is the spirit which we must
breathe and live.
The foreigner who comes here to
partake of our freedom and with his
brain and effort to improve it, is the
welcomed courier of the new era of
increased democracy, but the for
eigner who comes here to partake of
our freedom merely to cause its de-
struction, is a menace to US, and,
therefore, to the whole world.
The desire to destroy comes only
with the belief of an existing wrong.
No sane man seeks to destroy for the
mere love of destruction. In every
wanton, there is a purpose for the
better, however perverted the same
may be.
1t is our duty, the duty of every
citizen to show to everyone the true
spirit of Americanism. 1t is incum-
bent upon each one of US to Ameri-
canize every foreigner.
We have, in society fashion,, adopt
cd war orphans. Noble charity! But
self-preservation, the survival of dem
ocracy, should lead US to take the
many foreigners in our fold and
Americanize them.
There is the crux-What is Ameri-
canization? We may not all agree
as to the fullest meaning of dem
ocracy, but we all will agree that
Amercanization does not mean ex-
ploitation; it does not mean profteer-
ing.

Return Railroads to Private Owners; DOL
lars, Not Men, Protected

Washington--Congress has return
ed the railroads to private owners,
over the protest of organized labor,
farmers and other groups of citizens
who have urged that these properties
be held for at least two years, that
test of government management
may be made under normal conditions
The senate favored return by vote
of AZ to II, and the house vote was
$50 to $50.
The senate anti-stlike section was
eliminated, but in its place was in
serted provision that trade union
lists declare will destroy all discipline
and encourage employees to disregard
existing agreements and long -estab-
lished orderly methods of procedure
This provision recognizes the right
Of any 100 employees to initiate a
movement within any recognized
class. 1t is shown that this may be
| duplicated by dividing the respective
classes by 100 which would be ap-
proximately 10000 groups Of not
less than 100 employees presenting
requests on 165 trunk lines, no two
of the requests being the same.
The railroad employees say that the

tions, representing about 95 per cent
Of all employees, can be construed as

agreements and destroy the organi-
cations which negotiated them
The workers. fears a,a sustained
by the New York Times, a recognized
spokesman for big business, which
frankly states that this section of the
bill is in,ended to stop orgar. zation
cf railroad employees.
The bill also provides that where a
trade unionist accepts membership on
the labor board, the appointee must
give up his rights as a member of his
organization, except insurance, pen
sion or other benefit funds.
In their protest against this pro-
vision, the railroad employees say:
"Men in the organized labor move
ment, competent by their long years
of experience and training, to deal
with the questions evolving upon
q board of the character contem-
plated, cannot be expected to relin-
quish an association representing
their life's work, to accept a position
under the provisions above cited"
The bill guarantees labor against
a reduction of wages until September
next, but after that date, the rail
doar workers declare, neither the in
terests of the, public or labor are safe
guarded On the other hand, capital
is guaranteed a minimum return of
51s per cent, leaving both the public
