LABOR COUNCIL OBJECTS

JACKSONVILLE. Fla. February
27.-The executive council of the
American Federation Of Labor has
teiegraphed Senator Henry L. Myers
Of Montana protesting against his
proposed amendments to the civil
service retirement bill now before
the Senate.
The telegram follows:
'Inasmuch as you have proposed
amendments to the civil service re-
tirement bill now before the Senate,
which. II enacted. would not only do
great injustice TO the many fed
eral employees. but also do a grave
wrong to the American Federation
of Labor and its more than 1000, 0n0
members We ask what unlawful. i'm
moral or overt act has the American
Federation of Labor committed that
it shall be singled out for dishonor?
Whether in peace or in war. the
Am arican Federation Of Labor has
stood steadfast. loyal. patriotic and
self-sacrificing for the cause of our
republic and for the democratic ideals
of justice and freedom for which our
country stands. The American Fed
Grafton of Labor has done and is
doing moro than any other agency
in the United states to avert and
avoid strikes. whether in public or
private employment. 1t has stood
against destructive and for con-
structive methods and policies to
meet the industrial needs of the
country in these very trying times
of peace. If the conservative. prac-
tical and constructive American Fed
Grafton of Labor Is to be stigmatized
as q body for which citizens of our
country are penalized for member
ship therein or affiliation thereto it
will inevitably follow that the Amer
lean Federation Of La Dor. the great
natural, rational organization in the

ers of our country. will be placed
in the same category with those
movements recognized as being of

provement OF these waterways. In
order to carry out this policy it was
essential to make a beginning with
the inadequate equipment available.
The scarcity of material during the
war greatly retarded the obtaining of
the necessary new equipment and the
result has been that during the entire
period Of federal control these opera
tions on the waterways have neces-
sarily been conducted without ade-
Quate equipment and. Of course, with
out the possibility of having a de-
veloped traffic.
Il believe it highly important in
the public interest that there shall be

A NELLckNOWN INSTITUTION.

Probably no institution in America
Is more widely known than Doctor
Pierce's InvaIfds' Hotel in Buffalo,
N. Y. Although established many years
ago it is today a modern sanitarium,
having all the latest facilities for the
correct diagnosis of diseases and their
successful treatment through medicine
or surgery.
1t was DR.. Pierce. its founder,
who over 80 years ago gave to the
world that wonderful stomach tonic
and blood purifier, Golden Medical
Discovery" and that famous nom
alcoholic medicine for women, "Fa-
vorite Prescription"
In his early professional career, DR..
Pierce realized that every family, but
especially those who live remote from
a physician, should have at hand an
instructive book that would teach them
something about First Aid, Physi-
OlOgy, Anatomy, Hygiene; how to rec
Ognize different diseases, how to care
for the sick, what to do in case of ac-
cident or sudden sickness, ETC., so he
published that great book, the Medical
Adviser" an up-to-date edition Of
which can be procured by sending 80
cents to Doctor Pierce's Invalids'
Hotel in Buffalo, n. Y.
Later, DR.. Pierce added another link
to his chain of good works by estab-
fishing a bureau Of correspondence to
which any one can write for medical
advice, without any expense whatever,
and II necessary, medicines especially
prepared in Doctor Pierce'S Laboratory
will be sent by parcel post or express
for use at home, at a reasonable cost.
Thus those who have symptoms of dis
ease need not suffer mental agony fear
ing that they have some serious all
ment. but can have a diagnosis made
free by a physician of high profes-
sional standing. Write to DR.. Pierce
relating your symptoms if you need
medical advice for any chronic disease.
