Tactics OF The Officials

Tactics Of The Officials
The officials met the strong demand for this
new system by some of the slick manoeuvering
that has become typical of the Socialist Party
labor fakirs in the Garment trades They seemingly
acceeded to the wishes of the active members and
agreed that the new system should be adopted,
providing it should be endorsed by referendum
vote of all the members of the local. about 10000.
They calculated that it would be defeated by the
Indifferent mass which is always more or less
hostile to new ideas and which usually votes for
things to remain as they are
AS an extra precaution, however, these Social
ist" officials took lesson from the capitalist law
makers and put joker in the proposition which
they submitted to the members This provision,
inserted by the officials in the referendum, limited
the delegate body of rank and file delegates to
merely advisory functions. The Kaiser, in the olden
days, had his Reichstag which operated on just
such basis. Maybe that is where the kaisers of
the Ladies Garment Workers Union got their idea.
Won On Referendum
The referendum brought an enormous major
ity in favor of the shop delegate system, thanks
to the work of the active minority which lost no
time in explaining to the rank and file the true
facts and convinced them of the necessity of it.
Of course, the active minority is composed of
'Bolsheviks"; everybody says so. Those damned
Bolsheviks simply use the dictatorship on you.
They talk, talk, and talk till you are so damned
sure they are right that you march along with
them.
But here is what happened. The shop delegate
body once organized, was the only body that the
rank and file would recognize and in short time
the shop delegates came to be the whole thing and
the officials of the union nothing Plans were laid
by the officials to extricate themselves from this
unforeseen calamity, especially when the other
locals became restless and disposed to institute
the delegate system The convention of the l. L.
G. w., representing some 2500OO members, was
on hand At that convention, with the help of the

Chronic Constipation

of them have brought that condition
on themselves by the use of mineral
waters and strong cathartics that

system and aggravate the disease

Had StOmach Trouble For
Seven Years

Theodore Sanford of Kenmore,
Mich, has had stomach trouble for
seven years and could not eat vege-
tables or fruit without pain in the
stomach and restless nights. By
taking Chamberalin's Tablets he is
now able to eat vegetables or fruit
without causing pain or sleepless-
ness. If troubled with indigestion
or constipation give these tablets a
trial. They are certain to prove
beneficial.

COMEDY PART IN GREAT PLAY

Mary Pickford as Amy Burke in
"The Hoodlum," her. second produc-
ton from her own studios, which will
be seen tonight at the Auditorium
theater, plays the part of girl whom
education is having a desperate time
trying to affect.
All of the millions of Alexander
Guthrie, her grandfather, fail to dc
little for Amy's schooling other than
provide her with a specially-con,
structed desk which gives her a mir

der puffs, faucet for cold butter
milk, one pair of shell rim glasses,
ne bag of mints, two novels by Geo.
'lliott and one pen without holder.
Amy's training, however, takes a
7ecided squirt when she voluntarily
goes with her father, a sociological
writer into the tenement districts
where he decides to write book on
citizenship, And while her father
herds to the task Of writing book
that will make him famous, Amy
wraps himself in crazy-quilt clothing
and the environment of the tenements
which makes her a "hoodlum, much

H|CC0UGHS RUN
SECOND TO FLU
Annoying AiIment Assumes Near
Epidemic Proportions in
Last Two Weeks.

Are hiccoughs contagious! Is
Washington in the grasp of an epi-
demic that will send the population
through the streets and public build
ings with sounds like a Keeley cure
undergraduate class?
DR.. w. c. Fowler, District health
officer, declares there 10 nothing to
it--that hiccoughs are merely q per
sonal matter. due to an irritation of
the lining OF the stomach or intestinal
tract. communicating its effect
through the nerves and brain to the
diaphragm.
Nevertheless, physicians report
that they have had a phenomenal
number Of cases OF hiccoughs within
the last two weeks.
II am not prepared to say that
the disease is epidemic, but 1 never
had so many cases in such a short
time" said a prominent osteopath
81 personally have treated no less
than thirty cases in tho last fifteen
days.
There is no surface indication that
the malady comes from . germ; In
fact indications would be to the con-
trary IL there were not 80 many
cases.
sometimes the attacks are only for
a short time and sometimes they con-
tinue for hours and days, and in the
end they would cause death, either
from exhaustion or from asphyxia-
ton, the contraction of the diaphragm
preventing the lungs from aerating
the air.
"Hiccoughs start with an irritation
of the lining OF the stomach, com
municate the irritation to the
diaphragm, affect the phrenic nerves,
and communicate with the brain,
which sends reflex impulse that
causes paroxysms OF the diaphragm
"The cure is effected by arresting
this return impulse, which Is ac-
complished by manipulating deli
cate part OF the neck"
So far as learned today, no patients
have been sent to the hospitals be-
cause of hiccoughs. Deaths have oc-
CURED in some cases, but these were
due. Il was said, to excessive irrita-
tion following an operation.
