ANSONIA SHOPS
 CLOSED AS 4,OOO
 WORKERS GO OUT
Organized Labor Officers Offer Police Aid in Quelling
 Trouble Makers.

Ansonia, March 26.-Between $500 and 4,000 workers in the American Brass company shops here went out on strike Wednesday to enforce demand for an increase i'll wages of 25 to 30 per cent. to enable them to keep up with the steadily rising prices of foods and necessities i'll Ansonia. The strike caused the complete suspension of work in the shops but in order that no prop erty damage might result the workers in mass meeting voted to send the fire room workers back so that the fires might be kept up and the plants intact.
 While the workers are not affiliated with Organized Labor as yet, Secretary Ira M. Ornburn of the Connecticut Federation of Labor and Joseph Tone, organizer for the International Associa- ton of Machinists, came here and open ed offices, the intent being primarily to organize the men properly and head off expected attempts of l. w. w. and other agitators reported to be on the scene or the way there to foment troube.
 MT. Ornburn waited on the police and civic authorities and pledged the sup port of the organizations to preventing any trouble of this sort or similar to what was had some three years ago when the same workers were on strike. Samuel Lavitt, formerly of Bridgeport, who some time ago got in bad with the organization, (the Machinists) was re- ported to be one of those expected here to attempt to organize the men. His methods are not approved by Organized Labor and the police authorities were assured by MT. Ornburn that fife he started anything under the guise of La bor, the organized bodies would support the authorities in quelling him.
 The workers held mass meeting yesterday at which the matter of or ganizing and affiiating with the Fed eration of Labor was discussed briefly. It was put over for the time being the meeting deciding to carry on the fight as it is for the time being. The meet ing although composed of men of many different nationalities was very order ly. It voted to stay out until the de- mands are granted.
 Meantime the company is considering the adoption of company store" plans as an inducement to the men to return on the promise of lower costs of neces- sites. The idea so far hasn't made hit with the workers.
 Secretary Ornburn established head quarters at the Ansonia Opera House and began the organization of a branch of the Federal Workers Union. To date more than 25O are enrolled. A mass meeting will be held today at Germania hall at which a general en- rollment is expected.

Abolish The Death Traps.

Editors Pleasantville Press:-
Now that the rush is over and con-
ditions have settled down to solid
facts and there is mo Reuse for not
getting men and materials, labor being
more plentiful today than in years,
now is the time that the citizens and
City Council should get busy and in
sist upon the railroad companies do
ing ava with these deathly grade
crossings and replace them with orna-
mental viaducts. Let them lower their
tracks, and by so doing it will in the
long run save them all kinds of trou-
BILE and expense. Now is the time to
do it.
With the building of the tunnel that
will connect New York and New Jer-
sey and the bridge that will connect
Pennsylvania and New Jersey, n
will be able to get in their automobile
in New York City or Philadelphia and
not get out until they reach Pleasant
vile, Ocean City or Atlantic City.
Thousands of additional automobiles
will pass daily over these new high
ways and that is why We as progress
sive citizens of our hustling city of
Pleasantville should get busy on this
most important civic improvement
that will be the means of saving many
a life that with increased traffic might
be crushed out by these two death
traps running directly through the
centre of our city. There is nc posi-
Bile excuse and members of City Coun-
Gil, backed up by our citizens and
those who want to see the. lives of
citizens and visitors protected should
pass resolutions and request the rail
roads to take immediate action to
abolish these death traps and get busy
on the life-saving movement. This
cannot come too quickly.

MEAT CAUSE Of
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take . glass of Salts if your Back
hurts or Bladder bothers-Meat
forms uric acid.

If you must have your meat every day,
eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts
occasionally, says a noted authority who
tells us that meat forms uric acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in their eff
forts to expel it from the blood They
become sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with a dull misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
Obliging yOl to seek relief two or three
time during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids, to
cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body's urinous waste get four ounces of
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
Iithia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
alse IL neutraliEe the acids in urine,
30 1t no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cann~t in.
jure, and makes a delightful eferVescent
Whitewater drink.

SENATOR MCCORMICK, HAROLD
IckES AND OTHERS PUSH
iLLINolSAN IN RACE.

The closest friends of the late Col
Theodore Roosevelt and former lead
ers of the Progressive party in ILL
nois and other states of the middle
West are enthusiastically supporting
Gov. Frank O. Lowden's candidacy for
the Republican nomination for presi-
dent United States Senator Medill
Mccormick is one of the most active
workers in Gov. Lowden's behalf, both
In Washington and in Chicago.
Other former Progressives who are
fighting for Lowden in the present
campaign are: Harold l.. Ickes, form
er chairman of the national committee
of the Progressive party; Congress-
man Ira G. Copley of Aurora; B. f.
Harris of Champaign; FranlspH. Funk
of Bloomington, Progressive payty
candidate for governor of Illinois in

LOWDEN CUTS
TAXES THIRD
IN TWO YEARS
Illinois Executive Shows That
Business Methods More Than
Counterfeit High Prices.
A RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENTS
Executive Departments Consolidated
Business Men Put In OFFICE
Sound Financial Policy Ap-
piled to State
Affairs.

Gov. Frank o. Lowden's great rec
ord as war executive of Illinois has
made him one of the leading candi'
dates for the Republican nomination
for president. 1t is story of admin
istrative achievements. Every pledge
to the people has been redeemed.
Despite high prices and unsettled
conditions due to the war, Gov. Low
den, by the practical application OF
business methods to the management
of the states affairs, reduced the tax
rate In Illinois 80 per cent in two
years. His friends are certain that he
can do for the nation what he has
done for Illinois In the matter of good
government and lower taxes If he Is
given the opportunity.
When Governor Kowden assumed Of
fee as executive of Illinois in Janu-
airy, 1917, the state treasury was prac-
tically bankrupt. There was only $3.50
to the credit of the general fund.
when outstanding bills had been paid.
One of his first official acts was to
abolish many political Jobs by COM
bining the work of 125 different de-
partments and bureaus into nine com
pact central departments. Gov. Low
den also had the state adopt a budget
system which he thought would be a
model for other commonwealth. He
placed business men and trained ex-
perts In charge of each of these de-
partments with gratifying results to
the taxpayers.
The cost of conducting the state
government was reduced hundreds Of
thousands Of dollars year while the
quality of service to the public showed
a marked Improvement. The effects
Of business administration In the
state were manifest in short time.
The state gradually built up cash
balance and was able to discount its
bills.
AS a practical illustration of what
good government means 1t is officially
estimated that Illinois will have a
cash balance of $9,877, 225 on hand
July l, 1920, in spite of a reduction of
80 per cent in the tax rate. This liz
what Gov. Lowden's business admins
tratlon has done for Illinois.
In addition to these things Gov.
Lowuen succeeded in accomplishing
these concrete results:
Began work on the states $6O,OO0,-
600 good roads system. Two hundred
miles of good road were built last year.
One thousand miles will be completed
In 1870.
Authorized the beginning of work on
the last link of the states system of
waterways, which will connect the
Great Lakes with the Mississippi river.
Obtained needed tax reforms for the
people.
Recognized the states penal and
charitable institutions on a humane
basis.
Brought about a constitutional con-
vention for Illinois, which is now in
session forming new basic law for
the state.
Friends of Gov. Lowden believe that
actions speak louder than words, and
they point to his public record as evil
dence that he is the type of man need
ed for president in this critical period
of the country's history.
