basic operations of manufacture VIII average 25 pockets a day thereafter.
 Although an employer is not al lowed a check upon the output of his employees. it is recognized fact that employees after the probation period rarely come up to capacity produc- ton, and often fall far below. In many cases the number of pockets a man will make is as low as 15 a day. This reduction in production, sup plemented by an increase of 200 per cent in wages, makes an average of 400 per cent increase in the cost of manufacturers production.
 It is the consensus of opinion among manufacturers that prices would be very much more stable if this 400 per cent increase was a sta ble condition From week to week reports show na1contents demanding rises or decreasing their service and retrding production in such a way as to reduce an output of 800 suits to 700 suits a week.
 This thorn in the nanufacturer's side gives vent to bitter accusations so prevalent. Most manufacturers realize the past abuse of piece work They also realize that it would be

 With the war came a shortage of labor that still exists. With this shortage came 1abor's chance to take the upper hand, and it is this con- trolling influence that is being felt throughout the textile industry today, which some persons investigating the matter believe can only be corrected by returning to piece work.
 The. abuse of piece work is irnpos- sible at the present time, it is said in attempt to get away from the pres ent tyrannies of labor. The shortage of labor would not permit abuse, and this shortage makes it possible for the 1aboring man to take an upper hand. In some large New York clothing factories the manufacture, finds labor constantly irrftated A man is hired, and according tc union law cannot be discharged after being in his employers service two weeks unless caught fighting with 7 fellow employe.

INS.S1 LABOR
 IS PREDATORY

That state of production represent ing a mean between piece work and the present wage demands of labor, possible only in the millennium, is pictured by capital and labor as the only fair basis of future operation. In the needle work trade manufacturers and employees are both considered responsible for the present high cost of clothing.
 The reversion of production to a bass that the employe has always dreamed of has brought about con- didons that are just as harmful to civilization as the speeding up piece work system of the past. In the days when labor was plentiful, and the war had not reaped it's harvest of men and boys, the piece work sys- tenn was abused by the manufactr- CTS who are now suffering the con-

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
it's remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one OF the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as.
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is SO
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
