the Labor party program, which in
cludes government work or mainte-

in the various crafts; road building
and other public works; reduction in
military commitments and peace with
Russia

sent these demands to the govern
ment and the convention adjourned
until February 23 when it was said
a strike may be considered If the gov
ernment fails to act. Responsible lead

REIEcT PLAN FoR asoWETsg
Employers Turn Down Revolutionary
Demand Made by the French
Metal Workers Union.

The demand Of the French Metal
Workers union that the employers
grant them the right to form what
are popularly termed 'soviets" in each
factory to supervise the work was re-
fused by employers
The latter contended that the matters
over which control was requested did
not concern the workers, but they
promised simultaneously to make an
attempt to alleviate the unemployment
situation.
The workers had demanded among
other things supervision of wages,
working and sanitary conditions.
It is not known what decision the
metal workers will take in the face
of the employers refusal, but the sit
uation admittedly is very serious.
There were further predictions OF a
large increase in the number of un-
employed and added to this situation
are the threats of the communist
party Of France of demonstrations. It
is feared these demonstrations may
have an aggravating effect if the num-
Der of idle men is not reduced and the
cost of living lowered.

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
its 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. T., for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

VOTE REDUCTION
in WAGE SCALE.
Employees Of Abram Cox Stove
Company Indorse Cut Of
is Per Cent.
LOOK FOR BENEFIT IN ACTION
With Reduction In Selling Prices, It
Is Believed Business Will Be Stim-
ulated-Plant Operates Under Leiteh
Plan Of Industrial Democracy.

The employees Of the Abram Cox
Stove company, Philadelphia, operat-
ing under the John Leitch plan of in
dustrial democracy, have unanimously
voted a reduction of Is per cent in
their wages. They feel that this ac-
tion, coupled with an immediate reduc-
tion in selling prices, will stimulate
the business of the company and pro-
vide steadier employment.
The Leitch plan Of industrial de-
mocracy, which is in operation in more
than 300 Industrial plants in the Uni
ted States and Canada under the per-
sonal supervision of Mr.. Leitch and
a cabinet which meets in. New York
monthly, makes of each plant a small
republic. The corporate heads of the
organization occupy an advisory ca
pacity comparable to a cabinet, and
are known as such. Department heads
and shop officials compose a senate,
and the shop workers elect by secret
ballot their own representatives, who
function as a house of representatives.
Recommendations of the highest
body have to be acted upon by the two
branches, and, similarly, legislation
which originates in the house goes to
the higher bodies for approval before
settled policies are determined.
