Why THAT LAME BAcKa

That morning ameness-those
sharp painy when bending or lift
ing, make work a burden and rest
impossible. Don't be handicapped
by a bad back-look to your kid
neys. You will make no mistake
by following this Abilene residents
example. Ask your neighbor.
T. o. Adams, 903 W.. 1st ST.,
says: my kidneys were weak and
the secretions contained sediment.
They passed too frequently. Ny
back ached constantly and 1 would
get up mornings feeling all tired out.
1 tried different medicines without
benefit until / used Doan's Kidney
Pals. They soon gave me relief and
the pains left and my kidneys be-
came normal"
Relies on Doan's
:. On June 20. 1919. Mr.. Adams
said: "Doan's Kidney Pills are a
good medicine and can't be beat.
They made cure for me when 4
had an attack of kidney disorder. I
use Doan's now about once q year
to cleanse and tone my kidneys."

TRAMP SAILORS
Infest u. S. Industrial Sea,
Says Gompers

Washington.-"T Tramp sailors on
the industrial sea" is the term applied
to anti-union promoters by President
Gompers, writing in American Feder-
ationist, current issue.
"a great part of the campaign to
destroy trade unions," he says, "has
been inspired by professional propa-
gandists-men whose business in life
is to go from one piece of exploita-
tion to another, organizing one move
ment and another, wherever the OPP
portunities for what is called "easy
money seem brightest-have been
mainly responsible for perhaps the
major portion of the campaign against
labor.
'They have found it ridiculously
easy to convince employers that man
ufacturing costs could be reduced if
only the unions could be destroyed.
Business men, sagacious enough in
the ordinary routine of their affairs,
have been a surprisingly easy prey
to these tramp sailors of the indus
trial sea. They have been as free
and thoughtless in opening their check
books for this purpose as they no

WAGE ISSUE IS
STRAW MAN

Philadelphia wages will
have little effect on railroad rates.
What the managers want is to abro-
gate the national agreement.
The above summarizes an address
to business men in this city by f. T.
Whittier, chairman of the conference
committee of railroad managers. The
speaker made the ludicrous claim that
the national agreement would event
ually lead to 1.-The one big union"
He said labor unions are all right,
''if they are run right" but that they
must not interfere with the managers
and employees discussing working
conditions-tha is, the employees have
the right to negotiate working condi
tions, but under plans that will chop
them into small groups.
Mr. Whittier told the business men
that the railroads fight is their fight,
for if the managers win it will aid
them.

at is indeed regrettable that those
whose motives are no higher than i'm

should have been so able to influence

fortunate that there are these great
