These guys start riding at ono

LABOR NEARING
REVOLT STAGE,
G0MPERSS SAYS
Attitude Of Capitalists Assail-
cd by A. F. of L. Head in
Speech at Boston. i

BOSTON. March 2o.-Samuel
Gompers. In a speech here yester-
day, warned all America that labor
is very near q revolt as a result of
the stiff-necked attitude Of the capt.
talists.
"The present attitude of capital
toward labor" he declared, "is max
ing it extremely difficult for dis
putes between capital and labor to
be peaceably and reasonably ad-
justed."
1.-The thought of arbitration which
capital was forced to adopt during
the period Of prosperity seems now
very far away. When labor shows
itself peaceable and always open to
reasonable discussion and adjust
ments and capital holds completely
aloof, issuing ukases from behind
closed doors, from time to time, to
those whom 1t fancies 1t has at it's
mercy, there is little question which
side public opinion will support or
what the outcome will be.
The demands made on the textile
workers In cities in New Hampshire,
Rhode Island and districts Of Massa-
chusetts are illogical, unreasonable.
tnexcusable from employers who pro-
Tess to have any desire to do justice
to their workmen.
Living Only Slightly Cut.
"Will you tell me why, with the
warehouses bursting, as we are in
formed on every hand, with goods
of various kinds; with concerns
utterly unable to clean up quickly,
II at all, on their sales; with busi-
ness, according to the mill owners
themselves, at an utter standstill,
there is need to 60 back to the
64-hour week?
And Will anyone explain to me
how, with the cost OF living, as the
most optimistic calculations assert,
reduced but IL per cent, and the
cost of wages of labor reduced 81
per cent. these men expect to stImu-
late business? Millions of laboring
men are out OF employment in this
country. Millions more, If their
plans should carry, would be 30
underpaid as to have the greatest
difficulty in providing themselves
and families with necessities of life.
Extra Guards for Strike.
PROVIDENCE, r. l., March 90
Extra police were called out last
night to guard mills that are ex-
pected to reopen today after being
closed wholly or in part for two
months because of the strike of
textile operatives.
Troops which have been guarding
the Jenckes Spinning Company's
plant at Pawtucket were reinforced
by a detail of special deputies sent
at the request Of the mill manage
ment.

Says a Sn-day Bicycle Rider Goes Around in

about Is the following Saturday.
They've got six days to make It

they can get there quicker.

No matter how fast you rice you
can't get to Saturday on q Thurs

are . lot Of saps who are riding
around In limousines.
These riders have to get their
coffee and cake on the fly. That's
better than getting a fly on the

They steer their bike with their

They get their training FROM dining

Children to Be Sent to COnva1escent
 Home at Long Hill

A meeting of the Camp Omans com mittee of the Associated Charities will be held soon to make plans for the opening of Camp Omans the recrea- tlon pltce for convaleacent children, the later part of next week. About 40 small girls from every charitable or ganiZation in the city will be sent up to the house in Long Hill.
 The daily program will consist of games and exercises, on the grounds, and swimming in the big pool, during the stay, with a special program of songs and stories each evening. It has not yet been announced who will be in charge of the Camp this summer.
 During the early summer only children will be allowed to the camp but latter in the season, during the latter ptrt of August and the first of September, the tired and weary mothers may enjoy delightful and well earned vacations at the camp.
 Camp Omans was given to the As sociated Charities several years ago by the late Mrs. J. P. Omans.

"The Little Cottage" a Geo. Choos' offering, being comedy, with music. and lots of both, with a thoughtful and vivacious assortment of pretty girls appropriately gowned, forms the headline offering m the new vaude- vile bill at Polls today, promised as good as the holiday bill of the first part of the week, that caused such general favorable comment
 Jack La Vier talks fiuently as the proverbial mother-in-law, but every thing he does or says is in the spirit of jest. La Vier is a monologist and he is not a monologist. He talks fuently and humorously and the while he tries his hand at other things. The other things are-well, MT. La Vfer would rather that you see them than read about them and they are well worth seeing.
 Three other acts include Wilson and Kalppel, Wizards of the Wooden Shoe; Arnold and Weston. in a comedy, Pills; and Charlotte 1ans- ing. the new prima donna with Gladys Taylor, at the piano.

 THE CLOCK

The latest novelty in the form of a Home or Office Savings Bank is being issued by the Mechancs and Farm CTS Savings Bank of this city. It is called the Coin Clock Savings Bank. Unique in the fact that it cannot be wound unless a 5 cent, 10 cent or 25 cent coin is put in every day, the clock runs down every 24 hours. The mechanism is so arranged that it can not be wound until a coin is placed in a receptacle for this purpose daily.
 After winding the clock any amount may be deposited in pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters or bills daily. The Clock is practical, ornamental and useful and gives notice every day as to whether or not the owner has gone to the bank.
 Grown ups, and children alike who have seen the clock are enthusiastic over it, and without doubt will be the means of saving many hundreds of dollars. .>or all those who are forum ate enough to obtain one.
 The Coin Clock Savings Bank can be seen only at the Mechanics & Farmers Savings Bank, where full in formation may be obtained without any obligation. It promises to be- come very popular and will be much in demand.

Mentho-Sulphur, a pleasant cream, will soothe and heal skin that is ir- ritated or broken out with eczema: that is covered with ugly rash or pimples, or is rough or dry. Moth ing subdues fiery skin eruptions. so quickly, says a noted skin specialist
 The moment this sulphur prepara- ton is applied the itching stops and after two or three applications, the eczema is gone and the skin is de- lightfully clear and smooth. Sulphur is so precious as a skin remedy be- cause it destroys the parasites that cause the burning, itching or dis figurement. Mentho-Sulphur always heals eczema right up.
