ANNOUNCES STAND OF LABOR
President eompers Declares Unquall-
fled Opposition to Proposed New
Industrial Relations Court.

Employers in New York state were
warned in a statement issued by Sam
uel GOmpers, president Of the AmerI-
can Federation Of Labor, that organ
iezd labor would oppose any attempt
to enact legislation establishing an in
dustrial relations court.
He referred particularly to the meas
ure proposed by the New York board
Of trade and transportation. If such
law was passed, he declared, 1T
will not work, because it will not be
obeyed."
Employing interests in New York, !"
the statement said, apparently intend
to put forth every effort to bring about
the enactment of legislation patterned
after the court of industrial relations
act in Kansas. Not only will labor op-
pose such a measure but it will find
opposition wherever man and woman
understand the industrial world
''The proposed bill is wrong in prin-
ciple and contrary to the Constitution
of the United States, inasmuch as it
proposes to enforce compulsory labor
or involuntary servitude."
He added that neither strikes nor
lOckOuts had been prevented under
the industrial disputes investigation
act of Canada or the court of indus
trial relations act of Kansas.
The New York Central Trades and
Labor council adopted resolutions con-
demning proposals for compulsory in
corporation of trades unions and a
court of industrial relations. Such
laws, it was declared, cannot be en-
forced and will not be observed"

steel IndustrY ImprovInn.


The year 1921 passed out with more
plants resuming operations all over
Pennsylvania. There has been con-
siderable recent improvement in the
steel industry and the opening of the
new year saw many plants starting
up in whole or in part. The steel
mills are held the national industrial
barometer.
From the great centers Of Pitts
burgh, Youngstown, New Castle,
Sharon, McKeespOrt, Homestead, Brad
dock and other towns announcements
have come of a revival of trade.
Among the big mills the Carnegie
Steel and the American Sheet and
Tinplate company officials state their
mills are doing much better. The
great Westinghouse plants have re-
ceived enormous orders from Japan
and elsewhere. The Allegheny Steel
company has resumed operations.

not leave until FIVE; all the time count

to be a Beauty. Newland had not re-

Jnlia had never been born-and as
for Herbert Illingsworth Atwater,

was to send him to some strict mill

Florence's father telephoned to her
mother from downtown at three, and
said that Mr.. George Plum and the
ardent vocalist, Clairdyce, two of the
suitOrs, had just left his office. They
had not called in company, however,
but coincidentally; and each had
copy of the North End Daily OriOle,
already somewhat worn with folding
and unfolding. Mr.. Clairdyce's condi-
tion was one of desperate calm, Flor
ence's father said, but Mr.. Plum's agi-
tation left him rather unpresentable
for the street, though he had finally
gone forth with his hair just as he
had rumpled it, and with his hat in
his hand. They wished the truth, they
said: Was it true or was it not true?
Mr.. Atwater had told them that he
feared Julia was indeed engaged,
though he knew nothing of her
iance's previous marriage or mar
riages, or of the number Of his
previous children. They had respond
ed that they cared nothing about that.
This man Crum's record was a matter
of Indifference to them. All they
wanted to know was whether Julia
was engaged or nOt-and she was
'The odd thing to me-" Mr.. Atwater
continued, to his wife, "is where on
earth Herbert could have got his story

divorced, and with all these children.

the family about these things and they
haven't told the rest of us?"

It's Quicksilver, SaIivates, Causes

The next dose Of calomel you take
may salivate you. 1t may shock your
liver or start bone necrosis. Calomel
Is dangerous. 1t is mercury, quicksil-

dynamite, cramping and sickening you.
Calomel attacks the bones and should
never be put into your system.
If you feel bilious, headachy, constl-
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get bottle of Dod-
sons Liver Tone for few cents which
Is a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful
and If it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without making
you sick, you just go back and get your
money.
Don't take caEomel! 1t can not be
trusted any more than leopard or a
wildcat. Take Dodson's Liver Tone
which straightens you right up and
makes you feel fine. No salts neces-
sary. Give it to the children because
1t is perfectly harmless and can not

Six hundred employees of the Nash
Clothing company, Cincinnati, of
which Arthur Nash, known as
"Golden Rule" Nash, is president,
went to work at the beginning
Of the year richer and happier

cent, and adopting 4O-hour week
instead of a 44-hour week as in the
recent past.
At a meeting, Mr.. Nash told his en-
ployees that the business of the COM
pany had prospered under the Golden

put had increased to more than ST.

observed that the fingers held a sheet

Florence. Instead of pressing his
