Two combatants now

Dental science, after lorg research has
found two film combatants. One acts to
curdle film, one to remove it. Able authori-
ties have amply proved their efficiency.
Now leading dentists the world over are
urging their daily use.
A new tooth paste has been created,
based on modern research. 1t brings fve
effects now considered essential 1t avoids
several old mistakes.
This tooth paste is called Pepsodent.
And those two great film combatants are
embodied in it.

<" Jam Ship Subsidy
 Through" Is Cry of
 Frenzied Reaction

Washington, Nov Iz.-It IS now or never" with the ship subsidy bill, and every effort will be made to pass this license to loot before the present congress expires on March 1 next According to law, the last session of the present congress will convene the first Monday in December Time Is precious, however, and the President has called an extra session, beginning November 20. This gives two weeks extra time If the subsidy bill fails to pass before March 4 it is doomed, as It can never pass the new congress.
 This cnditoin makes 1t necessary to pass the bill before March 4. Ii can be damned f. trough the house in short order, as the house rules permit of closing debate and bringing a measure to vote quickly If the ma flame ducks" seeking federal appoint ment and the large majority in the house makes gag rule possible In the senate free discussion is the rule, except by a three-fourths vote. The opponents of the bill will not agree to stop debate. This means bitter hlibuster which may threaten passage of the important appropriation bills. In that event an extra session of the new congress would have to be called. The new congress is as popular with reaction as a smallpox sign, and no standpatter wants that congress in session one minute more than IS abso- lutel ynecessary. This would indicate that reaction will throw the ship sub sidy bill overheard if 1t finds that the filibuster endangers the appropriation bills.
 Opponents of subsidy point to the recent election. They insist that the haste with which the bill is urged and the special session called for that pur- pose Is proof that the proposal can not stand investigation, and that the new congress, with it's mandate from the people, would defeat the bill.
 Subsidy advocates decline to dis cuss the details of their plan to. loot. They just howl for a merchant ma rine and would create the impression that any one who opposes them is against an American merchant marine.

was the cause of the wonderful up- heaval. But the newspapers will not admit this, and this is a strong argu- ment why we should have a press of our own.
 The officers of the New York State Federation of Labor take no little credit for the result We feel that our bulletin service kept the members of unions informed as to what was -transpiring at Albany ase they were never informed before, and being in. formed, they were educated to pro tect their interests, and they did. That same service in an improved manner is to De continued. The men who take office on January l, 1923, will be judged by their acts. If they prove recreant to the trust reposed in them the members of every union in the is now awakened and aroused and they will know what to do We do not propose to = take anything for granted, By their acts they shall be judged. And Progress, and not Re action, shall be the standard.
 The members of the lodges of the railroad brotherhoods are deserving of praise for their splendid solidarity and cooperation with the workers in other industries in clearing the state government of it's reactionary officials We can truthfully say that our com bined efforts buried Mil1erisn and all it stood for, including proposed anti strike laws.

STRIKING SHOPMEN APPOINT COMMITTEE
 AS PRESS BUREAU
Three Members to Keep Public In formed of Real Conditions on
 New Haven Road.

So that the public will be able to get the real facts on the strike s1tua- ton on the New Haven road a com mittee has been appointed consisting of three shopmen, whose duty 1t will be to present the strikers version as we'll as daily data concerning the manner in which negotiations are progressing The reason for this move on the part of the strikers Is the contentoin raised at several meet ines that if the public were correctly informed as to the actual conditoin existing on the New Haven system that public opinion would force the road to end the strike which has been in effect since July Ist Of this year.
 According to the men the strike IS simply one to break up the shop mems union and in trying to do this suffer. Shipments are delayed because the rolling stock is in such deplor- able condition that even car load lots which under normal conditions are sent right through to their destina- toin, are now kicked off to some sid ing and then loaded into another car S othat repairs can be made in tenn porary way which will allow the car to be brought to a terminal.
 Strikers also claim that the acci- dent which happened al Cornwall, N. Y, in which four men ~ ere killed Is liable to happen oh the New Haven system at any time Tn fact 1t Is the catise of considerable surprise that 1t has not already happened Even the engineers are getting so that they are afraid to take out their trains as they know the class of men who are talk in gthe places of the strikers and the poor workmanship exhibited on the cars which have left their hands after being repaired.
 The strikers also take a slam at the Inter rstate Commerce Commission claiming that if the latter body was on it's job the New Haven road would not be allowed to- violate the law as they are doing every day.
 While the main line from New Ha- ven to New York shows the trains to be running nearest to schedule time, the strikers know that the other divisions are suffering so that the best of the engines can be used on this division here. 1t IS nothing tor trains to pull in hours late every day at other points and it Is these facts which the strikers are determined to present to the public to offset the "bunk' without a particle of truth i'll it which the New Haven road carreis in the daily papers.
 There will be a big mass meeting Sunday evening at which all the union men O fthe city are invited Speakers of national reputation will be on hand but as definite arrangements have not as yet been completed it is expected that the men will be given the details at the regular Saturday meeting.

FEUDAL LUMBER BARONS EXPOSED
 BY ORGANIZED TIMBER WORKERS

Seattle, Nov. I7.-Strenuous pub licity efforts are being made by R. A Long, lumber king and head of the Long-Bell Lumber Company, to coun- teract the propaganda of the Timber Workers Union, which Is exposing his anti-union tactics, his paternalism and his company union"
 The timber workers point to Weed, Cal, as sample of Mir. Longs in terest in the workers. To get rid of the union the manager of the Weed mills organized a plant council" i" which, he explained, was done to "ex- tend the hand of fellowship" That was in March, last year. A wage cut of ST a day was immediately en- forced. Ten days later another cut of 40 cents a day was made
 This plant council said Harry w. Call, secretary-treasurer of the Inter national Union of Timber Workers, Twas composed of the department superintendents and one employe from each department, appointed by his superintendent, to serve for a period of not less than 90 days. All em- ployes must submit their grievances in writing to this delegate, who, in turn, presents them to the monthly meeting of the council, the meeting being composed of the superlntendents of the various departments.

Save Railway Act,
 Cry Business Men

New York, Nov I7.-Election re- suits alarm railroad inanciers, who fear that an assault will be made on the Cumnins-Esch act. They espe- cially fear an attempt to repeal the section that takes from the various states the right to regulate railroads wholly within that state. The rail roads would rather do business with central head not directly responsi- b1e to the people, than with officials of the various states.
 The alarm of the railroads is 1-n creased because of the passing of so many of their friends from the sen ate, and the necessity for re-organ- izing the important senate interstate commerce committee. When the next regular session of congress convenes the commerce committee roll will not include such names as Townsend of Michigan, Poindexter of Washington, Kellgg of Minnesota, Frelinghuysen of New Jersey, Myers of Montana and Pomerene of Ohio.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
 OPPOSES JURY TRIAL

Chicago, Nov. 17.-Railroad shop men demand that they be accorded a jury trial when opposing continu- ance of the Daugherty injunction. The department of justice denies that the shop men are entitled to jury trial on the ground that "the issues in volved are questions of law"
 The shop men are resisting the de- Dartment's attempt to have the injunc- ton made permanent The shop men want the injunction dissolved, while the department insists that conspir- acv. civil war and revolution are abroad in the land, and that the in junction is necessary to save the country from collapse.
 These are the points that the de partment of justice refuses to submit to jury.

Commissioner Bennett, who is plan ming to attend the convention per- sonally, in discussing the matter early in the week, said that plans for meeting the eacute shortage of com mon labor, which IS reflected particu4 larly in road construction, were to be considered by the convention and that there was sentiment for the adoption of aresolutlon a memoral1zing congress to relieve the situation by lifting the bars. Commissioner Bennett said that there had been such falling of III available common labor as to seri- ously handicap road work during the coming year if conditions are other wise normal and that something should be done
 The lateness of the fall weather alone made 1t possible for the Con necticut highway department, in the face of the shortage of workingmen, to push through the important phases of. its 1922 construction pro- gram. We get the work dressed lip" said the commissioner, "but won't have time to part the hair"
 Commissioner Bennett said that such a plan IS rendered irnpracticable at present by the inability of the de partment to get enough labor to build several trunk line roads simultane- ously, as would be required under such plan.
 More than three times the number of laborers now engaged in state highway construction would have to be immediately available, said the commissioner, for, as matters now stand in the labor market, the state wouldn't be able to spend the money and get the most out of every dollar. It would result in different road con tractors bidding against each other for labor, he believed, and thus send up the cost of construction without greatly increasing the working force toward the required strength
 For the past four years, the state highway department has been spend ing about $7,5oo,ooo a, year for road constructoin and maintenance
 A careful perusal of the statement of Commissioner Bennett will show that the commissioner IS afraid that the state will have to pay living wage if the ban on immigration Is still retained. But if they are success ful in having the restrictions modified and the cheap labor allowed to come here it will only be short time be- fore the real people behind the smoke screen sent out by the highway com will be able to fill the fac tories with this cheap help taking the places of American vo-kingmen.

To the Wage Workers of New York
 State:
 The general election for 1922 has come and gone, and Labor has carried out its promise-or was ii threat- to Governor Miller and the reaction ary legislatures of 1921 and 1922. They know there was an election. This IS a time for felicitation. The undersign- ed members of the State Non-Partisan Campaign Committee extend hearty congratulations to the organized wage-earners for the splendid and united manner in which they respond ed to the calE of the officers of. the New York State Federation of Labor to get rid of the present state officials. It is the first time in the history of the Labor movement that wage-earn- CTS stood shoulder to shoulder on the political field as they do on the i'm dustrial field There was evidently no thought of political party utilization Ill the minds of the workers We only thought of protecting our rights as citizens and the protection of the laws which safeguard our industrial life, which took women and children outside the realm of slavery by pro- stecting their hours of labor and safe guarding the conditions of employ ment. We also gave thought to what had been done to the workmen's com pensation law. Ii was these thoughts only which possessed us as we march ed in solid phalanx to the polls. The selfish open-shoppers" and the un- patriotic American plan" advocates know now that Labor can forget political party ties and vote to uphold their own rights and interests when they are assailed as they have been for the past two years.
 As rule the newspapers were op- posed to us and now they are hypo- critically wondering what was the cause of the tremendous tip over If they were honest and willing to ad- init 1t, they would only have to study the returns to find the real cause. Every industrial center in the state voted one way. This was ample evi- dence that Labor was dissatisfied and
