ALIENS ARE MENACE

Allentown, Pa.--"There is no more
important subject to consider than the
restriction of further admission to
this country of the unemployed sur
plus labor of Europe, which has shown
itself to be dangerous to the welfare
of American labor" says David Will
liams, editor of the Pennsylvania
Labor Herald.
The labor editor points out that
when railroad shop employees returned
to work they found that employers
used "these alien strikebreakers" to
beat down wages and working condi-
tions.
"Any business man knows that he
does not get the trade from the low
paid foreigner that he gets from the
higer-paid organized workers. Yet
how often do we find the business
man, who must depend upon.the trade
from those who work for wages, lin
ing up with the manufacturers who
want to cut down wages.
'sThe United States is of some size,
but not big enough to assimilate the
unemployed population of Europe and
maintain our present standards of -liv-
ing. Failure to protect the wage
earners will cause suffering and trou-
BILE later on."

SERF EXISTENCE
For Workers Guarded
Against By Union

Chicago. - The Bakery Workers
Union rescued workers in this indus
try from life of serfdom, and also
guarded the public health.
In former days employers had sole
power over working conditions, just
as the Ward Baking Company now
demands when it rejected an agree
ment with the union, and insists on
the anti-union shop.
"We remember keenly," says Editor
Hohmann, of the Bakers Journal,
"when the bakers of our country were
in the most deplorable condition.
SAT that time men in the bake shops
were often compelled to work 1s
hours day for hardly any wages and
amid indescribable surroundings. The
work shops were located in most in
stances in dark and filthy cellar holes
where no ray of sunshine entered
Down there these men-and in great
many cases also their employers
were compelled to spend the create,
part of their lives.
when in these days on Saturday

hours of rest usually spent in a
boarding house saloon frequented by
their fellow workers, who tried to get

drinking and gambling to temporarily
forget their miserable existence) you
met some of these haggard and pale
faced men on the street, showing the
unmistakable imprint of the consump-
tive and over-worked, you were nine
times out of ten, correct in classifying
them as bakery workers"

u. S. CIVIL EMPLOYEES
URGE HIGHER ANNUITY

Washington. - Organized govern
ment employees, affiliated to the A. F.
of L., will urge upon congress the
need for improving the present re-
tirement act. These unionists are
working through the joint conference
on retirement, which they have or
ganized for that purpose.
Under the present law railway
mail clerk is retired at the age of 62,
post office clerk at the age of 65 and
other government employees at the age
of 10. The maximum annuity is $700.
The joint conference has indorsed
a bill prepared by Congressman He'll
bach, which increases the maximum
! annuity to $1,000, and provides for
retirement after 80 years service, re-
gardless of age.

STATE LOSES GAS
APPEAL

Washington.-The United States
supreme court has ruled that the state
of West Virginia can not control its
natural gas. In an effort to conserve
this resource, the state limited the
amount of gas that could be sold out
side the state. Industries beyond the
state line that depend on the gas
challenged this law. The case has
been before the supreme court several
times. The court set the law aside
on the ground that natural gas enter
ed into interstate commerce the mo-
mant it entered pipe lines.

FAMILY OF BOY
Lashed to Death in Southern
Prison Camp Gets
$4,000

Langdon, N. Dak.-The parents of
Martin Tabert, the boy who was
whipped to death last year in Flor
ida convict camp, has received $4,000
from the Putnam Lumber Company.
The Tabert family started suit
against the company, and the money
is intended to end these proceedings
This action will not effect the trial of
Walter Higginbotham, who lashed
young Tabert in the Florida prison
camp, where he died in a delirium on
February l, last year.
The young man had been arrested
in Florida for stealing a ride on a
freight train. He was fined $25, and
in default of payment was sentenced
to 90 days in Jail. He was then leased
to the Putnam Company's lumber
camp. His family sent money to pay
the fine, but they were informed by
the sheriff that he had departed.
At the trial it was proven that
county officials worked together in Sc
curing unfortunates for these convict
camps. Higginbotham, the whipping
boss, was convicted on the charge of
second degree murder and his case is
now before the Florida state supreme
court on appeal.
North Dakota officials went to Flor
ida and assisted in the prosecution.
The exposures developed strong
public opinion and the Florida legis-
lature abolished the convict leasing
system

CAN'T FASTEN GUILT
IN THEATRE CRASH

Washington.-The district court of
appeals has affirmed a decision by a
lower court which quashed an indict-
ment for manslaughter growing out
of the collapse Of the Knickerbocker
theatre in this city on January %,
1922, when 100 persons lost their
lives.
The Indictment failed, said the
court, to state facts, and to set forth
with the utmost clearness" the facts
upon which criminal negligence is
leaking. The indicted men were the
architect, building inspectors ant
foremen.

was one of the many evidences of the
practical interest of President Hard
ing in the work of the Boy Scouts
of America. Under the conditions of
the roundup effort the president was
awarding a streamer to each troop
and to each local council, and pre-
senting a personal letter to the pre-
sident of every local council earning
25 per cen increase in membership
over a stated time. Mr.. West ex-
planned that the death of the presi-
dent automatically brought the round
up to an end as it would manifestly
be impossible to carry out the terms
and conditions under which the
roundup was inaugurated for any
future effort. All those who have
qualified up to date will receive the
awards as promised.
The New York office has advised
that a material reduction in official
B. S. A. equipment has been made.
This will be good news for all troops
as well as those who have yet to pur-
chase uniforms and scout equipment.

GERMANS ANXIOUS over
POOR CROP PROSPECTS

Berlin-(A. P.)-Germany's food
situation has reached what was called
the "bagman" stage in the Russian
collapse. City folks must now travel
to the country and get their food
stuffs, unless they want to pay the
e~xtortionate prices asked by food
spectators.
Suburban trains are crowded by
men and women carrying vegetables,
milk, butter, meat and other supplies
which local retailers in almost all
German cities are unable to provide
under present conditions. Farmers
who have food supplies insist upon
payment in foreign money. AS re-
tailers must sell for German paper
marks, their business is at a stand
still.
A well-dressed man who was walk
ing along Inter den Linden carrying
an expensive alligator case, found
himself recently the center of an
envious group when his case burst
open and potatoes rolled out over
Berlin's most fashionable boulevard.
Berlin h~ouseholders are already be-
ginning to seek their winter supply
Of vegetables, and food scouts are
travelling throughout the potato dis
tricts making contracts for families.
Field workers strikes and a cold,
spring-the coolest, wettest
spring in some 200 years have ma

vest, which otherwise would have

When you face the day
with system clogged by poisoms

1t is these muscles which, by a series of
powerful contractions, keep the waste prod
ucts moving. Nature intended us to stimulate
and exercise them regularly-instead our
modern diet lets them get soft and habby.
They fail to act. Day by day posons flood
our system.
At last people realizing that cathartics
and purgatives are worse than useless. Not
only do they upset digestion by tearing away
the food in the body while the system is still
at work on it-but they require larger and
larger doses in order to blast their way through.
Evening star., 1923-05-13

VOU know the feeling. Aching fore
/ head, a torpid brain, your whole
body heavy and ifeless.
1t is because your system is clogged
with the poisons of constipation. AS
one noted authority says:
"Constipated individuals often feel
tired all day. and disinclined for either
mental or physical exertion. They may
suffer from insomnia. and are apt to
wake unrefreshed.
Ioddy-dn almost universal
tendency
The human body like any other engine,
throws off every day great. quantity
of waste. 1t can no more run efficiently
with this waste piling up inside than
gasoline motor can run if you stop up
the exhaust.
That is why so many ailments can be traced
back to constipation. Unless this waste IS
kept moving, it stagnates and turns to deadly
poisons that flood the whole system. And so
the first thing that doctors want to know
no matter what you consult them for-is
whether you are regularly getting rId OF
these poisons.
The real reason 7Ohy thousands
suffer
Our whole mode of life is unnatural today.
We take less and less physical exercise. We
work under constant nervous strain. And in
stead of the coarse, raw foods of the forest for
which our bodies were built, our modern
civilization demands a delicate, concentrated
diet which gives the muscles OF our intestines
no real work to do.
Evening star., 1923-05-13

And at last the intestinal muscles, weakened
still further by this artificial purging, refuse
to respond at all!
The only way to relieve constipation
permanently is by exercising the intes-
final muscles as Nature intended
That is why physicians and hospitals are
prescribing Fleischmann's Yeast today-not
as medicine, but as fresh corrective food
which gives the intestinal muscles regular,
natural exercise.

which mix with the waste products in the
colon, softening them and increasing the bulk
of the waste. This greater bulk gently encour-
ages the muscles to act and at the same time
STRENGTHENS them by offering just the resist
ance they need.
Your own physician will heartily endorse
this principle of regularly exercising the in
testinal muscles as the only way to relieve
constipation and all its evils. Be sure you
get Fleischmanns Yeast-yeast in its natural
fresh form. Recent experiments have shown
that yeast corrects constipation only when
its cells are alive and active-and that it

their sad bereavement.
In her own wide-open doorway,
With the green boughs overhead.
The house all garnished and swept
And the plentiful table spread.
She has stood to welcome our coming,
Watching our upward climb
In the sweet June weather that brought us
Oh, many and many time
Again is her doorway opened.
And the house is garnished and sweet.
But she silently waits for our coming.
And we enter with silent feet.
A little within she is waiting,
Not where she has met us before.
For over the pleasant threshold
She is only to cross once more.
The smile on her face is quiet.
And flower is on her breast;
Her hands are folded together
And the word on lips is rest"
1t is we who may not cross over;
Only with song and prayer,
A little way. into the glory
We may reach as we leave her there.
But we cannot think of her idle;
She must be a homemaker still,
God giveth that work to the angels.
Who fittest the task fulfil.
And somewhere yet in the hilltops
OF the country that hath no pain,
She will watch in her beautiful doorway
To bid us welcome az ain.
A FRIEND.
