ALL OUT OF SORTS?
So Was This Skowhegan Woman Who
Tells Her Experience.

All too often women accept their
pains and aches as natural to their
sex. They fail to realize that weak
kidneys are often to blame for that
backache, those headaches, dizzy spells
and that tired, depressed feeling.
Thousands have found new health and
strength by helping the weakened
kidneys with Doan's Pills-a stimulant
diuretic. This Skowhegan case is one
of many:
Mrs. Joe Cheney, So Court St, says:
Every morning | would wake up
with dull ache across my back and |
could hardly get about. had pains
in the back of my head, too, and my
kidneys were in bad shape and at
times had no control over them.

DRIVE AGAINST GOODS MADE IN
 PRISON SCORES

Chicago July 12,-"Happy Home Aprons" no longer find a home at The Fair one of the city's big department stores.
 A big sale of these apron, which are made by the Sterling Co. in the Ana nosa prison in Iowa, was announced by The Fair Kate Richards O'Hare. who is crusading against prison-made goods and who happened to be in the city, 4marshalled the forces of labor and liberalism against the store, which was bonbarded by telegrams, special delivery letters, and irate callers. The sales girls agreed that more protesters than buyers appeared. On the day following the opening of the sale, the store capitulated to public sentiment and boxed up and returned the 42OO0 aprons which bore the stigma of con vict labor. Never again!" says the manager.
 Mrs. O'Hare- has members of the Women's Trade Union League now combing the city to find stores selling Big Yank work-shirts, against which similar action will be taken.

Bardo Again Defies
 R. R. Labor Tribunal
Refuses to Pay Increased Salaries Awarded Clerks and Station Men.

Despite the fact that the Railroad Labor Board has decreed that the pay of railroad clerks and station workers should be increased, General Manager Bardo of the New Haven Road sets himself up as superior to the board and has declined to meet the order. His def also extends to the New Eng land road which the New Haven owns and controls and to the New England Steamship lines which the road does not own but nevertheless under the present order apparently does.
 The clerks took 1t passively, as they have taken several other of Mir. Bar dos dehes of the Railroad Labor Board orders, notably the one that granted them back pay which they did not re- ceive. Now the whole case is going up for review to the labor board. Mir. Bardo will probably again defy the decision but the clerks may not be so submissive next time.

Death Of ''Tom" Reilly
 Takes True Labor Friend
UNIONS MEMBERSHIP
 IS NOT COURT ISSUE

New York, July 12-Again has a high court ruled that voluntary asso- citations, as a trade union, have sole .control over their membership and courts can not pass judgment on such control.
 Affirmation of this rule was made by the appellate division of the supreme court in vacating an injunction secured by David Simons, former head of the Web Pressmen's Union in this city, against President George L. Berry, and other officers of the International Printing Pressmen's and Assistants Union.
 Simons directed the, outlaw strike of pressmen in this city last fall. That unions charter was revoked and Simons was refused membership in the new local He sued to compel the in ternational officers to reinstate him and when he lost his case he secured court order against officers of the international form interfering with him in any employment and from call ing out the pressmen in any place in which he might be employed, because of such employment. This injunction has been set aside by the appellate division. The court said: There is no doubt that defendant was within its rights in rejecting plaintiffs appli- cation for membership" Concluding the opinion, Justice McAvoy said:
 Plaintiffs status before the court is that of a new applicant seeking to compel the defendant union to admit him. Whether to grant or refuse mem bership in a voluntary association is a matter under complete control of the itself, and the ruling is not subject to review by the courts"
 The outlaw strike involved practi- cal1y every newspaper in this city. The entire structure of contracts was by the outlaws. and to maintain the unions integrity, the in ternationa1 was compelled to throw it's resources against the illegal strike.

GOLDEN RULE"
 NASH HAS GOLD BRICK FOR WORKERS
Worker Gets Lots of Things Free" but Finds Strings Tied
 to Them.

Cincinnati, Juyl 12.-So anxious is Golden Rule" Nash, the non-union clothing manufacturer of Cincinnati to avoid becoming a millionaire that he is employing methods deemed akin to the gold brick variety, in the opinion of many of his employees.
 Nash recently got much capitalist press publicity by his published an nouncement that he was giving away $6OO,O0O In stock to his employees be- cause he hated to become a million aire. The $6OO,000 was a stock divi- dend declared by his concern which overworks its employees at less than union wages.
 Organizer Joseph C. Haering of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers finds that no employe gets anything free from the golden rule boss unless he was previously the owner of two shares of stock in the concern, which entitle him to the regular stock divi- dend. All other workers, before re- ceiving the two free" shares, must buy two shares for cold cash from golden rule Nash Workers having one share must buy another with real money before the two free shares are forthcoming. Low wages prevent many from buying the necessary stock.
 After getting the free stock the em- p1oye finds that it's voting power is retained for five years by Nash. If an emp1oye dies before the five years or is fired the free stock reverts to the phi1anthropic Nash. In the meantime the employe-owner cannot sell the free stock to which he becomes entitled by purchase or two other shares for cash unless Nash consents.
 Haering who ran down these and other facts about the golden rule non union clothing shops, reports that un- ion propaganda is finding ready listen CTS in the Nash factory.
