Just recently, Mrs. Minnie Mason,
popular local lady, living at 452
Haugh Street, this city, made the
following statement to the Konjola
Man at Hooks drug store, Pennsyl-
vania and Market Streets, where he
is explaining this surprising remedy
to large crowds daily.
"I've certainly found blessed re-
lief in your Konjola, and I don't
hesitate to tell the public about such
a splendid medicine" said Mrs. Ma
son. II was relieved almost at once
of those terrible pains in my side
and back, and at the same time Kon-
jola made a great change In my
whole general system, so that I be-
gan to. enjoy good health in every
way.
IT had been troubled with my
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels.
Every meal I ate caused heavy,
Aloated feeling in my stomach. so
mat my heart would skip beats. I
became short of breath, and al
ways had a hot, burning SEN
saticn from my throat to stom-
ach. was bilious most all the
time, had sick headaches every day
and would get so light-headed and
dizzy that I had to sit down and
rest several times throughout the
day. The condition of my kidneys
got so bad that sharp, agonizing
pains would center in my side and
back, and my limbs and ankles were
swollen.
90 Il was in this terrible state of
health when I got my first bottle
of Konjola. Before it was half gone
i noticed my stomach was so i'm
proved that l could eat almost any,
thing and my digestion was fine.
The awful back pains left me about
the second day and never returned.
I've taken five bottles of Konjola
how, and anyone can notice the
great change in my whole appear
sance. All the bloating, belching and
heartburn is gone and my stomach
is in wonderful condition. / don't

PARLIAMENT TO
: Be BATTLEFIELD
OF LABOR FIGHT.
Tory Party to Measure Out
Punishment for
Unions.
BIZ NEA Serrice

BIZ NEA SerCice
LONDON, Sept. 10.-Observers
who thought the general strike or
five months ago was the greatest
labor struggle Of all time will have
an opportunity to change their
thinking.
The greatest struggle, it appears,
will take PLACE this fall, and the bat
tlefield will be in Parliament.
The die-hards of the Tory party
are collecting strength for a mighty
offensive against union labor. They
will attempt to measure out punish
ment for the general strike and bind
labor forever against dominating the
government again or tieing up in
dustry.
Tories Are Bold
Emboldened by the collapse of the
strike, the Tories plan to put the
unions in a straight jacket as tight
as the one imposed in Italy by Mus
solini. There are just two lettering
factors-Premier Baldwin, titular
head of the Conservative party, who
rs unwilling to pursue a policy OF
Eevenge, and in the second place,
the fear that extreme measures
would cause such a revulsion of SEN
timent that conservatism would be
defeated in tn next election.
The leader of the resistance will
be the former premier, Ramsay Mac
Donald.
The die-hard program briefly is:
/. Amendment of the trades dis
pute act, to make unions liable for
damages where they enter wrong
fully upon a strike.
2-Secret ballots by union mem
bers-under government supervision
before a strike can be declared.
3-Drastic limitation of picketing
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1926-09-10

4-Protection Of Conservative and
Liberal Unionists from obligation to
pay dues which would be used in
backing the Labor party politically.
Strike Vote Asked
The object OF the proposition to
require a complete secret ballot be-
fore a strike may be Called is in
tended to prevent sudden or general
strikes. The Conservatives say, also.
that ballot stuff1ng would be easy
unless there is government control,
and therefore they demand such
control.
This argument was furnished by
the extraenous comment of a judge
who passed on a labor case during
the recent general strike.
The court gave it as it's opinion
that any strike called by a union
or it's officials, without a ballot when
its rules require one, is illegal, in
that its funds can't be used for the
purposes of the strike. 1t held fur
Their that any application Of union
funds in support of breach Of con-
tract in organizing strike-ballot
or no ballot-was illegal.
Wedr Attack
But oven wider attacks upon la
Dor are planned, both by acts of
omission and commission.
The die-hards are afraid that Ia
Dor may get command of the House
of Commons. Therefore while they
have majority, they want to re
form" the House Of Lords. Under
the Liberal government. Of H. H.
Asquith, now Lord oxford. the lords
were shorn of most Of their power.
Practically all veto of money bills
was taken away from them. Die.
hards visualize a labor government
passing some sore of capital levy,
with the lords helpless to block it,
Therefore. they want a smaller
house. of lords in which some of the
members would be hereditary and
others elective by representative
bodies of the community. They want
this house of lords to pass on
money bills and to have other
authority. In other words, they
want a fairly permanent block in
the path of the labor government
if one ever again materializes.
ACOnspicuOus Omission
The present Tory government is
also responsible for a notable act of
omission. In washington in 1919 a
draft convention was adopted de-
signed to limit working hours to
eight per day and forty-eight per
week. Last March at a conference
in London the min listers OF labor of
Belgium, France, Germany, Great
Britain and italy signed an agree
ment on its Interpretation.
Belgium recently kept its words
and passed the necessary bill. In
Germany a bill has been drafted for
submission to the Reichstag. France
has done nothing. Italy increased
the working hours. The present
government of Great Britain allowed
parliament to adjourn without
taking any steps at all. on the other
hand, it adopted a permissive' bill,
allowing coal miners to work longer
hours
