Social-DemOcrats Back
Seipel Regime Against
Government Employees

wireless to the Daily Worker)
VIENNA, Dec. 1.-THE social
democrats in parliament today voted
for the governments proposal to
grant the postal employees a thirty
per cent increase in wages instead of
the 100 per cent demanded by the
workers.
The social-democrat excused their
opposition to the demands of the
workers by saying that otherwise
the government would not have
granted anything.
Fifty thousand employees in the
governments postal and telephone
service are in strike of passive
resistance to force the regime to
give them an increase in wages.

Stops
Digestive
Troubles

The greatest obstacle to permanent relief from Indigestion
and its attendant lls-dysPepsia, gas. excess acid. boating,
heartburn, sour stomach, that stirred feeling, constipation, bad
breath, sick headache. irritability. etc, is fermentation (souring
Of food matter in the stomach and bowels) which inhames and
irrtates these organs and produces gas that causes much dis
Eess. Fermentation can be stopped only with an antiseptic.
Gordon's (named for its discoverer) being an internal anti
septic combined with the most effective digestants, goes right
to the seat of digestive troubles. It stops fermentation, soothes
and heals any irritated or inhamed condition, drives out tho
posons and quickly stimulates the stomach and bowels to their
normal functions. A few doses will convince you. A large
e-ounce bottle. $1-50-less than 8 cents u dose. At
Eagle Pharmacy and other druggists.
