Nezv Xeny;S Greetings
 

Why not start the New Year by paying that long overdue bill you owe your doctor? And by so doing make 1t possible for him, in turn, to meet his own obligations? You have confidence in his judgment; you acknowledge his skill; there are times when his services are indispensable. You trust him as you trust no one else, with your very life itself and with the lives of those most dear to you at times when suf- terlng and anxiety have warped your own judgment and left you helpless. Yet are you sure you have given him any substantial reason for believing he can trust you? From the first great moment of birth to that last tragic hour when death closes the scene you depend upon him, and often on him alone for aid, sympathy, understand ing. Why not make new resolve to remember what you owe him, along with your indebtedness to others who are, perhaps, more insistent in their demands?

R, & K,SILk MILL
WORKERS STRIKE

PATERSON, N. j., Feb. 8. =
Workers of the R. & K. Silk Co. of
this city have gone out on strike
in unanimous protest against ten
per cent wage cut which the bosses
attempted to put over.
About % workers are effected by
the walkout which is tying up the
shop.
Following the walkout the strik-
ers held mass meeting and i'm
mediately sent for an organizer
from the National Textile Workers
Union.
They then joined the National
Union in a body.
The National Textile Union is
making every effort to tie up shops
doing contract (commission) work
for the same bosses as the R. & K.
Co. serves.
A membership meeting of the Ma
tional Textile Union, Paterson, will
be held at 2:30 p. m. tomorrow at
Oakley Hall, 211 Market St. James
Reid, president of the National Tex
tile Workers. Union, will address
the membership.

FILIPINOS IN
TARIFF FIGHT
Misleaders Would Stop
Independence Drive

MANILA, Feb. 8. = The special
session of the Philippine legisla-
ture called to meet next month will
probably send the president of the
Senate, Manuel Quezon, to Washing
ton to appear before the U. S. Con-
gress and ask that either the pres
ert tariff on products Of the Phil
ipprnes remain, or that the islands
be given their independence.
Quezon, who represents anti-labor
native capitalist and pro-imperialist
interests in the Islands, is only
fake advocate of independence, and
uses, as at present, the independ-
cnce demand of the Filipino masses
as thing to sell for favors to be
given native capitalists by Ameri-
can imperialism. When forced by
the demands of the masses of the
population he merely raised his
voice formally against U. S. i'm
perialistic exploitation.
The bill before congress which
Quezon and his crowd object to is
the Undertake resolution which
would limit the duty-free imports
into the United States of sugar
from all countries to 100000 tons
and place all sugar bove this figure
from points now favored on the
same tariff basis as imports from
points which do not now receive
preference.
