Judge Jesse Holdom In a decision rendered in a labor union assault case growing out of a strike, upheld In forcible language the rleht of any man to work at any iubor with which he is satisfied. The case was that of Albert Hill of the Lathers' Union, who was charged with assaulting James Kelly, another mem ber of the union, because of his refusal to stop work on a building where a strike was In progress. The defendant's attorney pleaded with the court that inasmuch as his client already had served some time in Jail and had suffered so much from the flp-lif he fhould not be punished any more. "No. the ma'lter Is more serious than TTlS 9 rears Mi Economical soap is one'' tkit.a tqtafch oC cleinsesj' Pears! . shaving - soap is the best in "all the world.

Wh'n Kelly was at work on a contract with whk'h he was sat isfied, neither the prvsljent of the U. S, nor any official or Individual had any right to Interfere with him. True, Ke ly was a member of the union, as was Hill. He-had a right to be and it was Ma duty to obey Ch rul of the union When he refused, however, the union had Its redress In disciplining him and expelling him. It hs-l no rlrh: to send a commit: io Inte.-fV're wiih him and assault him. "Let us not forget these basic prin I olpU's of our liberty. We hi America boast a liberty unknown els "here, la this instance the effect of the dsault was not -n Kelly alone, but upon the principles of our constitutional rights "I do not want to be understood as I being onrnvseil to unions.

March JO.-Eighteen bal lots were taken without . nomination 1 the fourteen members' who remained out last night being again absent. The con test apparently has settied down to a testof strength between Edward Rose water and George P. Meiklejohn. It reouires forty-five votes to nominate in caucus. The supporters of P. E. Thompson, nominated last nipht for the stK'r: term, are HievAi to be about enual'.y J: vid ei between Rosewater and M'ikU-john. The friends of Rosewat-T assert that, under the agreement which made last night's caucus possible, Thompson : cannot rlaim an election in the legis lature, even If that should happen, un til both senators are nominated.. Part of Thompson's following will not con cur In this opinion, but they say they are willing to allow a reasvmible lensrth of time for the long term deadlock to end before pressing the election of Mr. Thompson in the legislature.

This deadly poison may lay dormant in the blood for years, or until you reach middle life, then the first little sore or ulcer makes, its ap pearance or a swollen gland in the breast, or some other part of the body, gives the first warning. To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma nently all the poisonous virus must be iliminated from the blood every vestage H it driven out. This S. S.
