for Strenuous Hours
NEW YORK, April 12. Samuel
Gompers, America's veteraa labor
leader, was eulogized here today by
former President William II. Taft
as the man who in 19 IK had "stab
ilized" the workers of the world and
helped win the war when German
P' una dan gists had divided the ranks
of labor abroad and were scheming
to brine about a negotiated peace.
Speaking at a luncheon given by
the National Civic Federatioa to the
; president of the American Federa
tion of Labor and his four colleagues
on the American labor mission, who
yhave just returned from the peace
conference, Mr. Taft said he wished
fto pay his respects to "union labor
Headers wno achieved: a great tntng
j not only for o:-ganised labor, but for
the allies and toward the winning
of the war."
Mr.-Taft declared a great respon-
ibiiity now rented on organized la-
r and capital to avert the spread
f insidious apd destructive ananh-
stic doctrines' from ab.oad. lie ai-
ocated "collective bargaining" and
id that his experience as a nien.-
of the war labor board had con
vinced bim that the woikers have a
right to sit in counsel tth employ
ers aad discuss such questions as
production, conls, wages and thw
hours wf la 'tor.
"We must all capitalists and
workers and I he people letween
welcome and encourape that part of
labor which has a sense of respon
sibility for the g3vernnent and for
the country," he asset ted. adding,
that rfwonnsiliilitv 1.4 lo be found
! in tbe ranks of orgajizrd labor and
among their" present leaders.'
Mr. Gompers told how tbe five
American delegates to the Paris con
ference had ought at 31 "grinding
daily sessions of from three to seven
hours each," to uphold the ideals of
democracy and, by argument and
wersuaMon. finally won a majority
of their 88 foreign coaferees to their
point of view.

If the line vt communication (the spinal cord) be intrrf erred

the body does not function normally. This co-called disease, press

Got a CORN
You Don't' Want?
Safe to say if you have any corns
at all. you don't want them.
Neither do we, but we can, by sug
gestion, show you the ready means
to relieve their ache and distress
and afterwards take them out.
Just try OUR CORN REMEDY.
Isn't that a good suggestion? A
few cents invested, a few moments
to apply it, a few time3 used, and
that is the end cf the corn.
