RECOGNITION OF THE UNION Prime Obict of -the Striking , ; ; Electrical Linemen . SITUATION IS UNCHANGED Strike Has Interfered With Company's Eatra and New Work DEMAND A HIGHER WAGE SCALE ALL. ALONG THE LINE LOCAL LINEMEN STRUCK ON TUESDAY CUT THREE WENT BACK YES TERDAY MORNING TO .WORK. - SAN FRANCISCO; June 24. It li es timated that, there i are 1500. linemen employed by the Pacific States Tele graph & ' Telephone Company In; Cali fornia, Oregon, Washington, and Neya d o na strike. There waa little change today in the strike. President Sabis said that only half Ills men were on a strike He claimed to have plenty of men to do the ordinary duties, but said the strike Interfered with (he extra. work and the new work. He declared the greatest objections to the demands of th linemen was that none yut unr ion men should be employed. All" the linemen- belonging to the Electrical Workers &. Employes Union, emptoyed by the Pacific; States Tele phone & Telegraph Company, in the states of Oregon, , Washington, Idaho and California, have gone upon a strike because of the refusal of. the company to accede-to their demands for a high er wage scale. ; - 4 Pursuant to the order for the strike all of the linemen employed by the lo cal management6f the company walk ed out on Tuesday morning and refus ed to go to work. There are four line men ! employed by the; local office and only one of tliese belong to the Electri cal Workers Unlodu Yesterday morning three of them returned to work,- but the union man is still holding out. W4 H. Dancy, the manager of the lo cal office,, said yesterday that the elec trical workers, while to all avowed In tents and purposes are asking for high wages, the real object of the. strike is to enforce a recognition of the. union, demanding of the company that none but union men be employed In order to compel all of the non-union employes to Join the union. This the company has refused to do and threatens to fight the matter to the finish. - So far, and especially In Oregon, Mr. Dancy says the service of the company kas not been materially crippled,, but the force of help is cut down about one-fourth, and the situation is not at all serious from the company's point of ew,. But whether the ElecTtrical Workers Union will call upon other laboring unions to help them out with the strike, Mr. Dancy could not say, as he had not been informed as to what' the head management of the company anticipat ed In this respect. ; ' " Mr. Dancy says further that the members of the Electrical Workers Un ion are employed with all "the telegraph and telephone- lines in the . Western states and that the Pacific States Com pany was singled out for attack main ly because it employed the greatest number of men twt if thvarike proved successful in this case the precedent would be laid before the other com panies with the same1' demands. He does not think the electrical workers' cauf? warrants them In calling a strike fori the reason that they 'are receiving the highest wages paid and he does not think them strong enough to enforce "a recognition of the union.

Almost any grave change in health is at once betrayed " by the loss or flesh, which shows most often in the face. This con dition almost always co-exists with im poverished blood. A gain of flesh up to a certain point means a rise in other essentials of health ; the red corpuscles of the blood are increased, and the color improved. When" persons find them selves losing weight they snoma neea the warning, and use the proper means in time before disease fastens on them. A tonic alterative is needed to digest and assimilate the food, ; Cod-Liver Oil was the old fashioned remedy for a run-down svstetn, or a chronic wasting disease. , The digestion of the oil is a task for the healthiest stomach, end sensitive stomachs rebel against it. A great improvement in the means employed for the benefit and cure of such cases is Dr. Fierce s ooiden .Medical Discovery, which maintains the nutrition' of the bod y by "ena bling the person to eat, retain, digest and assimilate food. It overcomes indigestion if present, soothes the COTgh, and, by its alterative Pop- erties, cleanses the blood. All" the organs therefore are fed on pure, rich blood ; and the person using the Gold en-Medical Discovery " gains in' flesh and strength. Fe ver, night-sweats, headache, are dispelled.

Tried nearly a dozen patent medi cine without relief. I was so discouraged that I just about decided' catarrh could not be cured with any medicine. My father however, advised tnc to try Dr. Pierce'i medicines before giving up. I followed his advice and commenced using the medi cine on the twentieth of December. 1 was surprised to note the result of the first month's treatment After urinir sis bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, I was perfectly cuTed. It lias been months not had the least return of my trouble. I have felt beetter during the past two months than for seven winters previous to this time." ' Mrs. Lydia James, of Ogdensburg, Win writes: "In regard to your medicine will say that the 'Golden Medical Discovery' is a God-seud to suffering women. I was sick in bed with liver complaint and kid ney disease and fever when I began to Ute Dr. Pierce's Golden .Medical Discovery. In ten days' time I was so I could begin to get around the house, and gained right along. After that, took about tire bottles of it and am sure I would have been in my grave by this time had it not been for this remedy. I would advise all suffer, ing women to use Dr. Pierce's medicines. Mrs. Robt. Lamhden, of Havana, K. Dak., Box 94, writes : "No one can tell how much I suffered with my leg. It was so Ink for a year I could hardly walk around to do my work, and at times couldn't even bear ths weight of a sheet over me at night, hot your medicines enred me. My leg is qnile ; well .again. After I had taken two botdea of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, I began to feel very different and kept pet ting better. Took nine bottles of 'Widen, Medical Discovery, also used Dr. Fierce' All-Healing Salve, and now my leg is as well as it ever was Am willing; everyone should know what good your medicine have done, and would advise anr one suf fering as I did to try the same treatment.
