The strike of the members of the Hod Carriers and Commen Laborers’ union in a demand for seventy-five cents an heur for and an eight-hour day, with all d working condi- mise of sixty cents an hour, has succeed- ed in the partial hold-up of building work, and suspension, perhaps, for a year, of the construction work on the sewer system and the state highways within the town. The conditions have 2ise materially lessened the demand fer unskilled labor. The men have heen on strike for a month. As the compro- mise offer of the contractors was re- jected, the two main sources for this clase of laber has been suspended in- definitely. Aside frem the publie work, fer the mtate and the town, the largest job an which work had begun, just prior to She strike, is the enlargement of the plant of the Lorratme Manufacturing company, which involves new construction and the relocating of several dwellings.

The situation seems to be a test of endurance, as to which can hold out the loger .without financial re- turn, the employers or the employe. Thus far the honors seem to be about even. In_the meantime business Is re- ceiving short jabs and body blows that burt. With very few exceptions, the only idle men in Westerly are the union stone cuttérs now on the fifth week of their vacation, and the union hod carriers and common laborers, who are out on strike. While these men would not re- turn to their regular work without union sanction, some of them wonld readily ac- cept work in other lines, but in this they are barred by other organizstions connected with the Central Labor ‘{nion. The painting on the new silk mill building is being dome now by men who are affiliated with no labor uniong. Had the union men been permitted to remain on that and similar jobs about town, no union principle would be endangered and they would have received financial aid that would give them strength to bet- ter hold out and secure the demand for which they are on vacation or strike, In no sense did they take'the places of any other union men, and their calling off made way for men outside the unio therefore classed as unfriendly to organ ized labor. A sleuth is wanted to find the man or woman who pinched the handbag of an Alton woman at the rai Saturday morning. This woman ation her husband, mill operatives, were on a trip to New York and boarded the 10.45 train.

He has taken the matter up with the post office department and has received information that the sum of $75_a month will be allowed for transfef of the mail from Pleasant View to Weekaj®ug, three trips a day, or twenty-five trips a month. Sundmys ex- cluded. This contract is open for bids. The contract for transferring the mails between the Westerly post office and the railroad station has been award- ed to Frederick N. Tuckerman at $1800, he being the lowest responsible bidder. Years ago, before the construction of the present railroad station, when the distance between the station and the post office came within the limit where the railroad company was required to make the transfer, this work was done for years, without direct financial recom- pense, by the late James Welch, a local liveryman. In return for this transfer no public taxicabs or express wagons were allowed 6n railroad property, except those owned by Mr. Welch. Naturally he had a monopoly of the passenger and baggage business that came by train to Westerly. This was before the advent of automobiles, and he had many cabs and wagons to meet all trains, and did a big business, especiaily during the Watch Hill season. A few non-union laborers are at work | on the Pleasant View road, and from ! them comes a periodical report to U=} police department that the are to be at- tacked by union Taborers who are out on strike. At the beginning of the etrike the strikers did make a demonstration against these men and trouXye were averted by police interference. Chief Brown warned the strikers to keep away from the job. They promised to do so and have kept their promise. Chief Brown was advised by the fore- man of the gang that according to an arranged plan a large number of strikers was to assemble at the job at noon and give the workers opportunity to quit work or take the consequences. Chief Brown and a detail of policemen were at hand to prevent any disturbance, but there was nothing doing. Upon returning, Chief Brown interviewed one of the strike lead- ers and was assured that the strikers had no intention of making any trouble, but their purpose was to be orderly and not to violate the law.

Cinot seems to be the most talked of medicine today. Almost everywhere you go—in homes, offices, shops, factories, clubs and meeting-places of all kinds—you are almost sure to hear someone tell (?! the wonderful results secured by this “Miracle Medicine,” as it has been called. Scores who doubted the powers of this marvelous reconsir#® ion and m\’igorfl.nl have been prevailed upon to give it a trial and are now singing its praises. Here are just a few signed statements, selected at random, from the many which are being received daily from men and women everywhere. Read them carefully and see how true they ring. : Sour Gas Belched Up Into His Throat After Every Meal. Here's the story of how a new medicine just introduced has benefited a man, his wife and twelve-year-old son. It will make interesting reading for men and women afflicted with stomach trouble, no matter how slight or serious it may seem. The story is told by Mr. Edw. Goldsmith, the well-known cigar man. He says: “I had a terrible case of stomach dis- order and catarrh. “I could not even eat the simplest food because it would sour in my stomach and I would belch it up in my ‘throat and it burned like fire. I also had a bad case of catarrh, which increased my troubles. “I saw In the papers how much good the new Cinot medicine was doing for other people who' suffered from the same troubles as I had, and I decided to begin taking it also. I want to say publicly that Cinot is the only thing that ever brought me relief. It eased my stomach pains and it was not long before I could eat almost anything without being sorry afterwards. 1 did not know it would help my catarrh, but I am glad to say that 1 am entirely well. “My wife was all run down and my twelve-year-old son was puny. Both of them have also taken Cinot and they are like new people. I am tickled to pieces that I have found health for myself and family at last, and the beauty of it is, the price puts it within the reach of everyone. I gained five pounds while tak- ing Cinot.” Such praise as this told in the straight- forward, honest language of a cigar man, cannot but convince even the most skep- tical that here is a medicine for which the world has long been waiting. . Cinot is made entirely of natural herbs. It contains po mineral’ chemicals or any- thing to hurt the system. Read This Remarkable Story.

It was so bad that I had to walk with a cane. I am feeling fine and gladly recommend Cinot to all.

Cinot is credited with hundreds of cases similar to the above.
