UNIONS ATTACK
INDUSTRIAL LAW
IN KANSAS COURT
Constitutionality of Tribunal
Questioned as Result of In
junction Suit to Prevent
Mine Tieup.
Pittsburg, Kan., April 27. Tl
law which created the Kansas court
of industrial relations was put to a
tet in the Kansas judicjal ma
chinery today. Opponents of the
law, centered around Alexander
Howat, chieftain of the Kansas
union miners, this morning attacked
it as unconstitutional when the in
junction hearing in the case insti
tuted by the state to prevent the
calling of a mine strike came up be
fore Judge Andrew J. Curran in the
Crawford county district court.
On March 30 Judge Curran grant
ed an order restraining Howat and
other union officials from calling a
strike. The following -week the in
dustrial court convened to investi
gate the mining industry. Howat
and other officials ignored sub
poenas and the order of Judge Cur
tail for them to appear as wit
nesses. Judge Curran found them
guilty of contempt and sent Howat
and three other officials to jail.
After a week of confinement the of
ficials gave bond and now are at
liberty pending an appeal to the
Kansas supreme court,
Counsel for the miners an
nounced yesterday that . they would
n ake a complete attack on the new
la v alleging it is unconstitutional,
so as to send the law to a test as
speedily as possible. "They deny
allegations of a conspiracy made by
the state.
The Kansas miners walked out
when Howat was sent to jail and the
production of coal for the period
from April 10 to the present has
been practically nothing. Yester
day four-fifth of (he mines were re
ported working. Fewer mines are
working today.

Mother! Teach the Children
Their Daily Health Duty
You can't be too insistent!
FEW children find pleasure in
the things most vital to their
physical comfort and health,
so it rests with the watchful moth
er to see that they are done. The
child will be grateful in after years.
Chief among the functions
necessary to the upbuilding of the
little body, so that it will not be a
dyspeptic, constipated body when
it matures, is elimination regu
larly every morning. If the moth
er will be insistent and, allow
nothing to interfere with it, it will
Boon become a habit, a daily rou
tine that will not be forgotten
throughout life.
There are times, however, when
nature will not operate unaided.
Then give Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, which is a combination of.
simple laxative herbs with pepsin,
and the headaches, the biliousness,
the torpor will quickly disappear.
It acts gently and without griping,
and as it contains no narcotics and
is pleasant to the taste, it may
be given to infants. Thousands
of families have been regulated to
healthy maturity with Dr. Cald
well's Syrup Pepsin.
A bottle can be bought at any
drug store. In a large family
there is always someone who
would feel better for a dose of a
good medicine like Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin.
In spire of the fact that Dr. Cali
uell's Syrup Pepsin is the largest
selling liquid laxative
in the world, there
being over 6 million
bottles sold each year,
many who need its'
benefits have not yet
used -it. If you have
not, send your name
and address for a free
trial bottle to Dr. W.
