Washington, May 23. The Ameri can Federation of Labor is about to launch an intensified organization campaign, President. Samuel Gom pers announced tonight, in a state ment which said that ''the message of trade unionism will be carried to every corner of the land." "Its encouragement and protection will be offered to the workers everyt where," he declared. "Immediately following -the Denver convention next month, it is my purpose to visit a number of cities to encourage the unorganized to join our movement." .Air. Gompers asserted that con fssion that the 'open shop' cam paign has proved a failure, was made public May 16 at the annual conven tion of the national association of manufacturers in New : York.'! The association's committee on industrial advancement- he said, pro tested against the defensive position into which the members had been forced by labor and urged that an offesive ".campaign be inaugurated and that "the open shop" movement, be stimulated by plans for indus trial representation. "Having failed by coercive tactics to force autocracy in industry on the workers," , he added, "the Na tional Association of Manufacturers proposes to silence them by prom ising a few of their representatives scats on boards o! directors of the corporations. ( This would be empty honor. "Sincerity of purpose of employ ers, their whole-hearted interest in their employes, can be shown best in the contents of pay envelopes. When that is lacking there can be no encouragement for the workers in having representatives on boards of directors." "Burglar-Maid" Wife Of Chicago Backer v Is Near Breakdown , Chicago, May 23.

I felt tired-out all through the day, went to bed tired and got up feeling tired. "But it didn't take Tanlac lohg to get in its .good work. My appetite picked right up and as I commenced eating better, I started feeling better and sleeping, better. And now I am in the best of health, have been built up all around and just feel fine.

JACKSON 3646 Eveready Tire Service Co. HELP YOURSELF CLUB TED! STARTERS One young lady had the right idea. She went right oul and tried to find if it was hard to get subscriptions to The Bee. Her very gratifying results con vinced her that it was easy and she nominated herself. It would surprise ua if she failed to secure an award, for that proves that she is a "live one." It takes a ''live one" with "grit and gumption" to get those things worth having and for that class of folks there are some very valuable awards offered by the Help Yourself Club. Two young ladies in the . out-of-Omaha Districts are out for an award so they can convert it into cash and pay their tuition at school. They realize the money value of these awards. With such a worthy object in view their friends will undoubtedly support them to the limit. . The fighters will get theirs and our regret is that more of the members fail to realize this fact. When new "live" members -' have stepped in and passed their mark, they will say "Oh, 'I never was lucky." They won't realize that it is due to" their own lack of effort. . " . . ' 1921 WILL REWARD FIGHTERS ; With the apparent lack of effort on the part of most of the members, the "fighters" will find they have a "walk-away." Many of the members seem to think that all they have to do is nominate themselves and their friends will do the rest. Work is the only thing that will secure these awards.

Are you one? , " The work is fascinating in that it never becomes dull and monto nous. Something new all the time. If you are not a member there is an interesting lfttle booklet wait ing for you. Call, write or phone the office for a copy. Watch supplies. Don't run out of remittance blanks and receipts. . ' If anybody remarks that they cannot afford The Bee, take a pencil and show them that The Bee, including the big Sunday issue, only costs them about 2 cents a day and ask them if they can afford to be igno rant of the real happenings in the world and in their own community for 2 cents a day. The young ladies who have entered as members to secure an award in order to use the money value of it for educational purposes are alive to the real worth of the awgrds. Do you realize that many of these awards will rgward their winners at a rate of about $25,000.00 a year for their efforts. . The fact that some folks are taking another paper makes them your best prospect. They want a paper and they want the best. If one of your friends is taking another paper and does not want to have two papers at the same time, you can take his subscription to The Bee with the understanding that the paper is not to start delivery until the expiration of his present subscription to the other paper. Mark the subscription blank and the remittance sheet with the date it is to be started and you will be given a credit for the subscription in just the sUme manner as for any other you may secure.
