The demands of the. union carpenters follow: "United Brotherhood nf pm(. i JoineVs, Trade Movement, to Take Effect Nov. the Fifth, 1917. "First. That on and .after Mnnrtnv November the 5th. 1917, no member of the U. B. in this district will H noi. mitted to work for less than fifty cents per hour, nor more than eight hours per day, without receiving pay and one haf ror the extra ; hours so worked. Sunday and legal holidays to be paid ior at double rate of pay. All foremen to receive not less tnan sixty-two and one-half cents per hour. Apprentice and disabled members to receive such wages as they and their foreman and employer agrees upon, provided that no member will suffer a reduction in wages on account of this minimum wage. "SecondBeginning on the first Mon day in November, 1917, the working day in Wilmington and vicinity will be eight hours per day with over time at the same rate as specified in Section One. of this resolution, namely, over time at, pay and one-half; Sunday, Christmas .day and tne Fourth of July at double pay. No work to be done on "Labor Day, except to protect life or property, the executive board of 4'i7 to decide same. "Third. There shall be an executive board composed of tiie president, re cording secretary and three elected members, who shall act on any and all grievances referred to them and report their findings at the next stated meet ing. And any members o. said execu tive board failing to perform the . duties of v his office shall be fined the sum of ?5, unless prevented by sickness or some unavoidable circumstances. "Fourth. These ' rules to be in full force and effect when approved by our first general vice-president." Chairman Pollock's statement is as follows: "Our first reason for asking for the increase in wages is thaJt the members of the brothernood were going away for better wages, so they could support their families. , "Seqond, without better wages they would go away to work ami Bend back after their families, and thereby de crease the population. of the city. "Therefore,,, the Brotherhood got In communication with all of the principal cities of the United States ,ahd discov ered that we were the lowest paid car penters in existence. "We took the average rate of these cities, cut it 10 per cent, and asked, the bui.ders of Wilmington and vicinity for this small amount, which is about as little as a man can live decent on and lose the bad weather that comes, in the fall an, win ter months. "We mailed out copies of our trade movement to the builders, and , also gave them to the press, and up to the present time only one contractor has ref.used to grant the demand. . . 'Our members' were'' locked out on Monday, the fifth, at the Naull Ship building yard at Eagle xsiana, ana were told prior to this time that If they threw down the brotherhood they might continue their work, uur men thought our demands just, and refused to be traitors to their fellow men. "In a recent article in the press we noticed that the company stated that they would open the yard, but intend ed to run it as an open shop. We wish to say that our demands are not for a closed shop, nor had we any intentions of asking for one. We simply asked for better wages to meet, the Increased cost of living, so our men could stay and help build . and encourage other workmen to come to Wilmington. "R.

I had used pills and. tablets, but after a course of these, I would be constipated. It just seemed to tear toy stomach all ur. I found .they were no good at all for my trouble.
