FOR FOOD
SAVING
Food Conservation Commit
' tee Plans to Secure Co
operation "of Organiza
tions and People
Meeting yesterday in the board
of trade rooms, the food conservation
committee appointed by Chairman F.
M. Weaver of the county council of
defense, made complete plans for a
county organization which shall enlist
the patriotic co-operation of all the
housewives of Buncombe county, its
hotels, boarding houses, restaurants
and sanitariums, in conserving the
food supply.
The committee named by Chairman
Weai-cr, who is also county food ad
ministrator, consists of George H.
Wright, chairman; County School
Superintendent W. H. Hipps; Farm
Demonstrator E. D. Weaver, Mrs. J.
M. Gudgcr, Jr.; district and county
chairman of the women's council of
defense; Miss Allie Rymer, county
home demonstrator; R. H. McDuffle,
S. P. Burton and Donald Gillls, the
organization following the character
indicated by State Food Conservator
Henry Page.
The plans look to securing the sign
ing of cards pledging the signers to
carry out the Hoover conservation
plans so far as circumstances permit,
during the week from. October 20 to
27, and the distribution of window
cards , and printed recommendations
to be followed.
Realizing that the women of Bun
combe county, city and county, are
zealous to aid their country, the com
mittee sought only to provide a system
of co-operation and local committees
to secure this co-operation and dis
tribute the Hoover recommendations,
ft was decided to organize the county
by school districts, and the city and
towns by wards of other units.
Each school district is to have a
food administration committee of foitr
active persons, one to be a school
teacher, who will spread the conser
vation propaganda and the cards to be
signed and the printed suggestions.
It is hoped to have the list for most
of the 107 districts completed this
evening and notifications to be mailed
to the committeemen tomorrow.
County Superintendent Hipps has
called a meeting of the county teach
ers at 11 o'clock Saturday morning to
promote the campaign, the committee
placing great 'reliance on the teachers
as promoters of the good cause. Much
reliance is to be placed also on the
personnel of the betterment associa
tions. :
It was thought best to have a chair
man for each city ward who will ap

ing a committee for each of several
blocks. The following were named as
chairman by wards; I, Mrs. J. C.

DEFINES
LABOR
Not Connected With I.W.W.
in Any Way, Grant Ham
ilton Tells Audience at the
Court House
"It Is said that many people wear
the livery of the church to serve the
devil, so many people and groups of
people attempt to use the name or
organized labor to further the inter
ests of organizations whose conduct
is, to sny the least, unlawful," so said
Grant Hamilton at the county court
house Monday night. Mr. Hamilton is
legislative representative of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, and it was
in reference to the activities of the t.
W. W., that Mr. Hamilton used the
above words. The speaker declared
that there is no similarity between the
two organizations. There is nothing
in common, he declared,, but on the
other hand the two organizations are
entirely different, Mr. Hamilton said
the organizations affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor stand
for collective bargaining, while the I.
W. W. stands for the opposite in deal
ing with employers. The speaker
strongly denounced the attempts of
certain groups of people for attempt
ing to link the two organizatoins to
gether. . .
Mr. Hamilton told of the work of
the labor movement in securing ade
quate child labor laws, and said the
American Federation of Labor was
largely responsible for the passage of
the Keating-Owen Child Labor law.
The speaker paid a high compliment
to the Home school of this city for
the work the school has done and is
doing for the children of the poor.
He urged his hearers to support the
school loyally. Mr. ..-Hamilton attend
ed the pageant given t the school a
few days ago, and suit; he was greatly
impressed with the work being done
there.
i The labor official reviewed the leg
islation which the organization has
been able to secure for the people "It
has been done through i ulitical power,-yet
the A. F. of I,, has steered
clear of partisan politics," he said.
Since the organization of the Amre
Ican Federation of Labor in 1881 the
policy pursued by this organization in
matters political, has demonstrated
the fact that there is no place in par
tisan politics for the labor movement.
AH labor organizations prior to the
organization of the A. F. of L went
down -in defeat because of affiliation
with partisan political parties. Yet
the federation advises and urges its
membership, to take an interest in lo
cal politics, and whenever possible to
elect its members to offices, especially
to legislative positions. In doing so
local conditions must of necessity
guide the movements of the laboring
people," '
Speaking of the criticism which has
been directed at organized labor for
striking during the war, Mr. Hamilton
said: les,; there have been strikes,
and there will be more strikes. In the
very- beginning of the war the officers
of all the national unions met in ex
ecutive session and went on record as
being opposed to war. Second, If war
did come to this country that organ
ized labor would staunchly and lov
ally support the government of the
Lnlted States. Labor has done that
is doing it now, and will continue to
support this government. But that
does not mean that labor will stand
immovable, while unfnir and unpatri
otic employers bring the club of suf
fering down upon the heads of the la
borers. We will support the govern
ment, and we will also continue to
protect ourselves, and when a strike
la necessary to secure such protection
a strike will be called."
Mr. Hamilton told of Instances
where contractors had complained to
the governmnet regarding labor on
war contracts. Investigation bv Sec
retary Wilson brought to light the
fact that such companies either had
organized labor barred from the work
or that such companies were pay in
SLch insignificant wages that people
would not work fou them, he stated
But In those places in the work of
preparation for war, where organized
labor is employed, the work has been
finished in record time, the sneaker
said.
The labor official said the only
channel through whk:i the laboring
people of this country had to make
known their condition, is through or
ganized labor. The unorganized, the
speaker said, have no way in which
to make any progress, as it is through
organization alone that advancement
comes to the men and women of toil.
"This organization . has grown tre
mendously, and now more than 2 -600,000
people are affiliated with the
A. F. of L. "ft will continue to grow
until the laboring men and women of
this country come into their own, and
economic conditions are such that
social conditions are hotter for the
workers, and educational advance
ment is made possible for the children
of labor."

RADICAL ENOUGH FOR HER
Mrs. Berger Resigns as
Vice-President of Wis- ,
consin Association
Milwaukee, Oct. 10. Mrs. Victor L.
Berger, wifo of the former socialist
congressman, who has resigned
as first vice-president of the Wiscon
sin AVoman Suffrage association, an
nounced today that she would retain
her membership In the organization.
Sho also took occasion to correct a
report which credited her indirectly
with having connected the National
Woman's Suffrage association with
the Ticketing at the AVhlte House.
Although retaining her membership
In the Wisconsin association sho crit
icized It adversely as not being radi
cal enough. She thought the organi
zation which has been picketing the
White House had proved more effect
ive In acquainting the nation "with
the lack of democracy In this country
and that especially In Wisconsin there
was room for more aggressive work
in the suffrage cause."

relievo your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue Is coated,
and when tho weather Is bad you
have rheumatic twinges. The urine
Is cloudy, full of sediment, channels
often get sore, water scalds :.nd you
are obliged to seek relief two or threo
times during the night.
Either consult a good, reliable phy
sician .it onc.i or got from your phar
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablcspoonful In a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes nnd lemon Juice, com
bined with lithin, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine so It no longer irri
tates, thus ending bladder weakness.
