BIG STRIKE
IS THREATENED
Chicago, October 14.—Unless the
traction companies here grant the de
mands of the carmen today a gigan
tic street car strike will be called
on Wednesday, according to the,
statement of officials of tho union.
Tiio arbitration between the compa
nies and the unions has failed.
If the surface employes strike, the
elevated meh will do likewise in
sympathy, owing to a secret agree
ment between the two unions. Car
goes will then practically be paral
yzed, as only the suburban lines
will remain in operation and these
do not reach more than 1ft per
cent of the population.

Arguments May Be Disputed, But
"Facts Are Facts."
It i .a fact that Valdez Y>ecr is a food and not .1 Ionic.
Ask any doctor you know. Xaldez beer aids digestion. Use
it a few times with your metis and you'll find we're right.
If you drink beer you should Vise Valdez boor in preference to
others. First, because of its tinqucstionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home
town and all who are interestfll in the growth and prosper
ity of Valdez should patronize home products.
