LABOR

Sydney, Ftbrua y 28

The annual report of the Australian Workers' Union, submitted to the Workers' Conference, in referring to the recent shearing difficulties says—

"We can unhesitatingly claim a victory. When the full list is made up, it would be found that not more than twenty five per cent, of the sbe&s shore under the new agreement. Practically the Pastoralists' Union acknowledged it-

self beaten by its confessed inability to guppj^fmen. It.was alio intended, if sutfcessfcil here, to carry the war into y^evr Zealand, but the defeat of the Pastoralists on this side had caused the Mnoriland squatters to give up the idea. Thus labor in that colony was left alone. It is quite clear that the real object of the Pastoralists'Union and the banks was to crush the men's organisation, and then make up for it by forty or fifty per cent, reduction in wages."

Dear Sir,-I can testify to the wonderful cure I got by using the LON DON RHEUMATIC CURE. I was suffering badly with rheumatics ia my hands and wriatd ; the back of my hand was badly dis colored. I rubbed them well with the Cup, and am thankful to tell you they are quite batter. Thomas ClAncey Aahburton, 0 itober, 1893. Your LONDON RHEUMATIC CURE is a remedy worthy to be praised. I took rhou matia fever and was a good while in the hands of the dootors; &t last it seemed all to lodge ia roy ankle. I had to walk with a oiutoh and stick. .- The doctor at last advieed me to go to Christcburch and get the foot taken off, wbioh I objected to do. I got vary disheartened, as there ceemed no cura for me. I heard of the LONDON RHEUMATIC CURE, and got one bottle, and before it was done I was able to lay nsida my at-oka and to resume basiness, and have bad no trouble since. It is a valuable remedy I can highly recommend it, as I believe it ha* no equal. ,>s. D. MACPHEB3ON.
