SERBIANS STILL
ADVANCING
International News Service.
I’AltlS, Sept. L’_!. Il is officially cun
ts iieil that tile Serbians are continuing
t i advance towards Monaslir despite
all efforts of the allied forces to hold
Hem. Their charges are made with
almost unprecedented fierceness mil
utter disregard of life.
Your attention is called to our window display of RELIANCE grocer
ies. with the charge to bear in mind that the trade name these goods
bear as RELIANCE, forceably means just what that term implies as
above defined. „
Certain standards are held and t itained by all reputable
high grade manufacturers,, but . t alone does not satisfy the
manufacturers of RELIANCE P DUCTS. They r.lone, far overstep
ping that standard, by a higher percentage of perfection than that
standard maintained by other h jh grade brands.
This brand has been the standard of high grade goods on Seward penin
sula, and still remains the highest grade ever introduced, gaining for
itself suoh high and worthy praise that only a product of this duality ;
is justly entitled.
OTHER BRANDS HAVE COME AND GONE, BUT RELIANCE BRAND
GOES ON FOREVER.

N. Y. MAYOR GIVES WARNING
RE WILE CALL OUT MILITIA
International News Service.
\ lOW VilltK. Sept. 22. Mayor ;
.Mitchell issued a warning to labor
leaders tills morning in which he as
sured them that under no eireum
stances will thev lie allowed to take
'
eonlrol of the city. It is their privi- j
lege, lie said, to go on a general strike i
if they desire iml he urges them to
\v< iglit l tie niatti i carefully before tak
ing such a momentous step, , .
He Warns them that tie will use
all the civil and military forces at his
disposal to prevent disorder and that
no polilcal or other influence what
ever will prevent the arrest and pun
ishment of all law-breakers.
M-:\\ VilltK, Sept. 22. I'liion
leaders have been very active in lin
ing up I tie unions in all lines in prep
aration for u general strike next week.
Owing to pressure brought to hear on
them and to changed views due to
rioting on the streets, over one hun
dred arid Hfly thousand workers who
h. d voted to go out ill symapthy have
rescinded their vote and they now de
cline to act.
la spite of this defection the labor
leaders claim that fully seven hundred
thousand men are willing will leave
their work who nthe word is given.
Now Favors Boycott.
NKW VilltK, Sept. 22. One hundred
lenders of various unions began a con
ference here this afternoon. The an
nounced reason for the meeting is to
discuss the plans for a general strike.
A rumor is current, however, that
the real reason for tile sudden confer
ence is to discuss Mayor Mitchell's
threat to call out the military forces
should a genrnl strike occur.
it has also become known that a
i
large number <d tin leaders ha\r
changed their views sine** hearing t !»•
nuiyors’ warning. They now think, it
is said, til a t a boy < oil oi e|e\aled sub
way, and surface lines by ill union
members would be i mol' satisfactory
method of fighting the traction coin
puny than a general strike. By tb:s
means .1 blow would be st ruek direct
h at the company without injury to
others and it would not res 1111 in such
a loss to union members as would
occur when they would cease to draw
pay.
