BRITISH LABOUR'S "BIG THREE"

SOMETHING ABOU«VI'HE TRIPLE ■ ALLIANCE. :\ The British Labour Triple . Alliance consists of tho Miners' Federation, having 851,000 members; the National Union of ltailwnymeii, with IMI.OdO members, and the Transport Workers' Federation, consisting of 31 unions, with 250,000 members. "Tho Triplo Alliance," rays "A..G. 6." in,tho "Daily News," "came into existence before', the war .under the inspiration of Mr. Robert Sinillie. It was designed as an-offensive and defensive alliance for the protection and advancement of the interests of tho members of the unions concerned. It was a natural and inevitable development of trade unionism, following on the massing of capital into great corporations. In eyfiij sphere of commerce iwl finance—in shipping, -browing, 'coal-milting, . banking —the. movemcint towards consolidation during' tho yenrs preceding the war was irresistible. It was the operation oi an economic law. The. answer of Labour took the same form—tho - .pooling of forco3. The Triple Alliance was tho expression of the unity of Labour as again6t the unity-of Capital. -Its.object was'to'pl'eveilt defeat in 'detail by mobilising all its powers of offence or defence on 1 a--given situation.- With the birth of the Triple Alliance it is obvious that a new factor of incalculable magnitude has coino into public affairs. Acting together, the miners, railway workers, and transport workers can by mere passivity bring the whole machinery of life to a'standstill. Force has no terrors for them. Tho only effective restrain is the fact that' they will be the 'worst sufferers from any ill-judged - action which lin--1 perils the general well-being of the nation." ■

RINGWORM DEFIED SKILLED , TREATMENT; • QUICK CURE PROVES ZAM-BUK TIIE ... RIGHT REMEDY 1 . > There, is no bigger'sourco of worry and anxiety to a mother than an outbreak of Ringworm among tho children. Consequently every mother will bo interested in tho experience of 'Mrs. M. Dennett, 44 Edward' Street, Redfern, Sydney, who hero' describes how Znm-Buk cured her child after medical treatment had failed. "My litle girl, Alice, had a bad ringworm on her head," writes Mrs. Dennett. "Try as I would, I could not cure it, and Alice was away from school 12 months. The Doctor seemed u.nable to do her any good, so I took her to the Children's Hospital, but the treatment did hot meet with any success either. "As a' last'resort I tried 'Zam-Buk, and) from the vory firßt application it was clear that I had at last struck the right remedy. Not only did Zam-Buk stop the irritation, but it seemed to get to the root of the disease straight away, with a result that after using only two pots, the ringworm, which had defied medical treatment, disappeared. Soon Alice's hair, which had been cut away, began to grow again, and is now as strong as ever. If necessity nrisos again, I shall use the Zam-Buk first, as it saves a lot of worry and expense." Zam-Buk letains its medicinal strength and purity right to the last bit in tho not, and there is nothing In ooual it for Eczema, Ulcers, Scalp Sores, Ringworm, Pimples, Poisoned Wounds. BoiH Running Sores, Piles, Cuts, Bruises, Sprains, Burns, 1 Scalds, Insect Bite;, and Stings, and skin ailments. All Chemists and Stores sell Zam-Buk at Is. Gd. or 3s. Gd. a pot, ■nd it pays to kcop a pot handy in tho home or at work.
