WIDOWS CASE. FOUGHT
BY EEECT R|I|C !! ]! union !
EXPENSE OF DAMAGE SUITS,
BORNE BY ORGANIZATION.
Linemen and Other Employees Of
Two Big Telephone Companies Form
Merger Including Workers in ALI Ter
ritory Covered by Systems Union
Asks More Pay After May 1.

Frank Flanagan has returned from
Hudson, Wis, where he went as repre-.
sentative of the Electricians union to
look after the damage suit of the fam
lily of Walter Stevens, who was killed
by shock from "live' wire last
year. The suit is against the Willow
River Electric company for $4,000. The
case has been taken Under advisement
and a decision will be rendered this
month
Hereafter the Electrical Workers
union will look after all such cases, and
will bear the expense of prosecution of
the same. This has been made neces-
sary because of the great increase IN
the number of deaths of members from
the case referred to complimented the
agent of the union upon the conduct of
the case.
Form Big Union Merger.
A merger of great proportions has
been contaminated by the Electrical
Workers. There are now but two
unions in the territory covered by the
Northwestern and Twin City Telephone
companies. These companies operate in
Minnesota, North and South Dakota
and Wisconsin. So far, the results have
been satisfactory to the union. Instead
of having a large number Of small,
weak and inactive unions, the merger
throws all the workmen in the territory
named into the st. Paul and Minneapo-
lis locals, which are strong in every
way. Recently the monthly gain in the
local union has been upwards Of 100.
The unions take in all branches Of tele-
phone line work, switchboard men and
others.
Workmen in the various branches are
seeking raise in pay. The agreement
between the union and the companies
will expire May !, and the proposed
new scale provides for an increase Of
SIS a month. Relations between the en-
ployers and the electricians have always
been of the most friendly character,
and no trouble is looked for this year
The scale has received the Endorsement
of the Trades assembly, and is now in
the hands of the Building Trades coun-
Gil, which is expected to add it's ap-
proval at the next meeting.
st. Paul Asks Same Scale.
st. Paul electricians are asking for
the same wage scale, and they have
given the customary notice to the affil-
lated unions and received their indorse-
ment of the scale sought.
Introduction of high-tension wires has
added to the extremely hazardous ma
ture of the work Of the linemen, and
this, coupled with the material increase
in the cost Of living, are urged as some
of the reasons why the increase should
be granted. Fifteen men have lost
their lives in the last fifteen months as
the result Of accidents while in the per-
formance Of duty in construction work,
and this argument will be used to in
duence favorable action.

THE DOCTORS
PROPOSE TO START A COLLEC-
TIoN CAMPAIGN SOON.
They Claim the Physician is u Much
Abused Man When II Comes
to Paying Him.

The McCracken County Medical
Society has been in existence for sew
eral years and all meetings have been
pertaining to the uplifting and bet
-terment of the profession strictly
speaking, but the society now pro-
posed to take some action towards
the financial end of it-an end which
has been in a way neglected of late
years.
The following amendment to the
bylaws of the society has been sug-
gested by a member OF the society
and will be voted on at the next reg
'ular meeting of the society on the
2Sth at the Office of DR.. j. ID. Rob
ertson.
The proposed change speaks for
itself and reads as follows:
Agreements and schedules of fees
shall be made by this society, and at
least one meeting during each year
shall be set apart for a discussion of
the business affairs of the profession
OF the county with the view of adopt
ing the best methods for the guild
ance of all. In all proper ways the
public shall be taught that business
and prompt collections are essential
to the equipment of the modern phys
ician and surgeon. and that IL suf-
fers even more than the profession
when this is not recognized"
In speaking OF the matter prom
inent physician explained why the
doctors had decided to start a col
lecting campaign in Paducah.
The better class OF physicians
have one end in Vie. that OF cur
ing the patient the money matter TO
be an after consideration. There
are hundreds of patients in Paducah
who neglect the financial part and
IL has become so bad that the pro-
posed black list method has been
talked Of. the doctor declared.
Some doctors demand their money
before they will give service. and
they generally get IT,"
In fact doctors all over the coun-
try are starting a campaign for bet
ter collections. They realize that
the grocer receives his pay as does
the coal man and the clothier, but
the doctor is last to be considered
and oftimes he is the man who Is due
the most.
The proposed meeting once a year
will be devoted to discussion of the
financial matter.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful II Is
I'm Preserving Health and
Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature,
but few realize its value when taken
into the human system for the same
cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the
more you take of il the better; II Is
not drug at all, but simply absorbs
the gases and impurities always pre-
sent in the stomach and intestines
ard carries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath af-
ter smoking. drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
II absorbs the injurious gases
which collect in the stomach and
bowels; it disinfects the mouth and
throat from the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another. but probably the
best charcoal and the most FOR the
money is in Stuart's Charcoal Loz'
enges; they are composed of the
finest powdered Willow charcoal, and
other harmless antiseptics in tablet
form or rather in the form of large
pleasant tasting lozenges, the char
coal being mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges
will soon tell In a much improved
condition of the general health, bet.
ter complexion, sweeter breath and
purer blood, and the beauty of it Is
that no possible harm can result
from their continued use, but on the
contrary, great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking OF
the benefits of charcoal says: IL ad-
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to
all patients suffering from gas in
stomach and bowels, and to clear the
complexion and purify the breath.

liver is greatly benefited by the daily
use of them; they cost but twenty

paration, yet | believe / get more
and better charcoal in Stuart's Char
coal Lozenges than in any of the or
