NEW ORLEANS MII.LERS
ADVERSE TO FAIR PLAY
Refuse to Abide by Decision Of the
State Board Of Arbitration. r

Refuse to Abide by Decision Of the
State Board Of Arbitration. b
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 1--we
will not accept the suggestion Of: the
State Board Of Arbitration and Con-
ciliation," said Mr.. S. Odenheimer,
president Of the Textile Mills corpor-
alton, in an official statement con-
cerning the findings Of the board
which Is endeavoring to bring about
peace between the corporations and
the striking employees. ::
The ultimatum of the corporation
is to run full time, six days per week,
with a red,S>tion of 20 per cent until
conditions justify a: change. -.
The arbitration: board suggests three
days in the week at full time. with
a reduction Of 10 per cent. in the
wages, which is satisfactory to the
employees.
Many men have been brought here
under false representations, and when
they learned that they were to act as
strikebreakers they generally refuse
to work. The consequence is that, as
they canont return home, they swell
the ranks Of the unemployed here.
Mayor Behrman learned of this and
he demanded that the companies re
turn these men to their homes.
The mayors letter to Odenheiner
Is IN part as follows: -
Il am concerned with this fact
only, that while there are so. many
persons out Of employment :, in. New
Or!eans-and this misfortune applies
to many others than mill operatives
It is crying injustice to bring per-
sons here whose coming means only
swelling of the great army OF the
unemployed. For that reason"I wish
to state to you with all the emphasis
which I can command that l am de-
termined to prevent any, such out.
rage being ~perpetrated upon this
community, and must repeat my. de.
mand that you make arrangements, to
have these persons whom you have
caused to be brought to New Orleans
and who are now out OF employment
returned to their homes''
President William Smith, of tho or
ganization of strikers of the Lane and
Maginnis cotton mills, who have re-
fused to accept a 20 per cent wage
cut, says that the committee o. strik-
ers will attempt to either have thu
cotton mills closed or have the 1.o0t
employees now on strike return to
work under the decision Of the State
Board Of Arbitration and Concilia.

Gentlemen's Niuht.

Gentlemens night at the Kennebecside
| Club Feb. % was, as usual, the social
event of the season. About 50 guests
entertained The English and American
colors were used in the decorations and
very pretty the rooms looked.
An amusing contest was suggested by
the president, Mrs. Lolita Nutter, and
for half an hour all were industriousIv
hurIying about matching lines of popular
songs which when put together correctly
completed one or more verses. Shortly
after, strains Of "Annie Laurie" Home
Sweet Home 1.-The Blue Bells Of Scot
land' and THE Star Spangled Banner
were heard from groups of eight in differ
ent parts of the room in quiet rehearsaIs
At the request of the president each
group rendered its selection with much
cheerfuness. 1.-The Star Spangled Ban
ner' was especially noticeable from the
dramatic force which was manifested
throughout the piece.
1t was much regretted that Coming
Through the Rye was not given. owing
to the absence from the room of three
of the leading stars" A conversational
contest also anorded much amusement
and the gentlemen proved themselves
very gifted in describing the ladies with
whom they held five minutes convcrsa-
ton, some even becoming poetical.
A short program was then carried out
as follows; Instrumental solo. Edith
jackson; 'Loch Lomond" by the quar-
tet; reading, 'The Bishop and the Cow"
Miss Eunice Hoyt: song. the British Ma
ticnal Hymn. by all.
After that. refreshments consisting of
salads, sandwiches, olives, ice cream,
cake and coffee were served. The occa-
sion was very enjoyable and nnIch credit
is due the several committees who had
it in charge.

LIGHT BREAKS IN.
Thoughtful Farmer Learns Abou
Coffee.

Many people exist in more or less
| haZy condition and it often takes years
| before they realize that coffee is the
cause of the clOudiness, and that there
| is simple way to let the light break
| in.
A worthy farmer had such an exper-
fence and tells about it, in a letter. He
says:
For about forty years, 1 have had
indigestion and stomach trouble in
various forms. During the last rs
years l would not more than get over
one spell of bilious collie until another
would be on me.
THE best doctors l could get and all
the medicines I could buy, only gave
me temporary relief.
Change of climate was tried with
out results. l could not sleep nights,
had rheumatism and my heart would
palpitate at times so that it seemed it
would jump out of my body.
Il came to the conclusion that there
was no relief for me and that l was
about wound up, when saw a Postum
advertisement. l had always been a
coffee drinker, and got an idea from
the ad. that maybe coffee was the
cause of my trouble
Il began to drink Postum instead Of
coffee and in less than three weeks I
felt like new man. The rheumatism
left me, and l have never had a spell of
bilious collie since
MY appetite is good. my digestion
never was better and I can do more
work than before for 40 years.
Il haven't tasted coffee since began
with Postum. My wife makes is ac-
cording to directions and l relish it as
well as l ever did coffee, and l was
certainly a slave to coffee" There's
a Reason"
