ENGINEERS AND
CARRIERS TO FIGHT

Chief Engineer F. b. Smith. of the
Pittsburg Steamship Co.'S fleet, says
that he has signed up most of the en-
gineers for the steel trust vessels. OF.
ficers OF the Engineers association
say that he has not signed their mem.
bers and that he will not do so. Ac.
cording to Smiths story. only three
out OF 30 Detroit engineers who served
In the trust fleet last year have re.
fused their contracts.
The fight being made BY the En-
gineers' association Is the beginning
Of a contest between the Lake Car
riers and the unions which may tie M
shipping in 1909. The unions did no,
strike In 1908 because IL was a poor
year. but the union leaders believe
that the demand for ore will be SC
great next year that they can win by
tying up enough of the big freighters
The offering OF n system Of death
and injury benefits TO employees who
sign the individual open shop" con
tracts, by the Lake Carriers, was the
first defensive blow by that organize
ton. President William Livingstone
of the Carriers, points TO the fact that
although the season OF 1905 was poor
one and the owners did not make mon
ey. no cuts were made In the wage
scale, which IL the highest rate OF
wages paid sailors anywhere.

WHEN THE KIDNEYS GIVE OUT

DO you ever feel that you simply
can't go any nirther-that you must
have rest for that lame and aching
back-relief from that constant dead.
tired feeling-freedom from those
stabbing, darling painsg
This il the condition that so often
comes at middle age. bringing with IL
an extreme nervousness and irritable
ity that makes others think you
cranky and "hard to get along
with"
Likely your kidneys are worn and
tired and need help. In any machine
there is one part that works the hard.
est and gives out first. The kidneys
work night and day. removing from
the blood the uric acid and other
waste created by overuse OF strength
and energy. Naturally a life OF nm
usual activity doubles the duties OF
the kidneys. and in time the strain
tells.
With healthy kidneys. one has a
good chance TO live long. hut weak
kidneys affiict old age with great dis
comforts. The back becomes bent and
lame. rheumatism is chronic. eyesight
fails, and too frequent or involuntary
passages OF the urine cause embar-
rassment by day aud loss OF sleep at
night.

ACME PAINT PLANT
INCREASES STOCK
BIG CONCERN WILL ISSUE $3.50,
900 OF COMMON AT so PER
CENT ABOVE PAR.

A special meeting OF the stockhoId
ers OF the Acme White Lead & Color
works was held in the company's Office
Friday. ut which II was voted to In
crease the common stock of the com.
pnny from $1.250.00O to 100000.
The necessity for this increase is
brought about by the steady growth
OF the company along its established
lines, as we'll as to provide capital for
the further development OF the new
white lead corroding department. Dur.
ing 1907 a preferred stock issue of
$4,000 was made, all of which was
readily disposed OF, SO that with the
present Increase the total capitallza.
ton will be $2.750,000.
Up to the present time all OF the
common stock has been closely held
by the four original stockholders and
few employees holding confidential
positions. Realizing that the business
will largely increase within the next
few years, ii was decided to depart
from the old close corporation prin
ciple and permit others to acquire
SoAht VI tit hSN vi
the issue has been privately subscribed
for at price 80 per cent above par
the par value OF the shares being $25
the price paid being $3.50 Both the
preferred and common stock Of the
company will be listed on the Detroit
Exchange. and. inasmuch as the d.
rectors OF the company have decided
to, within a few days, close the sub
scription list for the time being aud
permit the remaining treasury stock "a
be sold only az the needs OF the com
pany demand, II is a safe prediction
that there will b. steady advance
IN the market value OF the stock.
One OF the officers OF the company
expresses the opinion that the las al
the Issue will command price OF Al
least 80 per cent, and probably more,
stating as his reason that the company
would not need to do any better, or
even as well as II has In the past, In
order 10 make ii worth that or more
and that az quickly as the new white
lead department can be equipped with
its fun complement of machinery
much larger earnings will follow. With
the results OF the sale OF this new
issue IN the treasury the company will
have assets OF over s3.0O0000 and nc
