TOO MUCH POWER FOR COUNCIL
Central Labor Union Opposed to Pro-
posed Provision in City Charter
for Closing Streets.

That the mayor and council ought not to
have the absolute power TO vacate or close
a street is the opinion prevalent among
labor leaders, and at a meeting OF the
Central Labor union in the rooms of the
Organization Friday evening the matter
was discussed at length.
1--WE are in favor OF the mayor and
council having power to vacate a street,
but the property owners on that street
should have something to say In the mat
ter. As the case stands now in the charter
revision board. which recently passed a
proposed amendment giving the mayor
ard council absolute power TO close streets,
those authorities might vacate a street,
while many of the ahutting property own
ers were opposed to such action. We be-
Heve that the owners of abutting prop
erty should be given a chance to decide
when there is a division Of opinion on
the subject"
Aside from the routine business, no mat
ter OF Importance except the consideration
Of the charter revision boards action was
brought up at last nights meeting, which
was the regular bi-weekly one.
A committee OF six men representing the
Central Labor union has the matter of

action. At next Wednesdays meeting of
the board the matter will be brought up

Textile production has increased and In

an element OF strength for the future, al

ABOUT HEADACHES

habit of their nerves" or mental
| mechanism. The truth is that having
a headache is very serious matter;
It IS q certain part Of the nervous sys-
tfpemn-like a drowning calling
for help, as its strength is being over
to, taxed and is, usually, breaking down,
y wasting away, or being supplied with
nerve force at the expense Of some
other organ of the body. To have
headaches often, especially after sew,
ing, reading, studying or sightseeing,
y q very plain sign that the eyes are
At fault and are calling for assistance.
Il Is natures way Of giving warning.
But the average person win not heed
this warning of the eyes; it must be
else, they say, and then
