GOVERNOR HARMON OF OHIO
APPOINTS FORMER ST. PAUL
TYPO, WILLIAM J. RoHR, A MEM
Der OF THE BUCKEYE STATE
COMMIS SION.

One Of the greatest honors which
has been bestowed upon one of the
ranks Of organized labor in recent years
has been the appointment of William
J. Rohr, formerly OF st. Paul, but now
of Cincinnati, to a place on the Ohio
state commission of industrial COM
pensation, by GOV. Judson Harmon
of the Buckeye state last week.
The st. Paul Typos feel exceptionally
pleased over the recognition they have
received through their former fellow
member who has since become a Buck
eye by adoption. At a recent meeting
of the st. Paul Typographical union
a message of congratulations was sent
Mr.. Rohr, commenting upon his ability
and conscientiousness and devotion to
any duty he has ever been called upon
to perform.
The duty of the commission to
which Mr.. Rohr has been appointed is
to make annual inquiry, examination
and investigation into the subject Of
a direct compensation law, or a law
effect the liability Of employees for in
dustrial accidents Aside from it's in
vestigation, the commissions business
is to submit a full report of its find
ings to the state legislature at the
opening of each regular session, and
to include therein it's recommendations
for legislation, together with such bill
or bills providing for the speedy
remedy for employees for injuries re-
ceived in the course of their employ
ment, as will be fair, just and reason
able to both employers and employees.
Mr.. Rohr went to Cincinnati several
years ago to accept a place with The
Chronicle of that city in the COM
posing department. He has constantly
risen until he now holds the respon-
sible position of associate editor.

Madrid, July 22.--The seriousness of
the labor strikes at Barcelona and
many other cities throughout Spain
cannot be overestimated. At any mo-
ment King Alfonso and the cabinet,
who are holding daily conferences, may
suspend the constitution and substitute
military law in its place to cope with
the situation. Authorities agree that
the circumstances call for prompt ac-
ton on the part of the government II
peace is to be brought about.
Barcelona, Gijon and Bilboa are
three of the cities most seriously af-
fccted by the strikes. Labor agitators
are actively working for a general
strike. Rioting and bloodshed is fol-
lowing and a general revolt is pre-
dicted. The fight being made by the

AN oLD-TIME PRESCRIPTION

In a modern product. From time imme.
mortal sage and sulphur have been used
for the hair and scalp. Almost every
one knows OF the value of such COM
bination for darkening the hair and max
ing 1t grow. In olden times the only way
to get a hair tonic of this sort was to
brew it in the home fireplace, method
which was troublesome and not always
satisfactory. Nowadays almost every up
to-date druggist can supply his patrons
with a ready to use product, skillfully
compounded in perfectly equipped labora-
tories. Such a preparation is Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur, which is sold by all
leading druggists for soc. and $1.00 a
bottle, or which is sent direct by the

GREAT VICTORY
FOR union men
BUCK sTovEa& RANGE co. AFTER
BITTER AND SPECTACULAR
BATTLE AGAINST UNION LABOR
ACKNOWLEDGES DEFEAT AND
SIGNS UP.

A dispatch from st. Louis says that
an agreement has been reached be-
tween the Buck Stove & Range Co. Of
that city and representatives of unions,
employing men at the plant whereby
the Buck company becomes a union
shop after four years of the bitterest
fighting any corporation ever waged
against organized labor. The matters
in dispute between the company and
the unions were settled and written
agreements were entered into by the
parties to the conference to this effect.
The fight began in difference be-
tween the metal polishers in the plant
and the owners as to whether the men
should work nine or ten hours a day.
The differences arose Aug. 26, 1906.
The Buck company, of which the late
]. w. Van Cleave was president, held
firm against the demands of the polish
ers for nine hour day, and the Stove
Founders National Defense association
backed Van Cleave, whose company
was a member Of the national defense
body.
Went to Supreme Court.
Van Cleave declared for an open
shop" This action led to an open
breach between the shop and the
unions and a boycott was declared. The
central trades and labor union and the
metal trades council approved the boy
colt The case was carried to the
United States supreme court. The ac-
ton of the local labor organizations
was approved May, 1907, by the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.

II was in this quaint old house that
Dolly Madison, as the widow of the
fourth President, held court for a mum
Der Of years as the social queen Of the
Capital City. Her home fairly rivaled
the White House as a social center.
She was intensely interesting and pop

company was ever being sought.
House Built In 1925.
The house was built in 1875 By Richard
Cults, Mrs. MadisOn's brOther-in-Iaw II
came into the former Presidents hands
the year before his death, and he in
turn bequeathed II 10 his widow, Dolly
Because Of lack OF money. Mrs. Madl-
son found II too expensive 20 live in,
and rented it successfully TO Represent
tative William G. Preston Of South Car
Dina and Representative James I.
Roosevelt of New York. During that
time Mrs. Madison lived quietly at her
country estate In Virginia.
IN 1897 Congress appropriated $50. 600
with which 1t purchased Madison s diary
and with this money Mrs. Madison was
enabled TO take up her residence in her
city home. Washington was always at
traCtive TO her and she was glad to get
back. Her return was a renewal in pri-
vate life Of all her social triumphs. Her
parlors were always thronged and she
entertained practically up 70 the time
Of her death in 1919.
Mcclellan Used House
After her death the home was sold to
Admiral Wilkes. who occupied the house
until the civil war. During the second
year of the war, General Mcclellan
used the house as his headquarters and
its parlOrs then were the scenes OF great
military and naval social functions.

modelled its interior and has since added
