MAN VISITSC|TY
MEMBER OF LONDON FIRM HERE
TO CONFER WITH
LOCAL DEALERS.
Talks Interestingly of the Naval
Stores Business and Says Present
Season Should be a Big one-Fav.
orabIy Impressed with this city.

James Watt, of James Watt & Son.
OF London, dealers in naval stores, is
in Brunswick to confer with the ship
pers of naval stores in this city re-
garding this year trade.
This is the third trip Mr.. Watt has
made to this co, ntry. On his two
other trips, which were on similar
missions, ne came as far south as
Savannah on one of them and to
Charleston on both the previous trips.
but this time he decided to include
Brunswick in his itinerary owing to
the growing Importance Of this city
as a naval stores port.
During the day Mr.. Watt conferred
with various people connected with
the naval stores business and took
good look at our harbor. Really,
Brunswick has an excellent harbor,"
said the visitor, and you have
pretty and progressive little city
here"
Mr.. Watt is the head of the firm
that controls the French trade in
naval stores. His trade with Spain
and other European countries is also
extensive. In England his firm is
counted among the leaders in this
branch of the worlds commerce.
"The pros"ects for a big naval
stores business this year are very
favorable" said Mr.. Watt. In fact
this promises to be a banner year. The
English trade is good, and | expect
that there will be a big business in
all countries.
Il have come to your city to dis
cuss trade conditions with the large
naval stores concerns which make this
their headquarters.
ION my arrival in New York the
green grass was a joy to my eyes. In
England the terrific heat This season
has caused all the grass to dry up
and turn brown. The heat has been
terrific. All over England and France
the people say that this has been the
hottest summer in seventy five years.
In London the thermometer rose to
100 degrees, a phenomenal figure.
While the people of Brunswick tell me
that the city is at present experience
ing very hot weather it feels COM
paratively cool to me after what
have been through in London"
Mr.. Watt will leave this morning to
visit various Florida naval stores
ports.

| hours after she had sailed for New
York. Her more than two thousand
passengers We're unframed, but they
had an exciting story to tell of the
collision with the British cruiser
Hawke.
The steamer took in considerable
water, and it was at first thought that
it would be necessary to beach her,
| and Captain Smith made for mid
bank in the Cowes roAdstead. The
pormpt closing of the collision doors,
however, effectually stopped the in
rush Of the sea, and her commander,
convinced that there was no imme-
date danger brought the vessel about
and headed for Southampton.
The Olympic was off Osborn bay,
on the north coast of the Isle OF
| Wight, enroute for Cherbourg. her
first immediate stop on the way to

cruiser was passing the liner to star
board, when suddenly the former drew
in and crashed into the steamers
quarter, about twenty feet from the
stern. After the impact the Hawke
drew astern and her crew threw col
lision mats over a badly damaged
bow
Exhibited Ugly Hole.
The Olympic as she drew away from
the cruiser exhibited an ugly hole,
into which great quantities of water
! flowed. Captain Smith ordered the
collision doors closed and turned his
vessel toward the beach. At the same
time he signalled for aid to Ports
mouth and Cowes, both of which ports
/ sent tugs. but their aid was not re-
CURED A quick examination showed
that the Olympic was still seaworthy,
and she was brought about and
steamed slowly for this port The
Hawke was also able to make port
without aid.
There was considerable excitement,
Sut no panic on board the liner, the
passengers OF which were quickly re
assured ~ the officers.

BY BIG STRIKE
FIFTEEN HUNDRED MEN ASK FOR
AN INCREASE IN
WAGES.
Just at Dawn Yesterday the Men in
Uniforms Walked Out to Their
Meeting Place-Traffic Almost
: Completely Tied Up.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 20.-Fifteen
hundred employees of the Detroit Uni
ted Railway company went on strike

The men get %, 25 and % cents an

an hour.
Last night leaders of the local street
car mems association took up head
quarters in public hall, and as soon
as the crews finished their respective
runs, they marched TO the hall. Just
as dawn was breaking hundreds of
men, still wearing their uniforms,
went marching in every direction to-
wards the meeting place.
All at Meeting.
Practically all of the men were at
the meeting this morning" said one of
the strikers.
Only about fifty were absent. There
was not dissenting vote on the strike
proposition"
Out through the great factory dis
tricts in the north, east and west ends
a great army of workingmen trudged
down the center of the streets. There
was no car service.
Fair Officials Worried.
State Fair officials We're out early,
anxious and worried about conditions
at the fair grounds With the big ex-
position under way only two days, and
with thousands of persons expected
the rest of the week, it means a great
loss to the association.
The men are asking for a raise o.
Hwo cents an hour, and when the com.
,pany at one point in the conference
asked whether the union would con-
slider a thirteen hour day at the new
Gchedule, they offered to try the hours
for thirteen days.
Company's Position,
The company insisted that if tht
question of wages was to be consid-
cred, the men must accept thirteen
hour schedule without trial.
The wages which exist at present
are 20 cents an hour for men who
have worked less than six months; %
cents for those who have worked I'M
der eighteen months, and % cents for
those who have worked over eighteen
months. The increase which the men
ask would make the maximum wage
30 cents and the minimum 25 cents.
Out of the 2,400 employed by the
company, 100 are members of the
association. The remaining 700 are
men who have been employed by the
company for less than ninety days
and who are not entitled to member
ship until they have worked tina
length of time.

Such a statement as the foregoing
should prove of unusual interest to those
suffering with similar troubles. The spe-

state that members of any family in
Omaha are likely to be found suffering
with the same nervous deblitated condi-
ton OF the body, as it is an all too COM

ciIAlly to imperfect digestion, which is
hperinduced by the strain of modern
city life. There is too much hastily eaten
food
Most people, however, are not seriously
affected by imperfect digestion" contin-
ued he. They are just loggy and nerv-
Gus and easily tired. They feel worn
out after a little exertion and are moody
and depressed. These are sure symptoms
of an oyerworked stomach that needs
