that the, same manufacturers who
make use Of the labor of children OF

The American Association for Ad-

with ''phossy Jaw a terrible disease

Al great deal has been said IN the
public press about the condition o.
finances under the present administra-

bers of the city Council have claimed
that the Socialists were showing
wanton extravaganza, foolish expen-

handling Of the city's finances.
To prove this charge the opposition
introduced resolution in the City
Council demanding Of the city comp
troller, Carl P. Dietz, complete state

Socialists had been in Office, as com
pared with the preceding three month

There is little change in the situation.
Nearly 200 men are working in the shops
and everything In the traffic department
is running smoothly. The letter which
we sent 10 the men asking their return
20 work has had little effect as yet, but
Il Is too early to say what effect II Will
have, as the men would naturally stay
out until the last minute. A number OF
the men who walked out are returning
10 work all over the division, and every
thing is working out satisfactorily so far
as the company is concerned ANY ru
mors about the tranmen going out In
sympathy with the shopmen are foolish
stories. for we have no grievance with
the trainmen. They are not being asked
10 do any work except their own, and
there is no intention on the part OF the
company 10 ask them TO do any strike
work. The trains are all being properly
inspected.
I'VE are taking back any men who de-
sire TO come back. and We are guarantee
ing them full protection. but we have
made no arrangements as yet for housing
them. The boarding house which We are
