Is Your Rheumatism
a Weather Prophet?

1t is a sin to be a slave to the agonies of
rheumatism whenever the weather changes.
For so cents A. A. Howes & Co. or any drug
gist will sell you bottle of Rheuma. Use as
directed and your pains will soon disappear.
Rheuma will put your kidneys and bowels in
perfect condition. It gets to the seat of all the
trouble and removes the cause by driving out
the unnatural poisons. The use of one bottle
will convince you that further suffering from
rheumatism is needless.

u. S. High Court
Upholds Ohio Lau

II is believed the recent decision OF
the United States Supreme Court on
the Ohio workmenss compensation law
has ended litigation based on the CON
stitutionality of this act The court
sustained an award OF $4,000 to Harry
q. Bragg. who was crushed between two
cars in the yards OF the Jeffrey Manu-
featuring Company in Columbus.
The company contended that the COM
pensation law was unduly discrimnn-
tory because its provisions did not apply
to persons employing less than five Ia
oorers-' by the wording OF the eompen.
sation act the defendant COMPANY could
not plead the common law defences of
contributory negligence and fellow
servant responsibility.
At the time the suit was brought tho
compulsory feature OF the law had not

posts. granted last July, Is made per
mancnt the miners may bc forced to
take over several mining properties and
Operate them or lose the sum above
given.
The si25.0oo was deposited in four
northern Colorado banks when the
United Mine Workers. in order to pro-
vide work for the men out ON strike in
the north, deposited with the Lafayette
aud Louisville and two other banks
sums sufficient to guarantee the opera
tion OF the American Fuel Company and
the mines |, controlled.
The promoters tried to obtain a loan
from the United Mine Workers. but the
officials had no authority to lend money
in that MANNER The contract then was
signed by which the miners deposited
the various sums with the banks acting
a. agent in the loan making. When the
banks refused TO take more deposits of
this nature the union advanced SIS, 900
TO the American Fuel Company.
George NJ Williams. receiver of the
fuel company. cnjoined the miners from
getting their deposits because il was
declared the funds were held as security
for the American Fuel Company leans
and other obligations. This made the
district organization leaders of the min.
crs angry and they withdrew their funds
from the Lafayette bank. This fact,
together with the injunction suit, af.
fcctcd the banak and brought about a
consolidation OF assets with the Louis.
vile bank.
Asserting that the elimination OF the
dispute will permit speedy rcorgani.

the bank turned over its affairs to the
state banking department Wednesday.

interested with local men in putting the

said there are nsscts worth twice that

LAWSON ATTENDS

Together With E. ?. Cestifan
IN Protecting Miners
Industrial Relations Csnaissisn Hear.
in( 0psns With Untsfnsy9 - fhe
Stand: Absentee 0wnsrship

John 4. Lawson, national executive
board member for Colorado, and Attor-
ney Z. p. Costigan are in New York rep
resenting the United Mine Workers of
District Is at the hearings of the fed
eral commission on industrial relations,
where Rockefeller, Carnegie and Russell
Sage funds are being probed. Costigzn
represented the miners during the con-
gressional investigation held in Denver.
He and Lawson are in New York to pro-
tect and defend the miners against any
charges that may be made by Rocke-
feller or witnesses interested in his
'philanthropic" work.
The New York hearing opened Mon
day with Samuel Untermeyer. who wac
one o. the attorneys in the congress
sional money trust investigation, as
the first witness. He asserted that
Rockefeller's plea OF responsibility for
the Colorado strike troubles was pre-
posterous.
'1u case like the Colorado Fuel and
Iron Company" said he, where there
are 1000 stockholders, and the stock II
listed IN Wall street, the big financiers
who control the 10 per cent viii have
no difficulty controlling the proxies held
by brokers in the street Also thev
have control Of the stock held by bank
efs.
The little stockholders just play pup
pet parts Even the directors ia some
Of the big corporations today have moth
ing 10 say. The management runs the
industry"
Untermeyer attributed the present in
du-trial unrest to absentee ownership
and the accumulation OF topheayy for
tunes
The great trouble with our big in
dustrial leaders, he said, lis that they
live in New York and know nothing Of
the working conditions OF their Inea and
even less of the sentiment of the cour
try. New York. you know. is even more
provincial than Oshkosh
Radical changes in the form of organ
lzstion of the Rockefeller and other
Foundations were urged by Untermcyer
i do not share the fear and distrust
that these foundations may be misman-
aged said Untermeyer, "but | do sug-
gest the following changes in their form
Of organization.
''First-That they b. incorporated un-
der federal law instead OF under state
charters
-Second-That no perpetual charter be
granted; there Is no reason why the
next generation should be so bound.
Third Their sire should be limited
"Fourth-That they should not be al
lowed to further increase their size by
allowing their income TO accumulate"
Happily said Cntermeyer. these
Foundations do not seem TO reflce; the
dubious ways by which the money be-
hind them was acquired. 1t is my be-
lief that they are well managed; man
aged unsclfishiy and with great public
good aud no harm

nlarly made the recipient of Rockefeller
