MATTRESSES CASE OFFERS ODD I
HIGH LIGHTS.


HIGH LIGHTS.
Despite the fact that during the
strike at the Knab, Powers and Eff
ting restaurants union waitress pick
cts were arrested time after time
every day for a period covering
weeks, thrown into filthy cells in the
Harrison police station and only es-
capped remaining in Jail for days when
their bonds were exhausted by the
ruling Of Judge ScUIly that they
might sign their own bonds, Dudley
Taylor, lawyer for the restaurant
combine known as the Chicago Food
Exchange Assn, the organization of
lunchmen formed to fight union
labor, admitted in Judge BaldWin's
court yesterday that there was no
dispute that the mattresses were
doing peaceful picketing.
Taylor, making an exception to his
almost UNMARRIED practice of Directing
to everything since the defense has
started presenting its side of the case,
admitted that along list of names, in
Guiding people of many professions,
who frequented the vicinity of these
restaurants during the strike, would
testify that the picketing had been
peaceful and the union pickets had
offered no violence or intimidation.
Taylor said the restaurant combine
were willing to admit that the picket
ing had been peaceful
Apart from this, little evidence
could be given except after long ar
guments.
Agnes Nestor, president of the !
Women's Trade Union league, put on
the stand by Hope Thompson, lawyer
for the mattresses, to testify what she
knew of hours, wages and general |
working conditions in the restaurant |
business in the latter part of 1913 be-
fore Knab signed up with the union,
was not permitted to testify.

Ebeling cOTrobOrated statements
of Elizabeth MalOney of the Wait

sations held with various IunchrOom
men in which they claimed they could
not sign up with union labor because
the Chicago Food Exchange Assn
would not permit them, and Frakes
told of threats made by Smith, once
on-a-time secretary to ex-MayOr
Busse and very active with the res
taUrant men in trying to break the
strike of the mattresses.
John Fitzpatrick, president of the
Chicago Federation of Labor, identi-
fed an agreement drawn up by him
self for a preferential shop and said
that the same was drawn up at the
request of Daily, a restaurant man
who is one of the compliments in the
present matter. That DAILY, a mem
Der of the Chicago Food Exchange
Assn, had declared if a preferential
agreement was offered the associa-
ton would accept it.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick said he had also
drawn the agreement to disprove the
contention that the mattresses were
arrogantIy demanding closed shop.
The preferential agreement was
h.
it. It was then ratified by the watt
resses', walters and cooks unions
and again sent to DAILY and there it
died, despite the repeated testimony
of tire restaurant combine that they
were ready to eat up preferential
agreement if one had only come their
way.
The hearing was continued until
Tuesday.

Washing Won't Rid
Head OF Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dand-
ruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it
entirely To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it
at night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning most
if not all of your dandruff will be gone.
and three or four more Applications will
completely dissolve and entirely destroy,
every single sign and trace OF it, no mat nat.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop at once,
and your hair will be fluffy, 1ustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store 1t is Inexpensive and never fails

DEs MONIES HIGH, TOO
Little River Is Showing Effects of
Rainfall Which Occurred at
Des Moines and Through
Iowa.

A rapid rise in the Mississippi and
Des Moines rivers is promised as a
result of the three days Of rainfall.
The weather bureau is forecasting a
stage of twelve feet for Keokuk by
Sunday. This will be over a two foot
rise. The Des Moines river rose
three and a half feet at Des Moines
yesterday. This is bound to affect the
river here.
The Mississippi showed a rise Of
one foot at Keokuk in the last twenty
four hours. There was three foot
rise in st. Louis. It is expected that
the rise in the river south of Keokuk
will be more rapid than it has been
at this station.
The rain has been general and the
river is showing the, effect of flooded
tributaries. The water is very muddy
and Is filled with the usual debris
which floats down 1t at spring floods.
The stage Of water at Des Moines
today was 1875, rise Of 3.6 feet. The
Ottumwa stage was 9.S, the rise not
being shown. The rising Of the Des
Moines above flood stage will endan
ger the farm lands in the bottoms,
and may cause considerable loss If
the water should go over the bikes.
The river is not at flood stage, how
ever, and there is a general feeling
that the present rains have not been
serious enough to bring it to the dan
ger line. z

Wabash Schedule Will Not
Be Liked,

The change in the schedule Of the
Wabash trains is not going to be popu-
lar in Carthage, according to the fol-
lowing from the Carthage Gazette:
The Wabash train east in the even
ing, No. ~, will after May 80, arrive

train west is changed from No. Is to
No. 10, connecting with No. 8, the

at 5:29 o'clock instead of S:57 o'clock.
There will be no trains in and out of
Carthage after 5:29 p. m. The pas
senge- east in the evening will arrive

Sunday is Memorial day, and the old

know Rev. notwithstanding said.
Now of course, you remember that
this service was announced for last

more recent invitation to join with
the old soldiers, we thought best to
change the date.
Remember, next Sunday morning at

old soldiers have asked us to march
to the church with them. If late,
come direct to church.

want to do our part in observing this
