D. ". Hill AssalS Democrats Laws as
Trade Killers

Sikeston, Mo. The Democratic ad'
minstration was severely assailed, es'
pecially for the Underwood tariff law,
a, an enthusiastic meeting OF Republi-
cans Of the Fourteenth Congressional
Disrict here today.
Thomas Brown Of Charleston and
David w Hill Of Poplar Bluff, nominee
for Congress from the District spoke.
Brown dealt with state issues and Hi |
with naional questions.
Hill pointed out that although this
is great wheat growing district, the
p-cs.nt Democratic administration, by
passing the Underwood tar # law took
all the tariff cff Of wheat, and showed
how this inj lred this important indus
try.
Hill showed the inconsistency Of the
Democrats on the tariff by the passage
oil the protective tariff law on sugar and
dyestuf. Hill pointed that for six'een
years up to the passage Of the Under
wood tariff law the Uuited States had
had prosperity, but that Immediately
after the passage Of the law the saw
mills in this part oI the country prac'
tically all shut down, throwing many
men out OF work; wheat decreased TO
90 cents a bushel; 5000, 200 men
were made involuntary tramps, ana
that even the United States Offices
were used by the Government, not to
give jobs, but to seek j,bs for unem'
ployed men.
This panickV condition continued,
Hill said, until the war broke out, ana
the only prosperity we have is the re
suit Of the war and not as the result Of
the Underwood tariff law, but in spite
Of it.
Hill read an excerpt from letter
from his opponent, Congressman Rus
sell which shows the Fourteenth Dis
trict is Republican. The excerpt is
as follows:
1T must be conceded, when con
ironted With the official figures, thai
this district is clearly Republican on
normal vote by 1000 majority"
Hill was former Speaker Of the Mis-
souh House Of Representatives. This
District has elected Republican Con-
gressmen three times.

The regular time for the monthly
meetings was decided 10 be held on
the first Thursday in each month. All
members are urgently requested TO be
present as there will be business
brought before the Union in which all
are especially, interested.
The women ol this Union with all
other OF Missouri, sincerely trust thai
every voter Of this grand old State oI
Missouri, will study we'll the important
problem OF making this State wide
prohibition in the fullest sense Of the
word. We have fiIty'seven dry cities
now in the United States, but note the
fact Of these, nearly all are what We
term western states, Of this number,
Washington, Oregon and Colorado are
woman suffrage states however, thi'
need nat be the case in our state
il the voters will take the right view
Of the situation and act accordingly.

II to Any, Why not TO All?

II the Gardner land bank scheme
would do all Col. Gardner claims that
it will do, there is still one objection
10 it that Col. Gardner nor ony Other
man can answer: The Gardner scheme
makes no provision for the class o.
people needing state aid most. Near
Iy half ol Missouri's population dwell
in cities and towns. II is we'll known
Iact that the greater part Of this non
rural group consists Of skilled work
man and laborers. Their per capiti
wealth is low. II any group neet

state aid, they do. II state financial
aid is TO be given cheaply to any group
il ought 10 be given to this deserving
group TO aid them in purchasing homes.
Col. Garduer's scheme makes No pro-
vision at all for this great mass CI Mis-
souri's population. His plan even
goes further and deliberately slaps
them in the face by approprating a
million dollars out Of taxes paid by
city and country alike TO start plan
which makes no provision for state
loans to all on equal terms. There
are a hall million tax payers in Ms
sour trying to pay If the mortgages
on their homes. There are just as
many who would like TO own homes.
They are hard working ambitious
people. Statistics show cities, towns
and villages pay over hall the taxes in
Missouri. Do you think these people
relish paying taxes into the state ueas.
ury TO be used to start plan from
which they can receive no benefit:
whatever Col. Gardner, watch the
result in November and see.

A Democrat newspaper complains
because the Republicans, wis formerly
favored federal tariff board, are op-
posing it now. The same paper might
have called attention to the fact that
Wilson and the Democrats who OPP
posed tariff board four years ago, are
for it now. A tariff board to make
sure Of competent protection and one

very different things. The Republi

GarretsOn of Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
The vote of the four brOtherhOOds,
now being CanYassed in New York,
will give the officers of the unions
the right to call a strike, if neces-
sary, to enforce the eight-hour day
demand.
This strike, if called, will involve
TWO MILLION. men, employed by
1885 railroads, covering 257,211
miles, and will stop the wheels of
2,5O7,977 cars and 5000 Iocomo-
tives.
It will, of course, ties up the ma
TONS traffic completely and cause
indirectly an unestimated and inesti-
mable loss to every person in the ma
ton.
What the workers want is this:
Schedule of pay based on moving
freight train 100 miles or less, in
stead of ten hours or less, the pres
ent basis.
In other words, the workers want
the speed of freight trains increased
from 10-mile-an-hour average to a |
1212-mile-an-hOUr average, in order
that they can get home instead of
spending two or more extra hours on
the road.
Twenty-fOur railroads already
have an eight-hour day, the union
men argue, and none of them are run
by receivers.
AS a PENALTY for working them
overtime, and to insure observation |
of the eight-hour day, the workers
want the railroads to pay them

lar wage whenever heavy trains and

WHY DEAD HORSES ARE LEFT
LYING IN STREETS

"One of the reasons that dead an
imals have been left on the streets
so long" said a union teamster to-
day, is that the teamsters employ
ed by the Canal Melting Co., former
ly the Globe Rendering Co., are on
strike. All drivers and chauffeUTs
hauling dead animals are strike
breakers"

in length and increase in number Of
trains, to make greater speed pos
sible.
It would cost $1oo,oOo,oOo-a dol
lar a year for every inhabitant of the
United States-to grant the mems
demands for a single year, the rail-
road officials assert.
Again this claim the union men
maintain it would not cost the rail-
roads one-quarter of that amount if
they would shorten hours instead of
keeping hours at their present length
and paying the overtime penalty.
And the railroads can well afford
to pay the probable cOst-S2O,OO
900 to $25, O,OOO-in view of their
increased profits and the greater re-
ceipts, coupled with the fact that
railroad men are giving the roads
greater service, because of longer
rains and stronger engines, than
ever before; such is the unions an
swer.

Recent Clash Described.

BERLIN, Wednesday, December IL,
by wireless to the Associated Press
via Sayville, n. Y. December 16 Ode
layed in Observation-Disclosures re-
ceived here from Athens give the fol-
lowing account of the recent CLASH
there between the Greek and entente
troops:
The collision was provoked and started
by the force of Vice Admiral Du Fournet.
then commander of the entente allied
squadron in Greek waters. This force
was landed at night and began at dawn
a surprise march to Athens. This march
was continued Notwithstanding efforts OF
leaders on both sides to have it stopped.
The bombardment Of the royal palace
was opened without warning. The queen
and the royal children were forced hastily
to take refuge in the cellars of the palace
during the firing, which continued for
three hours.

Street Battle Fought.

Fighting between loyal troops and
partisans of former Premier Venizelos
which began on the first day, developed
on the second day into a street battle
Well armed Venizelists fired from houses
upon the troops and even upon civilians,
but the loyal forces eventually were able
to suppress the uprising. Before the ex-
piration of the ultiniatum the loyal troops
were reinforced by several thousand vol
unteers, as it had been expected the
entente would resort to forcible means to
obtain compliance with it's demands.
