official cyclone chaser Is John ].

ment.

The 6remsn, 6remen helpers and
boiler men employed at the power
house of the Ohio Electrical Com
pany at Lindenwald who went on
strike Tuesday morning but re-
turned to their jobs the afternoon
of the same day want the public to
understand that they were not the
ones at fault because of the differ
ences existing between themselves
and the company not being adjus-
ted and the cars stopped running
when they did. And that they did
everything in their power to avoid
this circumstance
They say they presented their
demands and grievances to MI j.
P. Davis, chief engineer of the COM
pany on or about August 10th.
He told them it would be looked
after On or about August 18th a
committee representing the Fire
mems union called for his answer
but he said he would deal with the
men themselves. He was given
until September lst to answer. On
September 1st he told the men that
they are deserving and entitled to
all that they asked tor and more
but asked that they give him three
days more in order that he might
take II up with the officials of the
company. On Tuesday morning
when they called he said he could
give them no satisfaction and to do
as they liked. The men then told
him they would wait until 9 o clock
for his answer. This was $3.50. At
9 o'clock they again asked him for
his answer with the same result as
before. They then told him that
they would work no longer and
whether he wanted them to draw
the fires or bank them. He told
them they could do as they id
pleased
The men say the truth of the
matter is that Davis never presen-
ted the demands made by the men

his job. They deny the statement
of Davis wherein he says that they

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing TO use is just plain
mulsifed cocoanut oil, for it is pure
and entirely grease1ess. It's very cheap,
and beats the most expensive soaps or
anything else all to pieces. You can
get this al any drug store. and a few
ounces will last the whole family for
months.
