TAKING STIMULANTS TO
EVADE ARMY SERVICE

New York, Aug. l.---Evidence that
young men were plotting to evade
conscription by the use of heart
stimulant which would cause ther
rejection by medical examiners was
laid before Francis G. Caffey, United
States district attorney, today by
Roscoe S. Conkln, deputy attorney
general, representing the New York
adjutant general. An immediate in
vestigation was ordered.
Mr.. Conkling obtained the infor-
nation from a man whose name he
withheld, but who told him that a
physician of pronounced pro-German
sympathies had arranged to treat
two young men with the drug previous
to their examination by the draft ex-
emption board of their district. The
names Of other young men who are
believed to have received offers Of
the same treatment also were given
to Mr.. Conkling
DR.. Karl Ostrhaus of the bureau
Of information for medical examin-
ers in Mr. Conkling's office, said il
would be an. easy matter to detect
the presence of the drug and that
tests would be applied in every case
of unusual heart activity.

COTTON MILL STRIKE
QUICKLY SETTLED
DEMANDS OF OPERATIVE c
PROMPTLY ACCEDED TO
BY MANAGEMENT

After having been in continuous
operation for thirty years without
encountering labor troubles of anv
character the Tombigbee Cotton Mill
experienced its first strike Monday
morning, when thirty-five employees
OF the spinning room walked out.
The operatives did not seem to be
dissatisfied with the remuneration re-
eeived, but on the other hand, gave
unsatisfactory working conditions
as the cause of the strike. However,
when the management offered to in
crease their wages 25 per cent they
seemed perfectly satisfied, and re-
turned to work on Tuesday morning.
1t is stated by the management
that the trouble resulted from the
extreme heat as much as from any
thing else. The weather during the
early part of the week was extremely
hot, and the spinning room was nat
urally uncomfortable. Another CON
tributory cause was the child labor
law. The spindles were formerly
operated by children, but the enact
ion of recent laws has forced the
management to substitute adult la
Dor, and the remuneration was hardly
sufficient to support the average
man or woman.
Mr.. Burris, the president of the
mill, has always pursued an exceed
ngly liberal policy towards his en-
ployes, and his prompt action in in
creasing the wages of operatives in
he spinning room without specific
demand on their part shows that he
is ever ready to extend to them every
deserved consideration,
