Battles With Subs

Another Tacoman has had a BAT
tie with the submarines, altno not
perhaps as thrilling as the one
witnessed by Frederick Phillips.
The latest report received here
of any Tacoman engaged in a sun
battle came in a letter from Macon
Gibson, who is doing convoy serr-
ice on the u. S. S. Martha Wash
ington.

saw where their shell hit and six
of the eight torpedo boats that
were with us made for the spot,
dropping depth bombs ana rnel
ran around in a circle dropping
40 or so bombs. Each one would
shake us and would sound like Il
pile-driver knocking at our sides.
They finished that one. Those
destroyers can sure get up and
ramble.
about half hour later, the
Powhatten, the transport that was
running next to us, fired upon an
other one about 1900 yards on
our starboard quarter. Then was
when old gun number came into
action and brought home the pa
con. We fired three shots, the
first at 1000 yards, next at LOO
yards and the last at 1,45O and
made a direct hit.
THE periscope was sticking
about foot out Of the water.
The soldiers were all on top side
with lifebelts and expecting to
hear a torpedo strike us every
minute. There was sure some
cheering when we got thru. The
torpedo boats ran all over the sp. {
.'but they did not drop any bombs
this time as all that they could
see was oil and bubbles. Just about
that time they sighted land aid

I'VE had a lot of cavalry and
about 1000 negroes on board.
These negroes are certainly funny
fellows. We had a few days OF
rough weather and a lot Of sc2-
sick men. Those negroes got aw-
fully religious. 1t was bad wealth

and their favorite song was THE

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
Its Easy-If You Know DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to feel
young to do this you must watch your
liver snd bowels - there's no need of
having a sallow complexion - dark rings
under your eyes - pimples - a bilious
look in your face - dull eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety
per cent of all sickness comes from in
active bowels and liver. s
DIR. Edwards, a well-known physician
in Ohio, perfected a vegetable com.
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.
Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets the substi-
tute for calomel, are gentle in their action
yet always effective. They bring about
that exuberance of spirit that natural
buoyancy which should be enjoyed by
everyone, by toning up the liver and clear
ing the system of impurities.
You will know DR.. Edwards Olive Tab
lets by their olive color. l0c and Csc per

SIXTY CARPENTERS
QUIT HOTEL JOB
Business Agent Declares
There Is No Strike at
Standard.

Sixty union carpenters employed in
the construction of the quarter of a
million dollar hotel being quilt by the
Standard Steel Car Company. on CO.
lumbia avenue. quit work this morn
ing.
w. L Reed, business agent for the
carpenters. denied that the men had
struck. He said they quiz work uv-
cause other places are paying so cents
an hour and the Standard only 70
cents an hour. Each man quit on his
own responsibility. Many Of them
have gone to work elsewhere already
and more viii go to work elsewhere

The following statement is submit
ted for publication;
TO THE PUBLIC AND UNION CAR
PENTERS OF THIS DISTRICT:
The Builders and Employers
Association OF the Calumet District
take this means Of advising the pros
pective builders that there win se no
delay caused by us. by opposing the
raise in wages asked by the carpen-
tiers Of this district. but we do de-
mand that the Union Brotherhood ac-
cept the clearance cards of any union
carpenter who may wish to work here.
also to accept for membership any
competent mechanic who may wish to
join, thereby supplying US with all
the men we require. We, knowing
that the largest per cent of the build
ing done, is paid for by men earning
one-half the wages per hour as the
carpenters demand. and that the high
cost Of living hits them even harder
than it does the building mechanic
have debated the ACCESSIBILITY Of meet
ing the raise without opposition, but
have decided that. as our country is
at war and the housing conditions OF
this district are wholly inadequate
and that any delay whatever caused
would be a boost for the kaiser. for
which we do not care TO be RESPONSE
BILE. However. to dc our bit We
have agreed to a man 10 share our per-
centage of profit to the smallest
amount consistent with good business,
and max il up by the volume of bus
mess we do.
W offer as a solution to this vex-
ing problem. relief in this manner.
That the union increase the working
day TO nine hours during the period
of the war. thereby increasing their
wages 12h per cent, at the same time
increasing the amoun Of work done
the same per centage. without the
need Of more men. without the require
ment of more houses for the mechan-
les. or for more light, fuel or food,
also making the use of the extra hour
of daylight. At the same time II
would give the home buyer or build
