RESTORES VITALITY
Gives Strength to the NervousIy
Weak and Run Down.

Peptiron is both medicine and food
for the blood and nerves. 1t is in
full accord with advanced science as
to the proper treatment of anemic
and neurasthenic conditions, in which
the need of more and better nourish-
ment is so apparent. 1t combines
iron and manganese with nux, celery,
pepsin and other tonics and diges-
tives. 1t supplies the deficiency of
red blood corpuscles in anemia, re-
pairs the waste of nerve tissue in
nervousness, gives color and stamina,
and restores vitality.

Colonel Piper, who is also president

Lunchroom Workers Plan
Fight to Keep Wages High
Will Strike if Necessary to Pre-
vent Reversion to Pre-War
Conditions

Workers in the smaller lunch rooms
and restaurants Of New York took ac-
tion last night to prevent employers
from forcing upon them pre- war wages
and working conditions.
Plans were formulated at a meeting
of the National Federation Of Lunch
Room and Restaurant Employees to
maintain the present standard of pay
and obtain a shorter working day. De-
mands Will be made upon the restau-
rant keepers soon, and If assurances
are not quickly Forthcoming a general
strike will be called.
1t was stated by officials of the or
ganization last night that the 10000
countermen, cooks and dishwashcrs in
these stores complain that with the ar
rival OF larger supply of help en-
pioyers were insisting that their work
ers accept lower pay and longer hours.
Advertisements, they declared, were
calling for workers at wages Just half
the prevailing rates
"A crisis in our situation has been
reached" said Henry Lachow, who pre-
sided at last nights meeting. "The
proprictors have anticipated our move
by organizing "A counter league, but
our federation liz strong and we shall
soon force them TO the wall.
During the war wages for counter
men reached $50 week, and cooks re-
eciyed az much az $40 Lunch con-

Union Asks Wilson
To Lift Beer Ban
And Let Men w Ork
Brewery Order Now Unnec-
essary, 1t Contends,
While Unemployment
Problem Grows Difficult

The Central Federated Union sent
an appeal to President Wilson yester-
day. requesting him to lift the ban on
brewing beer.
The communication, formulated as a
resolution during a conference of the
union, suggested that inasmuch as sus
pension of the brewing industry was
adopted as a war measure. there was
no further necessity for tho order and
its continued enforcement at this time
only served further to aggravate the
already difficult Unemployment prob
lem.
The resolution, made public by
Ernest Bohm. secretary Of the organl-
zation, reads;
"Whereas, Since it is apparent that
conspicuous among the problems in
volvcd in the work Of reconstruct
ton is that Of the growing number
of unemployed, it behooves us to
consider the elimination, so far as
possible, of all sources of enforced
idleness; and,
'Whcreas, Thousands of wage
carners have been deprived of en-
ploymcnt. with their numbers being
daily added to- as the inevitable re-
suit of the order OF the President

brewing of malt liquors for an in
definite period, having for its pur-
pose the conserving of food materials
as a war measure; and,
"Whereas, Although the war has
ended. economy in use of food ma
torials must still be practiccd. it is
APPARENT, however that whatever
conservation may be effected, the
continuance OF this order must
operate to increase unemployment
at home due to the sudden terlnina-
ton of the war, which could not have
been foreseen 1t the time of its is
suancc;
Resolved. That this conference.
representing men and women wage
earners of the State of New York
respectfully urge the President of
the United States to revoke this
order, and that a certified copy of this
resolution be forwarded to him and
to the food administrator at Wash
ington, ID. c.
Mr.. Bohm said the American Labor
Party, in which he is a leader. has
made prohibition one Of the i'm
portant issues in its campaign as a
reconstruction mesure. He felt the
hitting of the han on this order would
assure at least 100000 workers Of
Jobs and do much to ease uncmplov-
ment difficulties.

Higher Carfares in
Detroit May Foll0,U
Supreme Court Ruling

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Federal
court degrees upholding an ordinance
fixing the rate of strcetcar fares in
Detroit and dismissing proceedings
brought by the Detroit United Railway
to restrain its enforcement were set
aside to-day by the Supreme Court,
which held that the company was en-
titled to a reasonable return on its
investment. The case was remandcd
for further proceedings.
The Supreme Court held that the
lower court erred in not hearing the
case on its merits, and deciding
whether reasonable return was de-
MED. Justice Holmes, Brandeis and
Clark dssented
The case resulted from the company s
efforts to raise fares after the War
Labor Board had increased the maxi
mum wage rate for its employees from
forty to forty-eight cents an hour and
recommended an advance in fare to
meet higher operating costs This
award of the board the company
claimed, added $2,o00,oOO annually tc
its financial burdens
Petitions asking for permission to
increase its fare were denied by the
City Council, which shortly afterward
passed an ordinances fixing rate
schedule This, the company claimed
was contiscatory, although city officials
denied the contention. The company
then instituted proceedings to restrain
the city from enforcing the measure.
In deciding the case the Supreme
Court declined to go into the award of
the War Labor Board but confined its
attention wholly to the merits of the
suit.
Ordinances passed IL 1899 by the
city of Columbus. Ohio. requiring the
Federal Gas and Fuel Company to pay
annually into the city's general expense
fund 10 per cent of the gross amount
received for the sale of gas to citizens
was in effect upheld to-day by the Su-
nronn Court

Inc decision, according to members OF
the Anti-Saloon League of New York,
makes a "bone dry" area Of all proh-
btion territory.
Rollin 0. Everhart, editor of "The
American ISSUE" the official organ OF
the league, declared that the courts ac-
ton gave the prohibition forces "an,
other good laugh on Senator Reed y
who, according to the editor, intro
confusion, if possible. in the "dry'
ranks.
"The Reed provision" said Mr. Ever,
hart, 'was an amendment to the postal
appropriation act passed in 1917. 1t
reads in part as follows:
whoever shall order purchase or
cause Intoxicating liquors to be trans
ported in interstate commerce, except
for scientific, sacramental, medicinal or
mechanical purposes, into any state or
territory, the laws of which state or
territory prohibit the manufacture or
sale therein of intoxicating liquors for
beverage purposes, shall be punished as
aforesaid
"This amendment continued Mt.
Everhart, was introduced by SEN
ator whose sympathies were with the
liquor traffic. 1t was the theory OF the
liquor interests that prohihitlonlsts
dld not want. or would not accepV' '"O
bone dry condition.
"To Senator Reeds great astonlsn-
mcnt, however, the prohibitionists ac-
cepted it, pressed it through to enact
ment and have fought to sustain IT..
The amendment has been great help;
because it really makes bone dry
state Of every prohibition state. The
Joke. it would seem, is now on Senator
Reed.
"While it has been recognized and
enforced as a law. the Supreme Court
opinion concerning bringing liquor INTO
dry states. even for personal use,
gives it additional power. 1t is a great
victory for prohibition

tives passed to-day the Federal prohl-
