DECIDE ON STRIKE
AT DETROIT MEET

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 8.-Wheth-
er there will be declared a strike
that it is claimed, will tie up all
rail transportation in this country
and Canada, will be decided at the
convention of the international
United, Brotherhood of Maintenance
of Way Employees and Shop Labor
ers, which was to open here today.
With from 1000 to 5000 delegates,
representing, it is stated, 600, 900
maintenance of way and shop work
ers, attending the convention, is
ready to consider action on the
strike vote canvassed last week,
which stood 325,000 for and 5000
against the proposed strike, should
wage demands of the brotherhood be
denied. Director General Hines is eX-
pected to address the men during the
convention.
The brotherhood also asks a new
working agreement which, with the
wage demands, has been laid before
the director general. Officials of the
organization have expressed the view
an agreement satisfactory to the men
may be reached.
1t is claimed twenty-five per cent
of the maintenance of way and shop
workers represented receive less than
$3.50 a day. An increase in wages
of 81 per day per man is demanded.
The convention will sit at least
two weeks and, among other matters,
will consider a provident plan, with
death benefit; creation of an educa-
tional system, providing technical
school scholarships and promoting
efficiency, and the organization of
Woman's auxiliary.

u. S. WAREHOUSE
SYSTEM LIKELY TO
INCLUDE ATLANTA

The inclusion of Atlanta in the
federal licensed warehouse system is
indicated in the arrival here of r. L.
Nixon, chief of the warehouse Sec
ton of the bureau of markets, Uni
ted States department of agriculture.
Headquarters for the entire south
east will be set up here, according to
Mr.. Nixon, with a federal inspector,
F. G. Crout, in charge. Offices will
be located in the Trust Company of
Georgia building.
The federal licensed warehouse
system is being established to pro-
tect cotton producers and make it
possible for them to secure ad-
vances on cotton, thus obviating the
necessity of throwing it upon the
market at inopportune times. This
elimination of distress cotton" is
expected to prove of immense benefit
to the cotton farmers of the south,
who are anxious to see the licensed
warehouse system universally eStab-
lished.
Under the federal plan, a ware
house, in order to be accepted by the
government as unit OF the system,
must be so constructed as to give the
greatest protection against fire or
other damage; must be in charge of
a trustworthy and efficient superin-
tendent and bond must be given to
the amount of IS per bale capacity.
The minimum bond is $4,000 and
the maximum $4,000.
Cotton producers may. store their
cotton in such warehouses, taking re-
ceipts whic hmay be hypothecated to
secure loans from financial institu-
tions. A small inspection fee is
charged, while the Southern Under
writer's Association has agreed to
accept the federal inspection certifi-
cate as a basis for reducing in
surance rates on all licensed ware
houses.
Mr.. Nixon is cooperating with the
American Cotton association and has
indicated his desire to assist in ev-

"Try again shouted Tanner, we
must save her."
The engines big electric eye had
now brought them into direct focus.
The crossing on which the tragedy
was being enacted was as brilliantly
Illuminated as stage.
The roar of the train and the vi
bration of the rails served to revive
Mrs Tanner. She half raised her
self, and called to her husband:
"Will, I don't think you can save
me-"
He could not hear her and bent
over her. She repeated her words
and added:
''Will, leave me. The babies and
your MOTHER
The train was not more than fifty

her close to him. She put her arms
about his neck.
'I stay with you, Mary" he said,
and closed his eyes.
Miller even then made one last eff
Tanner by the shoulders and pulled
with all his strength. His efforts
were futile, but he continued them,
and when the pilot Of the engine
struck the couple and hurled them
fifty feet, he was carried along with
them.
By miracle he escaped death, but
he sustained a fracture of the right
arm, and his left leg was so badly
crushed it was necessary to ampu-
tate it.
Tanner was a young man and a
railroad cashier. He leaves three
children. Both his father and step
father were killed by trains and his
mtoher had often warned him to be
most careful. HIS mother, Mrs. w. d.
Chattley, said tonight: f
my first husband was killed
while crossing the tracks in front Of
a train at Mechanicsvil1e, N. Y. My
second husband was run down and
killed by train in Albany, and now
it is my son. I'm glad he chose to
die that way. If he had lived, he
would have gone mad. I will do the
best I can for the children"

Residents Of Chicago and of near
by Illinois towns were much thrilled
last week over the story of the he
roic self-sacrifice of william Tan
ner, of Hubbard's Wood, Ill. who,
when he could have chosen life, de-
wife when death in a terrible form
rushed upon her, and though at the
last moment she had begged him to
save himself.
While crossing the Northwestern.
railroad near their home, Mrs. Tan
ners foot was caught in a groove
between one of the rails and plank.
A fast train was within 500 feet of
her. Her husband struggled fran
tically to pull the foot loose.
John Miller, the crossing flagman,,
came to his assistance and both
worked in desperation with the head
light flashing full upon them. Then
there was roar and a rush. The
Waterman leaped aside, but was hit
by the steam box and seriously hurt.
AS the Engine Struck
Tanner gave up the struggle to
free his wife and clasped her in his
arms as the big engine struck. The
engineer had shut off steam and used
the emergency brakes, but the train
was heavy and it's speed was not
materially reduced until it had passed.
Husband and wife were carried fifty
feet, crush and mangled to death.
Badly hurt as he was Miller man
aged to tell the story of the tragedy.
"It was about $40 O'clock" he said.
.'when the Tanners reached the cross

fic to stop, but they could have
easily crossed but for the fearful
thing that happened. Mrs. Tanner

the following statement: 81 had suffered
with Fits Epilepsy for over fourteen years.

Turkish tangle, having such conflict
ing aspirations that it would appear
unlikely that they can agree on the
partitioning of Turkey among them
selves without an arbiter.
Meantime, the British withdrawal
from Armenia is threatening the en-
tire Armenian population with mas
sacre, and the Turks are showing
increased hostilities to the Italian
troops in southern Anatolia and to
the Greek troops in the vicinity of
Smyrna. In fact all Asia-Minor is
in a state of ferment while the grand
vizier in Constantinople is holding
meetings with representatives of va
rious allied commissions and endeaV-
oring to raise funds to hold Turkey
together pending an international
decision as to her future.
The conference undoubtedly will
take a recess when the Austrian,
Bulgarian and Hungarian treaties
are signed and it is likely that many
of the new members of the confer
ence will participate in the delibera-
tions after the United States decides
whether it will accept mandate
for Turkey and the entire Near-East-
ern question will be considered.
Probably many new experts will be
called and much smaller delegations
from the principal countries.
The entire Turkish problem hinges
on the attitude of the United States
towards the mandates.

FOOD WORK HELD UP
England and italy Have Not Named
Their Members So Far.


Paris. JAM; s.--England and Italy
have not yet appointed their members
to the International food commission
and. consequently revictualling plans
under the direction of Herbert C.
Hoover have not been perfected. This
delay also has rendered it impossible
for him to arrange for the purchase
of fa is. and other foodstuffs urgently
needed by the populations of regions
evacuated by the German armies
One of the greatest immediate needs
is for fats, virtually Ill of which must
come from America. Sufficient guam
titles of pork products ar not avail
able elsewhere. 1t is expected that
the German ships required to send
food to the people to be supplied will
be available shortly after the opening
session of the peace congress. The de-
lay in formulating preliminary food
plans is causing the greatest uneasi-
ness among representatives of the
people who are now seeking relief
as a means of checking Bolsheviki.
The representatives of the allied ma
tions here intend to give immediate
consideration to the question of miti-
eating the severity of the blockade
of the central powers, according to
ndications today. Such mitigation, it
is pointed out, would be granted in

Taking Tanlac.

My son-in-law had gottem-so much
benefit from the use of Tanlac that
decided to try it, too, and L couldn't
ask for anything better than the way

Springfield, Mo-. where she is well
known.
For two or three months before
started taking Tanlac," she continued,
my kidneys had been worrying me
SO that L couldn't rest with any peace
at night. There was a dull, aching
pain, just like neuralgia, right in the
small of my back, and my back would
get so stiff-and sore it would almost
kill me to stoop over and straighten
ny again and I would suffer till I
would actually zShave schills. My
nerves were all on edge so that could
hardly sleep at night, was badly con-
stipated and was often subject to at
lacks Of Indigestion. I would get so
dl owsy during the day that 1 would
almost go to sleep standing up, and I
became SO weak and miserable that
Il couldn't do thing around the
house.
II have taken three bottles of Tan
lac now and it has done me a world
of good already. My kidneys don't
bother me like they did before, that
misery in my back is almost all gone
as well as the soreness and stiffness
that troubled me so much. That dull.
dI ovsy feeling has left me entirely, my
nerves are quieter and 1 sleep like a
child at night My stomach trouble
has been relieved also and I never
suffer from indigestion at all, that con-
stipated condition has been removed

Allen to Take No Hand.
News from Wichita today was to
the effect that Henry J. Allen, gov
ernor-elect. would watch the speaker
ship fight from the side lines. Close
friends of the new governor declared
Allen would not take chips in the
fight.
Both the house and the senate will
organize Monday afternoon. The eX-
act hour of the speakership caucus
has not been fixed. The senate or
ganization will be a very formal. cut
and dried affair. The house speaker
ship will be worth Watching, provided
the counting of noses in advance of
the caucus does not settle the dispute
House members will also settle a
very lively fight for chief clerk. Clar
ence Miller, who held the JOB two
term. He is opposed by Ike Lambert
of Emporia, chief clerk in 1915. If
Lambert is pushed into the race
against George for secretary of the
senate, rather pretty contest may
be staged in the upper house. There
is fight for most of the subordinate
jobs in both houses But the real
races just now are for speaker and
chief clerk of the house.
Aliens Policies.
Much interest surrounds Governor
Aliens message to the legislature. The
new governor is strong with the house
membership which comes fresh from
the people inspired by desire to
help Allen put across his program.
One of ALIENS strongest legisla tive
friends is Charles Ridgeway of Wy
andotte. Ridgeway is ready and anx-
ious to go to bat for any proposition
which the new governor may urge.
Nor will Ridgeway lack support.

gram, highway construction, revision
of taxation and compensation laws.
public health measures, betterment of
state property. the public utilities
commission and welfare legislation
are among the problems of most con-
Germ among the members now in To-
peka. Many. members have already
prepared rough drafts of bills to be
offered early in the session. There
is a rather general demand among the
members for a short, business like
session and an early adjournment. But
Kansas and Topeka have heard those
demands before. Every law ma kine
