Men Tired of Waiting.

Washington, June 25-The rail-
road labor board at Chicago has

from the general unrest among rail-
road workers over the wage ques-
ton and the walkoutof yardmen
and other employees at Philadelphia,
Baltimore and other cities. Its text
was not made public but unoffcially
it was described as being Of force
ful character, ..a.s....
Soon after the White House an
nouncenent, of the presidents ac-
ton, w. N. Doak, vice president of
the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
'Ncn, issued warning that unless
.Acre was a settlement of the now
year-old wage controversy by the
erd of this week the situation prob
ably would be much worse than at
present.
Blames Labor Board.
The railroad labor board, Mr..
Doak said is wholly responsible
for the present bad situation" He
added that the, chiefs of the railroad
trctherhoods desire the public to
know "that this much-heralded and
advocated method OF adjusting
questions of this character, accord
in e tothe present indications. is a
rank and hopeless failure"
At the same time Secretary Will
son of the Department of Labor.
declared in formal statement that
while the labor board had had a big
task to perform it could "render no
better public service in the existing
situation than by coming to a speed
ier determination of the questions at
issue before it.
Mr.. Doak's statement said the rail
road labor organization had done
everything reasonable to keep trans
.portation moving and that they were
now, considering means to assist in
| every manner in preventing work
ME from leaving the services of the
roads, but that they knew full we'll
that the men must be given substan-
tial pay increases before their efforts
could be successfully ...
Denies Action Delayed.
Secretary Wilson in making pub
lie his statement denied the railroad
strike had ben discussed at the meet
ing of the cabinet with President
Wilson yesterday, or. that action on
the strike was delayed after he had
declared that the situation was so
improved that steps by the govern
ment were unnecessary.
After the cabinet meeting Secre-
tary Payne, who now is head of the
railroad administration, stated in the
presence of Secretary Wilson that
he had made report to the presi-
dent on the strike situation but that
mo action was taken after Secretary
WILSON, had stated that the situation
was improving.

Muncie brickmason had a
tired, no account feeling

A friend recommended Dreco
and now he is on the job,
feeling as well as ever.

I'm mighty glad friend of mine
told me about Dreco, for l was about
to stop work and go home for l felt so
bad. said Mr.. George Stowe, who
lives on South Ohio Ave, Muncie,
Ind. Mr.. Stowe is a brickmason by
trade and also contractor.
Every morning I'd get up feeling
tired, stretchy, no account and with
nasty taste in my mouth Often at
work I'd get so dizzy that I'd have to
sit down till it passed off One day
friend of mine advised me to try
Dreco, for lots of people around here
were praising it so highly. He had
taken it himself and it had done him
lot of good, SO got a bottle
This Dreco went right straight to
my liver and worked it off which put
a stop to those dizzy spells, headaches
and foul taste in my mouth. Every
morning now / roll out feeling great
full of energy and fit for work. l feel
better than I have in months, so it is
easy to see why l am recommending
Dreco to others"
Dreco acts on the bowels and re-
lieves constipation; rouses a sluggish
liver to full, action; strengthens the
kidneys; purifies the blood; quiets the
nerves; induces sound sleep and acts
as a tonic to the vital organs, giving
renewed energy and resistance.
All progressive druggists now sell
Dreco and it is highly recommended In
