WAGE RAISE FOR RAIL
EMPLOYEES IN TEN DAYS
u. S. Labor Board Ends Hearings at
Chicago-To Settle at Least
200 Questions.

Chicago, June 5.-That increased
pay for all rail employees will be
granted within the next week or ten
days was the intimation Of the men,
bers of the United States rail labor
board, which closed it's public hear
ings here on Friday. The "intima-
ton was taken by most of those in
terested to be virtually a definite
promise. The board went into execu-
tive session to decide the many prob
lens presented to it during it's open
hearings.
q. M. Barton, chairman of the board.
said it was his opinion that within a
short time the board would be able to
give the rail employees relief. The
employees have demandd Is cents an
hour as temporary increase.
"We are going into executive session
with as many as 200 questions to de-
eide upOn," said the chairman. eve
will not be able to come to any de-
cision on these for some time But
to relieve the present situation think
that within week or ten days we
shall be able to announce a partial
award. This, of course, will only be
temporary.
'This will help the employees and
also give us amL-e time to work out
the details at our leisure. There are
some things that we cannot rush
through. But we realize how foolish
it would be under existing conditions
not to do something to stop this labor
unrest"

MAYOR ASKS PEOPLE
TO BUY WAR STAMPS

Z Mayor Hartzog today issued d final
appeal for the people Of this c0mrnu1l-
ity to buy War Savings Stamps, and
$1O0 Treasury Savings Certificates
during the next few days. Accord
ings to word from the Ohio War Saw
ings Committee Ohioans must buy at
least $1,0O0,000 worth of government
savings securities during the next
few days if Ohio is to maintain it's
lead over New York. That this
amount may be obtained Mayor Hart
zog has heen asked to have the citi-
zens of this community buy their re-
snective ouota. The race between
Ohio and New York during April has
developed into neck and neck affair,
according to word received at the
mavor's office. Due to the great drive
being made in Ohio more government
securities have bsen sold during the
first few weeks of April than during
anv other like period but New York
aleo has shattered all former records.
The mayor pointed out that $lOO
treasury saviTgs certificates may be
bought at the postoffice during the
next few davs for $83 but after May
/ they will increase in price. These
certificates are tax exempt, are
equivalent approximately to a 6 ner
cent investment, are readily cashable
and always increase in value. They
cannot decrease. The certificates are
registered at time of purchase
against loss by fire and theft.

GAS COMPANY TURNS
DOWN ORDINANCE Al

The city council has been advised
that the ordinance passed at the last
meeting respecting the proposed in
crease in gas rates in this city is not
at all acceptable to the gas company.
This information was received here
this week from the company.
The rates, as embraced in the Or
dinance, are acceptable to the COM
pany, the exception being a minor de-
tail in the franchise itself which pro-
vided for continuous fixed pressure.
The company states that, in the ma
ture of the gas business, continuous
fixed pressure would be impossible to
maintain. For that reason they did
not wish to assume an obligation that
could not be fulfilled.
The present rate is 38 cents per
thousand cubic feet. Under the new
ordinance, the rates would have ad-
vanced in June to AZ cents for the
first 1000 cubic feet; So cents per
1000 for the next 5000 feet; the
next 5000 at So cents, and all over
$4,000 feet at the rate of 63 cents per
1000 cubic feet. The three cent dis
count for prompt payments would OBJ
tain as now.
The Objectionable feature is the
maintenance of an eight-ounce pres
sure at all times.

SAYS ALICE DEAN
WAS FIRST TO VOTE

James Van Kleeck, of Bay City,
Mich, doubts the claim that Susan
B. Anthony was the first woman vot-
er. He says that if she was it was
only because the Rochester, N. Y,
election of 1872 was held a few hours
earlier than the Michigan election
that year.
cat the election of 1872 Miss Alice
Dean was the first woman to vote"
said Mr.. Van Kleeck. "In that year I
was member of the Michigan cleo
ton board.
"Miss Dean, accompanied by her
father, appeared at the polls and Of
fered her vote. The question of re-
ceiving it was submitted to the board,
which decided that Miss Dean was as
competent to vote as any of the men
standing around the polls and her
vote was received.
"I am the only member of that
board who lived to see the state adopt
woman suffrage and the United
States prepared to do likewise. No
member of the board ever regretted
permitting Miss Dean to vote"
The dramatic effort of Susan E.
Anthony to exercise what she regard
ed as her right to vote, following a
study of the Fourteenth Amendment,
resulted in her arrest, as well as that
of Ia other women at Rochester in
November, 1872, Each was held
guilty and ordered to furnish $500
bail. Miss Anthony refused and ap-
piled for a writ of habeas corpus.
She never paid the fine and no effort
was made to force her to do SO.

DRAMATIC COMPANY
TooPEN SATURDAY

The big crowd will probably drift
toward Huntington and Washington
streets next Saturday night when the
famous Newton-Livingston players
open their seven-day season of mod
ern dramatic offerings with "Won by
Waiting" a successful comedy
drama with heavy heart interest. In
addition to the drama, high class
vaudeville acts will intersperse.
Many of the players are old favor
ties who formerly appeared here with
Minelli Brothers and their reappear-
ance is an indication of crowded
houses at every performance.
Not the least interesting feature of
the show is the low. prices that will
be quoted as compared to the same
line of attractions on the house cir
cults.
Medina should patronize this home
aggregation of players who are open
ing their season in this city.
