field, Mass.

Troy, Jan, 29,--The General Electric
Company of Schenectady announced
yesterday that wages viii be reduced
on Feb, 2 for houry workers 10 per
cent, and for piece workers Is per
cent. Reduction is to enable the com
pany "to meet competition" it Is stat.
ed In the note.
The wartime working force at the
General Electric plant was slightly
more than $4,000 men and women, in.
cluding about 5000 In the offices.
From time to time for several
months men have been laid off, when
jobs on which they were employed
ran out Two weeks ago there was
a general reduct on In the number
Of workers which the company an
nounced rs at least 10 per cent. No
official figures have been given out as
to the number now employed.
The company explained that the
action was taken with the expecta-
tion that orders vii. be secured
which otherwise might be lost to
competitors on account OF the lower
prices which can be met only by
lower cost of production, and with
the hope that more constant work
will hereby be provided employees"
There has been talk of the posi-.
bility Of taking back some of the
men now idle.
The announcement was posted
after a series Of discussions in which
shopmen took part. Union leaders
said that night they did not believe
the reduction was justified by reduc.
tions In the cost OF living, but that
individual local unions would keep
the matter in the discussion stage,
until joint action colld be decided
upon There has - no display of
hostility in lay offs
A REIMBURSEMENT Of the wages of
the 1900 employees OF the General
Electric Company of Lynn, Mass, is

Gated by reports from Schenectady,

MANY CASES OF
RHEUMATISM NOW
Says We Must Keep Feet Dry, Avoid
Exposure and Eat Less Meat

Exposure and Eat Less Meat
Stay off the damp ground, avoid
exposure, keep feet dry, eat less meat,
drink lots of water and above all take
a spoonful Of salts occasionally to
keep down uric acid.
Rheumatism is caused by poisonous
toxin, called uric acid which is gen.
Grated in the bowels and absorbed
into the blood. 1t is the function of the
kidneys to filter this acid from the
blood and cast it out in the urine. The
pores of the skin are also a means Of
freeing the blood of this impurity. In
damp and chilly, cold weather the
skin pores are closed, thus forcing
the kidneys to do double work, they
become weak and sluggish and fail to
eliminate this uric acid which keeps
accommodating and circulating through
the system, eventually settling in The
Joints and muscles causing stiffness,
soreness and pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put tablespoon
full in a glass Of water and drink be-
fore breakfast eacr morning for a
week. This is sad to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action, thus Kidding the blood
of these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice. combined with lithia
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism.

rotary went to Tampa yesterday and
selected the uniforms for the boys this
season. Very satisfactory selections
were made. The road uniform will be
grey with trimmings of navy, while
the home uniform will be white with
navy trimmings.
Work at the ball park is progress
ing slowly, but it is hoped that thing;
will be in shape for the beginning OF
practice on March 81. Manager
Swacina has signed up practically all
his men, and they will begin to ar
rive in Lakeland next Monday.
A meeting Of the directors will be
held some time this week when the
schedule will be planned The games
are to start on April 2lst, instead o!
the 18th as first announced.
The directors will also fix the hour
for beginning the games. There is
considerable discussion going on as to
the advisability of beginning at 4:3C
instead of at 400, as has been the
hour in previous seasons. Manager
Swacina. for one, believes that the
later hour will make it possible fol-
some to attend who could not other
wise do SO. In the case Of those who
work until S o'clock. only half hour
of the game would be missed each day
which allowing for prellminaries
would mean only a couple of innings
And again, many fans would find II
possible to leave their work a little
earlier. An expression from the fans
themselves on this subject will be ap-
preciated and will assist the direc.
tors in deciding the matter.
