LETTER SHOWS
OPPOSITION OF
lee To STRIKE
Head OF Trainmen Made Position
Clear Six Days Before Big
WaIkout was Declared OF.

Cleveland, Ohio, Nov. 14.-W. @.
Lee, president of the brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen, has author
lied the publication OF letter writ
ten by him to the general chairman
OF the Railroad Trainmen on one
of the leading western railroads.
indicating his position on the rail-
road strike recently averted.
The letter was written on Oct.
q. six days before the strike was
declared off. 1t read as follows:
Dear Sir and Brother:
Those who were in attendance
at the Chicago meeting last July,
IL honest enough to tell the truth,
well remember my pleading with
them not to take a strike vote on
the question of the IL per cent re-
duction of July /, but, instead, to
pass the strongest possible resolu-
ton against such reduction and
make IL clear in such resolution
that any further invasion upon our
rates or working conditions would
mean a strike. None of the organ
iZations' executives, however,
would accept that position, and our
on raw meat apparently to sucn
an extent that nothing but the re-
stOration of that IL per cent reduc-
ton would satisfy them.
Il could not make myself be-
lieve then, and surely not at this
time, that railroad men could take
the position that they would not
accept any reduction whatever, al
though all other classes of labor
were being required TO accept one
or more reductions fully equal tc
the 10 per cent designated in the
boards decision, No. 147.

which covered the whole country. No
attempt was made to pay any attention
to what had been charged up against the
organization in that distant past, but
plain statement was sent out showing the
attitude of the company, the diversity of
its ownership and its policy in dealing
with the public And that campaign has

 Petitions are being circulated here for and against the stock law. We understand both petitions are meeting with some success, but we are at a loss to say which is going to meet with defeat. However, we hope it will be the one "for," as we in this part of the county have too much outside pasture land that can not be very well utilized for any other purpose than for stock range.

HOT, DIZZY FEELING
Atlanta Lady's Uncomfortable and Annoying Condition Relieved,
 She Says, by Cardui.

Atlanta, Ga.-Miss Alice Frances Young, of 28 East Alexander Street, this city. says: After entering wo- manhood, I suffered SO much with wornanly weakness. My back ached. l would have, at certain times, a hot feeling that seemed to go to my head. Even my shoulders would hurt, and it made me very dizzy and uncomfort- able. When the blood would flow to my head-I suppose that was what it was-I would faint and feel so weak.
 T couldn't do my work. I had a good position, and this was surely annoying as well as embarrassing. I would usnallv have to go home and 50 to ped. 1 certainly suffered greatly.
 T heard of Cardui, and my mother bought it for me. It was the first and only medicine that ever did me any good for this trouble"
 Dizziness, headache, sideache, back ache, tired-out feeling and other dis agreeable symptoms are often signs of womanly troubles. Thousands of wo- men who formerly suffered from these and similar ailments have found Car dut very valuable remedy.
 Cardui is composed only of pure, vegetable ingredients which have long been recognized as of medicinal value in the treatment of many diseases and disorders peculiar to women.
 Take Cardui.

.O8 MILL TAX FOR
 NORMAL BUILDING

On account of the budget commit tee of the legislature holding the view that funds from the general revenue will not be available for an appro- priation for additional buildings at any of the state institutions, a millage tax of eight-hundredths of one mill for building purposes will probably be added to the State Normal Schools one-fifth mill maintenance tax, ac- cording to Pres. B. w. Torreyson, who returned last night from a stay of several days at the capitol. This tax, which will provide about $50,000 per year, has the approval of the budget committee and also of Governor Me Rae. MT. Torreyson said. It would delay the completion of the needed dormitory about one year, but would provide regular fund upon which fixed building program could be based. ts
 It is likely, President Torreyson stated, that all the taxes, for general revenue as well as for the institutions, will be combined and levied in a single bill, which would repeal the acts al ready passed for those purposes.

OBITUARY.

On Saturday morning, February 12, the gates of heaven were opened and the angel of death entered the home of Mrs. Emma Hammons and claimed her husband, Carl. He was 23 years, six months and 12 days old. He leaves behind him wife and two children, mother and nine brothers, two sisters and host of relatives and friends to mourn their loss. He will meet his father with all their loved ones who have gone on before, and, oh, what a happy time it will be when the rest are gathered up there. Trust in Je- sus, dear ones, and you will meet Carl on the golden shore. He did not own much of this worlds goods, but, thanks be to God, about four days
 before he crossed the mystic stream of death he was made rich in things eternal. While engaged in a prayer meeting in which our home circle was the only participants the glory of God came upon him and he was changed from darkness into light and he could truthfully say "old things have passed away, behold all things have become new" The remainder of his life was spent in praising God
 He was true husband and loving father. May the prayers of each Christian who reads this be for the bereaved ones, that they may live closer to God and that the unprepared may prepare to meet God while time and opportunity afforded them. His re- mains were laid to rest in the Sum- merly cemetery, Rev. D. Heslip con- ducting the funeral services.

MUTUAL GOOD WILL
 IS LABOR SOLUTION
(Bv United Press)

Cleveland, O., Feb. 18.-No lasting solution to the labor problem can be evolved unless the remedy is found- ed firmly on mutual good will, Presi- dent Charles F. Thwing of Western Reserve University said on his return from an investigation of labor condi- tions in Australia and New Zealand.
 Labor itself is incapable of solving the problem, he said he was convinc- ed from a thorough examination of the labor government of Australia Strikes, ill-feeling and general dissen- tion exists there to a larger degree than in tie Un:- ed States, he said.
 The work of finding some means of satisfying and pasifying labor must be started from the human and moral, as well as the economic angle, he said No instrument based on the economic view alone will be workable, he said.
 Laws cannot prevent strikes and ar t'tration will moi end them, he said.
 "The labor problem is more human and moral than economic,' said Thwing. Ut will not be solved until liItit IS i IIdil ltH ldllOU ana earnest practice of good will on both sides
 Australia is a labor government. The prime minister formerly was a labor leader Other government of ficials have been connected with the labor movement. With all of this, there is more i'll feeling, dissention and more striking than America. The working men are we'll organized. The unions make demand after demand. As soon as one wage increase is grant ed, the unions prepare the ground for another. This is particularly true in those mines owned by the govern ment.'
 The frequent wage demands are us- ually granted until the public, restive under the burden of increased prices. calls a halt The same conditions ex- ist in the shipping industry. Thwing said. Boats are held up for weeks at time while dockworkers, steve dores and other ship workers wrangle with the owners for higher wages.
