United States Railroad Labor Board
to set aside it's recent decision in
which Il upheld and extended for the
most part the operation Of the shop

The employees held an election. in
which the Shop Craft Union, as a
union, elected representatives The
railroad executives objected to the
election Of union men and refused TO
select representatives for the con-
ference.

upheld the right of the shop Craft
Union to elect representatives to the
conference. Meantime there was a
talk of a railroad strike If the Penn

SKIN GRATING TAKES
OFF BRAND OF SLAVERY
Face Cleared, Beautiful Armen-
ian. Five Years in Bondage
i. to Turk, Will Wed.

Ann Harbor. Mich, Aug. 25.-Into
every large hospital there come at
times patients with heart breaking
stories locked tight within their bos-
some. and Just such was brought To
the University Hospital in this city.
A girl was wheeled into the surgical
clinic who once had been rarely beau
tiful She was twenty. with the dark,
rich complexion and the sparkling
eve of the healthy young Armenian,
but her beauty was ruined by tattoo
marks at the corners of her lips, in
the middle Of her forehead. at either
side of her nose. and under the lower
lip. These meant that as a slave in
4 Turkish household she had been
kept for what Americans would call
Immoral purposes" They are the
marks of the concubine.
She escaped after five years, and
came to Detroit.
But even in America there was lit
tie happiness for her. Her face was
So iisfigured by the tattooing. at
which Americans stared because they
knew not what it meant and from
which her fellow Armenians avsrted
their gaze because they knew, and she
was always in tears because of il.
In time she met one Of her own
countrymen. who fell in love with
her and who wanted to MARY her.
She refused because she bore the
mark of the slave upon her where all
might see. Some one told the Arm
nlenian of the wonderful skin graft
ing that had been accomplished by
the surgical staff in the University
Hospital and he persuaded the girl
to come here. With her came the
young Armenian, and on the card the
hospital gives TO the next kin who ac-
company patients here he signed his
name. and opposite the question
what Relation7" he wrote "Fiance, -
for the girl had promised to become
his wife if the tattoo marks were
obliterated.
II was quite a time after the op-
Grafton before the young Armenian
girl could be persuaded to look at
herself in the mirror, and then she
shouted aloud for joy. There was no
hint OF the ugly brand of the Turk
nothing to show that she had once
been held as a Turkish slave. And in
Detroit, some time this fall it is said,
the little Armenian girl and her Ar
menian man will be married.
