Mr.. Read is very nearly the dean of successful

STRIKERS SAY RAILROADS ARE
PAYING MORE THAN THE SCALE

Pueblo Chieftain.
Paying men 81 an hour and time
and half overtime after eight hours
and guaranteeing men IL hours work
a day is the answer to the demands of
striking shopmen for n cents an hour
and time and half overtime, the rail
executives have given in the strike.
With the talk that men are flock
ing back to work." the railroads shave
turned their long range guns on the
strikers, shooting charges loaded with
propaganda" and the talk is largely
empty"
With the sweeping injunction OBJ
tanned by Daugherty slipping quietly
and unobserved into Rederal court"
the fact that the railroads claim,
that of having plenty of workers, is
disproved. If the "roads are running
normal, and have all the mechanics
they need, why should they go after
and get an injunction?"
With these grievances, and others,
the strike headquarters issued the
following statement:
Just as we predicted they would do,
the railroads opened up their long
range guns, on Thursday of the past
week, loaded with the propaganda
that the men who had been on strike
were focking back to work, that they
had all the real mechanics they need
ed and that the strike was broken. If
such was the case why should certain
roads be offering S100 per hour for
mechanics, with time and one half
pay after eight hours, and guarantee
ing twelve hours work, or in other
words, offering S14 per day? We say
to the people of the country that all
we ever asked them for was seventy
seven cents per hour, with the time
and one half after eight hours. The
only reason we asked for the over
time paw was to prevent the long
hours, that we might have little
time for education and chance to
enjoy our families.
Further, the great question of SEMI
ority was the rock on which the rail-
road executives perished in the con-

PREACHER CLEANS Up CRY.
In the CITY of West Frankfort, Ill

elected the pastor of the First Chris
titan church as mayor and splendid
group of aldermen to stand back of
him. They have a mems class in that
church of about two hundred men,
lbers. The writer was asked to speak
before the class last Sunday, and |
can say that they were as fine a
bunch as | ever spoke to. There
lwere one hundred thiry-seven men
present, who came through one of
the worst storms have ever seen
even in south central Illinois. AT the

No Charge for Consultation.
DR.. Mellenthin is a regular gradu-
ate in medicine and surgery and is
licensed by the state of Oregon. He
visits professionally the more import
ant towns and cities and offers to all
who call on this trip free consultation
except the expense of treatment
when desired.
According to his method of treat
ment he does not operate for chronic
appendicitis, gall stones, ulcers OF
stomach, tonsils or adenoids.
He has to his credit wonderful re-
suits in diseases Of the stomach, liver,
bowels, blood, skin, nerves, heart
kidney, bladder, bed wetting, catarrh,
weak lungs, rheumatism, sciatica,
leg ulcers and rectal ailments.
If you have been ailing for any
length of time and do not get any
better do not fail to call, as improper
measures rather than disease are
very often the cause Of your long
standing trouble.
Remember above date, that consul
tation on this trip will be free and
that his treatment is different.

bic to the den, but on the surface /
could see nothing but thugs, gamblers /
and law breakers, The pool tables
crap tables and card tables and other
pieces Of furniture were soon beaten
into kindling wood, and after due
determination, in a hole in the wall
was found dice, cards and gambling
devices, also a gun which no one has
claimed as yet.
This reads to me like a new story;
the same old story perhaps in some
respects, but this story of the pastor
of the First Christian church whose
name is Story, is certainly writing a
new story on the police records of
that city.
Horse COMING BACK.
1t would not be strictly proper to
say the horse is coming back here
for he has never gone from the mid
die west.
Early the first morning was awak-
ened by the tramp of shoes on the
brick pavement, and constantly from
early to late the horse is in sight, and
they asked me often if there were
not lots of horses raised in Oregon
At one time they shipped them here
by the train loads to be distributed
over south central Illinois.

Editor Of the Gazette-Times:
Thinking my observations on a lit |

YOU and your readers, offer the fol- |

the hope of showing those of our cit

other sections Of our great country

pared to ours NAV make ours seem
a little less burdensome.
