Three PI 70
E,,J nAiLkUAD Strike
Submitted To Contenders By
President and Some Agree
ment Is Expected
(By Associated Press)

Washington, July 28 = Three
proposals for notwithstanding OF
the railroad strike have been sub
mitted to railroad executives and
representatives of labor unions by
President Harding, according to
Administration advisers today
The proposals, all hinging on var
ious plans for adjusting the en-
ployes' seniority rights, will be
submitted, it was said, to the eX-
ecutive's meeting in New York
Tuesday and to the employers
conference to be arranged by r
M. Jewell, shopmen's leader.
Outside railroad contracting is
to- be abandoned by the RAILROADS
under each of the three proposals
One proposal would be for the
railroad to waive the seniority
question and take all strikers
back; another would give the
loyal" men who remained al
work seniority rights over the
strikers, and the third was for {
separate adjustment of the sen
iority dispute by each road wit,
its own employees through joint
committees.
The President was said by hi.
advisors to believe the proposal
promised considerable hope of the
strike settlement and to have de
clared "1nore clouds have passed
away" in the railway situation
within the past few hours thar
for several weeks.

The "Nlother of Medicine"

Isis, the Queen and afterwards
the Goddess, was called the
Mother of Medicine" In ancient
Egypt, centuries before Christ,
women were skilled in medicine.
They knew the great value OF
medicinal plants.
Hippocrates the sFather of Me
dicine," many centuries later
knew less of the merit of vegeta-
bic drugs than did the women OF
ancient times.
Lydia E. Pinkham, nearly fifty
years ago, gave to women hel
Vegetable Compound now known
as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound. This is a woman
medicine for woman's ailments
prepared from medicinal plants.

STRIKERS GIVE their
SIDE OF QUESTION
Ravenna Man Says Mechanics
Are Not Going Back To
Work-BalIard Writes

The Daily Register has receiv-
ed two communications from I'M
ion men who are on strike, which
it is glad to publish as it desires
at all times to deal fairly and i'm
partially with all questions of pub
lie Importance. The two letters
are as follows:
Ravenna, Ky, July q.
To the Editor of the Richmond
Daily Register
l notice in the Daily Register
you are scattering propaganda
about striking shopmen's affairs
over the country which I know is
not fact; such as shopmen going
back to work at different points
over the country. Now you
should know these things are
facts Lcfore you publish them.
This propaganda is reported from
railroad officials who are strain
ing every nerve in their body to
strike out unionism, which is the
only and last hope or the laboring
class OF people to: even exist.
l take the Register daily with
thousands of other working men
over the country. Now it is in
your hand to decide whether You
will stand by your most earnest
and hearty subscribers. | am
appealing to you to please be as
easy as possible in scattering this
propaganda in the future. As for
men going back to work at differ
ent points they don't any of them
go back to work until they all go
back.
We are trying to be good citi-
zens in this fight for liberty. This
is not only fight for ourselves
but for Our future generation, and
we expect to stay out until we all
starve to death, if it takes it, and
you can just count on that being
a long time If the railroads don't
give in.
AS for getting mechanics, they
can't get them, for we have them
all in Our organization. And as
| for trains running about the same
there are not one-fourth Of the
trains running as there were be
| fore the strike. Please publish
this in your paper SO that the pub
lie may see. A subscriber.

COCHRAN ENJOINS
AGAINST PICKETING
L. & n. Officials Get Federal Or
der Claiming Violence Is
Threatened At Places

Lexington, KY, July 28 =
Threats and interference by strik
ing railway employees in Lexing-
ton and number of points in
Eastern Kentucky with men still
at work charged by officers of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad
Thursday led to the issuing of a
temporary restraining order by
! Federal Judge A. M. J. Cochran
In Lexington strikers have sent
committees to hotels, restaurants,
and merchants threatening loss
of union mems trade unless these
establishments refuse to sell to
strikebreakers, it is alleged.
At Hazard and Ravenna threats
have been made to blow up shops
and railroad property, and crowds
of strikers have met passenger
trains and attempted to prevent
new employees from starting to
work, the company attorneys as
sert.
Crowds gather at the postoffi-
ces at these points and prevent
railroad employees from obtaining
their mail or from mailing pack
ages, it was claimed.
Other towns where violence
has been threatened, it is charged,
are Jackson, Neon and Irvine. The
temporary injunction aplies to al
other points on the Lexington &
Eastern division of the L. & n.
railroad.
The order issued in Maysville
by Judge Cochran, is to remain in
effect ten days unless extended
"for good cause shown" Friday
morning, August 4, at II o'clock
is fixed as the time for a hearing
on an application to make the in
junction permanent.
Copies are to be taken to the
towns named to be served on the
defendants by Deputy Marshal
Flint Davis or Special Deputy
Prentiss Beatty. The complaint
ant was required to- execute $lO,-
COO bond.
The order is a blow at the pick
eting system the strikers are
charged with having established
at Ravenna and Irvine. One pick
ct only may be on duty.

ment as an illusion. At $50
o'clock Tuesday morning, Mrs.
Phillips heard the Renaker alarm
clock, she says.
Two theories are held concern
cerning the manner of the muir
der. The murdered man was eth
er sitting on the side of the bed
reading a newspaper when the as
sassin entered the door, struck
him and pushed him back across
the bed; or, he was lying on the
bed, his head near the door when
the assassin struck him.
A copy of the Winchester Sun
of Monday afternoon edition
open at the second and third
pages was found near the bottom
Of the sheets pushed inward and
the top of the pages f1attened out.
Blood was on the newspaper.
Credence is placed on this theory
because blood covered the apron
Of the night shirt the floor near
the bed, and the murdered mans
bare feet as if blood had flowed
from his head as he was in a
bended sitting posture.
If he was struck while lying on
the bed, his body was shifted
somewha thy the assailant. A
fact that points to this manner OF
the murder is that his hips were
lying in pool of blood at the
place where the blow must have
been struck had he been lying on
the bed. His head was near the
foot of the bed.
The murder was committed
with a round instrument, proba-
bly, an iron pipe, since the skin
was not broken at any place. The
blow was struck on the left tenn
pie.
Facts that cast doubt on a rob-
berry theory are that murdered
mans watch was lying on the
dresser, and the purse undlsturb~
ed.
No sign OF a struggle was evi-
dent in the room. Mr.. Renaker's S
shoes were carefully placed Oh
the floor alongside of the bed, his
socks lying orderly on them. His
clothes were carefully folded on a
nearby chair.
No evidence of an intruder be
ing in any other rooms can be
found except that connection on
the telephone downstairs was pun
cd loose and the electric light
switch thrown to break the cir
cult. The hole in the screen Of
the back door at first thought to
be cut had been that way for
sometime, according to the muir
dered mans wife. However, it Is
believed the murderer effected ar
entrance through an open win
dow. He probably left by the
kitchen door, afterward found
open.
After the blow was struck, the
theory is that the assailant got
blood on his hands in placing his
hands on the victim, flung some
Of the blood off on the floor, anc
wiped his hands on the window
curtains.

day afternoon in the Winchestet

age but when it appears earlier
the person, tho younger and with
stronger vitality, goes to pieces
more rapidly. He stated that lC
persons die every hour in thi
country Of cancer.
Cancerous growth is always
local i'll its beginning. 1t then
spreads by direct growth, involv-
ing cells directly congruent or
by diseased cells being carried by
the blood to another part of the
body where infection devours d
part of the body which has not
affected before. The result of
these diseased cells being carried
by the blood has resulted in al
erroneous belief that it is d
blood disease. DR.. Abel emphati-
cally declared that it is not a
blood disease but is entirely local
in the beginning and later car
RED by the blood.
Cancers are at first lumDs that
do not cause or warnings
as do 9th Dir. Abel
sa -. tunate that
cancers do not cause pain in the
earlier stages so medical aic
could be given. Here is where
medical men want the co-opera-
ton of all. 1t is local process
III the beginning and may be
reached by extraction and pro,
duce cure.
The average length of the life
of a cancer S 2S months. he said
| Science does not know the cause
but does not conditions of de
velopment and. treatment. DR.
Abel said that cancer is not her
editary. When many cases ap'
pear in one family, they usually
have long lives. Ninety per CEN
of all cases appear after the age
of IS. -.g.
Cancer is not contagious, ac-
cording to DR.. Abel, for in al
history no doctor or nurse has
caught the disease from treating
or being with it. Nothing in one;
past life causes the disease nol
does it carry stigma.
There is no condition that IN
evitably develops cancer. Warts
moles, tumors, ulcers and the lik'
when subject to continual irrita
ition, may cause this tissue to be
come malignant. Get rid of thes'
is the advice Of this eminent ply
sician, as prevention is only thru
precaution. Many illustration
showed that chronic irritation
causes cancer. Train engineers
whose shins are continually rub
bed, have more cancers of th'
shin than all other professions.
Thorough eradication in tn
earlier stages effect cures in from
10 to 90 per cent of cases. Ever,
humorous growth should receiv
immediate attention. A decreas
| in cancer mortality may only b
gotten thru the cooperation 0
: the people throughout the coun
try, and this may be secured b
education.
