CLAIM IS ENTERED
AGAINST MICHIGAN

claim for the amount of $1,259.12
was filed in the office of Fred w. Marsh.
clerk of the United States court, yester-
day by Joe Johnson against the yacht
Michigan which is now in the hands of
the United States marshal, following an
order from the court. The itemzed
statement marked exhibit B showed that
this amount had heen expended by Mr.
Johnson in salvaging the boat and bring
ing it into the harbor.
1t is understood, and the bill filed yes
terday so states, that the boat had been
abandoned on the gulf side of the island,
and was left to the mercy OF the wind
and sea, pounding herself on the shore.
She was in a leaky and sinking cOndi-
tion," further stated the bin. Finding
the vessel in this condition Mr.. Johnson
wenN>to work and hired workmen to get
the craft out of the sand, put it on
cradle, bring it. across the island and
launch it into the sound. It was later
towed into port at Mr.. Johnson expense,
and put on the ways for repairs.
Shortly after the Michigan had been
hauled out the government took her over.
and gave notice that all parties who
had claims against her to make them
known. This brought about the fling OF
the claim yesterday.

MRS. PEARSON
Is DELIGHTED
WITH RESULTS
Tampa Woman Says Nobody
Can Know How Much She
Has Suffered.

"T am certainly delighted with the
results I have obtained from Tanlac;
in fact, it has done far more for me
than I expected" said Mrs. Annie
Pearson, 543 Main ST, West Tampa,

For years I was constant sufferer
from indigestion and nobody knows
how I suffered. I ate barely enough to
keep alive and was slowly losing
weight and strength. I got so nervous
got little rest either day or night.
ST finally yielded to the persuasion
of friends and tried Tanlac and I GER
tainly was surprised at the way I i'm
proved in a short time. I just haven't
the words to describe how grateful I
am for my restoration to health. In
my opinion the equal of .Tanlac has
never been made"

being able to underquote Pensacola on
all business. Several of the lumber
shippers present stated that they had
these conditions and it was agreed by
all that in order to maintain shipping
through the port of Pensacola, the
rate of wages paid at Mobile and
Gulfport could not be exceeded here.
The foregoing facts have been care
fully explained to the International
Longsh Association locals
here, and they have been requested
that their organization give to the
shipping interests of Pensacola the
same scale that they have given to
Mobile and Gu1fport. After several
joint conferences, they have refused
to do this
The shipping interests, therefore,
have decided that after January 1st,
1922, they will pay the same scale of
wages as paid at Mobile and Gulfport,
viz. SO cents per hour straight time,
and 80 1-2 cents per hour overtime,
and that if the I. L. A. do not wish to
accept this scale, they will be forced
to obtain other labor.
The International LongshOremen's
Association is entirely responsible for
these conditions, as the Pensacola
shipping interests were satisfied to
pay any rate that was uniform at all
gulf ports.
Il is simply a question of Pensa-
cola being able to compete with Mo-
bile, not Of whether the wages are 65
cents or Sc cents per hour, and this
is matter which affects every in
rest of Pensacola alike.
Shall we get the business, or shall
we let Mobile have 1t.
