RAILROAD MEN WILL
CONFER WITH HOOVER
President Harding Approves of Con-
ference To Be Held in WASH
ington Next Week.

Washington, Jan. 10.-An effort to
avert controversy between railroads
and their employees has been begun, il
was learend today, by Secretary
Hoover, who has, with President
Harding's approval, called represen-
tatives of larger railroads and of the
railroad brotherhoods and otheR
unions affected into a series of con-
ferences. An agreement has been
reached for a gathering of those con-
cerned to be summoned next week.
Mr.. Hoover indicated today that Of
ficials participating were hopeful of
attaining some results.
While all the disputed questions
over wage reductions and abrogation
of the national working agreements
which the railroad board has author
lied were taken up, the chief object
sought is to secure further settles
ments between roads and employees
without proceeding being brought to
that board. Such an agreement, in
the administration view, would pre-
vent strike calls or other moves which
might result if the board was forced
to take the differences to trial and
issue mandatory decisions.
So far the railroad executives have
issued notice of intentions to apply
for further wage revisions and THUS
have a case tentatively before the
board, no meeting looking toward a
settlement of the issue have been held
There was also disposition in
some circles to regard the matter as
more serious. due to a belief that il
the cases were pressed before the
labor board decision distastefui to
the employees might result in March.
On April l the national agreement
on coal mine wages also expires,

SOME GOOD ADVICE

Strengthened by MOnett Experiences.
Kidney disease is too dangerous to
neglect. At the first sign of back
ache, headache, dizziness or urinary
disorders, you should give the weak
ened kidneys prompt attention. Eat
little meat, take things easier and use
a reliable kidney tonic. There's no
other kidney medicine so well recon-
mended as Doan's Kidney Pills. Mo-
nett people rely on them. Here's one
of the many statements from Monett
people.
Mrs. John Richards, 1908 Sixth ST.,
gave the following statement April 6,
1916: "My kidneys were weak and in
bad shape and caused me a great
deal of trouble by their irregular
action. | suffered from an ache in
my back and fe,,s as though | had a
heavy weight on my back. When /
stopped severe pains caught me and
could hardly straighten again. Rheu-
matte twinges through my shoulders
made me suffer terribly. l heard
about Doan's Kidney Pills and got
some at Cox & Cas-. Drug Store.
used them and was soon in good
health again.
On January 2S, 1920, Mrs. Richards
said; II haven't had any kidney
trouble since Doan's Kidney Pills
cured me some years ago"

a rain that started falling at o'clock

valiant work in combating the flames
