GENERAL LABOR NEWS

Women workers In the mines Of

Nearly as many women as men are

to take back 30 per cent Of the men
Immediately and the others when va
cancies occurred.
Chief operating officials of the east
ern railroads, meeting to consider
wage cuts for train service and shop
and maintenance Of way employees,
agreed upon schedules calling for re-
ductions of from 10 to 80 per cent. The
proposals must be submitted to the
railroad labor board for rejection or
approval.
Il. M. Rine, general manager Of the
Delaware, Lackawanna & Western
railroad, said he had received from
the shop employees Of the road re-
quest for wage increase Of 8 cents
an hour. The company has asked the
men to accept a wage cut and both
sides will be discussed, he said, at
conference to be held within a short
time between representatives Of the
roads shop employees and officials of
the company.
The Jackson (Mich.) carpenters
union has reduced its wage scale from
85 cents to 75 cents an hour, effective

Millions of dollars annually will be
saved to the railroads through the
elimination of an extra hours over

the eight-hour work-day schedule in
force with maintenance Of way en-
ployees.
The rule, made effective at once by
the United States Railroad Labor
board, recognizes the principle" Of the
eight-hour work day, but DEGREES that
time and half pay for overtime will
not start until men have put in ten
hours of consecutive work.
That means that under the new rul-
ing men working ten hours will re-
ceive ten hours pay. Formerly they
received eleven hours pay for the same
work.
What action the 100000 rail men af-
fected by the ruling will take is unI
known. A committee of 100 will meet
In Chicago to act upon the recent rul-
Ing of the Labor board which virtually
declared "open shop" in the work

too, will be considered at that time,"
said b. NJ. Jewell, president of the
railway employees department of the
American Federation Of Labor. He
said the craft was voting on the estab-

Modern Anesthetics
Safer, Says Doctor
BY DIR. r. H. Rishop.

Often people postpone having ope-
rations performed because they are
afraid to take the anesthetic.
1 have known of some women who
would rather suffer the pains of child
birth than take an anesthetic. Such
people, as a rule, have never taken
an anesthetic or have not taken one
in recent years.
It is more or less natural, I be-
lieve, for everyone to harbor some fear
of the unknown. But the truth is,
that there is nothing painful or I'M
comfortable about it. People are
usually somewhat ashamed afterward
to think they permitted themselves
to worry about taking an anesthetic.
The great reason for this common
dread of anesthesia is perhaps the
tales we are told Of this or that medi-
cal experience.
1t is more or less true that a gen.
Grafton or so ago methods of admin
istering anesthetics were extremely
crude, and, in many instances, cruel.
They used to hold the patient and
force him to breathe in the choking
and nauseating vapor. The strug-
giles of the patient were not pleasant
to witness, and they certainly must
have been accompanied by mental tor
ture.
Nothing like this occurs today, if
you have skilled anesthetist. He
will start you off with nitrous oxide
gas and switch to chloroform or ether
after you have gone to sleep. He
watches you closely, limiting the guam
tity of anesthetic to your needs.
Your awakening is quick and easy.
You are free from nausea, except in
occasional cases, and none the worse
for the experience.
Don't be afraid to take an anesthe-
tic.

writing at his direction to a news

of a report that he had golfed on the
previous Sunday was not "unamigous."
The newspaper published the letter
with the original denial: "a news

and Lord Riddell played golf at Bea-
consfield on Sunday afternoon. We
are informed by the Prime Minister'S
