RUPTURE SHIELD
EXPERT HERE
MEINHARDI, WELL KNOWN IN
THIS SPECIALITY, CALLED
TO HAMILTON

E. J. Meinhardi, the we'll known Ex-
pert from Chicago, will personally be
at the Howald Hotel, Hamilton, Ohio
on Wednesday and Thursday only
October 3rd and 4th.
Mr.. Meinhardi says, "The Vacuum
Rupture Shield" will not only hold the
Rupture perfectly, but will contract
the opening in ten days on the average
'case-usually giving instantaneous
relief withstanding all strain regard
less of the size and location of the
Rupture. This instrument is highly
indorsed for producing results in the
United States and foreign countries
without the use of surgery, medical
treatment, prescriptions or injections.
Caution: Ruptured persons should
beware of old-style trusses with under
straps. These trusses usually place the
pad on the lump and not on the rup-
ture opening. This often causes seri-
Gus trouble resulting in strangulation
and necessitating a surgical operation
Mr.. Meinhardi will be glad to demon
strate free to all who call at the hotel
from 10 a. m. to p. M, the unusually
rapid results produced by "The
Vacuum Shield" The largest ano
most difficult cases, those following
operations, are especially desired
Business demands prevent stopping al
any other place in this section and he
will be here for one date only.
Notice: Do not write asking to b.
fitted by mail as this is impossible
Every case must be seen personally
If interested, you must call at thi
hotel on the above date-Adv.

WOULD GUST COMPANY

Trenton, N. J.-Governor Silzer
has ordered the public service railway
company evicted from the streets of
141 New Jersey cities and towns.
This corporation furnished street car
transportation to these communities
up to month ago, when $500 en-
ployes suspended work because of
wage differences. The workers will

mands higher fares and abolition of
the jitneys.
''The time has come for the state to
act" said the governor "The streets
Of the state belong to the public We

that in return it was to give adequate

CAN'T SEE IT
GOugers Want Excuse For
the Usual ''HOld-up"

Washington. - Governor Pinchot's
plan to nave the coal industry and
freight rates absorb the miners 10
per cent wage increase is received
with no enthusiasm by professional
champions of the people.
When it was first limited that the
miners would raise wages, the people
were told that the workers were re-
sponsible for high coal costs that
would surely come. The stage was
set for another gouge, with the finger
of guilt pointed at the miners.
The Pinchot proposal has upset this
program. The miners will not be the
goat" and there is danger that if
the Pinchot plan is too widely dis
cussed the coal owners profits will be
given publicity.
Newspapers that print denuncia-
tions of the miners, almost daily, are
now silent.
The Wall Street Journal is shocked
at the thought of reducing freight
rates on coal, and howls that 'Ht
! (Pinchot) proposes to rob Peter IL
order to pay blackmail to Paul." And
then the W. S. ]. quickly changes the
subject by attacking the miners
license law and it's operation in Penn
sylvania.
The Washington Post says the Pin
chot plan is SILLY"
"The settlement of the present
strike is not only surrender which
saddles the public with the excessive
demands of the miners, but it adjusts
nothing for the future" says the Post

That's What Alleged Attack
on Foster Shapes Up To

Chicago.-"Failure to find bullet
holes in the plaster walls of the Ash
land boulevard auditorium in this city,
after shots had been fired by alleged
'gunmen' in supposed attempt upon
the life of William z. Foster, has led
to the belief that the affair was staged
for publicity purposes" says the
Weekly News Letter, issued by the
Illinois State Federation of Labor.
Abraham Eisken, editor of a Jewish
daily in this city, an eye witness, is
quoted as follows by the Weekly News
Letter:
Shortly before the shooting Foster
asked how many men were in the hall
to break up the meeting. There were
no replies. He then said there was
something going to happen and when
it did everyone in the hall should be
quiet and remain in their seats. After
this statement the audience began &c
feel uneasy.
at was about at this point that
three shots were fired No one knew
whether they were fired in the hall
or in the alley At the first shot
Foster began to gaze heavenward
raise his hands to his face level and
pleaded with the men and women tc
remain calm. At first we thought he
was saying his prayers. Calm your.
selves, Foster shouted They're after
me and won't harm you people A

fired, Foster said: we can now pro

Break News to Him That
Chicago Steel Mills Have
No Trouble Getting
Men for S-HOur
Shift

Judge Gary said the 8-hour day
was "impracticable" because the ad-
ditional men necessitaed by the change
from the 12-hour shift could not be
obtained. Here's what really happen
ed in the Chicago district, as told in
a special dispatch to the New York
World:
"A summary of the progress of the
eight hour shift in continuous steel
processes in the Chicago district
shows:
Plenty of labor available for the
change
Five thousand men already have
entered the mills.
Fifteen thousand employees for
merly on 12-hour shift now are on
eight hours.
"The mills are stepping older en-
ployes up, taking experienced hands
from other jobs and putting them into
the eight-hour turns as fast as units
can be placed on the new basis and
most of the new labor is going in
at the bottom.
in the last two months a slacken-
ing in employment has occurred in the
steel industry itself, and this is help
ing to speed up the spread of the
three-shift day, besides giving jobs to
men who otherwise might be out of
work or on part time.
Negroes from the South and Mexi-
cans are coming to the mills in excess
of demand"
