Labor Board Delays
 Penalize Employees
A. O. Wharton Says 1t Is Important Factor In Determining Cases
 Adversely.

Chicago, June 14.-Majority mem bers of the Railroad Labor Board have been charged by Labor Member A. O. Wharton iii dissenting opinion in De cision No. 2433 of permitting the long delay of the board in reaching decis- ions as being "a most persuasive, Ii not a controlling factor in determining cases adversely to the employees
 The case affected by this decision was filed with the board On August 16, 1921. Full and complete hearings were held shortly thereafter but de- cision was not reached until May 20, 1924, or two years and nine months after the case was submitted. The question involved in the dispute is whether or not an employe of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Rail way was entitled to sheet metal work .ers' rates of pay for the work he was performing.
 The showing made by the Federated Shop Crafts at the hearing before the board demonstrated that -the particu- lar individual was employed as sheet metal worker total of 2,980 hours out of the total hours worked of 5,863 over a period of 28 months or a percent age of SOP which, according to the rules In effect at that time, would jus tify the emp1oye receiving mechanics $ rate of pay for time thus worked.

FLY SWAT TING URGED
by GEORGIA EDITOR
His Advice Finds Ready En-
dorsement By Health
Authorities

ATLANTA, May 8.-"We are
not restless, nor unduly nervous.
and law knows we have never been
accused of an over-plus of energy.
but if there is a fly in the house
we must swat it,
SO declares T. S. Shope, editor
of the Dalton Citizen, and his sub.
stitution of the editorial I'VE" fol
the personal pronoun ''T'' means one
and the same thing.
ely, you say, little fly, look
ing after its own business, and YET
creates the desire to MURDER" says
Mr.. Shope. yes, it does, because
when a fly is working at its job il
is most dangerous, for its chief
business is rearing a family.
''t is said the female fly will
lay 120 to 100 eggs in filth, and
from the eggs come little maggots
which molt twice and become full
grown in from five to seven days.
They then pass into the pupa stage
from which the perfect fly energies
about a week later.
"This rapid reproduction of the
fly tribe is the most urgent reason
why we should swat early and of
ten. Soon hot weather will be here,
and while the unmolested fly of
today will soon be gone, the number
of her descendants will have jump
ed into the millions.
Files carry germs, and thus dis
seminate disease. Typhoid, diph-
iberia and tuberculosis are among
the diseases so transferred. For
the protection of health, the fly
must be eliminated. if possible,
Right now is the time to mend the
screens, clear away any trash anal
drain pools of stagnant water, for
often around the premises are
breeding places for flies and mos
Iuitoes Of which we are unaware.
"Swat the fly! Swat him early
md often" is Mr.. Slopes concluding
injunction, and in this he has thej
endorsement of the health authori-
les here and elsewhere throughout
he state.

BANKER DEAF FOR
YEARS NOW HEARS
PERFECTLY

Mr.. John L. Ellerman, president
of the Farmers National Bank,
Fairfax, South Dakota, says that
after suffering from deafness for
many years he can now hear the
slightest whisper and is SO proud
and happy of his own good fortune
that he wants everyone who is deaf
or hard of hearing to know about
it. After trying everything he
could hear of without success, Mr..
Ellerman finally saw the announce
ment of a New York firm stating
that they had perfected a new
hearing device called the Aeousti-
con which would enable anyone
whose auditory nerve was not en-
tirely destroyed to hear as perfect
ly as those with normal hearing. As
this firm offered to to send their
produce on Ten Days Free Trial
no deposit-no C. o. D., he de-
cided to try it. To his utter
amazement and delight, he found
that this remarkable invention en-
abled him to hear all sounds as
clearly as when boy. He has
since recommended it to num-
Der of his friends and they also re-
port most satisfactory results. If
you want to hear again as we'll as
when child, write the Dictograph
Products Corporation, Suite 1902,
No. 220 w. 42nd street, New York
City, and ask them to send you an
ACQUISITION on Ten Days Free Trial.
There are no strings attached to
their offer. The trial is absolutely
free. Just send them your name

LEGION COMMENDS
GEORGIA SENATORS

ATLANTA, May 8.-Members of
the American Legion and veterans
in Georgia of the World War gen
orally are pleased with The attitude
of both of the Georgia senators in
supporting the adjusted compen-
sation legislation just passed by
Congress. Both Senators Harris
and George voted for the Copeland
amendment providing an option of
cash or insurance which could be
selected by the veterans, but the
proposal was defeated. The SEN
ators then voted for the bill which
passed.
In a speech Senator Harris said
he thought the veterans deserved
better treatment at the hands OF
Congress, and were entitled to an
option of cash or insurance. Sen
ator Harris said the veterans not
only wanted the option, but il
would cost the Government less in
the long run when the overhead
expense of administration for in
surance was considered.
The national officials of the
American Legion, it was stated
here today, have written both OF
the Georgia Senators expressing
appreciation of the support given in
the Senate. Senator Harris has
announced that he will vote to over
ride the action of President Coo
lidge if he vetoes the bill.
