MONDAY,, OCTOBER 24, 1921. PLATTSMOUTn SEHI-WEEKIY JOUHI7AL PAGE SEVEN NEW MEETING IS GALLED FOR OCTOBER 26 RAILROAD LABOR BOARD ISSUES ANOTHER SUMMONS TO BOTH FACTIONS. SECOND MEDIATION ATTEMPT Board Takes New Step Under Trans portation Act Claims Strike Would Tie Up Commerce Chicago, Oct. 21. Railroad execu tive? and union chiefs were ordered to appear before the United State3 railroad labor board next Wednes day in an effort to avoid the rail etiike called for October 30. in an oi.ler issued by the board today. The board whose efforts to pre vent the strike thru conference with the union heads alone proved futile, announced that it took this step un der the transportation act on the grounds that the walkout threatened to tie up commerce. The board stated that strike or ders issued by the brotherhood chiefs were in violation of its ruling of July 1. which cut wages 12 per cent. The strike vote of the railroad em ployes was taken on the July 1 de cision. Brotherhood chiefs were told lhcy would have to explain at the Wednes day hearing why they should not be hold in violation of the board decrees fur calling the strike. The boaru's statement said that the whole matter of the dispute was thrown before it when the brother hood chiefs and committe of execu tive?" were unable to agree at a joint confer nee held here last week. The rjen were directed to stay at their posts until after the coming conference. This is was believed is aimed at the strike on the Interna tional and Great Northern railroad of Texas, the employes of which have been ordered to walk out tomorrow morniag on instructions from the brotherhoods. Tfce carriers were also told to maintain the prereut status of vages o:i their roads and keep In normal operation. Each brtherhocd chief and rail road excutive will be ordered to at teiKl the conference in a. telegram, which v.-il! ho followed by a copy of th-.- hoard V resolution. ; Closely following the action of the railroad board, P. H GraLIe. presi dent of-Uie. xmyjtnancjpjyf way workers announced that strike plans had I ecn complete J and that his or gariir t: :n would issue a statement to the public lite today. Have No Guarantee The chiefs contended that they have no authority to hold up the strike ection and even if they did. they hpd no guarantees that the rail roads would agree to the p?.rf of the medial if.n plans applying to them. It is understood the board was also told Ly the chiefs that it was power less to enforce its decrees because of the 1 lck cf "teeth" in the transporta tion net. under which the labor body functions. Shortly before the session with the chiefs, the board was defied apain by the Pennsylvania linen, who declared "the board has no right to dictate how the elections of representatives of shop crafts should be held." This was pointed out to the mediation body along with other flagrant viola tions of its rulings by numerous east ern roads. Brotherhood heads who attended the conference were Warren S. Stone, engineers; W. G. Lee, trainmen; W. S. Carter, firemen and enginemen; L.. K. Sheppard. conductors, and T. C. Cafhen. twitchracn. The cabinet of the railroad depart ment of the American Federation of Lrbor was in session again today with President Bert M. Jewell. Calling of a strike by this organi zation, having a membership of some 500.000. mostly fhop crafts, was held up pending the outcome of the con ference between the "big five" and the railroad board. the world. He also spoke of visiting the beautiful city of Washington, D. C. and that President Harding re ceived C. E. delegates from the var ious states. Chelsea Swope sang "Dreaming in the Twilight, whtcn was thoroly enjoyed by all the young people. Deelgates who attended the State convention at Beatrice last week gave brief "Convention Thoughts" Viola Archer speaking about "The 1922 Budget and Plans," Emma Wohifarth, "The Quiet Hour," Fern Jfiel. "The Life Work Recruits," Edith Farley "Fun and Fellowship," and Chelsea Swope "The Challenge." The next speaker was Rev. L. Patton, our District President, and pastor of the First Presbyterian church at Nebraska City. Rev. Pat ton first had them sing their C. E. rally song, which livened the even- j ing very much. His talk was a very impressive can lor loyany to me u. E. ideals, to their pledge, to their officers, especially emphasizing our motto "For Christ and the Church," and the foundation phrase of the pledge "Trusting in Jesus Christ fort Strength." He held the breathless attention of the young folks from; the first moment, and his words will be an inspiration to them for years" to come The officers of the Senior Society were presented by the nominating convention as' follows: President,' Karl Wurl; vice president, Emma Wohifarth; secretary, George Eber sole, treasurer, Helen Farley. Mr. Patton installed them in an impres sive and beautiful manner. Thus was launched a new Intermediate C. E. society, the old Intermediate becom ing Senior C. E. The success of the evening was largely due to Miss Clara Weyrich, their untiring leader, who carefully planned the rally. The evening closed with ringing cheers from the young folks, with) Donald Dickson as cheer leader, for the speakers, the officers, and for the ladies who worked and contri buted this splendid banquet to them free. .Rev. Patton stated in his address that "This church is to be congrat ulated that they can get eighty-five young people from their own people together so easily. Nebraska City would have a hard time doing it." Fern Niel, our own district treas urer, being the only ".non-Presbyterian" guest. ORIGIN OF GANGER IS REPORTED FOUND German Scientist Says it May En ter Thru Raw Food Experi-' ments on Frogs Used New York, Oct. 21. A German scientist claims to have discovered the definite origin of cancer, the mystery disease which has defied science, it was learned here today. Dr. Franz Kopsch, Berlin Univers ity, has informed friends in this country that while experimenting with frogs he accidentally discover ed 'that cancer was transmitted from larva of the earth carried by angle worms. Dr. II. A. Haubold, New York medical professor and friend of the Berlin professor, is now directing a series of experiments in New York labratories thru which it is hoped a practical method for prevention of cancer may be obtained. "I cannot predict that this work will result in the finding of the way to cure cancer except perhaps in the early stages." Dr. Haubold said today. "But this discovery of orig in is certainly a great step taken toward the solution of the jnystery. It, r.t least, throws a little'light of fact thru the misty air of theories. This discovery has been proven. It is a fact not a theory. "Dr. Kopsch. while experimenting with frogs in Berlin ordered about fifty of them fed with house flies, angle worms and lettuce lice. Sever al of the frogs died and the doctor was astonished to find they showed exact symptoms of tumor. On investi gation he learned they died of can cer. It was the true destructive can cerous growth. One followed the oth er In all parts of the body. This prov ed emphatically it was cancer. "He found that the angle worms contained an earth larva which, when liberated during digestion in the frog, caused the cancer. The house flies and lettuce lice were not responsible. " In humans this larva might be transmitted thru fresh foods which are derived from the earth. . "It is possible a chemical solu tion can be introduced which would def troy this larva before it takes ef fect, thus killing the cancerous action." RARE MUSICAL' OFFERING !
