Railway Strike
Is Not Probable
Union Chiefs Say
Hundreds of Workers Gather
In Chicago to Pass Upon
Wage Reduction, Ef
fective Today.
Chicago, July 1. Hundreds of
railway union leaders from all parts
of the country gathered here to
day in preparation 4or a series of
meetings which will take up the ac
ceptance or rejection of the wage
reductions recently ordered by
the United States railroad . labor
board and which are effective to
morrow. Votes on the proposition have
been taken by a number of the or
ganizations involved and it has been
unofficially reported that these, in
wine cases, show a majority against
the acceptance of the cuts.
"The stationary engineers and
oilers have voted 94 per cent strong
against the acceptance of the wage
cuts," declared Timothy Healy, in
ternational president of the organiza
tion. "There is a stong strike feeling
in many of the organizations," he
added.
Strike Not Likely.
'There will be no nation-wide
strike unless the men arc forced
into it." said B. M. Jewell, presi
dent of the railway department of
the American Federation of Labor.
"Our men will accept any reason
able adjustment, whether ordered by
xthe labor board or proposed by rail
way managements. They are not go
ing to do anything rash or unrea
sonable. They have all been study
ing the situation and whatever de
cision they come to must be based on
an accurate knowledge of condi
tions" "There is nothing to be alarmed
over in the situation regarding the
wage reduction ordered by the la
bor board," said W. S. Carter, presi
dent of the Brotherhood of Locomo
. tive Firemen. "The decision to ac
cept or reject the wage reduction
made by the labor board is up to
the men and the men alone can make
such decision."
L. J. Luhrsen, president of the
American Train Dispatchers' asso
ciation, said that his. organization
had not taken a vote on the wage
reduction and had not been asked to.
Take Level-Headed View.
T. C. Cashen, president of the
Switchmens Union of North Ameri
ca, said that his organization had
taken no vote on the wage reduc
tions. The union leaders probably will
be in session for several days. In
addition to representatives of the
engineers, firemen, conductors and
trainmen, there will be those of the
switchmen and clerks. The execu
tives in session here, it was said,
w6uld represent a total. of more than
1,500,000 railway employes.
A general walkout could not be
finally declared at the impending
rnnfmnrrt. Such an order would
have to be approved by a referen
dum vote of members of many un
ions, which would require from 10
to 30 days. .

Freight Car Shortage
Predicted by Leonard
Lincoln, July 1. (Special.) A
serious shortage in freight cars was
forecast today by George K.-Leonard,
assistant secretary of the de
partment of public works.
"On January 1 there was a surplus
of railroad-owned freight cars of
200,000, and of gondola, hopper and
flat cars of about 25,000," Leonard
said. "This surplus increased to
April 8, at which time there was a
surplus of 510,000 box cars and 280,
000 miscellaneous cars. From that
d?.te, the surplus decreased almost
uuiformly to June 1, at which time
there was a 'surplus of 395,000 box
cars and 175,000 miscellaneous cars.
"This indicates that if all the idle
cars were serviceable the surplus
would be exhausted early in August.
But a large number are unservice
able and an exhaustion of supply is
looked for at an early date and con
tractors planning on the purchase of
materials should get their orders in
early."

Close of Readjustment Period
Not Yet Reached, Fed
eral Reserve Board
Review Says.
Washington, July 1. June busi
ness activities in the United States,
although showing an acceleration in
price declines, were classed as "in
conclusive" with respect to probable
future developments by the monthly
review of the federal reserve board,
issued today.
The board concluded that "it is
evident the close of the readjustment
period has not yet been reached in
some lines of business, notably iron
and steel.
In iron, the board said "it is now
' generally believed further readjust
! ment of wages and prices is likely to
: occur and that increased activity will
' certainly not be noted before au-
tumn."
In several branches of domestic
trade, the board said, the "month o
June is usually a period of relative
quiet and temporary reaction," and
"such recession as has occurred is
evidently only seasonal."
Unemployment continued practi
cally unchanged, the report said, "with
slight tendencies to betterment, no
tably in agriculture.
"Hesitation in purchasing," the
board said, "marked all the channels
of distribution, with little improve
ment in exports, but in growth of
strength. '
"The reserves of the federal re
serve banks have been much en
larged," the board said, "while their
outstanding liabilities have been re
duced. Federal reserve notes out
standing havxe' continued to shrink,
and interest rates have become more
moderate during the month."
A first folio Shakespeare, dated
1623, has just been sold in London
for the sum of $13,250.

DEMAND FOB TANLAC
BREAKS ALL RECORDS
Amazing Success Achieved by Celebrated Medicine
Not Only Phenomenal, But Unprecedented
Over 20,000,000 Bottles Sold in Six Years For
eign Countries Clamor for It.
Never before, perhaps, in the history of the drug trade
has the demand for a proprietary medicine ever approached
the wonderful record that is now being made by Tanlac, the
celebrated medicine which has been accomplishing such re
markable results throughout this country and Canada. As
a matter of fact, the marvelous success achieved by this
medicine is not only phenomenal, but unprecedented.
The first bottle of Tanlac to reach
the public was sold just a little over
six years ago. Its success was im
mediate and people everywhere were
quick to recognize it as a medicine
of extraordinary merit. Since, that
time there have been sold through
out this rnuntrv and Canada some
thing over Twenty Million (20,000,-
000) bottles, establishing a record
which has probably never been
equalled in the history of the drug
trade in America."
Fame Is International
The instant and phenomenal suc
cess which Tanlac won when it was
first introduced has been extended to
practically"- every large city, small
town, village and hamlet in North
America. Its fame has become in
ternational in its scope and England
Japan, Mexico, .Cuba, Hawaii.
Alaska, Porto Rico and many Euro
pean countries are clamoring for it.
From coast to coast and from the
Great Lakes, Tanlac is known aird
honored. Millions have taken it with
the most gratify ing. and astonishing
results and have pronounced it the
greatest medicine of al time.
Tens of thousands of men and
women of all ages in all walks of
life, afflicted with stomach, liver and
kidney disorders, some of them of
long standing, as well as thousands
of weak, thin, ;. nervous men and
women apparently on the ' verge
of collapse, have testified that they
have been fully restored to their
normal weight, health and strength
by its use.
Restored to Health.
Still others, who seemed fairly
well, yet who suffered with indiges
tion, headaches, shortness of breath,
dizzy spells, sour, gassy stomachs,
coated tongues, foulness of breath
constipation, bad complexion, loss of
appetite, sleeplessness at night and,
of terribly dejected, depressed feel
ings, state that they have been en
tirely relieved of these distressing
symptoms and restored to health
and happiness by the use of Tanlac
