Lie situation will adjust itself, as
.soon as tne men become more u-
miliar with the new agretMicnts.
The unions which received the
largest cuts in pay were those which
refused to waive certain .-ule making
for greater economic waste and for
these organisations Judc? 1 -Midi's left
the "back door" open if 'ny change
their minds before November .'.
Chief among these cra't besides
the plumbers were the gas fitters
and steam fitters, marl le setters,
composition roofers, cem.'iit fmiblitrs
nd a few similar ori;anizat:ons.
"If at any time before November r
next,' Judge Landis' do.sion rcac's.
"any of these unions notify me of
their willingness to change their at
titude in this respect, 1 will advance
their wages accordingly as the rule
is applied in the present award to
other trades."
Meeting of Chiefs Called.
Steps to take advantage of this of
fer were taken immediately by the
Chicago Building Trades council
when Thomas Kearney. president,
called a meeting of business agents
to discuss the situation. A commit
tee was appointed to draw up a
statement to be read at the meeting
of the council Saturday requesting
that body to petition Judge Landis
to reopen a discussion of the cases
of all organizations which still har
bor grievances. Pcs-dcs Kearney,
the members of this "oniniittee are
James Conroy, secretary of "the
council; William Curran, business
liam Gunther. husinrsa nl nf th
gas fittersl union, and Edward Ryan,
business agent of the architectural
iron workers' union. No award for
the latter union was" made in the
decision. -,i
At the same time Judge Landis
notified officials of the Build ng Con
struction Employers' association and
the Associated Builders to attempt
to reach a settlement with the unions
which refused to become parties to
th arbitration proceedings. .
He urged them first, to take up the
riUestion. of working rules .,nd hn
consider the wage adjus:m-nts. These
unions include the carpenters, plas
terers, painters, sheet metal workers
and glaziers.

State Department of Trade and
Commerce.
. Exhaustion of cash reerve, im
pairment of credit, shortages in bilb

"The immediate cause is the fail
ure of stockholders to pay an assess
ment levied on their shares ci stock
for tf-.c purpose of restoring these im
pairments and eliminating bad and
doubtful paper," Hart said.
Blames Promotion Schemes.
"The slow and doubtful loans
originated in the promotion of a ho

and the insurance activities of the
former cashier, F. A. Stcch."
Two months ago, Mr. Hart re
fused to grant Stech a license as
cashier of the bank, under authority

legislature.
The officers, directors and stock
holders of the bank are O. N.

Washington, Sept. 9. (Special
Telegram.) In connect 1 with
stories going the rounds that the re
organization committee of cor:grcss
bad decided to rccommcn J the ab
sorption of the Department of Labor
into the Department of Welfare,
1'cpresciitative Keavis said the com
mittee had reached no conclusions as
what was to become ot the Depart
ment of Labor. He frankly vdmittcd
that if the children's bureau, the im
migration bureau and other b'ireaus
r.flccting welfare should l e taken
troin the Department of I aiior and
put into a welfare department, it
would leave mighty little for the
l abor department. When Seci clary
Davis appeared before the commit
tee, Mr. Kcavij said, he frank! v sug
gested that, if a Department of Wel
fare was to be created, it might as
well absorb all the bureaus now
functioning under the Labor depart

placed with

prescribed for many years, iu his
early practice of medicine, for
the stomach, liver and blood.
This he called his Golden Medi
cal Discovery. Both these medi
cines of Dr. Pierce's manufacture
met with instant success, and
during the past half century have
sold in greater quantities than
any other proprietary medicines.
Neither of these compounds con
tains alcohol and both arc herbal
extracts of native medicinal
plants. For the past fifty years
forty-eight million bottles have
been used by the American public,
and they are today the standard
tonics for men and women. They
are now put up in tablet as well
as liquid fornl, and sold by every
druggist in the land.
