BUSINESSMEN TRY j TO AVERT STRIKE ' Isk Congress to Direct U. S. Inquiry into R. R. Wages, i :OR PEACEFUL SETTLEMENT i 11 Member* of United States Chamber of Commerce Vote Overwhelmingly In Favor of Letting Interstate Commerce ' Commission Adjust Controversy. Washington.?In order to ascertain < ho position of the business men of < he nation on the controversy between he railroads of the country and the | inlons of train service employes, which vas precipitated by the demand of the j fitter for an increase in wages that ! i vould amount to $100,000,0(X) a year, i: he United States Chamber of Com- | nerce recently submitted the mat- I er to a vote of all its members. They j vere asked to express their opinion as I o whether the dispute should be al- ! owed to take Its course with the posilblllty of a great strike that would le up all the transportation lines hroughout the country and paralyze ill business, or whether they would 'avor the adoption to a Joint resolulon by the two branches of congress llrecting the Interstate Commerce Commission to Investigate and pass ipon th<? matter. The vote received was a very large ?ne and represented business organzatlons In every part of the county. The result was overwhelmingly n favor of placing the matter In the lands of the Interstate Commerce Commission, 084% votes being cast In 'avor of this course and only 28% igalnst It The result showed clearly Jiat the business Interests of the .ountry are unalterably against pernlttlng the transportation lines to be led up by a national railroad strike hat would paralyze the commerce of he country and Indict enormous losses >n all classes of citizens. Chairman Wheeler of the Commltee In charge of the matter for he Chamber of Commerce appearid before the representatives of the allroads and their employes at their onference In New York In June. He mnounced the result of the Comnlttee's Inquiry among the business nen of the country and urged both lartles to the dispute to get together :nd adopt the course suggested. As a esult the committee of managers repesentlng the railroads submitted a 1 *911K <Aj.t hr* iruiwsai luai nit* wu'.-ic nuifjcvi w >laqed before the Interstate Commerce Commission as requested by the repreeutatives of the business interests. Is an alternative they offered to subnit the demands to arbitration under he Federal law. Poth offers were efused by the union leaders, who anlouneed that they would go back to heir unions and get authority to de- 1 lare a strike. This they have since >een doing. Meanwhile a resolution has been lnroduoed in Congress directing the Inerstate Commerce Commission to nake an investigation of railroad vages. This resolution is now awaltng action. It is believed here that if LOthlng further is done by Congress or * * *-? * ? z-k )y ine purucs iu iuc ui^^uic iu >rlne: about n peaceful settlement the >uslness Interests of the country, hrough the United States Chamber if Commerce, or some other oreanlzalon, will appeal to the Government o take some direct and decisive action o prevent the destruction of national , >rosper!ty by a strike on all the raiload lines. )EMANDS OF R. R. TRAINMEN. Afage Increase of $100,000,000 a Year Would Have to Be Borne by Public. The train service employes of all i allrond lines In the United States have inlted In a demand for a new basis of ?ay for all men engaged In operating rains, except those in passenger servce. At the present time they are paid >n the basis of ten hours of time or , 00 miles of distance, wnicnever gives hem the higher pay; and every man ecelves a full day's pay, no matter low short a time he works. The trainmen now demand that. In 11 hut passenger service, (1) the pres j nt ten hours pay shall he given for lght hours, or 1 ss. wlrli a guarantee if a full day's i /. no matter ho\v litie service Is p. formed; (2) overtime j begin after ?'glit hours, instead o' ' ifter ten hours and to be paid for at! >ne and one-ha1' times the hourly rate. These demands w?mld increase the lourly rate of pay 25 per cent, and the vertlme rate ST1^ per cent. They also Insist that all special extra >ay provisions In the 10-hour schedules ihall be Included In the proposed t-hour schedule. These special rules frequently give louble pay for the same service, and mable the employes to earn two and J hree days' pay In a single day of I ipillnarv working hours. As the increase for .ill the lines is es | imated to nmount to $100.(X<0,000 a 1 ear the railroads saT^hat they cannot j >ay it unless thrv are allowed to in- | rease freight ana pnssenper rates. The average wapes of the men en- | :aped In train service are already very nuch higher than those of other em- i tloyoes and they receive 2S per cent of ! he total payroll although constituting j >nly 18 per cent of the whole number if railroad workers. The Standard R in Co Relieves Constipation Easily Without Griping or Discomfort. Indigestion and constipation are two conditions that are closely rel ated and the cause of much physical suffering. The tendency to indulge one's appetite is more or less general and most people suffer at one time or another from rebellion of the overtaxed organs of digestion and elimination. A pleasantly effective remedy, that will quickly relieve the congestion of poisonous stomach waste and restore regularity, is the compound of simple laxative herbs sold by druggists at oOc a bottle under the name of Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This is a mild, pleasant laxative tonic, free from opiates or narcotic drugs, and has been the standard household remedy in thousands of homes for many years. Mrs Oliver Young, Merrill, Wis, writing to Dr Caldwell, says, she knows of nothing so effective for regulating the stomach and lwwels; since taking Dr Caldwell's Syrup * * m a 11UIII LCUUUi Lenud, August 28:?The storm did great damage here and the rains that fell after it almost finished up the crops. Farmers couldn't walk in their fields for two weeks,and the water washed up the cotton in some places and drowned it out, while unless they get some help it looks corn was flat on the ground. The writer has never seen anything like before. The garders were all ruined, and the cotton that is left is shedding off all the shapes. There won't be one-fourth of a crop made down here. The freshet came and the crops on the Santee river and Cedar creek were completely runied, and many people had to moye. It's very dark and gloomy down here for the farmers; their crops are all lost and many of them have no work to do at which to make a living, and i Ml ! it iooks HKe many win surrer. The work that the Government has done on the roads was a great help to the men, both white and colored, who were able to do that kind of work, but no help to men j who are not able to do it and there1 are a good many of this class. The protracted meeting at Gour- j dins Chapel will start the second j Sunday in September. The Sunday j school and preaching were stopped, on account of the freshet but have; started up again.

WHAT THE CATTLE TICK DOES. Reduces the Value of Our Beef Herds One-Half. Washington, D C, August 21:? The average value of beef cattle over two vears old in ten tick-infe9t ed States?North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas?was $25.90 on January 1, 1915. For the remainder of the country on that date it was $48.47. In Georgia and Florida the average price was $18, in Alabama $20. in Mississippi $22, in South Carolina $23, in Louisiana $24. In every tick-free State, with the exception of Vermont and Tennessee. the averacre value was $40 or more and in eighteen the average was over $50. There are two reasons why cattle in a ticky country are worth less than in a tick-free one. Thev weigh less and they bring less per pound. They bring less because they cannot be sold on the open market, but must be disposed of in quarantine pens for immediate slaughter only. Experienced dealers estimate that buyers offer from fifty cents to two dollars a hundred weight less for cattle from below the quarantine line and the owner, who cannot transship his herd to another market or sell the animals as feeders, is in no position to stand out for a better price. . Ticky cattle weigh less because they are scrubs to begin with and because the tick sucks the blood they need to make flesh. Experiments have shown that when the ticks are abundant they will take in the course of the year 200 pounds of blood from a thousand-pound steer. They don't take it all at once, of course, but they take it nevertheless and the steer, in order to live, has to make new blood. While he is busy at that, he is not likely to put on much weight. Fattening ticky steers is like trying to keep a leaky barrell full; there is a lot of waste in the process. Furthermore, as all cattlemen know, there is more money in grade stock than in scrubs. Elsewhere in the country farmers are turning their attention to grading up their herds, to securing animals that will respond to good treatment and feed; in the tick-infested sections of the South this has been impossible for no one will risk bringing, pure-bred bulls into a ticky county to die from Texas fever. Both directly and indirectly, therefore, the tick keeps down the weight of southern cattle and the eradication of the pest i3 essential if the southern beef producer is to compete on even terms with producers elsewhere. The matter is as vital to the sma I farmer as to the large cattle ownet. Students of agriculture are all agreed that the average southern farm today has too little stock upon it for its own good. The reason is obvious. Under the conditions created by the tick, cattle raising is not a sufficiently attractive industry to appeal to the average man. Without the tick, the UxniMAn.i ovkAA n /11 PF s\ WAW f OCno/?f Ullaiiitros cxaauiiica a uiuctciii This has been abundantly demonstrated in those sections in which the tick has been eradicated. Almost invariably the tick's disappearance is accompanied by an increase in the quantity and an improvement in the quality of the county's live stock, $1.00 to Charleston, 8 C, and Return, Friday, September 8. 1916,via Atlantic Coast Line.
