A Quick and Harmless
Rheumatism Remedy
That 11ns Driven All Agony from
Hundreds or Despairing
Sufferers.
Be fair to yourself, you sufferer j
from rheumatism, uo matter what |
form. Get from your druggist a pack- I
age of liheuma, tlie guaranteed pre- I
scription. Use the entire bottle, and
if you don't think It has given you |
quick and sure relief, say so, and you j
can have your money back.
Isn't that a fair offer? Can you see
any deceit about it? What chance do !
you take? Absolutely none.
Then get a bottle of Kheuma today. •
It's a reputable physician's prescrip- |
tion, altogether different from reme- .
dies usually prescribed free from nar
cotics, and perfectly harmless.
Rheuma acts on the kidneys and !
helps to force the umc acid from the |
swollen joints and other lodging !
places. It pleases you in a day; it I
makes you hopeful and happy in a |
week. It has released from bondage I
rheumatic sufferers who thought I
nothing would give relief. It should )
do as much for you—it seldom fails.
Kennedy's drug store will supply you
and guarantee money back if not sat
isfied. I

FEAR BIG RISE
IN COAL PRICES
! Congressional Probe of Im
pending Shortage Is
Suggested
Washington, Jnly Urging
: Congressional investigation of the

' ami coal operators told the House
I Hules Committee yesterday that a
fuel shortage was impending.
"Coal men fear the situation may
get away from them, and that prices
i may rise $5 or $6 a ton." declared
C. IS. l-usher, of the Geological bur
vev "Their advertising of the st
, nation is in hope that this may bo
avoided, for they know that the
! condition would reflect on them.
Anthracite production since Jan
uary 1 was 10,600,000 tons less than
| last year and bituminous H.iou.uuo
, tons, I.csher satd, due to lack of
i demand.
"The only remedy is for the con
' sunung public to lay in supplies

i George H. Cushing, managing dl

! Coal Association, said the coal short
age in the East and Northeast dur
ing the war would be repaired this

depend on the industrial activity in

INDUSTRIAL DEMOCRACY
WILL SOLVE THE LABOR
PROBLEM, SAYS OIL HEAD
New York, July 18.—Industrial
democracy is the question of the
present labor problem in America,
according to A. C. Bedford, dhait
man of the board of directors of the
Standard Oil Company of New Jer-
scy. ,
In an interview describing the
working out of a plan ofßOVem

ests of employer and employe weie

in fact. Many methods were dis- j
cussd and finally the present sys-,
tern was evolved.
How It Works Out
A joint board is set up conslst "
ing of a group of workers elected ,
by their follows by secret ballot, to
gether with an equal numbei of
representatives of the management. .
There is one reprtsentathe to each,
150 workers, and at least two repre
sentatives from every important
division of the industry.
Meeting at regular intervals, this >
joint board handles all questions
relative to wages, hours ot employ -
ment, discharge of unsat -factory'
workers, unsanitary conditions in
the shops, etc. in case of disagree
ment the matter is referred to the
board of directors. But in fifteen
months no such cases have arisen.
One condition which has always
irked workmen is that of unjust
discharges. This is guarded against,
and doubly guarded against under
the Standard Oil plan, hirst of all,
any man considering himself un- ,
justly discharged can place his ease
before the joint board. But. in ad- j
dition. every foreman holding the
nower of discharge, has a list of
fifteen offenses for which a man
may be summarily discharged or;
suspended. Beyond that list (which |
contains only the gravest of o- ,
fenscs) h'e cannot go. If the fore- .
man desired to discharge a man lor
r; other offense than those listed,
he must first give him formal warn
ing ihat a repetition will bring dis- >
m Furthermore, and hero is where
the padlock is riveted on the door,,
no man can be discharged for any
offense, whether of the list or not ,
until his foreman first has reported :
all the facts to the employment de- j
partment and a full investigation
has been made. The offender may 1
then he transferred to another ue- j
partment, suspended, or if the su- ,
printendent approves, discharged.
Mr. Bedford believed that "the ;
noise made by those advocating rad- |
ical changes in our form of govern- |
ment to-day is entirely out of pro- j
portion to their numbers and im- j
portance." , . i
New World Demanded
The unrest shaking Europe and, |
to a far less degree, felt here in j
America, is due, according to Mr. !
Bedford, to the belief that after the r ,
war we should have a new world.
People, he declared, are disappoint- .
ed to find the same old everyday J
problems confronting them, as be- ;
fore the war. As a result, the world !
faces an amazing array of economic i
heresies, ranging from the craze for 1
governmental control of all fornis.t
of commerce to the Bolsehvist j
frenzy which would destroy the
world. ~
But, added Mr. Bedford, if em- ;
ployers use common sense, intelli- j
gence and sympathy with labor, and, :
if labor uses common sense and in- |
telligence in its dealing with capi- ;
tal, the futune of America is safe. 1
"Employers," he declared, "are !
more generally realizing their re- :
sponsibtlities toward their employes, j
not only in the matter of wages but j
also in the conditions under which j
they work and live. Big business to- j
day is being humanized. The per- i
sonal contact which existed when the !
employer knew every one of his men '
by name is being restored."
On the other hand, he said, labor
must put a good deal Into the pot.
It must realize that it is interested
in the industry for which it works
to a far greater extent than merely
drawing its pay check on Saturday.
"The worker," said Mr. Bedford,
"is a vital part of the industrial or
ganization. When lie stalls that or
ganization by strikes, malingering
or in any fashion, he injures himself
just as much as if he were to cut off
a hand because he didn't like what
it was doing.
"What the worker must under
stand is that, if he would enjoy per
manent peace and prosperity, he
must give the employer a square
deal. He must see his responsibility
to the industry which employs him,
to the undertaking in which ho is
engaged, and lie must give the best
service he is able to give.

Plenty of Jobs For
Skilled Machinists
Washington, July 18.—"Skilled
workers, such as toolmakers, are in
great demand in cities like Cleve
land and Detroit, and other centers
where automobiles are manufac
tured," it is anouneed to-day by
tlic War Department, through its
le-employment office, under the di
rection of Colonel Arthur Woods, as
sistant to the Secretary of War.
"The fact is that really good ma
chinists have little difficulty in bo
taining employment in any of the
manufacturing centers, but in gen
eral there are more opportunities
In the Midtße West than in the
New EnglaniPterritory. Men skilled
at the trade can iind satisfuctoy jobs
in the .machine building industry
and in the manufacturing of ma
chine tools. There is no great de
mand at present, however, for un
skilled men in these fields."

the owners to place the iooms in
