NEW YORK PAPERS ARE TIED UP BY PRESSMAN STRIKE Walkout Comes After Eighteen Months' Strife Over Wage Scale, By United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—New York City awoke to find its morning paper niiasing from the doorstep. A strike of 2.500 members of the Newspaper "Web Pressmen’s Union, Local 25, early today tied up practically every daily in the greater city. An exception was the New York Call, Socialist. The walkout came as the culmination of eighteen months of bitter strife over wages and working conditions. It was unexpected, however, as far as the general public was concerned, 18 Papers Are Hit The following newspapers were included in the strike order: The American, the Journal, the Morning World, the Evening World, the Times, the Tribune, the Herald, the Sun and Globe, the Illustrated Daily News, the Morning Telegraph, the Evening Telegram, the Evening Mall, the New York Evening Post, the Journal of Commerce, Brooklyn Daily Eagle, Brooklyn Standard Union, the Brooklyn Citizen and II Progresso Italo-Amerieano. It was announced the vote to strike was unanimous. The Manton award, according to the pressmen, refused wages, interferred with union shop rules and required men to work any eight hours in twelve. This expired Sept. 1, and it was in hopes of an agreement more favorable to them that the pressmen of Local 25 had met. When this was not forthcoming, they struck. No Violence Reported First hours of the strikes were unmarked by violence, but the average New Yorker and pit men who had found seats In the crowded subway where women were standing, found it strange annoyance to get downtown without the morning paper. David Simmons, president of local 26, declared today the strike was a complete success and that the men would stay out until some sort of an agreement with the papers are reached.

Twin Sisters Love Same Man and Say Would Like to Share Him as Husband

By NEA Service nTTiARIETTA, Ga., Sept. |lVl| 18.—Ruth Webb and Ruby Webb, twins, are in love. They both love the same man. And the man, they say, loves both of them. He can’t tell Ruth from Ruby, Ruby from Ruth. He can’t tell which he wants to marry. When he makes love to Ruth he can’t tell her from Ruby and when he makes love to Ruby he's not sure whether she’s Ruby or Ruth. The question is: 44 Can three live as cheaply as one?” And, if so—where? “We’d both marry him,” the Webb twins say, “if the law would let us.” He would, too, they say. He’s in New York, and he writes them regularly. Every time he writes he has to write two love letters, one to Ruby and one to Ruth. The letters are different —not mere mimeographs! —and each is just exactly as ardent as the other. No favoritism here I Ruby and Ruth are 21. They’re blondes. They fell in love “at first sight.” You

MANY INDIANAPOLIS PEOPLE VERY FORTUNATE Very recently, In fact right now, there is an Epidemic of Stomach Trouble prevailing in our city, and in many surrounding villages. Terre Haute very recently had hundreds of cases and as here in Indianapolis, many old time prescriptions and remedies failed to relieve the trouble. Registered druggists of the Buntin Drug Cos., Terre Haute, knowing of the unusual merit of Shapley’s Original Btomach Medicine, began recommending this remedy to a few cases, who were very quickly, entirely relieved of the trouble. This news promptly spread over the city until this store alone sold hundreds of bottles during the past six months. Apparently, the wonderful corrective value of this remedy has been told around Indianapolis as a number of our local druggists report an Increased demand for it and state that all who are taking It get quick relief from Stomach Trouble. The manufacturers of Shapley's Original Stomach Remedy will refund your money, If it does not help you, or you think that It in no way benefited you. You can get it at any drug store in Indianapolis, or surrounding towns. If you are suffering, Isn’t a remedy that Is Guaranteed worth trying? TRY IT TODAY—RIGHT NOW.

“I wish,” says Ruby, “there was a law legalizing polygamy. We’ve simply got to marry the same man. All our lives we’ve shared everything. Why shouldn’t we share a husband ? ’ ’ “Why not, indeed?” says Ruth. “We wear the same clothes, and we never quarrel about who’s to wear them. We’d share a husband happily, and we wouldn’t quarrel over him.” Ruby and Ruth have never been separated, day or night, in their lives. “And,” they say, “we’re not going to begin now. “To be apart w r ould break our hearts. Whoever loves one of us must put up with both of us.” The name of the sweet heart of the Webb twins? They won’t tell. “It wouldn’t he fair to him,” they say. “But we’re glad to tell the world we love him. And at the right time, when we’ve found a solution to our problem, well tell. .We agree, though, that he’s the handsomest and sweetest thing you ever saw. We*re crazy about him.”
