TWO COMPLAINTS ARE DISMISSED IN LADOIUASES Charges Against Richmond Casket Company and DilleMcGuire Co. Dismissed.

Labor complaints against the Dille and McGuire company and the Richmond Casket Factory company were dismissed at the request of Labor Organized Miller, the witness from the Richmond Casket Factory and Organizer Smith at the War Labor Board hearing Friday morning. The complaint against the Richmond Casket factory was dismissed because of the good attitude of J. H. Mills, president. It was explained. Mr. Miller said it would not be neces- ' sary for the War Labor Board to consider the matter as agreements could be reached by the co-operation of Mr. .. Mills and his employes. Mr. Miller and the witness said Mr. Mills had said he believed in unions as they were the only protection for the laboring man. Examiner Bland asked that women in the factory be shown the consideration the War Labor Board grants to women In industry, and that as soon as an agrement is reached between Mr. Mills and his employes the War Labor Board be notified. Paul Smith, national labor organizer, said the complaint against Dille and McGuire plant was dismissed at request of the employes, who do not wish to appear. Charles Griffith, former employe of the Simplex Tool company, made statements showing unrest at that plant. Griffith was a member of the committee which went to Mr. Feick at the Westcott Hotel in August to make adjustments at the plant. He said that at that time it was agreed between the committee and Mr. Feick that there would be an increase of from 5 cents to 14 cents on the hour with time and one-half for overtime and double time for Sundays and hol

idays. Griffith said that so far as he knew Mr. Feick never went to the Sixplex plant. When the pay envelopes were received no one received over 5 cents. They are now working ten hours a day with no overtime. Agree to Wage Cut. Mr. Grift 1th said that Mr. Porter, superintendent, called a meeting and suggested that the employes go back to a pre-war basis with with an eight or ten hour day at prevailing wage, with 11 hours pay for overtime. The employes held a meeting last night at which time they agreed to the cut in wages for eight hours providing they have time and one-half for overtime, and double time for Sundays and holidays, it was said. William Miller, A. Ellis and John Llnthicum were witnesses testifying as to conditions at the Louck and Hill plant. Their testimony showed that sanitary conditions at the plant of Louck and Hill are in bad condition. They testified that the employers do no collective bargaining, that a committee went to the employers and asked for a ten percent increase and William II. Roller, a former employe of the Starr Piano company, was put on the stand this morning to testify as to his discharge when he refused to sign an individual contract. Roller was a pattern maker in the department at the Starr Piano company in which propellors are made. He was a member of a committee which subt initted a proposed proposition to the company, which the company refused. He eaid that the foreman came to him and told him to get off of the committee. This he refused. A paper was brought to him by the foreman to elgn. It was also passed to the other employes. This paper stated that the undersigned would be willing to work on the next contract with the same conditions, wages and hours that now existed. The pnper was signed by other employes but RolW refused to plgn and twenty n'nutes nfter he was It was refused. The employers proposed a plan whicn was pi'doutii.j a bonus and which the employes refused. Some of the men then quit the plant, it was stated. A statement from Lcuck and Hill

Conquers Rheumatism In a Very Few Days

It is an established fact that a small dose of Rheuma taken once a day has driven the pain and agony from thousands of racked, crippled and despairing rheumatics during the last seven years. Powerful yet harmless, quick acting and inexpensive, Rheuma gives blessed relief almost at once. The magic name has reached nearly every ham-

i let in the land and there is hardly a

druggist anywhere who cannot tell you of almost marvelous cures. If you are tortued with rheumatism or sciatica, you can get Rheuma from Quigley's drug stores or any druggist, with the understanding that if it does not icompletely drive rheumatic poisons from your system money back. Adv.

COMMERCIAL CLUB DISCUSSES AFTER ' WAR PROBLEMS - ',y The board of directors of the Commercial club met in the club rooms at 4:30 Friday afternoon for their regular meeting and to consider several matters of importance. The question of financing the local training detachment camp was discussed. A number of cases of influenza in households where the disease cannot be properly attended have been brought to the notice of the club during the last two days, and at the meeting this afternoon Secretary Ullman suggested to the board members that a building be secured where In connection with the work of Miss Flora Mae Green of the Home Service Department of the Red Cross these patients can be cared for, and precaution be taken against another epidemic in the city. The constructing of a Liberty Building in honor of the Wayne county boys in the service was discussed and resolutions passed on the death of Earl Spangler and William Quigg. Reconstruction problems and after-war work for the club were considered. COMPLETE NATIONAL ROAD IMPROVEMENT The improvement of the National road, begun in the spring of 1917, was completed on Saturday, November 9. The approximate cost Is $200,000, according to County Surveyor Horton. The towns have spent $40,000 widening the road. There are seventeen and one-halt miles of eighteen foot concrete paving, including the county addition. The contract was let in 1916 for eleven miles. In 1917 a contract was let for two and one-half miles additional. There are eight miles in Jackson township across the whole county, be ginning at the west side of the county. The road begins at the Wayne and Center township line and runs five miles west. There are still one and one-half miles to be paved and owing to the fact that the construction was being operated under the three mile road law, this mile and one half could not be paved. It was then the idea to pave it under the state highway commission, but his has been declared unconstitutional. Mr. Horton said that it is intended to pave the road by some other means or other next year.

Now confess, if you've had such an experience, and take time by the forelock by preparing to check and abort colds, coughs, catarrh, difficult breathing, watering eyes and painful headaches. . It can be done, by taking MenthoLaxene either in its raw state ten drops to the dose or by making a granulated sugar syrup and mixing in a pint bottle or jar. A pint will last a whole family for a long time and keeps every member free from the distressing after-effects of a bad cold. Mentho-Laxene is guaranteed to please or money back by The Blackburn Products Co., Dayton, Ohio, and any well stocked druggist can supply you. Don't take- a substitute. There is really nothing to compare with MenthoLaxene. Adv.
