POLITICS SEEN IN BROTHERHOOD PLAN FOR RAILS

Railroad Employes Entered Agreement With A. F. L. Claim. WASHINGTON, Aug. 11. Two million railroad employes, through their representatives, the heads of the four brotherhoods, have entered into a combination with the American Federation of Labor and the new "national labor party," in order to "push over" the Plumb tripartite control railway plan, which gives promise of placing them in the center of the political campaign in 1920. This combination, it is learned at the capital, only recently has been finally completed. Despite the fact that the railroad men for several years have held aloof from the federation of which Samuel Gompers is the head, it is understood that they effected a bargain with the Executive Council of that organization whereby they would agree to affiliate with it and pay dues to It. In return, the National Convention was to indorse the Plumb plan and use all Its force to accomplish the re alization of the scheme. Convention Backs 8cheme. At any rate, the American Federa tion at Atlantic City in June took such action, after hearing Plumb, and the brotherhoods filed application for membership. Those who claim to see through this deal declare that the eridenoe of it is substantiated further by the fact that the convention turned down every other "ultra-radical and revolutionary" project except Plumb's, which la said to be founded in part on the Soviet principle that transportation should be In the hands of the proletariat and in part on the Socialist dictum that all instruments of production and distribution should be owned and operated In common. W-AN NATIONAL CONFERENCE WASHINGTON, Aug. 11. A national conference to consider all plana submitted to congress for solution of the railroad problem will be held here October 6, under the auspices of the Plumb organisation bureau. In making public announcement last night of the meeting Chief Justice Walter Clark of the North Carolina Supreme Court and chairman of the Plumb plan preliminary conference, said special committees would be appointed to analyze the different proposals. GERMANS BUYING OUT AMERICANS' ARMY SUPPLIES (By AniMjclatfld Press) WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES IN GERMANY, July 12. Old material used by the Third army on the Rhine is being disposed of In a hurry. German civilians alone recently have been buying from twenty-five to forty carloads of salvaged material each day. Germans assemble in Coblentz, or the other towns where the aution sales are held, by the hundreds, some coming from Cologne, from Mayence, and others as far as Frankfort-on-Main, Casel and other parts of unoccupied Germany. At a recent sale in Coblenz with a German-speaking doughboy as auctioneer 125,000 leather Jerkins were sold to the Germans for 2,000,000 marks. (The recent army exchange on marks is 2.50 marks for one franc). The same day 30,000 raincoats, many of them having been used by American soldiers during the war, were sold for 250,000 marks. Germans Eager to Buy The Germans eagerly buy anything offered by the Americans, particularly any articles containing leather or rubber. Ten thousand American-made gas masks were sold a few days ago to civilians who planned to make use of the rubber for commercial purposes. More than one hundred tons of harness, some of It German made and abandoned after the armistice, were disposed of at a recent aution sale near Coblenz. Forty thousand pairs of American field shoes, many of which had been worn and torn in the march of the doughboys from Luxembourg to the Rhine In December, were sold in lots at a special sale. German Eagles In Bar Ruled Down By Legion (B,r Associated Press) LOUISVILLE, Ky.. Aug. 11. Pictures of German eagles painted on the walls of a Louisville hotel rathskeller drew a resolution of protest from the local chapter of the American Legion and resulted in the proprietors promptly agreeing to substitute the likeness of the American bird of the species. The hotel owners at the outset asserted the paintings represented either British or Italian eagles. Officers of the legion expressed the belief that they were German. Finally it was determined to submit the matter to the librarian of the Louisville free public library who said they represented the German species. M Calend asonic ar Tuesday, Aug. 12.

Captain Woodfill, Hero Of War, Is Visiting Mother (By Associated Press) MADISON, Ind., Aug. 11. Wearing four decorations for valor, Captain Samuel Woodfill, one of Indiana's greatest heroes in the world war, now is visiting hla aged mother at Bryantsburg, Jefferson county. The medals bestowed on Captain Woodfill are the Croix de Guerre, the Congressional Medal of Honor, the Chevalier de Legion, and the Distinguished Service medal. The Montenegrin government also has indicated that it purposes to add still another decoration to the captain's list. Capt. Woodfill won the Congressional medal for displaying exceptional courage in capturing three machine guns, which held up his company, M of the 60th Infantry, at Cunel, France, on Oct. 12, 1918. During the fighting, according to the citation printed in The Stars and Stripes, Capt. Woodfill killed four men on one machine gun, seven on another and some on the third and captured three. The Captain's father also was a Hoosier and a fighter, having served in the Mexican war and in the Union army In the Civil war, rising to the rank of Captain. Captain Woodfill attributes much of his success in the world war to the fact that he is an expert rifle and pistol shot and to hi3 knowledge of woodcraft, which he attained in hunting here and in Alaska, lie recently remarked that he used the same tactics in hunting Germans that he used In hunting wild animals. Besides his mother, Capt. Woodfill HIM MRS. BOYD AVOIDED AN OPERATION Canton, Ohio. "I suffered from a female trouble which caused me much suffering, and two doctors decided that I would have to go through an operation before I could get well. "My mother, who had been helped by LydiaE. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, advised me to try it before submitting to an operation. It relieved me from my troubles so I can do my house work without any difficulty. I advise any woman who is afflicted with female troubles to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial and it will do as much for them." Mrs. Mabie Boyd, 1421 6th St., N. E., Canton, Ohio. Sometimes there are serious conditions where a hospital operation is the only alternative, but on the other hand so many women have been cured by this famous root and herb remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, after doctors have said that an operation was necessary every woman who wants to avoid an operation should give it a fair trial before submitting to such a trying ordeal. If complications exist, write to Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mass., for advice. The result of many years experience is at your service.

N.H.DUDLEY WAS UNABLE TO WORK FOR 18 MONTHS Felt Like His Muscles Were Tied in Knots, He SaysTanlac Ends Trouble. "At the time I began taking Tanlac I had not been able to hit a lick of work in eighteen months," said N. H. Dudley, a well known employe of the Barger Lumber Company, living at 318 Newton street, Kansas City, Mo., recently. "I was so afflicted with rheumatism," he continued, "that I had to have help to get my clothes on and off. My muscles seemed to contract, or draw up, until they felt like they were tied in knots and the pain was almost unbearable. When I tried to walk around or do a lltle light work the small of my back and hips ached so bad I would simply have to lie down, and some nights I couldn't stay in bed, the pain was so severe. Along with the rheumatism I also suffered from stomach trouble and nervousness and had no appetite. I was in a miserable condition and, as nothing ever helped me, I had lest nearly all hope of getting any better. "Finally I saw a testimonial from someone telling how they had gotten rid of rheumatism by taking Tanlac, so I began taking the medicine myself and before my first bottle was gone I noticed a considerable improvement. My appetite was better, my nerves more quiet and my rheumatic pains began to ease up. Well, in a few weeks the medicine had me in shape to where I could work and I have not lost a day in six months. The rheumatism has left my back and hips entirely and my nerves are also in good shape. My appetite is good all the time and I sleep fine every night. In fact I am in better shape than I have been in five years and Tanlac is what has made the difference." Tanlac is sold in Richmond by Clem Thistlethwaite; in Greensfork by CD. Sornine; in Cambridge City by Mr. Dean House; in Pershing by Sourbeer & Rodenberg; in Centerville by Centerville Pharmacy, and in Jlilton by W. L. Parkins. Adv. PHOTOS 72Z MAIN 3T RJQ1MOMCX ltjf

A. F. CARNEGIE

(Continued from Page One) master weaver, was brought almost to destitution. The family numbered four, including "Andy" and his younger brother William. The parents decided to emigrate to America, whence some relatives had preceded them with euccess. They .settled and Andrew found work in a cotton factory, the son as bobbin boy,. It was his first work. The salary was $1.20 a week. He was soon promoted, at a slight advance, to engineer's assistant. He stoked the boilers and ran the engine In the factory cellar. At 14 Carnegie became a telegraph messenger. J. Douglas Reid, a Dunfermline man, who had come to Ameri ca early, was head of the office and he made Andrew his protege. Tele graph was then almost a new thing. Nobody ventured to read the dots and dashes by sound. They were all im pressed on taps. Carnegie is said to have been the third operator in the United States to accomplish the feat of reading messages by sound alone. He practised mornings before the regular operators came around. "One day a death message signal came," he has related, "before the operators arrived. In those days death messages were the most Important messages we handled. I ventured to take this one." Becomes Telegraph Clerk He did it correctly and delivered the telegram before the regular force was on duty at all. It won him promotion to the key and sounder. When the Pennsylvania railroad put up a telegraph wire of Its own, he became clerk under Divisional Superintendent Thomas A. Scott. His salary jumped to $35 dollars a month. "Mr Scott," he observed, "was then receiving $125 a month, and I used to wonder what on earth he could do with so much money." The next step toward independence and fortune came when T. T. Wood ruff, the inventor of the sleeping car, approached him with a model of the invention. "He had not spoken to me a minute," Carnegie has since recalled "before, like a flash, the whole range of its value burst upon me. 'Yes,' I said, 'that is something which this continent must have.' He consulted Scott, and the three Invested for the manufacture of the cars. Carnegie, then earning $50 monthly, had to borrow $200 on his first installment of capital, but later when he sold out his interest to the Pullman Company, he had realized $10,000 for the venture. Carnegie was 26 when the Civil War broke out and he saw his old employer and friend Scott elevated to the poBt of assistant secretary of war. Carnegie, in turn, won an appointment as director of government railways and telegraphs. To the carnage he saw at several battles may be traced hi3 lifelong belief in the folly of warfare "a blot upon civilization." Adopted Bessemer Process. Carnegie later began to see that iron rails must be given up for steel. On a visit to England in 1868, he discovered the success being obtained there with the Bessemer process. Carnegie quietly brought It home, and before the English makers were aware of the fact, he had adopted it In his mills.

The romance of his success was

such that the immigrant boy of 1848 became forty years later the world's leading producer of steel, a multi-mil lionaire. Many square miles of his mills surrounded Pittsburg. He reached into upper Michigan, 700 miles away, and acquired vast regions of ore land. He established railway and steamship lines to bring the ore to him. He boasted of the reduction of the price of steel rails from $95 a ton down to $26. A former secretary once divulged what was alleged to have been official correspondence to the effect that the Carnegie steel combination could sell rails at a profit as low as $12 a ton. Bought Him Out. It was certain that the grip which he had upon the steel situation made his elimination necessary if others in quest of wealth in steel were to realize the millions they saw going to him. He was, accordingly, bought out in 1901. The syndicate headed by J. P. Morgan, which desired to form the billion dollar United States Steel cor poration, paid $420,000,000 in five per cent bonds for the Carnegie company's Holdings. "The secret and method of my suc cess is simple," he said. "I organzed my business into departments. I put tne best man l could find at the head of each department, held him respon sible and judged mm by results. I have started more than fifty men on the road to millionaires. Carnegie's mother, to whom he re peatedly gave credit for all that he was, lived to be an octogenarian, and so devoted was he to her that he hes itated to marry. In 1888, however, he married Louise Whitefield, of New York, by whom he had one child, a daughter, Margaret, born In 1897. His bride was twenty years his junior. To her and her daughter probably re mains a large fortune, notwithstanding uarnegies pudiic girts. As an American citizen he establish

This mammoth baronial structure he remodeled, bringing some steel for the purpose from Pittsburg. On his Skibo flag staff he flew both the Stars and Stripes and the Union Jack sewed together. Wanted To Be Reporter. Intermittently, Carnegie made ready use of his pen. His interview with the newspaper men invariably wound up with an envious remark such as "1 would like nothing better than to

be a reporter." He wrote a little for the press in the days of Horace Greeley, and later owned a paper for a time. His books numbered about a dozen, his first being a testimony to his love of coaching "An American Four-In-Hand in Great Britain" (1883). The next year he wrote "Around the World." Then, "Triumphant Democracy," a review of 50 years of the Republic. Upon his retirement from business in 1901, he wrote -The Gospel of Wealth," and followed it with "The Empire of Business." In 1905 he, once an engineer in the factory cellar, wrote "The Life of James Watt," the inventor of the steam en gine. His mosi recent ur& "Problems of Today." The attacks upon Carnegie were at one time numerous. He was often accused of having violated in practice what he had so conspicuously preached in theory, regarding labor. He saw the development of workmen's unions and sometimes was forced to concede their demands. He himself claimed to have always maintained a relatively higher wage in his mills than any other manufacturer. RUMANIANS IN BAN AT PARIS, Aug. 11.
