HIS HAS BEEN A BAD YEAR
FOR MEN WHO “STIMULATE”
A Former Senator and Banker Talks About
“Troubles” ot Drink or Drug Users
During the Year 1914 and the
Panics ot 1893 and 1907.
Tn an authorized interview, Hon. J. E.
Bruce says: “I have no doubt that my
experience and observations during anti
following the panics of 1893 and 1907 were
the same as that of all Jther bankers
during the strenuous days of tho3e years
and the past few months.
‘‘During such ‘nerve racking’ times, the
high class man—the previous social drink
er—takes liquor as a stimulant to 'drown*
his troubles. Habit is acquired which
soon results in alcoholic or drug poison
ing—a serious diseased condition from
which there is no escape hut untimely
death unless the virulent poison ‘stored
up’ In the system is sooner eliminated.
“As a result of my observations of the
many ‘wrecks’ of formerly high ela«s
man from the use of tinny or drugs, I
have devoted my entire time for the past
five yeara in an effort to place the Neal ,
Treatment within the reach of all meti
and women who need medical treatment, j
“Already, through the cc-operation ot1
bankers and other business and profes
sional men in other cities we have 64
Neal institutes estab^sned and others
opening in principal cities in which tens
of thousands have received the benefits
of the Neal Treatment.”
The Neal Treatment is guaranteed to
eliminate the poison from the system,
cieate a loathing for liquor or drugs
and restore normal mental and physical
conditions in a less number of days than
Vie weeks or months required ny old
time methods of treatment—by an agree
ment to refund the entire amount paid
to any patient who is not entirely satis
fied at the end of the treatment.
We solicit the co-operation of all in
terested in the uplift of man and per
sonal calls or correspondence from all
interested.

ett, a negro who was arrested ani

Ho was taken before the Judge and

self on the mercy of the court, stating
that he was sick at th& time he broke

ill. He looked the part and after ques
tioning him as to the nature of his ill
ness Judge Fort imposed a sentence of
five years in the penitentiary. The ne
gro expressed his gratitude for the len
iency of the Judge and stated that the

hoped for.

caused most likely from electric light

FACTS CONCERNING
COLORADO LABOR
Pamphlet Issued by Presi
dent of Fuel and Iron Co.
Investigated—Decline
to Name Author
Denver. Col.. December 5.—Facts con
cerning “the struggle In Colorado for In
dustrial freedom,” a pamphlet which J.
F. Welborn, president of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company, said his cor
poration had caused to be written, were
Investigated today by the federal commis
sion on Industrial relations. The com
mittee Inquired both into the responsi
bility for the publication and the truth
of Its statements.
Mr. Welborn testified that the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company published the
document and distributed 40,000 copies. He
said that several paragraphs should be
qualified, that of the truth of others he
had no evidence and repudiated responsi
bility for still other statements.
The witness declined to name the au
thor, who, he said, came to Colorado to
write the book #ifter a conversation with
eastern directors of the company. He
did not know who was to pay the writer.
Mr. Welborn said the writer was ^111
In the employ of the company.
Question Welborn
Chairman Walsh questioned Mr. Wel
born consernlng a statement printed that
at some of the mines from 90 to 99 per
cent of the miners before the strike was
•called signed papers expressing satisfac
tion with working conditions and opposing
the strike. Mr. Welborn said at the Rouse
mine 99 per cent of the miners elgned
the statement but that 40 per cent went
out when the strike was called. At three
other mines, he said, 90 per cent signed
but considerably less than that percent
age remained at work.
Mr. Walsh called the witness’ attention
to a table appearing in the pamphlet
giving sums alleged to have been paid
to national officers of the United Mine
Workers. According to this table sums
paid out In nine weeks were:
Frank J. Haynes, >4502 plus >1667 for ex
penses; John McLennan, $2683 plus >1409
for expenses; John R. Dawson. $1773; Mary
Jbnes. >2668.
“Do you accept personal responsibility
for this?” asked Walsh.
"For as much of the published state
ment as has not been denied.” replied
Welborn.
“If It is true that McLennan gets >4
a day will you correct it?“
“Just as soon as I believe it is wrong.” |
Mr. Welborn said the statement was i
published first in a newspaper. re
sopnse to questions by Mr. Walsh'' he
said he had not been certain denials flat
were cited.
“Did you look for a repudiation?”
“No, I had a great deal else to d<.”
Mr. Welborn reiterated that the state
ment had been published on the autho.lty
of the newspaper in which it first aj
peared.
“Of course .if the newspaper stabemenv'
is incorrect this statemerTk J« incorrect,”
he said.
Commissioner O’Connel said the figures
given were from the report of William
Green, secretary of the United Mine
Workers, and covered total salary and
expenses for one year, not nine weeks.
“Of course. I had no access to Mr.
Green’s report.’’ said Welborn.
The statement in the pamphlet which
alleged that the delegates to the Trinidad
convention that called the strike were
selected and sent there by the officers
of the union, Mr. Welborn declared he
could, not substantiate. The pamphlet
stated that of the >500,000 employes of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company had on
deposit with the company only 20 per
cent had been withdrawn. Under cross
examination Mr. Welborn said that of the
total sum only >60,000 was on demand
notes and of this >30,000 was the property
of miners. The rest of the money was
deposited on interest-bearing time notes,
which the company could refuse to pay
before maturity, which fact was stated
on the notes.
The total loss to the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company caused by the strike was
>800,000, Mr. Welborn said.

Prescriptions Free
At Norton’s
During the month of December it is the usual custom of Norton’s
Drug Store to fill free of charge all prescriptions for those who need
medicine and are unable to pay for same, provided a note from the attend
ing physician is brought with the prescription. In this way we hope to
reach many who are in need of medicine and are unable to pay for it. December seems
to bring to the poor more suffering than any other month in the year—this December espe
cially—as so many persons are unable to earn enough to provide necessities for their
loved ones. How glorious it would be if all mankind could be provided with food, cloth
ing and all comforts necessary to life, so that at Christmas time there would be no poor,
no sickness, no death; then the whole world could .join in singing, “Peace on Earth, Good
Will Toward Men.” We ask the physicians of the city to help us by sending these
worthy ones to us. No matter what their nationality or religion, we want to assist as best
we may to make the closing year brighter for them and for ourselves.

Weather Conditions
Birmingham, December #.—(7 p. m.)
The weather continues cloudy and unset
tled from the Mississippi valley eastwrrd.
but the rain area Is moving northeastwrrd
toward the eastern great lakes. Snow
was falling at Pittsburg tonight and will
fall over the northeastern states during
the next 24 hours. The weather is clearing
slowly along the Gulf of Mexico, and
r early clear weather prevails between th6
Mississippi and the Rockies. Beyond the
Rockies is another shallow depression ac
compamed by generally cloudy and rain* ,
weather, and some snowfall on the west
ern plaeau.
A high pressure wave is crossing the
western plains, but it is not intense enough
to do more than chec kthe rising temper
atures in the Missouri and Mississippi
valleys. Farther northwest in Alberta
province and northern Montana, the tem
peratures are low and falling somewhat,
but It is not likely that the cola change
W’ill affect us much more In the south. In
the Birmingham district we look for
nearly stationary temperature.
