CONFER ON WAGE SCALE
Employes of Railway and Light Com
pany to Meet With Vice-President
Hoover.
It was agreed upon Wednesday
morning at a preliminary conference
between F. W. Hoover, vice-president
of the Chattanooga Railway and Light
company, and a representative of the
platform men, that a fuller conference
would be held Wednesday afternoon and
the question of the recent wage award
gone into thoroughly.
Mr. Hoover has made it plain that
In the present matter of organization
of the men and the request for higher
wages the company would be gov
erned strictly by the principles enun
ciated by the war labor board, and It
s expected that the men will also fol
low these principles to the letter.
The question of recognition of the
union Is not at Issue now, said Mr.
Hoover.
According to the rules of the war
labor bonrd, employers must recognize
the principle of collective bargaining1.
and deal with employes committees,
but at the same time unions cannot
insist upon recognition and make that
an Issue for strikes. Mr. Hoover said
that all of this was thoroughly under
stood by both the company and the men
and he anticipated a satisfactory con
ference.

Every effort possible Is being made
by the city health officials and officials
of the United States public health
service to check the progress of the
epidemic of Influenza which has been
sweeping the city for the past week,
and Wednesday morning a concen
trated campaign was made against all
public places.
Early this morning a squad of of
ficers from the city health office made
the rounds of all of the poolrooms and
ordered them closed till the danger of
the epidemic has passed. The public
library has also been ordered closed.
The officers this morning divided the
city Into five divisions and an officer
was assigned to each. The officers
made an inspection tour of all depart
ment stores, hotels, restaurants and
other places where the public goes, and
the management of each of these places
was ordered to have all of the windows
kept open during the day and to have
the floors and cuspidors properly fumi
gated twice a day. Anyone found vio
lating this order will be ordered to
close his store till after the epidemic
Is over.
Orders have been issued to all offi
cers to have a strict enforcement of
the ordinance prohibiting expectorat
ing on the floors or walls of any pub
lic building or place. Anyone found
violating this ordinance will be prose
cuted to the full extent.
The campaign for sanitation is be
ing waged under the direction of Lieut.
C. O. Strusc, chief sanitary officer of
the United States public health serv
ice, and F. J. Hoage, city sanitary of
ficer, and they have stated that the
main efforts of their Inspectors will be
centered on the present influenza-epidemic.
As It Is, the only public gathering
that will be permitted Is that In con
nection with the fourth liberty loan
campaign. The commissioner declared
that they had not decided whether it
would be necessary for them to call
off the big demonstration scheduled for
Saturday night in connection with the
loan drive, as this is out-of-doors and
Is considered less dangerous. It Is
realized, however, that people will pack
n street cars coming and returning
from the parade and it will mean a
general close contact so in the event
the epidemic continues, this, too, may
be abandoned.

WENT OVER TOP WITH
RAINBOW DIVISION
Tom Marler Lost His Luck
When He Was Transferred
to Another Unit.
From a hospital In France, Tom Mar
ler writes a Chattanooga friend that
he lost his luck when he was trans
ferred from the famous Rainbow di
vision. His letter says:
"I went In the trenches with the
Rainbow division, and we were among
the first Americans to hold a sector
against the Huns. With them I went
over the top many times and against
the boches With all our might with
this division, and came out every time
without a scratch. How I escaped
when all around me was a writable
hell Is a question that can never be
answered. Then I was transferred to
another division of as good fighting
men as ever donned a uniform. Until
this time I believed that the Rainbow
division was 'it.' But now, I believe
they are all 'it' when the supreme
moment comes. As I went over into
no man's land the fourteenth time
Heinle liked to have got me. I am
staying in this honpltal longer than I
expected. The rascals gave mc some
pas. They have no meters and don't
care how much they use. Then about
that time a shell exploded near me
which lifted me into the air and let
me drop very hard back to the earth.
Then I was out of business, but the
other boys went on, and at last ac
counts were still going. And how I
wish I could be with them! To be
safn behind the lines Is entirely un
satisfactory, when you know what your
comrades are doing at the front. But
give me a thousand deaths In the front
lines rather than the coward's heart
which would constrain me to stay at
home. I am only a lad. I can give
you no description of what takes place
when two great armies collide. Words
have never been made that will tell
It. You asked me for It. but you will
have to come over and see for your
self, and then you can't tell It, either.
The newspapers have men over here
who have the whole vocabulary of the
English language at their command,
and they haven't commenced to tell It.
And It never will be told and never will
be known except In the hearts Of the
men who are In It. But the Amer
ican lads want no honors when they
return. For every honor that Is show
ered on us will cause us to realize the
price our comrades have paid, who
have gone to eternal sleep on the fields
of France. We ask no honors. All
we ask Is that you hold up your end
of it. And the American back home
who does not do It Is worse than any
Hun In the kaiser's whole flock."

these figures represent the entire mini

Mr. Patten den'ared, were all showing

men had gone.
A number of new solicitors were put

they we-e all Instructed when they
left headquarters to make every effort
to cover as n.uch of their territory

Decision Regarding Contin
uance of Conference Will
Be Announced Then.
Becausu of the prevalence of In
fluenza In Chattanooga and suburbs
and the efforts that are being made
lo keep the epidemic from spreading,
the fifth annual Bible conference,
which opened Sunday at the Baptist
tabernacle, has been discontinued until
text Sunday
At 10 o'clock Sunday morning Dr.
W. Leon 'Tucker, of New York City,
404.550 re of the conference speakers, will
167,050 conduct a study class on the oourt-
164.300 house lawn, and at II o clock on the
171,450 same day. Dr. r. W. Phllpott. of Ham-
oo .lion, Ontailo, Canada, will deliver an
814,250 address at the same place. Then, at
111,100 Sunday af'ernoon, a big patriotic
200,350 meeting, In the Interest of liberty
26,200 bonds, will be held on the courthouse
lawn, with On, Tucker and 1'bllpott
as speakers. There is to be special
music and other features.
Dr. Phllpott wns unable to take part
In tho conference last year because
ho was drafted by the Canadian gov
ernment to servo on a draft board.
He later spoke In various parts of
Canada In the .Merest of government
bonds and other government work.
Dr. Tucker has spoken In a number
of cities of America In the Interest
of the liberty 'oan.
Following the meeting Sunday after
noon the decision as to continuing the
conference program, as originally out
lined, will be reached.
The expenses of thi conference, ac.
cording to Dr. J. B. l'hllllps, pastor of
the Baptist tabernacle, and a leader
In the conference movement In Chat
tanooga, will run around $4,000. The
outlay, he said, Is already about half
that amount. Including the large
i mount for advertising which flooded
the city. Dr. 1'hlll'ne feels that the
matter of recompense for the confer
ence workers, speakers and singers Is
morally binding.
BAN PLACED ON PUBLIC
MEETINGS OF ALL KINDS
Every Precauion Will Be Taken
by Authorities to Stop Spread
of Influenza.
As a precautionary measure against
the sprend of Spanish influenza, all
schools, churches and public gather
ings will be closed until after the epi
demic has subsided.
This course was decided upon Tues
day afternoon at a conference of health
and school officials of both the county
and city governments, held at the
courthouse, for the purpose of discuss
ing wajfl and means of stamping out
the epidemic.
Dr. Jewett, of the United States pub
lic health service, who Is making a spe
cialty of the disease, disclosed the
startling Information that there are at
present 5,000 cases of influenza In the
city. He said that there have been
but 200 of these cases reported to the
health office, and as a consequence the
work of this department Is some
what hindered. He urged that all cases
bo reported In order that the public
health service may properly catalogue
them.
MaJ. Williamson, sanitary officer at
Fort Oglethdrpe, who Is directing the
campaign against the disease at the
post, mnde a short talk In Which he
recommended that the children In the
schools be taught to cover their faces
when they sneeze or cough. He said
thnt one of tho best preventatives of
the disease, was plenty of fresh air.
Dr. C. P. Knight, of the United
States public health service, then made
a short talk, In which he said that an
absolute quarantine of all meetings
should go Into effect immediately In
order that the epldemlo might be
abated. Dr. Knight's opinion was sus
tained by Dr. Denklns, county physi
cian, and Dr. J. W. MacQulllan. presi
dent of the Chattanooga Medical asso
ciation. Dr. J. B. Phillips, pastor of the Bap
tist lanernnele, appeared before the
conference and presented tho position
that his church was in on account, of
having arranged for a Bible confer
ence to be held for the coming three
weeks. However, he expresaed his wil
lingness to abide by any decision
which they might make. T)r. Major, of
tho First Baptist church, said that nan.
pie on earth should do everything pos
sible for themselves and then should
call on God to do what they couldn't,
so hi- felt that he could well postpone
his revival. Dr. W. F. Smith, pastor
of the Stone church, said that, his
mceiing might well ha put off, too.
Bishop Frank If, Bristol, of the Hol
ston conference of the Methodist Ktils
copal church, said thnt thev would hn
glad to postpone the Ifolston confer
ence till the danger Is past.
At the close of the meeting a sweep.
Ing order affecting at public meetings
was passed to go Into effect at o'clock
Wednesday morning and to remain In
force till the epidemic has passed.

You know well enough that you
cannot reach the blood by apply
ing lotions, ointment, salves,
washes and other local applica
tions to the surface of the skin.
So when you use such treatment
for your tormenting skin diseases,
the most you can expect is a tem
porary discontinuance of the
pain, which promptly returns, and
keeps you constantly applying the
local remedies, making no prog
ress whatever toward permanent
ly ridding yourself of the disease.
Why longer continue such
makeshift treatment? Go to your
drug store today and get a bottle
of S. S. S., the reliable blood
purifier, and begin a treatment
that will prove satisfactory, as it
has to thousands of others who
were afflicted just as you have
been. S. S. S. has been used for
more than fifty years, so that you
are not experimenting when you
take it. It will promptly cleanse
the blood of every impurity, and
rout out entirely every trace of
disease germs.
Don't continue to suffer, but
begin taking S. S. S. today, and
write our head physician, who
will give your full instructions
about your own case. Address
