Testifying at a National Labor Re- Jations Board hearing into union charges that the Remington Rand Co. employed “unfair” labor tactics in dealing with its workers, Whitney said he refused the request “because the men were non-residents.” He testified that the request was made to him and to the chief of Ilion Ppolice “the last day in May” about | the time the company’s widespread strike began. Whitney gave the answers, “I don't | " “I can't say,” “I don't remem- " to several questions pressed by Danpiel B.

He said that Reginald Boote, whom he identified as the head of an or- ganization seeking to persuade the men to return to work, toid the board members that the strike was called “unfairly and illegally” and that if the men didn't go back the plant would be moved.

Eggert of Syracuse, freight agent for the Lackawanna Railroad, testified concerning ship- ments of the office equipment firm and said that most of them were of an inter-state nature.

After yesterday’s stormy winds and rain, bright sunshine flooded the waters as the youthful monarch, in- specting the fleet for the first time eince his accession, left the Flagship Nelson and sped in a fast boat along the line of battleships, cruisers, de- stroyers and submarines. The fighting craft were “dressed all over” with bright-colored flags strung from one end of each ship to the next in line. On his inspection of the Narwhal, Britain’s newest submarine, the King discarded his sword and clambered down the forward hatch into the spot- less, metal-gleaming depths of the underseas ship. He remained below 15 minutes. Returning ashore, he in- spected several hundred men of the anti-submarine flotilla, also fishery and mine-sweeping units.

ERADICATION SEE OF OLD AFFLICTION Northwestern U. Medical Group Announces Treatment for Syphilis. BY the Assoclited Press. ‘ CHICAGO, November 13.—Three Northwestern University medical men yesterday announced discovery of a treatment which they said might cure syphilis in its primary stages and lead to the “early and speedy eradication of the disease.” The method, disclosed by Drs. Clar- ence A. Neymann, Theodore K. Law- Jess and 8. L. Osborne of the School of Medicine staff, involves a combina- tion of artificial fever treatment and injections of two drugs, eoarsphena- mine and bismuth salicylate. ‘All of the cases wé have treated with combined therapy have become ported, “and have shown no clinical signe of syphilis for periods ranging between 5 and 18 months. We believe, therefore, that the early and speedy eradication of the disease by this method seems probable.” ‘The treatments, averaging five ses- mmolm«mnmnnh- nlflvullharurwlod quired by other methods before ob- taining negative reactions. ————— Unmphmt in France is. re- ported to have declined since Sum- mer, but is nearly 10 per cent above a year ago. © ESTABLISHED 1865 o PRICE HEADLINES Don’t Tell E ing = Beware when merely price is featured as the attrac- tion; seldom are reductions made voluntarily; either & i the article is shop-worn or quality completely ignored, Only high-grade materials are worth their price! o COMPANY LUMBER and MILLWORK 649-651 N.
