] W. STREETMAN
awarded AGENCY
FOR TAN LAC HERE
jyiayor M. W. Lincke of Nashville,
N. C. Writes Strong Letter
to E. H. Drum.
Since the introduction of Tanlac
jo Marion recently at the store of
W. Streetman, many men and
^omen of this town and immediate
vicinity have voluntarily expressed
tlieir conoplete satisfaction of re-
gults from the Master Medicine to
the local dealer.
The agency for Tanlac is award-
ed to but one—the leading—dealer
in each town. In line with this
policy E. H. Drum, North Caro
lina Distributor of Tanlac, care
fully considered the local field be
fore placing the agency with J.
W. Streetman,
That readers of The Marion Pro
gress may learn more, of the work
of Tanlac among prominent men
and women of this state, accounts
of its work will appear from now
on in the columns of this publica
tion.
It is largely upon the word of
such well known North Carolinians
as Mayor M. W. Lincke, of Nash
ville, that Tanlac’s great success
has established itself. Some few
days ago the Honorable Mayor
Lincke wrote this letter to Mr.
Drum:
“After a fair trial of Tanlac I
have no hesitancy in pronouncing
it one of the very best tonics and
remedies on the market. It is all
you claim for it and has worked
such a wonderful change in my
physical condition within the past
few weeks as to warrant my de
parture from an established rule
and I heartily recommend it to
those suffering with indigestion,
nervousness and a general run
down condition. I unhesitatingly
pronounce Tanlac one of the very
best remedies offered the public
and will convince the most skepti
cal of its true worth.
Yours very sincerely,
(Signed) M. W. LINCKE.
Tanlac is sold exclusively in Ma
rion by J. W. Streetman.

Federal Iriquiry or
Railroad Strike?
Faced by demands from the conductors, engineers, firemen and brakemeii
that would impose on the country' an additional burden in transportation costs of
$100,000,000 a year, the railroads propose that this wage problem be settled
rtfercnce to an impartial Federal tribunal.
With these employes, whose efficient service is acknowledged, the railroad*
have no differences that could not be considered fairly and decided justly by lucb
a public body.
Railroads Urge Public Inquiry and Arbitration
The formal proposal of the railroads to the employes for the settlement of
the controversy is as follows:
“Our conferences have demonstrated that we cannot harmonize our differences of opinion and that eventually tfw ^
matters in controversy must be passed upon by other and disinterested agencies. Therefore, we propose that your *
proposals and the proposition of the railways be disposed of by one or tne other of the following methods:
1. Preferably by subn^ssion to the Interstate Commerce Commission, the only tribunal which, by reason of its
accumulated information bearing on railway conditions and its control of the revenue of the railways, it in a posi*
tion to consider and protect the rights and equities of all the^interests affected, and to provide additional revenue
necessary to meet the added cost of operation in case your proposals are found by the Commission to l>e just and
reasonable; or,\in the event the Interstate Commerce Commission cannot, under existing laws, act in the premises,
that we jointly request Congress to take such action as may be necessary to enable the Commission to consider ana |
promptly dispose of the questions involved; pr '
I. By arbitration in accordance with the provisions of the Federal law” (The Newlands Act).
Leaders Refuse Offer and Take Strike Vote
Leaders of the train service brotherhoods, at the joint conference held in New
York, June 1-15, refused the offer of the railroads to submit the issue to arbitratioii
or Federal review, and the employes are now voting on the question whether
authority shall be given these leaders to declare a nation-wide strike.
The Interstate Commerce Commission is proposed by the railroads at the
public body to which this issue ought to be referred for these reasons:
No other body with such an intimate know’'.*dge
of railroad conditions has such an unquestioned posi*
tion in the public confidence.
The rates the railroads may charge the public for
transportation are now largely fixed by this Govern
ment board.
Out of every dollar received by the railroads from
the public nearly one>half is paid directly to the em
ployes as ^ages; and the money to pay increased waget
can come from no other source than the rates paid
by the public.
The Interstate Commerce Commission, with its con
trol over rates, is in a position to make a compl«;tt
investigation and render such decision as would pro
tect the interests of the railroad employes, the owners
of the railroads, and the public.
Seagle Block,
Main Street
lO
A Question For the Public to Decide
The railroads feel that they have no right to grant a wage preferment of
$100,000,000 a year to these employes, now highly paid and constituting only
one-fifth of all the employes, without a clear mandate from a public tribunal that
shall determine the merits of the case after a review of all the facts.
The single issue before the country is whether this controversy is to be settled by am
impartial Government inquiry or by industrial warfare.
