There From All Sections Of
The State
Atlanta. — Reduction iii wages of
emloves of the Atlanta, Birmingham
& Atlantic railroad, which, last week
was placed in the hands of a receiver,
were ordered by Judge Samuel H.
Sibley of the Upited States court for
the northern district of Georgia, in an
order handed down. The order was
issued in response to a petition filed
by Colonel B. L. Bugg, receiver for
the road, and concurred In by the Bir¬
mingham Trust and Savings company,
of Birmingham, Ala., the creditor on
whose petition the receivership was
declared.
Wages and salaries are .reduced ap¬
proximately 25 per cent, although the
court order fixes the basis at the scale
in effect on December 31, 1917, plus
! on-half the increases granted since
that date. Thus half the increases
; received by all the employes since
; December 31, 1917, are cut off under
the terms of Judge Sibley's order. The
wage cut is made effective on Tues
| day, March 1.
j In granting the order, Judge Sibley
I indicated his willingness to grant a
hearing to the employes should they
desire to make a showing in court and
j to their contentions in the matter.
Such a hearing will be set if a peti
| tion is filed by the employes or their
| representatives. The
wage reduction granted by the
| I court is exactly that sought before by the
A. B. & A. in its showing the
! federal railroad labor board and an
| nounced by the officials of the system
| | tive in December, February 1920, to become This original effec-
1, 1921.
| wage cut order was held up by the
railroad labor board, however, and at
j the recent hearing in Chicago the
boad declared that it had no jurisdic
| tion in the case in its present status.

TU H. JOHNSON, of Portland,
• Ore., who says no one could
have done him any greater kind¬
ness than the friend who advised
him to try Tanlao. — Gains fifteen
pounds.
“Not in a long time have I enjoyed
such good health or felt so well gen¬
erally as 1 do since taking Tanlac,”
said W. H. Johnson, 31!) East 43rd
St., Portland, Ore., who holds a re¬
sponsible position with the Northwest
Transfer Company.
“About a year ago I began suffer¬
ing from lack of appetite and stomach
trouble and since that time—that is,
until Tanlac set me right—1 have felt
so poorly that 1 could hardly do my
work. My food seemed to do me little
good, if any, as my digestion was bad,
and I lost both weight and strength
continually.
“After every monl there was a dull,
nagging pain in the pit of my stomach
that kept me feeling miserable for
hours.
“The gas from my sour, undigested
food would bloat me up terribly and
my nerves were so upset that X would
lie awake half the night unable to
sleep. 1 was constantly having blind¬
ing dizzy spells and could not bend
over and straighten up quickly but
what everything seemed as dark ns
night to me.
“I was telling a friend one day how
bad I felt and he advised me to try
Tanlac and I just want to say he
couldn’t have done me a greater kind¬
ness.
“I have picked up all of fifteen
pounds in weight, my appetite is fine,
and although I am eating just any
. thing I want my stomach never gives
me a particle of trouble. My sleep
Is sound and restful and my strength
and energy have been so renewed that
my work Is no longer a burden to me.”
