WOULD RAISE ENGINEERS PAY
Operating Employees Start Movement
in Chicago Next Week

BY Associated Press
CHICAGO Sept. 20-A movement in
the direction of higher wages. greater
in scope than any demand previously
made by the operating employees of the
railroa ds will be inaug urated in Chi
cago next week by the Brotherhood OF
LOGON motive Engineers.
The engineers aim to embrace every
western road in the projected move
ment and to present demands Jointly
and simultaneously. Heretofore the
engineers on each syS TEN have been
content to act separately.
A plan is also in con temptation, and
is said to have received the quasi in
dorserll ent of at least two Of the great
brotherhoods, TO take stand in which
every operating employee in the railway
business in the west shall be repre-
sented in a request for higher wages.
The movement of the engin eers, it
was announced, will be pushed regard
less of the attitude of other brother
hoods. although their co-operati ton is
desired.
Information concerning the en- gineers'
project leaked out accidentally 1t be-
came known that secret call had been
issued for the Chicago meeting and that
extraordinary precautions had been
taken to keep knowledge of the scheme
from the railroads.
The call was issued by the grand
officers of the engineers brotherhood
from the Cleveland headquarters. It
stipulates ther the chairmen of the
adjustment boards of the various rail-
roads shall convene next week for the
purpose of formulating a joint wage
scale, which is to be put into effect on
all systems operated west of line
drawn from Chicago through to New
Orleans.
From local reports of the engineers
broth erhood it was ascertained that the
joint wage m ovement arises from a de-
sire to equalize the pay of the locomo-
tive men on all railroads.

EASTERN LINES ARE WORRIED
Passenger Traffic Officials Anxious
Because of Chaotic Condition

Because OF Chaotic CondItlon
Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, Sept. 20.-Passenger traf-
fic officials are anxious because of the
chaotic condition of the passenger rate
stua tion in central passenger and east
ern trunk line territory. which has re-
suited from the action of the Pennsyl-
vania and Erie railroads in issuing
1000 mile good for bearer" mileage
books for $40 and the reduction of one
way local fares to 2h cents.
Several roads have suspended work
on their new tariffs pending the out
come of the rate cutting now in
progress.
The latest development is a supple
mental notice sent out by the Erie
stating the willingness of that road to
postpone the application of the 21s cent
rate on interstate business until jan
uary /, but the traffic officers of other
roads are at a loss to underS tand how
these rates can be applied to local busi-
ness without affecting interst ate rates.
The issuance of an unrestricted 1000
mile book for $40 places inters tate fares
practically on 2-cent basis, and some
believe that a special conference of
eastern roads will - called in the en-
deavor to adjust the inequalities of ex-
stIng conditions.

Tie diary of the apostle to the In

tan forefathers had the good fortune
to lave an extremely mild winter IN
1646-41. The diary says: This winter
vas one of the mildest that we ever
had; no snow all winter long, nor
sharp weather, but they had long floods
at Connecticut which was much spoyle
to ye corne in the meadows. We never
had bad day to goe preach to the In
dams (at Newton or Natick) all this
winter, praised by the Lord" During
the season of 1917 the diary continues:
"a great sickness epidemical did the
Lord lay upon us, that the greatest
part Of the town was sick at once.
Few died, but of these were the choyc-
est flowers and most gracious saints"
During the summer of 1862 Apostle

Indigestion Makes Life Miserable
 How to Cure lit.
 There is no need of telling a person with stomach trouble that indigestion makes life miserable. The burning and gnawing feeling in the stomach the sick and nervous headaches, the sleep Iessness, general debility, aching back, specks before the eyes. and the ner- vousness, irritability and despondency that come from indigestion make life a torment.
 Happily physicians prescription for stomach troubles called Mi-o-na stom- ach tablets. is now for sale by the Larson Drug Co. who recommend it as an absolute and complete cure for in digestion and all stomach ills. Mi-o-na is not a temporary relief or a mere digestive. Take one of the little tab lets before meals for a few days and the digestive organs will be so toned and strengthened that you will be able to eat anything intended for food with out fear of indigestion and distress.
 Mi-o-na is so universally successful in curing all forms of stomach weak nesses that the Larson Drug Co. give a signed guarantee with each soc box, that your money will be refunded un- less the remedy gives you satisfaction. This. certainly shows their strong faith in the medicine. Many of their GUS toners have used it with the greatest success and praise it highly as the only cure they have ever found for stomach troubles.

 OUT OF THE GAME-Justice Bur nett announced yesterday that he is go- ing out of politics. That is, he will not be a candidate for reelection to his present or any other office at the com ing election.

This clarifies the situation; in fact, makes 1t most too clear to suit the democrats. who will be rather hard put to it to find candi- dates for the offices of justice The leaders of the party had been trying to force Justice Burnett to accept the nomination for probate judge, and lat terly to force him into the nomination for the legislative council. He will re- main in Phoenix and will go into busi- ness, the nature of which has not yet been divulged, but it is understood that it will involve the practice of his pro- fession. In the course of his late visit to the coast he had a fiattering offer to take up his residence in Los Angeles, but his faith in Phoenix will keep him here
