NEW WORKERS DISCONNECTED
Railroad and Tueboat Employees Are
Out on Strike

by Associated EIeSS'
NEW YORK, Aug 9.-An attempt
made late today to adjust the differ
ences between six railroad companies
having terminals in this city and the
crews of the railroad tugboats oper-
ating in New York harbor ended in a
failure.
The representatives of the Central
railroad of New Jersey, the Baltimore
& Ohio, the New York Central and the
Lehigh Valley railroad, which We're
most seriously affected by the strike,
declined to accede to the demands of
the striking crews for an increase in
wages of S5 to $40 a month and de-
clared that they would fill the places
of the strikers with new men.
The movement of freight of the
roads named from their terminals in
New Jersey and Staten Island to New
York city was badly crippled. and
many carloads of freight were stalled
in the yards on the west bank of the
Hudson river.
It. is feared that if the strike con-
tinues there will be a heavy loss to
shippers of fruits and vegeta bles and
other perishable freights and much III
convenience to New Workers..
The Pennsylvania & New York and
New Haven & Hartford railroads are
not affected.

SEND FRUIT BY EXPRESS
WelIs-Fargo Service for Carrying Pro-
duce Is Developing


The Wells, Fargo & Co. express or
ganized and has developed an express
refrigerator service for carrying fruit
and produce long distances, and now
has about 10 especially built cars in
the service.
The cars are probably equal, if not
superior, to the best refrigerator cars
that have been built, and they have an
exterior finish in keeping with their
mission as cars to be hauled by pas
senger trains.
Their operation has been chiefly con-
fined to the southwest largely to
Texas, and they have been used quite
extensively in carrying Rocky Ford
melons from Colorado, and have fig
ured extensively in the carriage of
fruit and celery from California points
to the east. Unlike other express cars,
these cars are owned by the express
company.
Rates are made on carload basis
and are somewhere between the rates
charged by private car lines and the
express rates applied to traffic that is
collected and delivered.
The concession from the regular ex-
press rates is made possible by the
fact that no messengers accompany
the cars and that shipments must be
removed from the car by consignee, as
in the case of freight.
The company, of course, is under the
necessity of icing the car en- route.
Contracts for ice are made with ice
companies located at convenient points,
as in the case of private car lines.
In spite of the fact that the rates
are much higher than those charged
by private car lines for regular re-
frigerator car service, shippers in many
localities in the southwest have found
it advantageous to pay these rates to
secure the benefits of express service.

With a baby in her arms, the poor

a Johnson in the tanks, and he was
brought out for the woman's inspec-

they believe he has deserted her and
gone to San Francisco.

DISPENSING WITH JAPANESE
Pacific Electric Officials Find Them
Too Arroqant

Owing to the arrogance of the little
brown men the Pacific Electric officials
have almost abandoned the use of Jap

officials of the road say the Japs
come to this country by shiploads 10
work in the orchards, and when the
fruit season is over apply to the rail-
roads for a job. As soon as they mas

war.
Only fifty japanese are said to be on

Keep
Your Nerve

1t is nerve energy that runs
the organs of your body. The
storage battery is the nerve
cells in the brain and spinal
cord, and from this battery
nerve force is sent out through
the system of nerves. To keep
the body healthy you must
have plenty of nerve force; if
you have not, the organs work
imperfectly, the circulation is
sluggish, digestion bad, appe-
tite poor, kidneys inactive, and
aches, pains and misery are
the penalty.
You can keep the system
strong with DR.. Miles Nervine.
It assists in generating nerve
energy; it strengthens the
nerves and makes the whole
system strong and vigorous.
~ take pleasure in recommending
DR.. Miles Nervine to those suffering
from nervous prostration. insomnia
and melancholy. After several
months suffering from above diseaseS
] tried this medicine and found imme-
date relief. 1t soothes and strength
ems the nerves chases away the
gloomy and depressing thoughts and
gives the sufferer renewed strength
and hope. 1t is superb nerve re-

Timber for Wine Casks

THE growing scarcity Of timber suitable
fer the manufacture Of slaves is a problem
that confronts two continents and in which
all the wine drinking world, and therefore
the civilized world is concerned said l. B.
Goldman, a stave grower and shipper OF
Hope, Ark.
Timber best suited for manufacture into
slaves comes from Arkansas and small por-
lions Of Louisiana, Texas, Alabama and
Tennessee The timber has been cut in
large amounts every years TO meet the
growing demand. Prices have advanced, OF
course, but the demand still advances, for
no other wood can take the place of that
produced IN our section.
Most Of the slaves are shipped to Bar
celona. Spain, where they are used in the
manufacture of wine casks. Both Euro
peans and Americans have tried to invent
something TO take the place Of the stave
but so far without success Glass and
earthen casks have been tried, but wine
does not age the same in these receptacles
and It has quite a different havor."-Wash-
