The Increase Will Amount
to Nearly Thirty Mil
lions Annually.
OFFICIALS WILLING TO GIVE TEN
PER CENT DEMANDED BUT
WILL NOT GIVE AN EIGHT
HOUR DAY-BELlEVED THAT
TRAINMEN WILL YIELD.
JUDGE L. J. REEVES.
ev Associated Press.

Chicago, Dec. 5.-The Tribune to-
day says:
The railways of Chicago contem-
plate making increases in the wages
of their employees in the immediate
future which. in the aggregate, will
make all increases made on the rail-
roads of the country in the recent
past seem small by comparison. Ad-
vances are expected to be given be-
tween now and January l. which will
make the combined incomes of the
$50 900 employees of these lines from
S25 900 900 to $30,000,000 greater in
1907 than in 1906.
The only thing that prevents the
proposed advances between now and
the end of the year is inability of the
railroads and their trainmen to
reach an amicable agreement. The
engineers, conductors, firemen, brake
men and other trainmen have asked
both for 10 per cent advances and for
an eight-hour day.
Railroad officials indicate that they
are willing to give the 10 per cent
increase, but that they are not willing
to give an eight-hour day. and their
present disposition is to withhold the
wage advance until the eight-hour de
mand is withdrawn. They believe the
trainmen will yield after the ground
for the denial is explained to them In
conference, and then the wage ad-
vances will speedily follow. Railroad
operating officials say the reason for
declining to grant an eight-hour day
to trainmen is that It would either
make necessary wholesale changes In
the arrangements of their divisions or
| heavily increase their operating ex.
penses in other ways.

Every nerve is a live wire
connecting some part of the

so numerous that if you pene-

from a pressure, strain or in

pain. When the pain comes
from a large nerve it is called
