ROCK ISLAND SUED
Lafayett. Miller, Of Rochelle, Illinois.
Want. 1890 Damages for Being
Evicted From Train at Bows -
Claims Hs Had Ticket.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa Falls, Feb. 19.-~Eviction from
a train on the Rock Island at Dows q
few weeks ago, has resulted in q damn
age suit for 1890. Lafayette Miller,
Of Rochelle, ILL.,. Is the plaintiff and
recites in his petition that he was
forcibly evicted from a Rock Island
passenger train while he had in his
possession a ticket. He was return
ing home on homeseeker's ticket and
presented the ticket at Clarion for Sig
nature. The agent there refused to
countersign the ticket on the grounds
that Miller failed to identify himself as
the original purchaser Of the ticket,
and because the signature Of Miller
did not correspond with that originally
signed on the ticket. Miller boarded
the next train, however, and the con-
ductor refused to honor the transpor-
tation because the agent at Clarion had
failed to countersign 1t. At Dows he
had the city marshal remove Miller
from the train. Miller returned to
Clarion, consulted legal authority and
the suit for damages is the result. The
case will probably come up for trial
at this term of court

which are discussing the feasibility of
adopting some sort of such cure. The
cure used here is inexpensive and

When Warren Farley we'll known
young man, displayed symptoms of a
returning appetite for liquor, he was
promptly led to the town pump and
made to drink four trimming glasses
OF water. With that quantity of liquid
inside OF him he had no further crav-
ing for booze and went home sober and
satisfied. with the cravings of the
liquor appetite completely appeased.
Mr.. Farley, after swallowing the last
OF the fourth cup. was SO full Of water
that he could hardly force the last few
drops down his throat. He admitted
that he had had drink enough to last
him for several days. II he had been
permitted to commune with the amber
fluid that first exhilarates and then in
toxicates. Farley would have been rem
dered hors de combat.
The same cure will be applied to
other habituai drunkards who spend
much of their time in Jail. il they can
be apprehended by the police before
they have taken too much booze. There
are number of young men and older

Cedar Rapids, Feb. 1.-THE case enc
titled T. NJ. Sinclair & Co., Ltd, VS..
National Surety company. which has
just been settled in the district court
within the past few days, has attracted
considerable attention. Several years
ago the Sinclair company had an agent
in Alaska looking after their meat
business in that country. He was bond
ed with the National Surety company
for the faithful performance OF his
duties. He absconded, falling to ac-
count for a large sum Of money. The
National Surety company refused to
make good the loss and the Sinclair
company brought suit in district court
securing judgment in 1904 for $6,-
$500, and costs. The National Surety
company carried the case to the SUI
preme court, and secured a reversal,
the case coming back for retrial.

way Switchmen,

way Switchmen.
The organizations of railway EN-.
ployees are among the most successful
of the trades unions of the country.
While much remains for them to do,
they have been instrumental in greatly
improving the condition of men of their
calling. The extent of the Improvement
can be appreciated only by those who
know what We're the conditions sur
rounding railway employment twenty
five or thirty years ago.
One of the most successful of the
railway organizations is the Switch
mems Union Of North America Frank
I. Hawley, president of the union,
talks interestingly of its history and of
the progress it has made in recent
years, with consequent Improvement
in the condition of it's members

than twenty-seven years." he said,
land in that time | have switched in
every state in the Union In my early
working days the highest pay for
switchmen in the Pittsburg district, as
an example. was $190 for a twelve
hour day. In 1890 the Switch1nen's Aid
association made a movement which
resulted in the greatest advance in
wages ever conceded to any body Of
railroad workers at one time before or
since The increase secured amounted
to SO 1-3 per cent. Previous to that
time switchmen were required to sand
up and coal up the engines. Now they
are relieved of those tasks
1.-THE rate of compensation for
switchmen now ranges from 80 to sc
cents an hour, but | believe that before
the snow flies in 1908 they will be re-
ceiving from 40 to 90 cents an hour,
with an eight hour day.
''The dangers of the switchman's pO-
sition are not thoroughly understood.
1t is fact that fully 65 per cent of the
accidents that happen to railway en-
ployees on duty fall upon the switch
men, mostly because of the defects in
the so called safety devices. The only
hope Of improving this condition lies
in the power of membership in fight
ing organization. The railroad corpora
tons in considering demands made by
their employees always consider the
ability of the latter to enforce their de-
mands by strike"
