OPPOSED TO ONE "REGULAToR"
Does Not Believe in Legislative Dicta-
ton as to Passenger Rates.


The association placed itself on rec
ord. by the adoption of report sub
mitted by the co-nittee on interstate
commerce as opposing any compulsory
reduction in the rates for transporta-
ton of passengers by railroads. The
committee in its report expressed the
opinion that any such reduction would
be accompanied by an increase IN
freight rates.
I'VE see in the movement an indi-
rect attack on the public interest"
says the report 1T is not proved that
the railroads could afford to make
general reduction of the kind, uncom-
pensated by higher freight charges or
increased income from some other
source or cutting down the service. 1t
is alleged that some of them would
be thrown into bankruptcy thereby,
point difficult to test for any one
but an experienced accountant, and
for that very reason unSuited for ar

Steamer with Eighty Persons on
Board Burns, but All Are
Saved Except Five.
FOUR OF THEM DIE HORRIBLY
Other Dead Is a Passenger, Fatally
Roasted in His Berth-Other
Vessels Near - Crew Is
Heroic.

Grand Haven, Mich. May 22.-Five
lives were lost and about seventy-fve
people had a perilously close escape
from death when the passenger and
freight steamer Naomi, Of the Crosby
Transportation company, burned in
the middle Of Lake Michigan while on
her regular night trip from this port
TO Milwaukee. Four Of the victims
were coal passers penned down in the
forecastIe by the flames. where many
of the rescued passengers from the
decks Of the freighter Kerr and the
steamer Kansas saw them at the port
holes vainly imploring for help.
Fatally Burned in His Berth.
j. NJ Rhoades, Of Detroit a passen-
ger, was the fifth victim. He was
terribly burned in his berth, and died
soon after reaching a hospital at
Grand Rapids, Mich. The steamer was
burned to the waters edge, and has
been towed into this harbor, where she
lies at her dock a smoldering hulk.
The fire broke out about 1880 a. m.
between decks in the forward end or
the steamer. 1t spread with tremen-
dous rapidity, and it was apparent al
most from the first that it was vain
for the crew to fight the flames.

States the Dominant Issues.

The plan was announced at the con-
clusion of the presidents address, in
the course of which he declared it to
be the principle Of the association to
maintain the open shop and to oppose
the boycott, limitation of apprentices,
limitation of output and dictation by
labor unions He also declared that
the manufacturers must combat the
newer issues caused by the alleged de-
termination of union leaders to terror
ize the president, congress, judges and
juries.
League of Employers Imperative.
Members of the association, employ
ers of nearly 100000 workers, were
warned by President Van Cleave that
new labor perils have arisen in the
last year and that these threaten to
take more dangerous form in the COM
ing months. He said that the creation
of great league of employers was
| imperative. and added: One mani
! festation of peril has been the assault
upon President Roosevelt in the Moy-
er-Haywood affair by men who have
| arrogated to themselves to right to
speak for labor, although of the 10000

Chicago. May 22.-An apparent conn
bination among the western railroads
to fight competition of electric roads
by refusing to enter into traffic rela-
tons with them has been disclosed be-
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion here. officials OF the Chicago and
Milwaukee Electric road testified that
the Monon, Wabash, Rock Island aud
Illinois Central railroads had refused
to join the electric line In through
freight tariffs unless the western
trunk line committee would sanction
such action.
The railroad officials in their testl-
mony declared that the electric line
was not equipped to handle freight,
and that they would not join In through
rates with any line which was not in
position to give cars as well as take
them. This case was brought as a
test, and If the commission decides
that the railroads must join this cleo
tric road in through tariffs hundreds OF

Letter to J. II. Boston,
Marietta.Ga.

r. Dear Sir: II we sell Devoe to paint
your Town, your road won't have so
much freight to handle.
1t takes 10 gallons to paint fair-si2e
house, AID that house won't want
painting again for or 10 years. That's
true in way but people, you know,
rather like fresh paint, and they paint
for nothing but looks some times.
That house would take IL or Is gal
Ions of almost any other paint than
Devoe, and would have to be painted
again in half that time. Ten years is a
very long time for paint to wear and
five isn't short.
Which makes the most freight, a 10
or 20-gallon paint? or 10-year paint?
But the 10-gallon paint is the 10-year
paint; and the 20-gallon paint is the s.
year paint. Which makes the most
freight?
Ask your paint dealer which he'd
rather sell, and wwch he could sell
most of Ask your painter which he'd
rather paint; whether good or bad
paint is good for his business; which is
good paint, the 10 or 15-gallon paint
which pays most freight, and which
pays most wages. Which will you buy
yourself, the 10-gallon l0-year, or 20
gallon 5-year, paint? Yours truly,

BCatarrh Growing Less.
Due to the Use of Hyomei. Cures
Without Stomach Dosing.

There has been a marked falling off
OF sales of catarrh cures in the local
stores the past year Medicines which
were formerly purchased In gross lots
are now seldom called for, and the
druggist rarely buys more than dozen
at time.
@Hyomei is a notable exception to this
decrease in sales. 1t is, in fact, largely
responsible for the lessened sales of Ca
tarrh medicines, as it has cured so
many people of catarrhal troubles that
naturally there is less call for RENE
dies for that disease.
There is no disagreeable stomach
dosing with Hyomei. 1t is breathed
through a neat pocket inhaler that
comes with every Hyomei outfit. G.
M. Crosby & Co. give their personal
guarantee that the money will be re-
funded unless the treatment cures, so
that you run no risk at all buying this
reliable remedy.
