Price Made by Firm Arousss Suspi-

Milwaukee, Dec. 1.-THE federal in
vestigation of the oleomargarine
frauds, which, it is alleged, extend
from the Pacific coast east to Wiscon-
sin, will take formal shape in MiIwau-
kee tomorrow when the two alleged
leaders in the operations, J. HI. Davis
and Edward Klimes, will be arraigned
before Federal Court Commissioner
John F. Harper in this city.
The government attorneys are silent
as to the extent OF the evidence against
these two men, but it is understood
that the government has sufficient
evidence to warrant extensive prose-
cution.

The men, 1t is alleged, made James,
vile, wis, the center of their opera

months and selling thousands of
pounds OF the butterine. Not until it
was noticed by rival butter dealers
that the butter sold by these men was
being sold as Elgin dairy butter, but
at considerably lower prices, was stls-
picion aroused. This suspicion was
followed by the purchase OF some OF
the supposed creamery butter, and q
request that the state dairy and food

THE sWITcHMEN's STRIKE

The northwest Is experiencing more
labor trouble. This time it is the rail-
way switehmen who are out. The
strike affects the entire northwest and
should it be OF long duration serious
consequences may result, One of the
worst phases Of the situation is it's eff
feet on the fuel supply of North Da-
kota. There is about the usual amount
of coal in the state-but no town in
the state has it's full winters supply
OF fuel and long drawn out strike
might cause some inconvenience.
Another phase of the labor trouble
Is the fact that not all holiday ship
ments have been sent out. There may
be some abbreviated Christmas doings
and a lack of supplies of things dear
to the hearts of the little folks. Lo-
cally the supply of fuel is quite ade-
ticaIly ell of their holiday shipments.
The switchmen want an increase Of
cents an hour and double pay
for overtime and Sundays. The de-
mands were all regarded as excessive
by the railways, though IL is under
stood the greatest difficulty arose over
the increased pay demanded for Sun
day work.
For the switchmen the time Of the
strike has been well selected. The
rest demands for holiday goods and
fuel win have q tendency to force the
railroads to make all the concessions
they possibly can--and to this extent
It will prove helpful for the strikers.
For the railways and the general
public however. the strike is most III
timed. Except possibly during the
rush Of the wheat season, it could not
lave occurred more inopportunely for
ne residents OF the state.

Ing. IL we were as careful to keep the

OF all the so-caIled minor Ills of the

common cold" The cough irritates the
mucous membrane OF the throat, lungs

germs Of dread tuberculosis which infect
the air we breathe.
A simple, inexpensive cough medicine
can be made by mixing two ounces Of ely

Whisky. Shake well. and take a tea

FULL CREW LAW is TO BE DIS
REGARDED

The Oregon Short Line railroad,
through its general manager, W. H.
Bancroft, has notified the Nevada rail-
road commission that the full crew
law" of Nevada, will be no longer
observed. In letter to the commits
sioner, Mr.. Bancroft says:
when this matter was under con
sideration. the commission. as you
state. that it was our disposition to
comply with the law for the time be-
ing and. ascertain its practical opera
ton, reserving the right to test its
validity il found inconsistent with the
company's interest.
we have made q fair test of this
law and find that 1t hampers opera
tion. adds largely to the expense. and
Is OF doubtful utility from any point
of view. In view of this experience,
and in view of the further fact that the
legal department. both here and in
San Francisco, have expressed the
opinion that the law is invalid, we
have concluded TO disregard it until
that question is finally authoritativeJy
determined.
This action. | assure you, is without
any Indifference or disregard of a COM
pliance OF that law. or the laws gen
orally. affecting the railroad company
but if the law Is not a valid one, and
operates to our entire disadvantage
and constitutes a burden and hamper
upon us. there surely can be no i'm
propriety in disregardlng 1t for the
purpose of testing Its validity. 1t Is
in view of the conditions above stat
ed. and with this feeling. that the ac-
ton now being pursued by the com
Dany has been adopted.
Il trust that our attitude will not
be considered by you as one OF hostili-
ty In any sense, and whatever act
ion YOU may conclude 1t is your duty
TO take under the law will certainly
be accepted by us in the most friendly
