ingIy assented but the switchmen alb
solutely declined.
s'The managers committee believes
public interests should not suffer be-
cause of the disagreement, where a
proper method to settle the differences
is offered through the decision Of a
dfsinterested third party under the
terms Of the federal law"
In behalf CT the switchmen, Presi-
dent HawIey said last night:
I'VE have had no further communi-
cation from the railroad officials. The
switchmen have been fair in their re
quests.
I'VE want an advance Of six cents
an hour in pay and the elimination of
the overtime Sunday work as far as
possible, and our request for double
pay for overtime is in the nature Of a
penalty more than anything else, as
we want to discourage overtime, Sun
day and holiday work"
We also ask for modification of
the physical requirements and age
Limit rules. Examinations for en-
ployment on railroads now are as
rigid as those required for service in
the army.
q have never seen the time when
men were so thoroughly organized
and ready for concerted action as
now This strike will result in thu
most complete tie-up in railroad traffic
in the territory effected ever known.
From now on not a switch engine will
move in the territory between the
nead Of the lakes and the Pacific
C08sU.
'The switchmen greatly regret the
action hey are forced 10 take. We
dlG not wish to strike and used every
reasonable means to avoid one. am
positive that If we had to deal only
with the officials of the Northwestern
railroads, instead Of a general com
mtttee, we would have reached an
amicabIe agreement. We realize the
Inconvenience the strike will cause
the pubic, but the responsibility does
not lie with the switchmen. They
only asked that which is justly
theirs"
After The strike was inaugurated,
HawIey issued the following:
I'VE have advised every member
that he must keep away from the
companys property, obey the Jaw,
commit no violence nor do anything
that will reflect discreditabIy upon

terday when it became known what
position James S. Bradley, Jr., OF To

It is believed that the general plan
is for the Bell interests to enter the
long-distance telephone and telegraph
business exclusively and to leave the
local fields to Independents. This
would divide the telephone business
into two important branches, each
clearly defined.
At a meeting Of Independent tele-
phone men at Columbus Mr.. Bradley is
quoted as having made a proposition
thus to divide the business in Ohio.
Afterward he denied that this was the
plan. 1t is believed by the independ-
ents that Mr.. Bradley is acting under

briskly over the surface until the orig

How to Cure Hicoouehs.

There is a young woman who sur
fers great discomfort, sometimes sharp
pain, from an occasional attack of the
hiccoughs. She tried all the prescrib-
ed remedies, from deep breathing to
plums fresh and preserved, without
success. Nothing availed, the pain
often lasting an hour or more, until
she tried aromatic spirits of ammonia,
n teaspoonful diluted in little water.
The relief was instantaneous. All sub
se0uent attacks have been cured by
the same means. The trouble in acute
form is somewhat out of the ordinary,
but the annoyance it entails makes it
worth while TO pass this hint along.
