The senator said the treaties did not
make IL obligatory upon the president

Chicago, Sept ~. -Shopmen on the

morrow morning. according to final
statement by j. w. Kline, president

man railroad. including the Illinois
Central. to strike at 10 o'clock tonnor-
row morning. are ready for trans
mission today to the various division
points. there will be no strike according
to the OFFICIALS OF the railroads con-
cerned.
The belief of the railroad managers
that the men would not strike Ii based
on the fact that thousands or railway
men are already idle 90 result of
retrenchment by the Hartman rail-
roads and that the demands OF the
men 40 not call for an increase of
wages.
The strike Ia threatened because the
railroads yesterday for d third time
fatty refused to recognize the fedora
ton OF shop employees In the manner
that they now deal with the individual
unions comprised In the federation.

CAIRRRH CANNOT Be CuAEl

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inflamed condition
Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing. and when il is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its
normal coalition. hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inlamcd
