In one district alone in South Wales,
400 non-unionist workmen have applied

and throughout Wales the army of un-

to the reduction of the work in every

H01D to Make
Better Cough Syrup than
You Can Buy
A Family Supply, Saving 81 and
Fully Guaranteed.

A full pint of cough syrup--as much
as YOU q uld buy for $2.50-can easily
be made at home. You will find nothing
that takes hold of an obstinate cough
more quickly, usually ending it inside of
"a hours. Excellent, too. for Group,
whooping cough, sore lungs, asthma,
hoarseness and other throat troubles.
Mix one pint of granulated sugar with
IL pint of warm water, and stir for
minutes. Put 21a ounces of Pinex fifty
cents worthl III pint bottle, then add
the Sugar Syrup. 1t keeps perfectly.
Take a teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
This is Just laxative enough to help
cure a cough. Also stimulates the appe-
tite, which is usually upset by cough.
The taste is pleasant.
The effect of pine and sugar syrup on
the infamed membranes is we'll known.
Pinex is the most valuable concentrated
compound of Norway white pine extract,
rich in guaiacol and all the natural
healing pine elements. Other prepara-

The Pinex and Sugar Syrup recipe is
now used by thousands of housewives
throughout the United States and Can

Hood & Sons Protest Against
D. H. H. R. R. Charges
FROM P0ULTNEY, VERMONT
Railroad, on Other Hand, Asserted New
Service Costs Extra-Hearing on the
Case Was Held in Boston
Yesterday.

Boston, March 26-Arthur b. Pugh
an examiner for the interstate commerce
commission. was in Boston yesterday
holding hearing on the complaint of
II r. Hood & Sons, the milk contractors
against the increased rate which the
Delaware & Hudson railroad published
and which was suspended by the com
mission pending an inquiry. This pro-
posed rate would increase the charge for
carrying milk in carload lots from 6l4
to cents can. or from about $4,000
10 about So. 500 for each car by the year
over the run from Poultney, Vt, to
Eagle Bridge, n. v, from which point
the Boston milk is brought over the
Boston & Maine.
The railroad had filed the new rate
with the commission in Washington and
it had been suspended under the protest
of the Hood concern, which held that
the charge was excessive. and that il did
not ask for the special service put into
effect bv the railroad. The Delaware e.
Hudson officials claimed that they had
given the special train service for Hood
alone and that as it cost them more
than formerly they should be paid more
for carving the milk. The Hood peo-
pie. however. set up further claim that
the railroad had been able to take Off
another train as a result of putting on
special for them

opened at 2 o'clock. after a recess of a
little more than one hour The first wit

of Albany. traffic manager of the Della
ware & Hudson railroad. He testified
that. pursuant to the commissioners in
ouirv. a tariff was filed to comply with
the order then issued. A year later an
amended tariff was fled The reason for
the new increase was that the service
cost the road more and that the rate to
Boston was too low compared with the
rate on other roads, and was lower than
his own roads rate to New York. Be
tween the time when the tariff was fled
in compliance with the commissions Or

car for the full haul for one year
This last was three years after the first
rate was granted There was an inquiry
and the rate was cut to 6h cents per
can. said Mr. Whipple, and he also de-
clared that instead of attaching Hood
ear to a passenger train and giving good
service, the road had changed and ran
the milk ear on freight train.
Mr.. Whipple contended that the inn
proved service referred TO By Mr.. Mullen
was in reality change which suited
the convenience of the Delaware & Hud-
son and was not sought by Hood, who
was well satisfied as things were before.
He contended that the read had men
and cars at Eagle Bridge which they
could use to advantage to haul the emp
ty milk cars up to Poultney, Vt, with
out much expense, as they would have
been idle otherwise. He claimed also
that the same road transported milk
over the same tracks at a much less
rate in order to get the longer haul to
New York
James A. McGrew, superintendent of
the Saratoga division of the Delaware
& Hudson, testified that the special serv-
ice consisted of two trains dor the milk
business only, one for empty cans and
one for those filed, instead of single cars
attached to regular trains as previous
TO October last, when the special service
was started.
John Z. Colket of Albany, milk agent
for the Delaware & Hudson, told of the
method of handling the Hood cars under
the system formerly in use. They were
taken by the northbound New York milk
train at Eagle Bridge, picked up full
rams and left empties on the way to
Poultney or Racevile, being dropped at
the former place in winter and the latter
place in summer, when the car had to
be iced. A returning New York milk
train then took on the Hood cars and
took them to Eagle Bridge without stop.
