FLATLY REFUSED

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
NEW York., May 1.-The manag-
ers of the fifty-two eastern railroads
today fatty refused to grant the de-
mands for increased wages and mod
erations in working conditions made
by the conductors and trainmen en-
ployed on the lines In letter to
representatives of the trainmen, the
managers declare:
"The wages and working condi-
tions which you request would In
crease the pay of the 100000 conduc-
tors and trainmen for service now rem
dered by approximately $17,O0O,000,
or twenty percent per annum. lie
Increase would be equivalent to plac-
Ing on these properties a lien of $425,-
100000 of four percent securities
which would have preference over
first mortgage bonds"
1t is expected that further negotia
tions between the representatives OF
| the employees and managers will be
arranged.
fusing the increase in wages sets
4 forth many of the same reasons ad
vanced to the firemen during theil
recent wage dispute. In part it says:
I eff the railroads are forced to pay
/ extravagant wages to men in trair
service, the burden must fall on the
public. for it is only from the fifty
million people directly dependent or
these railroads for transportation ia

cilities that the roads can secure

cilities that the roads can secure
revenue.
You will readily see, therefore,
why, in considering your demands,
we hold the public interest para
mount.
I'm making demands for extrava-
CANT wages-wages entirely out Of ac-
cord with the railroads obligations
as whole-the railway employees APP
parently act on the assumption that a
strike that would tie up traffic would
never be permitted by the public.
They seem to think that If strike
is to be avoided, the railroads must
give way, believing that arbitration
must take place and that in the end
the splitting of differences between
what they demand and the wages
they receive will result in their favor
In other words the employees have ev.
erything to gain and nothing to lose
The letter then calls attention to
the increasing expenses of opera
lions" through ''ill-advised leg1sla
ton" as was done In the case Of the
firemen, and declares that the request
of the conductors and trainmen must
be declined in the interests OF the
public as whole"

BEST TRAINING
FOR PUBLIC LIFE
Woman Must Prove a Successful
Housekeeper Before She is Fit
to Hold an office.

COLORADO CITY, Colo, May L.
Cooking, dishwashing, busting and
other household duties are the very
best training possible for pubic life.
Without practice In these arts, no
woman need expect to succeed as a
pubic official" This revolutionary
doctrine was expounded by Mrs. May
Ammorman, who today took the oath
OF office OF commissioner of records
and seals, and police magistrate. AT
the recent election Mrs. Ammorman
also was elected city clerk. but be-
lieying she had enough work in the
two positions the clerkship was trans
ferred to the municipal department.
Z woman who has not succeeded
In being good housekeeper is not fit
to hold public office" declared Mrs.
Ammorman today. The housewife
and mother are the generals in the
home. II they are a success there,
there Is no reason why they should
not be successes in public life
AS police magistrate. Mrs. Am
norman will be required to deal with
petty offenders and Juvenile offend
ers. She has little sympathy with
methods of leniency in the majority
of cases. She is firm believer in
the doctrine that sparing the rod
SPOTS the child. She says If her own
son comes before her in the role of a
juvenile offender against the law, she
will deal with him exactly as she
would with any other bad boy" She
thinks that there would be fewer VIC
lators of the law If pas old slipper
had been used less sparingly in the
early days" AS can be seen from
her views, Mrs. Ammorman is a
thoroughly practical woman
Il don't know such a terrible lot
about the law" she naively stated to-
day, "but, | can read the ordinances
lintelligently and the people Of Colo
RADIO City can rest assured that | can
interpret them we'll and shall impose
the proper penalties OF course
shall always take into consideration
the cause and effect of misdemeanors
in inflicting penalties. When those
who framed the amendment providing
that the commissioner Of records
should also discharge the duties OF
police magistrate, they had no idea
that these duties ever would fall to
Il the lot Of woman. Either 1t was
that way or they figured II woman
was elected she would resign in the
face of such multiple duties. Well
they are going to learn differently.

term and | feel confident that shall

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

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. Deaf
ness is caused by an inhamed
condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube, When
this tube is inhamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflamstion can
be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nj re cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but
