BRIEFS FILED MONDAY IN THE
WESTERN WAGE ARBITRATION

Chicago. March 29.-Briefs in the
Western railroad wage case were filed
with the Board Of Arbitration today
by James NJ. Sheean. attorney for the
railroads. and by William S. Carter.
president of the Brotherhood OF Lo-
connective Firemen and Enginemen. Oral
argument was begun and was expect
ed to last two, and possibly three days.
! Decision by the board on the demands
of the men for higher wages and other
concessions will be made on or be-
| fore April 90. and will affect $1,000
engineers, firemen and hostlers en-
ployed by ninety-eight western rail-
roads operating 100000 miles of track.
| Mr.. Sheean's brief asserted that the
men failed utterly to establish their
contention that their labors and re-
sponsibilities and their productive eff
! ficiency have increased since their
wages were adjusted by arbitration in
( 1910, nor, said the brief. had they made
/ good their claim that their earnings,
despite a higher, rate, had been de-
creased in this period. Their copten-
lions Mr.. Sheean said had not been
proven by their own exhibits, and had
| pSSH uiSp1ONc GU ny dCludl feCOICS QuOL-
ed in the railroad exhibits.
The increased productivity of the
railroads was said in the brief to have
| been due. not to any increased effort
| of the men, but to stringent economies
in operation. and the expenditure Of
! 100000 900 in extensions, additions and
! improvements TO property, including
| heavier power and the reduction of

marine circled about, Offering. accord
ing to stories told by those rescued,
no assistance. A fishing boat appear
peared on the scene and saved 140 of
the passengers and crew. Captain Da-
Wis of the liner. was picked up dead.
Eight other bodies We're recovered. The
survivors were landed at Milford Ha-
ven.
The survivors relate that the liner
was seventy miles southwest Of Mil
ford Haen when the submarine ap-
peared she called to the captain Of the
Falaba to heave-to. but he ignored the
order and promptly started at full
speed ahead The liner was a fast
craft, and for half an hour the chase
was kept up before the submarine
overhauled her and compelled her to
stop.
The passengers and crew were given
five minutes to leave and although
this time was very brief. most Of the
boats were launched before the sub
marine fired her torpedo. The projec-
tile struck the Falaba in the engine
room and a terrific explosion follow
ed. The ship settled down and sank
very quickly. Some of the lifeboats
were smashed and scores Of people
were struggling in the water when a
ira wler reached the scene and rescued
$50 OF them. transferring them later
to a destroyer Thirty-five others were
picked up by another fishing boat.
Three Of the persons rescued had sus-
tanned injuries by German shrapnei,
and some Of the engine room staff of
the F'alaba were killed.
The Falaba was considerably larger
than most Of the British merchant
men which have been sunk by Ger
man submarines. She was 300 feet
long and her net tonnage was soil.
She belonged 10 the Elder Line, was
owned in Liverpool and was engaged
in the African trade.

HOW TO BE STRONG AND FAT

The trouble with most thin people who
wish TO gain weight is that they insist on
drugging their stomach or stuffing- it
with greasy foods; rubbing on useless
flesh creams" or following some foolish
physical culture stunt, while the real
cause Of thinness goes untouched. You
cannot get fat until your digestive tract
assimilates the food you eat.
Thanks to a remarkable new scientific
discovery, 1t is now possible to combine
into simple form the very elements need
ed by the digestive organs to help them
convert food into rich, fat-laden blood.
This master-stroke of modern science Is
called Tonoline and has been termed the
greatest of fesh-builders. Tonoline aims
through it's regenerative, reconstructtve
powers to coax the stomach and intes-
tines to literally soak up the fattening
elements of your food and pass them into
the blood, where they are carried to every
cell and tissue of your body. You can
readily picture the result when this
amazing transformation has taken place
and YOU notice how your cheeks flli out,
hollows about your neck, shoulders and
hust disappear and you take on from 10
70 40 pounds of solid, healthy flesh. Ton
oltne Is absolutely harmless, Inexpensive,
ancient. Tonoline costs only $l.0o for a Is
