Danger Signals.

II the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop IL or go and help
to put out the fire? 1t is much the
same way with a cough. A cough is
a danger signal as much as a fire
bell. You should no more try to
suppress 1t than to stop a fire bell
when it is ringing, but should cure
the disease that causes the coughing.
This can nearly always be done by
taking Chamberlain's Cough Rene
dy. Many have used it with the
most beneficial results. 1t is espe-
ciaily valuable for the persistent
cough that so often follows a bad
cold or an attack Qf the grip. Mrs.
Thomas Beeching, Andrews, Ind,
writes: During the winter my hus-
band takes cold easily and coughs
and coughs. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is the best medicine for
breaking up these attacks and you
cannot get him to take any other"
Obtainable everywhere. m

IL ALLEGED "NIGHT
RIDERS ACQUITTED

Tacoma, Wash. Dec. 23.-Twelvc
so-called might riders accused of
conspiring to drive settlers from
homesteads taken under Government
claim. were acquitted today in the
United States District Court. Mrs.
Margaret NJ. Ross was the plaintiff.
She alleged that one night in Janua-
ry, 1914, fifteen masked men burn
ed her cabin on her Pacific County,
Wash. claim, and drove off her and
two sons. The defense endeayorei
to show during the trial that Mrs.
Ross had squatted on the homestead
of a woman who had left the claim
temporarily. The case dragged in
the county courts for months and
then Mrs. Ross told her troubles to
the Department of the Interior. and
Federal grand jury indicted thir-
teen men. The case against one of
these was dismissed for lack of ev-
idence.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There IN
only one way to cure deafness. and that 10
by constitutional remedies Deafness is
caused By an nhanned condition of the mu-
cous lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infia ned you have a rumbling
sound OF imperfect hearing. and when Il Is
entirely closed. Deafness Is the result. and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube rettored to its normal condi-
ton. hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh.
which Is nothing but an infiamed condition
OF the mucous turfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case OF Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be curn by Halls Catarrh Cure

Action Not Unanimous.

The arbitrators were not unani-
nous in arriving at their decision,
altho all six signed the award. James
Il. Connors. of Chicago, assistant
president of the Switchmen's Union.
and w. A. Titus, of Cleveland, vice
president of the union. who repre-
sented the switchmen on the board,
filed a majority report, dissenting
from the awards of the five cents an
hour increase and the pro rata over
time. Il. F. Potter, of Minneapo-
lis, assistant general manager of the
Minneapolis, st. Paul and Sault St.
Marie Railway, and T. w. Evans. as
sistant general manager of the New
York Central, representing the rail
roads, also filed a minority report
dissenting to the eight-hour grant.
The board held its first meeting
here November 10 last. Public hear
ings were held from that date to De-
cember s, and 1.496 pages of testi-
mony were taken. The original
agreement to arbitrate provided for
filing the award within thirty days
from the date of the first hearing.
When the board found It could not
live up to the agreement. a supple
mental one was drawn extending the
time to December 20.
Just about that time the differ
ences between the members were still
so great. it was learned. that another
extension was arranged. expiring to-

WAGE INCREASE.
5000 MEN AFFECTED
Unanimous Decision Not Reached
Railroads Claim Blow to Adam
son Law.

New York. Dec. 23.-An eight-hour
day, an increase in wages of cents
an hour and straight pro rata over
time was granted members of the
Switchmen's Union employed by thir-
teen Eastern and Middlewestern rail-
roads in an award filed here today by
the Federal Board of Arbitration that
heard their differences.
The decision of the board had been
eagerly awaited by the railroads in
general and the four major brother
hoods of railroad trainmen for what
bearing it might have on the contro-
versy between them over the Adam
son act, in which the eighthour day
is a question at issue.
The decision today in the switch
mems case says that eight hours or
less shall constitute a days work."
gives IAN increase of cents an hour
on the present rates of pay" and rules
that overtime shall be paid at pro
rata rates." to be computed ION the
basis OF the actual minutes worked"
Switchmen at present receive
maximum hourly rate of forty cents.
The award increases this rate to for
| ty-five cents. so that, as explained to-
night by Judge Charles b. Howry,
chairman of the board. on the eight
hour basis they will receive $3.50 for
a days work, forty cents less than
they received under the ten-hour ba-
sis. BY working ten hours under
/ the new rate, they will receive $3.50,
or fifty cents more than under the old
rate.
In statement appended to the
award by Judge Howry and Prof.
jeremiah w. jerks. the neutral men,
bers of the board of six. II is de-
clared that the long hours of switch
men do not imply excessive physic-
al labor" that it has been establish
ed lit will not be possible to make
the actual working eight-hour day
effective in the case OF more than 4
small percentage of the switching
crews" and that with the excep-
ton of one experiment, the testi7
mony was unanimous to the effect
that the efficiency of switchmen on
the shorter workday would be only
slightly increased, so that the burden
of the shorter hours would fall al
most entirely on the railroads"
While the switchmen asked for a
ten-cent increase. the statement ep-
phasizes the point that the five-ceht
advance is the largest given in any
arbitration. The increase was
granted. the neutral arbitrators ex-
plain. because of the high cost of liy-
ing, and the hazards and hardships
of the work"
"The increase" they state, Elm
poses a heavy burden on the rail
loads, which, owing to the interstate
commerce law. they are unable 70
transfer to the shippers and thence
to the public"
They add that lit is the duty of
the properly constituted government
al authorities to protect railway in
terests in this regard, so far as ii is
necessary"
