OVER LIVING COST
(By United Press)

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE de-
mand for a wage increase of probably
rs per cent is contemplated by four
of the big railway brotherhoods,
Vice President Doak Of the trainmen
admitted today. Increased cost of
living without regard to increase in
wages since the war opened will be
the base upon which the demands
will be made.
The first outright move toward
opening negotiations with the rail-
ways may be taken at the meeting
in Ottawa, October 25, if agreed up
on by the conductors, trainmen, fire
men and engineers. The demand
will be made by acting in organiza-
ton. Doak does not believe joint
convention could get fully under
way until early next year.

MORE ABOUT THE BEAR" HUNT

Boys Were Not at All Afraid Of
That Hog
10 the Editor of The Robesonian:
In last weeks paper l saw an ac-
count Of bear hunt which turned
out to be a neighbor's hog. This is
true about its being a hog, though
| did not think before we caught
him that it was a bear.
Early one morning while on his
way to carry dog home which he
had been hunting with, Mr.. C. E.
Miller said the dog went into the bay
near his fathers field. and baved
something on the ground, so he went
into the bay but when he came near
the dog he tried to make the dog
catch the game but could not. It
being yet dark and he could not see
ne could not make out what it was.
!hls dog had the honor of being
fierce catcher. After playing this
trick for several times he decided
to see for sure what it was, so Tues
day evening, Jan. 2, l passed Mil
ller's home and he told me of the race
he had but did not know what it
was, though he did not say it was
a bear. He asked me to 90 with
him next morning to chase him.
Well, | thought of this hog which
, belonged to H. X. Oxendine, which
was always wild and had then been
gone for several weeks and knew
by this time he was wild indeed; SO
| tod OXendine to meet us at the
bay, so that if it was hog he could
identify.
| Next morning we went to the bav
before light, there being among the
hunters Mr.. E. Williams, Mr.. C. E
Miller and the owner Of the hog ans
myself. 1t was not long before WE
had him going across q field and tt

was. Some of the boys being afraie
it was some other hog, blew thei
dogs off and started in hunt for som,
other game, it being vet dark. Bu
Miller insisted that we go back an,
catch the hog, that it must be th
right one; so we went back to tn
bay and bayed him again. Mr.. G
. E. Miller and I went right into tn
dogs. The man that said we wer
