The four brotherhoods which, within
a year. twice threatened and were pre-
pared to precipitatc n nationwide strike

the last fight they won what averaged
about 20 per cent higheF-pay to men IN
freight service. Tho increase amounts
30 some S600O0,0O0 per annum for all
iniiroods in the country.
In that victory the passenger service
men got comparatively little But they
stood in to support the campaign and
were committed to strike should the
brotherhood leaders give the order. Now
The freight service men will be asked TO
back their co-workers IN the passenger
Service. Already the movement ia afoot.
The brotherhood official organizations
have voted, as TO the west and The south,
in favor Of pressing demands on the
railroads. Similar action will soon be
taken for the eastern territory
That done the brotherhood officers
will determine what demands 10 make
and how to press them. 10 is expected
that the proposition will base upon a
20 per cent. advance IN all present mile
age rates Of pay with a scale of mimi
mum wages for day, regardless of the
miles covered by the men.
Such an increase, Il is roughly figured,
would add about Sl5,O0O,0OO per annuni
70 the nav Of the passenger service men.
When the demands have been formu-
lated they will be submitted In ballot
form To The brotherhood members, who
win thus vote authority upon tho on
GERS TO press the demands. II is ex-
pected that such vote Will be taken not
later than December. Then. n the rail-
roads do not yield. the next step will
BE- a second vote 10 authorize a strike
10 enforce the demands.
The settlement driven through early
IN the year raised the freight men al
most TO equality with The better paid
passenger service men. 10 viii he urged
that the former spread as between The
two services should be restored.
Whether the brotherhood chiefs will
decided 10 make the campaign now be-
ing mapped out a national movement
remains to be seen. There are argyll
inents for and against that method.
II now seems most likely that the
Tight will be made In three divisions
Of the country, the east, the west, the
south, probably IN one section at a
time. Or II may be that the brother
hood officers will fall back to the old
plan OF making demands on selected
railroads.

Do not try 10 cure catarrh BY taking drugs

manner. The only way in which this too
common disease can be cured is through q
direct application that will kill Che catarrh

remedy for cntarrh that has ever been dis
covered.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
little, consisting Of an inhaler. dropper and
euficient HyOmei to last several weeks. This
should effect cure IN ordinary cases. but
for chronic and deep-soated cases Of ca
tarrh, longer use may be necessary. and then
extra bottles Of Hyomei can be obtained for
o fow cents. 10 is not alone the best &c
might be called the only method Of treating

The theory is illogical, and the truth
Of it has never been demonstrated. 1t
is true that there are few individ-
uals who are born into the world with
an unusual amount of latent ability,
and people call them talented. The
difference between the words talent
and latent is merely a variation In the
location Of the letters. The meaning
Of the two words is almost identical.
The possession Of talent means the
possession of some latent quality which

goal of his dreams always smiles when
he hears some one speak of born
genius.-Los Angeles Times.

THE UNION DRY GOODS COMPANY
PeriIs Of Oil Csreoes

The explosion of vessels carrying Pc
troleum frequently occurs, and this is
generally caused not by the cargoes OF
oil which they contain, but by the In
hammable vapor which is left behind
after the huge tanks of the ships have
Teen emptied.
1t is difficult to remove all the oil
that adheres to the sides of the tank,
and the evaporation of the oil film left
In them after they have been pumped
out takes place with great rapidity.
Moreover, the vapor thus formed min
giles readily with the air and is capable
of rendering more than 1000 times Its
own volume of the latter infamma-
BILE. A spark may thus cause a fear
full explosion In the hold of ship that
is apparently empty.
a film of petroleum spreading over
the surface OF the water has been
known TO produce enough Of this vola-
tile and dangerous vapor to cause a
confagration, by which a number of
ships lying In harbor have been sud
denly enwrapped in roaring flames as
If by a stroke Of magic.
