CONDUCTOR BETTER
PAID THAN COLONEL

Washington, Aug 19.-Congressman
Blanton, of Texas was loudly applaud
ed by the galleries today when he
presented an array of figures to
prove his contention that most of the
railroad employees already receive
higher wages than army officers or
the Governor of Texas and that it
comes with bad grace for them to
be pressing their demands for more
pay.
He said he had written the general
manager of the Pennsylvania lines in
the East for a statement of average
wages paid engineers and conductors
He read the following figures from a
reply dated August IS: Average
monthly wages drawn by freight en-.
$308,55 passenger conductors, 1913, so
In comparison with this, he said
the Governor of Texas received S333.-
80 per month, colonel in the army
the same pay: a lieutnant colonel,
$291.666; a major $3.50. and a cap
tain $2OS.33
He said he knew a judge in his dis
trict being paid salary of $40 a day
who resigned with the statement
that day laborers were making more
tan he drew as a judge.

VIRGIN ISLANDS
GAINING TRADE

st Thomas, T..rgin Islands, July S.
Correspondence of the A,ssicated
Press).-This American port is be-
ginning to regain some of its former
maritime Importance. Owing TO the
war, Improvements in this direction
have been slow since the Virgin Is
lands were purchased from Denmark
but now, after cons derable agitation
by business men of st. Thomas.
American steamers are beginning to
cali here This is the result of repre-
sentatiLns which have been made to
Washington in behalf of the inhabi-
tants Of the islands.
The Inlanders feel that Ameican
steamship owners and espec ally the
Shipping Board at Washington have
heretofore overlooked the facilities of
the harb0r of St. Thomas for provid-
ing coal, fuel oil, and other stores.
While few. American steamers have
been calling at st. Thomas for sup
plies, many have called at the neigh
boring British islands where facilities
mt
The price of coal is cheaper at st.
Thomas than at the British islands.
To bring this matter before the
Shipping Board and to obtain all the
help possible from the American
people and Congress, a meeting of the
inhabitants of the Virgin Islands
was held here. Resolutions were adopt
ed calling the attention of the Ship
ping Board to the facilities of the
port, such as a pier 5000 feet long
with 81 feet of water along side and
all up-to-date appliances for the quick
dispatch of vessels wanting coal, wa
ter fuel oil and other stores.
The resolution was carried to
Washington by Darwin o. Curry, Col
lector OF Customs, who laid it before
the Shipping Board. Mr. Curry has
since returned and reports that board
members of Congress, and American
business men have promised to do all
they can for the island.
Another Oil depot is being erected
here to meet increased demands The
people Of St. Thomas believe it pos
sessess far better facilities than most
other West Indiana Islands and are
determined to make known its avail

INDIGESTION
LOSS OF APPETITE
And Similar Troubles Helped by ziTon Iron
Tonic, Says Albanian.

II got a bottle of Ziron". writes
Marshall Rhordes, of Eufaula, Ala,
"and took it for indigestion, nervous
ness, loss of appetite and similar trou-
bles. 1t helped me very much. My
mother-in-law suffered with the same
troubles, SO l gave her dose or two
of Ziron, and she says it helped her
greatly. l will always keep a bottle
of Ziron in the house and will speak
a good word for it whenever | have
the opportunity"
Ziron is new combination of Iron,
with the hypophosphites of lime and
soda, and other valuable tonic ingre-
dents, which have been found to
build up the enemic, weak, WORKOUT
system. Ziron puts iron into your
blood when you need it. If you are
pale, weak, nervous, depressed, have no
appetite, it is probably a sign that your
blood needs Iron. Take Ziron.
Your druggist sells it, on a guaran-
tee. See him about it.

Not a New York Dock Worker
Returns To-day.
Had Promised To End WaIkOut
on Chelsea Piers.
ROGERS UNION TO BLAME
Strikers Split Into Two Fac
lions Tuesday Night.
Shots Were Fired in Riot Fol-
lowing Strike Meeting.

New York, Oct. 22.-Not a long
shoreman went to work on the Chel-
sea piers in response to o'clock
whistles this morning. altho hundreds
Of dock workers were congregated in
the vicinity of the big transatlantic
steamship piers there at an early hour,
promises yesterday to return to work
in the Chelsea district, one of the
most important on the New York
water front, having brought no result.
1t was on the word of, the Chelsea
longshoremen that officials based
their prediction of a break in the
strike here.
Official Expresses Surprise.
T. ". O'Connor, president of the In
ternational Lohgshoremen's associa-
ton, to- whom the promise to return
to work had been made, expressed sur
prise at the failure of the Chelsea
longshoremen to resume work. He
said failure of the Riggers' local to
resume probably was the reason for
the longshoremen's inactivity. He ex-
planned that, inasmuch as the riggers
operate the tackle and lines of the
ships and piers, it would be impossible
for longshoremen to begin work with
out them.
In the Chelsea district are located
the great transatlantic steamship
piers, including the Cunard and White
Star lines. the Clyde Steamship com
pany and>the General Transatlantic.
Started Small Riot.
The faction voting to end the strike
was under leadership of O'Connor.
Shortly after they had reported their
vote 1900 other strikers, headed by
John E. Riley. chairman of the strik-
ers' committee, voted to stay out.
Charging O'COnnOr with unfairly
representing their views, several hun
dred longshoremen at a meeting in
Hoboken last night Kissed and booed
him and Joseph Ryan. vice president,
and started a small sized riot.
-O'Connor was prevented from speak
ing and finally. when two shots were
fired, scores from the audience
rushed to the stage, where a general
fight began. Police reserves arrested
several of the strikers and Ryan

FATHER HUFFMAN HERE
Laymen:s Retreat Lecturer at C. of C.
Thursday Noon.

Father A. J. kaufman, of St.
Mary's college, will be the guest of
honor and the speaker of the day at
the Chamber of Commerce tomorrow
noon. He is said to be one of the
most eloquent of the Catholic clergy
men of Kansas and will speak on one
of the present day problems.
Father kaufman is well known to
many Topeka business men as the
lecturer and conductor of the annual
laymen's retreats at st. Mary's college.
These retreats are held during the
month of August. 1t is a vacation of
sorts and an education of parts to
attend one of these retreats. The
tired business man makes application
to Father kaufman for enrolment at
one of the retreats. Then on Satur-
day afternoon the business man goes
to st. Mary's and lives as do the priests
of the college. They are fed on the
finest kind of food and served lee
lures of the highest order. Monday
evening, well, rested and with minds
alert, the business man returns to his
labors in the city. There is no charge
made for attendance at one of these
retreats-when Monday leaving time
comes the individual may make such
contribution as he desires.

First o. S. Representative at
Berlin Won't Be Ambassador.
Have Rank OF Charge OF EN-
bassy-FulI Envoy Later.
TO REDUCE OTHER EMBASSIES
Ministers Will Be Provided for
Austria and Hungary.
Turkey VIII Have To Share
Minister With Bulgaria.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Charge of
embassy will be the rank of the first
American diplomatic representative to
Germany after the ratification of the
peace treaty. for not until sufficient
time has elapsed to test the workings
of the treaty and the spirit in which
the present government of Germany
undertakes to carry out it's provisions
will the representative give place to a
fully accredited ambassador. This
plan. it was learned today. ALSO will
be followed by the entente govern
ments.
Out of consideration for the senate,
which might resent any action on the
part of the executive branch antici-
patory of the disposition of the treaty
not possible to announce the name of
the person who will assume the i'm
portant office of charge at Berlin, but
it was intimated that the selection
would be made from the ranks of
some of the embassy secretaries, who
by reason of long service and train
ing are regarded as equipped for the
discharge of the heavy and RESPONSE
BILE duties connected with the re-estab-
lishment of full diplomatic relations
with the late enemy country.
There is no disposition, it was
learned, to reduce the rank of the
American diplomatic representation in
Germany, which still remains one of
the great nations of the world. But
it is understood to be planned to make
such a change in the case of Austria
and Hungary. Separated as the two
states are into two nations greatly re-
duced in size and importance, these
countries will be regarded as properly
entitled to missions only and there will
be a minister plenipotentiary provided
for each.
The Turkish embassy also is due for
reduction in rank, it was learned. Con-
sidering the small size OF the country
! which will remain under Turkish con-
troll, it may be that the remnant will
have to be content to share an Amer1-
can minister with Bulgaria and any
lesser state that may remain in the
Ral<anS
